Everything always hits a difficulty spike I can't overcome and I end up having to give up on content left and right, even the MSQ got rough in Stormblood and I actually failed some of those solo duties.
eh? Like farming relics, fates, mount farming, maps, crafting, gathering, cosmic exploration, achievements, criterion, UR, EX.. etc

Midcore + Hardcore are Savage and Ultimates. By mid-core, I mean medium difficulty and time investment. Ultimates are Hardcore mostly because of the time sink required to get them cleared. They are surely more complex, but complexity is not the hard wall of them but rather consistency and mental fortitude.
