How does Lupicus help your argument? He can and has been defeated in 30 seconds. Very easy fight. Most of the end game dungeons aren't hard at all.
No content is hard once you figured out the way to do it. That's the point of mastering something. The important thing is how interesting can a developer make the process of discovering the right solution.
While that may be true, GW2 is the only game where the crowning achievement for difficulty in the game can be defeated in 30 seconds. For instance lets take any WoW raid in current tier. No matter how many times you run the raid, or what your gear is like, you will not defeat any boss in 30 seconds. This means more time for people to make individual mistakes which leads to wipes. Between skipping everything in an instance besides bosses and then defeating bosses in a matter of seconds...there just really isn't much in the way of difficulty in the game at all
Have faith in the Japanese. Some of the most challenging games I have played have been made by Japanese developers. Not so much in terms of reaction and coordination as it is more a tactical and strategic challenge.
Earlier ff games had lots of challanging boss fights, they all had a certain stratagy to them, once you figured out the stratagy then it went smoothly. Hope ffxiv arr carries that tradition.
