You should NEVER need a 338 page document to be able to understand crafting! PERIOD!!!!! So I would disagree with you, FFXIV does not have the best crafting.
Hmm, interesting looking guide. But the fact that I'm a maxed-out omicrafter who has never seen it before sort of disproves your assertion that you "need" to read it to understand crafting. I learned to craft the same way I learned to play PLD or SCH- by doing. Whenever I hit a snag I would refer to google or one of the established FF14 resource websites (same as for any other job in the game) but I never had to sit down and read a monster like that from end to end, lol.

I personally love the crafting and gathering in FF14 more than any other MMO I've played (which is more than I can be bothered to name right now) but I get the whole "different strokes for different folks" thing. The "best" of anything will always be subjective. Can we at least agree that FF14 has the most in-depth and fleshed-out crafting and gathering system available?
