Thank you for increased difficulty

I don't mind the challenge, except I feel that the Mist Dragon is too unforgiving for it to be part of the MSQ.

Difficult Side-content is fine, Suzaku is not MSQ nor is Alphascape, and that's entirely fine. That bit of content can be skipped if the player can't hack it. MSQ, however, is kinda required for everything else in the game, and it shouldn't be so difficult.

But Mist Dragon is tuned just a wee bit too high for an MSQ dungeon, just a wee bit unforgiving, and 1 group member's mistake can easily wipe the whole group with that directional AoE or how the healer getting clipped by an AoE is almost certain death if you don't have a RDM or SMN in the group with you.

Let's see. Mist Dragon is basically another fight similar to the final boss of Stone Vigil normal. You also add in the 8-way aoe of Nidhogg's Waifu from Sohm Al Normal, the dps check of Amdapor Keep Hard, and the "find the boss" in the mist mechanic similar to Neverreap's first boss during Cauterize. He just hits harder as if the old Stone Vigil normal came full circle again spiritually (that dungeon had trash that hit like trucks, and harder than the earlier optional ones too).
