(Spoilers) Ghimlyt difficulty was a step down from the Burn...and that needs to stop

Ya know, I am actually not that bothered by it. After all, we are the Warrior of Light. We are the Eikon Slayer. We should be going through Garlean Troops like a hot knife through butter.

A sword that is never unsheathed is doomed to lose its edge and rust.
We are the warrior of light because our inherit will to overcome the odds. The imperial might has been hyped over and over, what was cool about Zenos was exactly how unbeatable he was. The dungeon should indeed be far harder a real test of strength.

The warrior of light has stopped being a combat prepared sword, is more like a flashy ornamental decorative one now. The warrior of light needs to be broken, completely defeated, be teached that the world is far larger than himself, and that even blessed he needs to ever improve and fight ever higher challenges in order to prevail. The Emperor said war. War i saw but i didn't feel.

Not really disagreeing with you there, and I totally expect to get into another hard fight with Zenos. I loved all the encounters we had with him and how we utterly lost the first few fights. But not everyone is Zenos. While yes, gameplay wise it's somewhat disappointing that the dungeon wasn't more challenging, story wise it doesn't bother me in the least, since I basically ran through grunts.

Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised if it was intentional. Every time I discussed with friends what it would be like if we actually started a war with Garlemald, I joked how we should single handedly kick the door down and decimate half their army without breaking a sweat. After all, I defeated Shinryu and even the Omega Weapon. What's some Magitek Colossus and a Garlean Soldier compared to that? Yoshi-P might have had the same thought. So they give us this little power trip with the Ghimlyt dungeon, and in the next patch or the upcoming Expansion we get to eat a big piece of humble pie.
