I thought this scenario was great. We were supposed to feel powerless and desperate to save everything we love. We were supposed to feel like we didn't know how we were going to make it. Instead of seeing this all through the eyes of the Warrior of Light who is essentially a demigod, we are seeing what it would be like to live through this hellish nightmare as a normal solder. And if it sucks, that's exactly why.

I was more annoyed with the other scenario before this one. That one was just plain annoying thanks to those spiders or w/e running in circles. Also the Sorrow of Werlyt solo duty was more annoying too.

Finally, easier difficulties are there for a reason. You never have to do this again if you don't want to (at least on that character). Use that and move on.
