If you have to go out of your way to "challenge" yourself, the game is a complete joke and designed HORRIBLY, sorry. Forcing the game to be harder does nothing, mr. herp derp over here can go 1 shot mobs, level faster than me, and also gain more gil than me while I'm trying to make the game "harder". No point sorry, game should automatically be hard by default. This isn't a single player game where we need a "extremely easy" game setting for 2 year olds, and a "hard" game setting for real players, this is a game where the default setting should be "hard".
