FF14 is not made for hardcore players.

[Gobio]

The first thing to note is don't categorize anybody.

"Based on my extensive research, there are 9 types of MMORPG players, and let me tell you if you belong in 4 out of the 9 types, then this game is not for you."

Get out of here.

XIV is made exclusively for hardcore players.
It's designed arround Japanese NEETs to be predatory on their health issues. Abuses of FOMO.

At least thats my perspective, and i don't play little, i guess im just unefficient and feel like everything is too far away, like role mounts, mentor things, pfffffff

It has a very big initial time investment but once you finish it takes very little to keep up or catch up.

The game is actually designed completely around casuals and aging people being able to play and have fun.

FFXI is a much better adventure MMO than XIV

If only XI wasn't so exclusive. I can play XIV no problem but XI tries everything to make it harder for people in my country to play.

I would love to see a compromise between XI and XIV. XI wasn't accessible enough (played it for 7 years, though) whereas XIV is way too easy and dumbed down unless you do current endgame (been playing since closed alpha of 1.0).

And while I really like Eureka's zones and Bozja's CEs, I find it funny that people say that they imitate XI. It's a very crude approximation if anything.

A compromise would be to finally put anything dangerous that require more than thank 'n spank into the overworld. And I'd love to have Bozja's potion system, too. Anything that helps me differentiate from others job-wise would be very appreciated without disturbing SE's obsession with balance in the endgame.
