Also ffxis system was a lie, for 90% of the game even match meant certain death, decent challenge meant likely death, and easy prey was 50 50. a few jobs could do even matches, after they buffed jobs signifigantly, and at the end of the day that knock out drag out fight was worth 100 exp, wtf.

basically they planned for you to fight mobs higher than you, you were never supposed to see the level so it wasnt really relevant, mobs that conned even match (yellow) were in fact like 6 levels higher than you probably. Its more important for exp determination than you versus them, that the difference in level be as it is.
And by making an even match an actual even match they could alter SP/EXP give even match 200 and incredibly tough 500, problem solved
