The new Standard of Gaming?

I have to be at the end of a game to find any challenge? That doesn't seem right. A game should be fun and challenging the whole way up, and multiply in difficulty at the end. I don't see that here. It's easy until 50, and then it goes up a quarter step at 50.

Have you read or even watch any of Yoshida's interviews or live letters? He specifically made 1 through 50 more easy, and though he said that. I honestly thought some parts through 1 through 50 was hard. The challenge comes at end game. PLUS he wanted the game to attract players who were new to MMORPGs. Especially since not many MMORPGers play on the console so a majority of them are new. You haven't even hit 40!

Play a crafting class. Challenge issue solved.

brand new players/people who have not played mmos cant have too much shoved on their head, The game ramps up, 30 it starts to become more difficult and there is plenty of endgame challenge. Endgame is what an mmo is about, the meat and bones of the genre, so only being truly difficult at endgame is fine. That is where players spent the majority of their time, the leveling being a learning process is just fine.
