Nice and Comfy, Safe and Tidy Overworld

Is this going to continue to be a trend in 3.0? We've already been told that we'll be safe while flying, but what about enemies on the ground? The complete lack of overworld danger has been one of 2.0's low points, so I'm wondering if there's any hint otherwise? The Beastmen/Imperial strongholds are a good example of a completely nonsensical corral of weak enemies, whereas in 1.0 they at least put up a fight.

Perhaps you never ventured into Northern Thanalan when you were level 20 then...there is plenty of danger in the overworld unless you're a fully fledged warriro of light of course, but then again, is that a surprise?

It's not common among MMO's to be able to solo every single enemy you come across. FFXI had some good examples of tough high level enemies in a variety of zones, and virtually every MMO has their equivalent somewhere. FFXIV is a bit of an anomaly when it comes to challenges at the level cap. Outside of instances, there's never an enemy which can endanger you unless it's a Fate boss or a Hunt, both of which are easily avoided.

I remember back in 1.0 where even a low level Cactuar from a normal leve quest could one shot you. High leveled mobs seemingly next to low level areas. Aaaah, good times. That low level run Gridania to Limsa was a thing of beauty back then. I was midly disappointed with how easy it nowadays.
