That's what all the arguing boils down to, Jkei. I'd argue that the two are not the same.

Let's take Black Mages. They are straightforward to play. However, get a Black Mage in a situation where they have to move a lot and the job becomes the most punishing.

Now, I don't have an iron in this fire. I don't have a max level Monk nor a max level Ninja in order to make a qualified statement about which is the more difficult.

I just popped in to say there are two ways at looking at the OP's question and until everyone agrees on what defines a job's difficulty, you all are going to continue to argue in circles. However, it really doesn't matter, Raiden Ki decided to play a Ninja.

Good for him (her?)! I hope he (she?) enjoys playing the job; and if they don't, well, Monk is still there to try out.
