"You Will Die" Difficulty... Can I Have It?

[IndigoDarkwolf]

Van Darnus was supposed to rip off your head and shit down your throat he had the power of bahamut at his disposal, you'd ruin his intire plot becuase one persons to dame dumb to listen and adapt based on situations.

Maybe my assumption is wrong: that if 2.0 were to have a fight like Van Darnus, the fight's easy mode would already be on par with Van Darnus Easy from 1.0, which you say you helped people with because it was a decent challenge. So the slider would let you make the fight harder than that, with appropriately scaled rewards.

Did I miss the part where S|E said they were planning to scale down the base difficulty level? The rumor-mongering I've heard suggests exactly the opposite.
