FFXI vs FFXIV Difficulty

[Lux_Rayna]

FFXI in a year most people only had one or two jobs capped with maybe one craft capped and sub craft to sixty.

FFXIV in a year people have all jobs and crafts capped.

I hate to do this but you are comparing an incomplete game, which will be scrapped, to FFXI...which had been out as a complete game for a year with an expansion before it ever came to the US.

Basically wait until 2.0, which is the complete game, before making any comparisons...at least a year into 2.0 to be fair. Difficulty cannot be balanced in a game "under development", which is what FFXIV is.
