won't say raiding is an "afterthought" in XIV like a lot of salty people like to do, but IMO it's pretty obvious that accessibility comes first to Square Enix, and hardcore raiding is the total antithesis of that.
And this is why Square Enix is better than Blizzard. Accessibility is a very good thing, it means more people will enjoy your content, less toxicity from the playerbase, and more fun all around.
