Doesn't make my point any less true. I played FFXI for nearly 5 years. I can't truly think of anything that was considered hard in that game. Sure there was some challenging fights but for the most of them the most challenging thing was to stay alive for the hour + it took to kill the monster. That just doesn't qualify as being hard to me. Different strokes for different folks I guess. AV was declared by SE as an impossible creature, not literally but to be a difficult challenge for the most hardcore of the players. Good content.
