Okay, let me rephrase that then.Its labeled a harder area, not start.
It's a harder area because it gives you far less opportunities to raise your stats, meaning you leave it with less statpoints than you'd have if you picked the Easy route (Hookton), has a timer where things get progressively worse the longer you take clearing it, and also gives no way to earn additional money or buy supplies. The reason i called it a harder start is because all those things indeed mean you end up on the islands with less stats and less money.
The upside is your mom (and maybe Marie) are doing way better than they'd be heading through Hookton and (arguably) the forces on the continent would be doing way better by virtue of you having saved them should the game ever get to that point.
