    In ffxi, there was significant exp loss for death penalty, which made taking a raise very ideal and helpful and very much appreciated. In this game, there is no fear of death, there is no punishment. You can be back on your feet attacking the mob asap, no consequences. I highly doubt the dungeons are even that hard that we need raise at 14, not only that, they already stated that we can pick our own difficulty and no level cap, so most can probably steam roll thru it and be done in 3-5 minutes, just like the way we are doing leves now. That is not going to make the game any better.
    None of which has anything to do with Raise at 14 making the game easier, or hand holding, but more to do with the game system.

    None of which are obvious to you that is.

    There wasn't before this either. You just hit that magic "Return" button. It's the same thing, only you don't have to run from an Aetherite. The thing is, Raise is in itself, not as major a spell as it was in FFXI. You don't lose xp now on death, so there is no bonus to use it other than not wanting to wait for someone to run back to you. Hell, if people are close enough to a gate, they may chose to save the mage mp and just Return because it's cheaper and faster. That is how worthless Raise is. What level you gain Raise, won't change that.
