Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW!

There aren't more A8s wins because they aren't that many raiders first of all. Second that fight is 13 minutes of fail any of these mechanics and you wipe what means you have to 8 people have to memorize then execute each perfectly for 13 minutes to win. So it takes a while.
As for your dark souls comment you can win that game by memorizing you memorize parry timings when said boss swings which way you have to dodge roll what have you. That whole game series is trial and error but unlike this one every tool is viable. its up to you to make it work some are harder than others and bosses don't do the same thing in the same order every single time you fight them.

Which goes right back to my argument there is a difference between simply memorizing something and being skilled enough to execute it. I know where the basketball hoop is, I know you have to throw a basketball in it. The ability to execute it is what makes or breaks it.

Also, I am going by your logic that a team can beat it simply by memorizing it. Thus, if this was the case, then we should have more raiders in general. We don't, and you honestly think it is only because someone can't memorize what to do next? Anyone can memorize something. Being able to do it and be efficient at your job is a whole different story.

Honestly, I have forgotten what we were originally arguing about.

I think the introduction part of this video sums it up well

At the end of the video is the guy trying to say that XIV is like games of the past with build up and hardcore content? Cause it not XIV is another one of those "walk through door kill boss and keep moving" games Yoshi-p has even called XIV a theme park MMO as if you don't like something just check out next patch for something you might like.

You are correct, I was mostly referring to the start of the video where he is panning instant gratification as being a problem. I have edited my comment to be more accurate.
