Are we talking about level 60 Beast Strongholds? Because it seemed like Zeonx was talking more about regular area content that you would actually use to level up/main story quest in. I would expect the Beast Strongholds to be difficult to move through at the 3.0 patch since there isn't a giant gap in gear level yet (though I'm curious as to how experienced the interviewer is at FFXIV, so if you could link a source to your quote that would be cool). I'm pretty sure classes and players who are used to soloing content probably won't have a tough time at all in these areas. I'm 100% sure though that an ilevel 170 Bard would still be able to take on 6 enemies at once as long as they don't have a ranged option.

I'm glad they made the field enemies harder too, because it was really game breaking that certain classes could kill enemies 10 levels higher than them.
