More challenging doesn't mean "Increase the HP BAR", I've said I can accept it being slower if they are more challenging. Challenge is what makes a game interesting usually, but you can be challenged with anything: a puzzle, a platform section, a mob fight, whatever. I don't have any details on how to make them more challenging, it's not my job, but I played various games when you can die from trashes, not only from bosses.
Damn, even the first super Mario had more challenging trash mobs, LOL!
That being said, I accept your suggestions on the other stuff, although you must explain me a bit more because I'm a noob from level 51 to 60, so I don't know exactly:
1) I can do dungeons, but usually after 6th time it gets boring (can be more if dungeon is well done, but so far I faced only 2 dungeons and I'm in the process of facing the third one, after dinner)
2) Hunts: I thought these were only a level 60 thing. How can I get those? What can I do? I thought the Hunting Log wasn't used from level 50 to 60, I was very disappointed not having that available, was a good source of Xp, is there anything similar?
3) Challenge log, I have no idea what is that, can you describe?
If the moogles parth is the one level 53-55, I've finished it today. Not sure how I survived that, though, but I'm sure I hate moogles now.
This is not a casual mmorpg, unless you skip ENTIRELY the leveling and you play minigames only.
Leveling is long and once you get to maximum level, dungeons become difficult.
Sure you can play it casually, but not only you'll get nothing (there are many more fun games that you can play and get more from as a casual gamer, not to mention cheaper) good out of it. Yeah you can play it casually if you are a Final Fantasy fan, but if you are not, this game doesn't fit at all.
Believe me, I played ARR with my girlfriend, I'm a gamer since ages, she "started" only recently (well, 5 years now), and once we reached level cap, the big skill difference came into play, she struggled with basic dungeons while I was breezing through them and moving toward Coil (which was very challenging for me too), so I don't see how this can be handled casually. And she even trained a lot, she managed to defeat Titan hard, but what required me few days, required her a week of training. So no, it's not for casual players.
