I do think if you're trying to eke out EVERY drip of potency as a caster, it's of course going to be a lot harder. Just like if you're trying to hit every single positional, it's going to be harder.
I have a limited number of space in these posts, and I'm already verbose as it is, so I don't want to predicate every single caster comment with "except Black Mage that one's hard." I'm sure it is pretty hard on Black Mage. But having done it on Red Mage, I thought optimal RDM was much, much easier than optimal melee.
Now, check yourself before posting hostile stuff like this. I don't like to flex player experience, but I'm not "meleesplaining" anything. I play every role but healer, but you'll notice I don't talk about healer because, unlike you, I know my limits.
