A well designed and executed game will have a difficulty curve that is reasonably smooth and consistent overall. FFXIV's is akin to a drunk stumbling through wet concrete before promptly faceplanting into the lamppost that is Extremes.
...That is painfully accurate about how I felt going from Mt. Gulg/Amarout and Dead Ends to the other 80/90 dungeons.
