@Aadrew07 The degree of difficulty is adjustable. As I mentioned above, there are ways to increase the difficulty. Want to take more damage? Don't upgrade your armor with spheres. Want to do less damage? Use chakra armor, no damage boosting skills, and/or sub-par weapons. Capcom made these options available, people need to realize they can make the game as easy or hard as they want.

@Jonasisaac You can leave Cha Cha in the village. He doesn't have to come on quests with you.
