Is God Eater 3 too easy and too simple?

[Bloody Nine]

I played GE:Burst for a long time way back and I remember how difficult the bosses were. You have to hit them at certain body parts and have to use elemental weaknesses to be more efficient at hunting them. If you let them run away and eat, they recover enough to extend the combat and make things more difficult. Also almost every story mission unlocks a good number of optional missions where you hunt several types of bosses. It became easier towards the end but I felt like I have earned it because I grinded hard to get the strong equipments.

Here in GE3 the bosses die too quickly even with basic gear. I don't even dodge anymore because AI behaviour seems off. They just seem to do random aoe attacks without any intent to kill the player, and when they hit you it is too weak anyway. When they run away, it is because they are one hit away from death, so if you standby and let them finish eating some of those oracle cells they still die within 4-5 hits. Again I am only using basic unupgraded gears.
There are barely any optional missions available so you have to play the story missions all the time. It seems a waste to have weaker enemies when you can now do cool and powerful moves. You can even put skills on your companions to make them stronger, but what is the point?

I've read that the game becomes more difficult when you encounter Ash Aragamis, but I have discovered that isn't the case either. If this game becomes harder can anyone say the specific part of the story where it becomes so?

It becames hard around certification mission 35~
Story is simple and easy, there isn't anything that requires to grind. Optional missions unlock after you complete story.

The only hard thing about GEB were the broken hitboxes. It doesn't matter if the monsters here die too quickly because the same applies to you and even the basic Kongou is twice as fast as the other games.

Oh thanks for answering the question. So God Eater just isn't what it used to be.

Not really, Kongous in GE:B did not die with 1-hit while feeding on oracle cells while using basic gear. I just broke a boss' body part in GE3 with one bite and 1-hit with Apocalypse Axe.
Also in GE3 you don't really need to actively dodge most of the attacks, the bosses auto misses you anyway, and when it hits it's too weak you don't need to heal. It's just my opinion though, sorry if I didn't liked GE3.

I assume it's your first GE game? Then you can tell me when the difficulty spikes in your opinion.

Unless they changed something somewhere, that's 100% false, every mission can be done in mere seconds. Ash aragamis are the same.

The hardest boss back then was the first squad enemy, not sure what thing is called but it's the blue thing and I think it's an ash aragami indeed. Not because it's hard but because you are with 7 ai and the mission has a time limit of 2 minutes, and you are super undergeared when you unlock it. (haven't played since they added new stuff into the game via free dlc)

EDIT: Once you master your favorite burst arte or whatever it's called, you can just spam that over and over rinse repeat.

Part that Crimson orochi never make to be in this game. If they did support the game for a time now. I think other stuff might change since it was the final version of the game and they just make it so ppl can access the game with only solo play.

Anyway, crimson ash land is the last one which feature time missions and stuff. Because they don’t have difficulty spike rather than set a difficulty for missions. If you want the hardest mission in the game, try solo pixie commander from optional mission, good flex your Ge skills to use
