I honestly don't understand why the lot of you are complaining about simple battle modifications like these. Seriously? You complained about seeing mob level and whether they were aggro or not because it made the game "easier"? You're complaining about seeing an enmity gauge because it makes the game "easier"?

Honestly, if that's what you think makes or breaks a game's difficulty and fun, I feel absolutely sorry for you.

It's amazing how so many old FFXI players are so shortsighted. Hell, I played FFXI religiously and even I see that minor things like mob level and enmity are nothing when it comes to terms of difficulty.

Sorry to bring more WoW logic here, but that game focused more on fun boss mechanics than sitting there derping about when to attack and when not to. Things like bosses that reacted to sound, so if you moved you'd get aggro, all while things blow up around you forcing you to think strategically about when to move and when not to. Bosses that put a debuff on you that kills you within a short duration, which you had to pass around to other players, making sure you don't pass it to someone who didn't already pass it or you both die, all while kiting slime mobs that can explode and kill all 25 people in your group. If this threat meter will allow the Devs to focus on better battle mechanics rather than having to make more fights where the hardest element was claiming the mob, then I'm all for it.

Managing threat? That's what you consider fun and difficult? So much so that an enmity meter will break the game for you? What the hell is wrong with you?
