Difficulty of the Game...

I came across this article and I found this relates to how I feel, and well probably others.

wut?!

I can't seem to draw a comparison between the Souls' series to FFXIV.

The Souls games are a punishing game. meaning that in order to accompish goals, you almost need to literally punish yourself either in order to complete objectives or because you completed your objectives. If you are comparing this to FFXIV being a grindfest, I don't think that's what the post of Demon/Dark Souls was about.

Those games were often VERY Challening, in my memory. with circumstances such as getting overwhelmed by enemies if you didn't take it very slow.

SE's initial reaction to speed runs was "Don't let them do this! Make it more difficult!" *Points to origins of Amdaplor Keep.*

By that, I'm referring to either skipping lots of mobs, or killing lots at one time. We, as players, have the capacity to make this game very easy. Their is a speed run strategy for all non-BCoB related content. You can't do that in the Souls series.

I wish this game was more like Dark Souls, then It would be more open and less closed to trying new ways of thinking. As it stands now, this game is NOTHING like the Souls Series. To say otherwise is a joke.......
