Sounds like elitist gatekeeping to me to be honest, and people who say that tend to also say that every Final Fantasy past their favorite numbered title doesn't deserve the number, typically starting by saying XIII didn't deserve it.

He's not necessarily wrong with what he said but he was harsh about it. In ffxiv, you actually can scrape by without meeting a minimum skill requirement because of your peers, whereas in ffx for example if you can't beat Yunalesca then Billy The'fridge won't bail you out like he can in ffxiv's fight with Susano. You need to muster up your own skills and strats or you'll be hard locked at that bossfight. Like it or not though, being with other people does lay some responsibility that didn't exist before. With that said, the devs have been very good making sure MSQ and any required combat scenarios are relatively easy, so there isn't *much* responsibility if really any at all, chances actually are that Sir William the Electrically Cooled Box can solo challenges for you, to the point it's less energy to just do it than to argue. Stepping into challenge content like extreme or savage though, and definitely responsibility rests on everyone in there.
