I mean, they're the same difficulty now that they were when I went through them the first time; remember, as I said in my first comment, I went through the game for the first time after 5.3, the patch that changed ARR and adjusted AV, among other things.

They're really not hard, you're right, but they felt really shoe-horned into modern FF14, compared to the dungeons that were created from whole cloth for ARR.
