Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Impressions continued. It's not so much an upgrade.

Just going to answer a few points. First and foremost.  Wagram's impression is coming from a beta, and from a level cap that is maxed at Lv20 content wise, with not all the features implemented in this beta phase.

Out of curiosity, did you by chance do Halatali, Brayflox, or Haukke? Those are above level 20 content (which is why there's currently not story quest attached).

It's still very easy to see the direction they're going with this. Yoshida even coming out saying Brayflox is harder in Beta then it will be in retail is largely concerning because Brayflox isn't even difficult.

and deskpro is right. This is still in Beta, but Open Beta is coming... so changes can still be made, but with the few that have been done so far i'm quite skeptical.

I think the difficulty is appropriate for its level. I feel lv25-lv30 should be the stage where new players should be getting more used to group content.

Sure it might be cake walk for legacy players, but I'm sure Square Enix have stuff prepared for legacy people too.
