Artificial Difficulty

It's not very hard to understand...
Something based on reflexes = not everyone is capable of doing it.
Something based on memory = potentially 99% of the people can pull it.

If everyone can do it, it's not difficult.

That's a pretty stupid way of looking at it. You act like people can't train to improve their reflexes and only the "chosen ones" like you, with a superior genetic profile are capable of completing the content.

So I guess we can all train to be Rafael Nadal or Lionel Messi

There's a difference between talent and skill. In truth, we could all reach that level in skill... if all of us cared to be professional sports players.

Thank you for the personal attack. Back to the debate:

Talent cannot be earned through hard work. Talent gives an edge to the people in question. However, skill is what you can earn and hone. It isn't a big secret anymore on how to train your body in order to perform at a professional level. Some merely take to it easier than others (Talent).

The HUGE difference is passion and the drive to want to perform at that high level. The reason why we have so few professionals in this world is because our mental capacity is by and large unknown to us. Hell, a portion of human kind still believes mental illness is people being lazy.

And that's where I'm getting at. You need that edge in certain areas. The FFXIV endgame is not one of them. This is why most people can clear anything in this game with just effort, the only difference will be that certain players will require more tries.

Incorrect. Talent is *never* a necessity. Skill, however, can be. Talent is a bonus, an addition to a person but I've never seen anything in the world where Talent is required.
