Probably takes a few tries but it's nowhere near as hard as you make it sound.

My whole point is that even without crafting, no other fight in the game needs "a couple of tries" Which is my whole point.
My point is that this is the hardest part of the game, I feel it's a little early to have the hardest fight in the game.

Its no coincidence that it is my favorite encounter........Maybe he should make the rest of the game harder.

I rather like it. Not because I think the challenge is fair; but because it means the structure of the game is non-linear. I don't like playing a game thinking in the back of my head that I'm going down a railroad or that "I'm supposed to go here first because the game designer made it so." Having some variation makes the world more believable to me.

And you gotta admit, we're kind of already a masochistic bunch to begin with if we chose this game.

I just finished the queen fight with a lvl 3 party of 1k 1c 2w.
It took a few reloads with correct positioning, but it IS doable

Well with reloads almost everything is doable.
I even put it as one of the options ion the first post "reload until you are lucky"
