What is the most difficult Final Fantasy?

[Eva]

Har har har.

Title should make it obvious. Which Final Fantasy had you throwing your controller down, screaming at the screen, cursing each member in your party while your parents stare at you like you had ten heads? And of course, what made it so difficult for you?

Final Fantasy Tactics

Had to be Final Fantasy 12. Every time I do a mission against some white flan monster it always kill me. Even when I level up my character high enough. Seriously what is that white flan thing made of.

The remake of FFIII for the DS wasn't exactly difficult, so much as tedious. It seemed that every five steps triggered a random battle, and it would take an eternity to finally reach the appropriate level for a boss.

These two facts together were what made dungeons so irritating, since I would run into about a thousand enemies on my way to the boss; by that time, my items and magic would be depleted enough that I couldn't defeat the boss, which that little bit of magic would have allowed me to do.

hmph... you amaze me John... I beat the White Flan thing in FF12 at around level 35 or 40 or something like that...

FFXII was easy rofl.

As I've only played from FFVII onwards, I think I'm going to have to say FFX, if only for the super bosses. The rest of the games were pretty simple, nya.

IKR? But the big mark Battles like Gilgamesh the second time were a good challenge... also some of the esper battles too

Ehhh, Hell Wyrm and that other thing were just tedious to kill simply because they took so long, not because it was hard. Gilgamesh was only hard if you were at such a level that all his status ailments affected you. x3;

Final Fantasy Tactics

We must have not been playing the same game. >>;

I can't really decide which one's the hardest. It can't be FFT or FFVII, as I've played challenges and dominaetd those games. FFVIII was incredibly easy to manipulate the combat system. FFIX was fun and challenging more than it was hard. FFX was waaaay easy. FFXII and onward I haven't finished, but FFXII was pretty easy and simple with the gambit system.

Dunno. Maybe FFV? I haven't played that in ages, though.

 

[Shaydie Shiikuu]

FFX was waaaay easy.

What, you beat the Dark Aeons and Penance?

 

[Kazuma]

Final Fantasy Tactics

Those damn ninja,and black chocobos.

 

[The Dead Skin]

Final Fantasy Tactics

Yeah. The Chocobos and Skeletons make it very difficult.

 

[Ophan]

it really depends. Not everyone has the international version, but i might just boot it up on my PS2 emulator

 

[Wehrmacht]

Tactics can be fairly difficult (see: fucking Belias), but at the same time it's not if you know how the game works.

You can just grind your party's asses whenever you're having trouble, since story fight enemies don't level up with you. Plus there's the fact that the EXP needed to reach a new level is ALWAYS 100, ie it doesn't increase as you advance levels like most RPG's. Once you make a character learn accumulate/focus they can pretty much level up doing nothing.

Eh, even the super bosses in the Calm Lands were tough enough. Did the non-international version not have the Dark Aeons, too, or was it just Penance?

 

[Wehrmacht]

Dark Aeons are International version only IIRC.

Ah, I see. Well, the Calm Lands bosses, then. ;3

I think that the 100 EXP requirement for each level works really well for any sort of Tactics game, actually. There are formulas to keep you from grinding on lower level enemies for the same EXP and conversely give you additional EXP for killing higher level ones. It keeps things simple, sweet, and predictable.

True but common enemy's will level up with you so grinding isn't that much more helpful.

oh also once you/if you bother to get a calculator/arithmetic you pretty much destroy everything
