    The thing is, with trial and error, casuals will eventually be at the same skill level as hardcore players, just at a slower speed because they don't play the game at the same speed/momentum as hardcore players. This means that the game can continue to get more difficult, but by the time the casuals get to, say, the final God in Sky... The hardcore players will already be focusing on CoP content (the next expansion). Both types of players play the game, and those who play more and are better, will get rewards faster. If casuals care enough about rewards in a video game as hardcore players do, they can simpley put in the time and effort to obtain the same rewards.

    Some of the issues w/ 14 is, if you didn't have LNC to 50 for Ifrit, or ARC 50 for Moogle or Dzemael, then the fight was more difficult. This has to do with class balance, and any casuals who didn't have multiple classes at 50 would be playing under a handicap. Poor class balance resulted in corrupting the judgement of the community on what type of content we should have. The current fights are fine like you said, it's just they can continue to get harder and require better gear.
