All but one of those things you just listed were added via expansions. Dynamis (and {sky}) were the only endgame events you could do with vanilla FFXI/RotZ.
Let's also not forget that Pankeymon died a quick death because it was poorly implemented and not actually any fun.
Err, if you meant Vanilla FFXI period then no neither was in. If you meant the "vanilla" package US players got in October of 2003 then Sky was in (level cap was 70 back then, increased to 75 that December) but Dynamis wasn't and wouldn't be introduced until the February update in '04 with the four cities released.

youre right it took two and a half years however US got the game 2 years late so we didnt have to "suffer" when we got the game it was at a raised lvl cap one expansion in and we only waited 2 months (as opposed to 2 and a half years) for limbus sooooooo yeah
Uh, no it wasn't. Limbus didn't come until CoP was released and that was two years roughly after release (October 2005).

even with vanilla ffxi theres still one thing it had over xiv. sure it didnt have much at lauch either however when xi hit US the exp was changed to make 1-75 shorter
Stop talking out of your ***.
The only changes made to EXP needed weren't until September of 2004 and that only increased the amount of EXP you could get in a maximum kill (from 200 to 250 for 51 - 60, and 200 - 300 for 61 - 75+). It hardly decreased the amount needed to level or make it shorter since the level of the monster you needed to get to consistently kill wasn't worth the time it took to kill them. The adjustments level 51+ experience being lowered wasn't until April 2005 with the changes made to EP and DC monsters not made until September 2008.
Use facts to back up your statements about such nonsense, or shut up.

Specific examples, please. Either put up, or shut up.
