This review quote has me worried:

Granblue Fantasy Relink is the greatest game I don’t want to play. Its stellar combat, great AI, interesting world, and epic quests forge the experience to a sharp point, but the lack of any meaningful challenge severely dulls its edge.

Does the challenge start only after you finish the story? and didn't this game have difficulty presets anyway.

[Kyota]

Did anyone ever believe this game to have serious difficulty?

This is just like GBVR's RPG mode. There's no difficulty to speak of, after gearing up, you one-tap everything.

From what I saw on Twitch, the story mode does seem rather easy, even on harder difficulty. I'm not sure about the endgame quests, I imagine these fights are pretty difficult as the max level for player characters is 100 while some bosses go way past 120.

There is also a teaser from Cygames stream about 1.1 update in March, where level 100 player party is down from a single hit in level 200 boss fight.

I would say the quests become really challenging on the lvl 100 quests onwards. The biggest problem is they made the AI very good, that's why it seems like the game is easy. If the AI was nerfed then the intial quests would become a challenge as well

[Core]

Tbh you can never win with those people. Having good AI is a blessing. Imagine ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AI like Fatal Bullet or Trinity Trigger.....

[RoadDog]

sry but if i read IGN.... IGN is the worst of all to listen. they are noobs. and nobody should listen to IGN. clearly !

dam that sounds nice hopefully if they will listen to feedback and adjust difficulty if needed

Not every game needs to be dark souls.

The best I've found so far about PC performance:

"On an RTX 4070 at the highest settings in 1440p, the game reached 120 fps with no noticeable drops even in intense combat segments. There’s no DLSS or upscaling of any kind and graphics options are very limited, so you will need some power in your rig to run the game properly.

On Steam Deck, the game would struggle to reach 60 in any scenario, so I capped that at 30 and cranked the graphics to Ultra as that seemed to make no difference in performance or battery life. The device will still get pretty hot and only last about an hour, but it’s a great option to do a few quests when you’re away from the PC." - https://gamerant.com/granblue-fantasy-relink-review/
