FFXI vs FFXIV Difficulty

[Noblewar]

FFXI in a year most people only had one or two jobs capped with maybe one craft capped and sub craft to sixty.

FFXIV in a year people have all jobs and crafts capped.

Yoshi-P please make the game more difficult, if I'm level 20 and a monster is level 20 then we should be even match to each other and not a one sided fight which I'm guarantied to win. If a monster is my level I shouldn't, unless being real skilled, be able to take on 3-6.

Please make it difficult to where a party actually needs a tank and cant get away with 7 DD and a healer, each DD soloing a mob well enough that the healer only needs to throw one heal at the end of their battle.

Please make it to where every class has to pull out their weapon to "cast", even Lord Voldemort needed to use his wand to cast a DD spell. Point being there is no fun in not having to worry about down time weather it be a party or an important fight.

In the end the game needs to be more difficult. At the moment its not very motivating to get something done when you're almost guarantee a victory.

I hope you read this Yoshi-P and thanks for you're time.

Hardest part of FFXI was counting to three for shadows imo.

Why are the Mithra companions such harlots? I get it SE, you wanted the characters in Eorzea to show a bit more flare and adult inclinations but jesus christ! It was like being followed by a slutty drunk frat girl whos biggest accomplishment in life was bringing 4 guys to simultaneous orgasm >.>

I picked lalafel because they were closest things to kids, because of character I made is a young kid wizard. So about 9 years old he is, and the miqo'te hitting on him with these sexual references she makes... is quite odd...

/looks at race poll option #5 (Lalafel/miqo'te)... dear god...

You do realize this game is meant to be solo/casual friendly right...? This game isn't meant to be tough like FFXI, at least not in terms of the level grind. I am tempted to agree that leveling might be a little too accelerated at this moment though. But, without throwing any mid level content in, why bother dragging out the process?

[Dragonheart]

again... exping classes in XI (the example that op said) was hard? Simply tedious and more slow... And in modern games the games aren't centered around the grinding for level capping the character... Even ifrit is "harder" than any ffxi fight, simply because has more modern mechanics (not at the same level of some hard modes in wow as example, but still nice)

Hmm why don't you go back and play FFXI OP?

...Buh? Originally the cap in FFXI was 50, the same as FFXIV. You only had WAR, WHM, THF, MNK, BLM, and RDM too. A lot of people had everything at 50 way back then.

...lolno. Sorry, but I'm mentally comparing Ifrit to stuff like pre 75+ Diabolos / Fenrir or even BCNMs like Price of Valor and just not seeing that at all, sorry.
