Shinryu wasn't nerfed, it was because most people when they got to that fight had really bad gear on (mostly whatever they picked up from dungeons) and we didn't have the job gear back then like we do now. I remember having to make a PF for that fight just to beat Stormblood; I enjoyed the fight, but never had to do that since and kinda glad I don't.

We did have job gear at that level, the level 70 job quest literally hands you a full set of job AF AND a job AF weapon. You just decided to ignore the game telling you every 2 levels to do your quests. Wish the game refused to let you continue on a quest unless you had your full job AF on, since placing you in front of the job AF vendor for the past 3 expansions also doesn't seem to be doing the trick.

The only expansion where (on launch) we didn't go into the final expansion dungeon and trial with AF gear was HW; since we got that AF as the first set of raid tome gear.
