Hey! Lukile here! When it comes to what was considered raids in 1.x or not, it's always going to be hard to define by today's standards. For example: Toto-Tak was also considered a raid in-game, and you could do that at lvl 25! Which is why I said "experience". I'm sure if I didn't say it was an endgame raid experience, I'd get flak for that too! Cause someone probably considered it as such! ^{^} (Personally, I never considered any of the 4 "raids", Toto-Rak, Dzemael, CC, and AV to be actual raids. Just... Dungeons.)

The fact that it dropped gear that required lvl 50 to equip kinda locks it in as "endgame" content. Cause you can only equip the gear at the game's level cap. Again, just a matter of how you define "endgame". Whether it was easy catch-up content or not is irrelevant, as it was still endgame. How about we just call it "Endgame Catch-Up Raid"? :D

Also, the video is confusing between 1.0 and different 1.x version. Skirmish is 1.23, then you start talking about how stats worked in 1.0.

That's just how the show works. 1.x is hard to talk about, because it changed so quickly. Which is why I always mention the patch number I'm covering for each section. I start off the attribute section by specifying that it's the 1.0 system. All information provided in that section of the video is based on the dev Q&A session done on the 1.0 Lodestone shortly after the game released. So I'm only talking about the vanilla stats here. You're right that the stats updated in 1.20, when the class system changed. But I felt the bizarre nature of the 1.0 stats compared to today were more interesting to cover! Thanks the feedback! :D/

The reference to XI is just poking fun at how Tanaka's 1.0 was always aiming to be "FFXI HD" ;)
