I don't care whatever exploit people could pull off with /nin, I don't care what you were able to solo, it simply was just nowhere as fun to play as XIV's incarnation looks. It seems to have an interesting rotation and every single one of its animation has a character that was almost absent in FFXI beside the AF.

But in all fairness, there actually was a way for RDM to nuke, heal, buff, debuff, and melee in XI, and actually be effective in all levels of content. (it's just that everyone refused to do it, until the end of the Lv75 cap era, partly because people didnt KNOW it could do it, due to lack of proper tooltips on abilities.)
