For sure. XI you had 5 stages.
Stage 1: Drop weapon.
Stage 2: 4x 100 currency. Stage 1 weapon 3 crafted items.
Stage 3:14x 100 currency. Stage 2 weapon 3 weapon items.
Stage 4: 61x 100 currency Stage 3 weapon 1 Attestation which dropped from a mob that will spawn 6 helpers and has a semi low drop rate
Stage 5: 100x 100 Currency. Stage 4 Weapon 1 Shard from dragons before DL and an item from an animated weapon that you have to kill in like under 60 sec.

So that is 179x 100 items that vary depending on weapon. An average full run yields 300 currency or the equivalent of 3 x 100 items. Depending on shell you may or may not get the 100's that drop so assuming they do not go to you that's 60 runs you have to do or the equivalent of 60 million gil or 30 million based on when you started. Each run being 3+ hrs long that is at least 180 hours or 60 days of play time plus the time needed to farm 30-60million gil. This also doesn't count the number of times you may have to retry a run to kill the animated weapons or attain an attestation so you are looking at 60 days on the highly optimistic side. XI blows this difficulty out of the water. I agree.

Edited in: Mythics were just as hard and always required at least 1 full party but I wont get into those insane requirements.
