"In from the Cold" Scenario, any way to skip it?

[Jijifli]

Out of curiosity, couldn't you just steamroll it on Very Easy mode after failing it once? Or is it still somewhat difficult?

Very easy makes you have double health and deal double damage. This basically means where 1 guy could almost kill you, it raises the bar up to 4. On top of the health kits you can find, my assumption is you could probably kill every non-magitek enemy easily on very easy (those guys might still kill you though).

So, unless there's something I'm missing or people just really really wanna fight the thing the mission screams at you not to fight, it's pretty easy if you remove a huge chunk of the point in very easy mode.
