    As someone who played ffxi back then I can agree LEVELING was harder only due to the fact you spent 3 days lfp and no you didn't need to party on mobs of the same level you would overhunt on IT mobs with a party generally 6-8 levels above you up to 10+ depending on the level spread and party setup. If you were fighting EM mobs you were probably on bst solo not in a party (also manyjobs were easily soloing EM mobs back then thf nin rdm blm smn rng with bloody bolts etc) so not really sure if you actually played ffxi back then or want to believe you did.

    Also if this is a troll post a tip... Successful trolling makes people mad, it does not make them think you are dumb.

    ffxi was hardcore because of grinding but the game overall was extremely easy. you had sneak/invis to bypass mobs, u stayed stationary while in xp parties, you had re-raise that EVERYONE had access to, classes were not difficult to learn and now that i think about it kind of boring(melee = build tp, pop cds and use ws), none of the endgame had any real strat(kill x, fight from distance, rez spam, kite). Also, when they created 14 it was suppose to be more casual friendly than 11, comparing the two when they were never made to compete with each other in the first place is kinda retarded. Those rose colored glasses are showing you a game that was more awesome than it actually was. FFXI was ok for its time but i think i mostly played for social reasons and because it was final fantasy.

    Looked you up on the lodestone.

    You have never touched a single hardmode encounter as far as i can tell all you've done is ran AK a bit. No relic no Titan HM, no coil progress(in that gear you'd not be able to tank it).

    So you claim the game has no challenges and you've not touched any of the big endgame content.

    So because a regular mob in the world of the same level is stronger than you in XI, this game is easier? Your logic is astounding. you have to fight mobs above your level if you want them to be harder, but this game isn't about pounding outside monsters into a pulp over and over.

    Go find a FATE NM that nobody is doing, and solo it at its level. It's not so easy.

    If you want a challenge, play challenging content. Don't cry to us that you can beat weak monsters easily and think the whole game is easy because of it. Like others said, go beat Titan or Coil of bahamut then try to tell us the game is easy.

    You're basically telling me that FFXI was better because it took an eternity to kill things. Slow combat does not make the game harder or easier. it just makes it take longer.

    This is not end game, 50 is no where close to end game, this is just the beginning so of course it is easy. Ultimately this is for the newer players to catch up to all of the 1.0 players and to have everyone on a "close to even playing field" skill wise and gear wise when they do raise the level cap and implement the challenging dungeons that will happen with it as well. I agree it is easy, but it is easy for that reason and probably some others, but that is more than likely its true core reason.

    I actually agree with OP...
    The game IS easy.

    If there are couple harder things in the game (Coil of Bahamut and Titan hardmode imo), it doesn't mean the game is not easy.

    I am extremely casual (never got relic etc. in FFXI) player, I have played the whole storyline, job quests for jobs I play (all casters), I have Ifrit wep for the class I like the most and I am dressed in darklight gear (pretty much the best stuff there is at the moment). Oh and did I mention that I am at Titan fight for my relic as well...

    In a month, every player and their mother is going to be in the best gear there is and then what? We wait for the next patch... ?

    I know the game just came out and all that, but come on.. if I can get this far in only couple of weeks, what about the hardcore players?
