FFXI did have some real challenging moments, don't kid yourself. I doubt you went in there and 1 shot all Sky bosses or Kirin. Like most games you have to learn the 'dance', which can take up to many hours of wipes to figure out. Once you figure the boss 'dance' out, it's always easy after that.

Blossom, I didn't mean for them to make it like FFXI.. just make content harder. Fighting a boss for hours was just dumb. Sure it made for some epic stories, but to all of us who did it.. never again lol.
