This game is just way to hard...

I agree. The game is very fast paced and requires you to try and try and try again to get the hang of some of the end-game fights. The fights require you to always be in panic mode and I am amazed on how easy it is for a party to be wiped if things aren't dodged and timed at just the right time. Any end-game battle you go in to requires you to know the fight beforehand, there is no "learn as you go" and definitely no watching the cut scenes.

As far as the cut scenes and "learn as you go" things are concerned that isn't a game difficulty problem, it's a player problem. People have no patience anymore and we see this more in the newer generation of MMO gamers. As far as the rest goes...well, if it's your first MMO you probably aren't accustomed to such things.

<.< Where do the Guides and the World First Kills come from then? -.-

The difficulty in FFXIV does not come in that it is "hard" to do. It's quite easy to understand how to dodge and time things out and the boss tricks. I know HOW to do the fights, I just don't WANT to do the fights - not the way they are set up. And the only reason I even fight is so I can get higher-level gear so things at lower levels are easier. I like to level up and be stronger than the fights so I can enjoy doing them without as much chaos. The difficulty in FFXIV is that it everything is "go go go, OMG!!! panic!" Every boss fight since Titan has been just the same feeling of rush and panic to me, and I don't like that. I don't enjoy or look forward to these fights because they are just more of the same.

This sounds more like you need to get use to the fight. You shouldn't panic on a fight were you know everything thats gonna happen, when it's gonna happen cause you've killed the boss 40 times.

Though...I kinda like that panicy feeling now that I think of it...
