Current State of End-Game Contents - A Blog Post from A Japanese Player

Eh, Clavaat is right, the reason there weren't any detailed guides for FFXI bosses is because there really was no need (though YouTube not being a thing back then also contributed a lot). They were simplistic enough for text to be more than enough. How hard is it to explain Kirin? How hard is it to explain Faf/Nid? How hard is it to explain DL?

Then you probably never done the new FFXI boss battle. Delve Version 1 was and still hard to do for most newbies. People complaint so much they had to nerve Delve Version 2. I am ok to have normal difficulty for those dungeons at 50 we have to farm every single day..... no need to make it such a PITA for everyone. Most of FFXI content - whenever they are freshly introduced, is HARD until you figure out what jobs best to bring for the said Bosses. Voidwatch when it was introduced was quite punishing until people figure out what to do (due to there is no "message" to move here or move there or watch out for this and that).
