With the mobs damage and hp being a bit lower if you go with 3 players, cut in half for 2 players, and reduced by 75% for a solo player. Which is totally different from what you said.

FF14's community has a long history of hyping itself way too much for future content, and ending up being disappointed when things are delivered. Remember how dancer should have been a healer ? Do you see all these people thinking that sanctuary island will be instanced housing, even though we have nearly no infos about it, and that Yoshida already said to keep our expectations low ? If i were you i seriously wouldn't expect criterion dungeons to be some intermediate extreme/savage content. Especially if it is going to be tied to the next relics, which are supposed to be completed by everyone.

I have just searched about it. Its strange, I clearly remember multiple websites stating it would be an instance with 4 layer difficulties. Must have been a mistranslation or something.
In any case, doesn't change the fact I'm hoping it would be something more difficult than the normal dungeons.
