Difficulty tougher ?

[terderrer]

Ive been playing thru for a good 5 hours, and the game feels alot harder then when i played gba version. Has it always been this tough? its been awhile since i played the gba version but it felt way easier compared to this.

on another note, hp feels like its lower then usual, while gil gained as well as prices for items seem way higher

There's no difficulty difference between these versions.

There is a definite difference compared to the PS1 version, at least. It seems much easier to make money, but HP drops a lot faster, in the earlier parts of the game, at least.

The only difference between this and PSX version in terms of difficulty is that both monsters and you can evade making some monsters that were previously cake walk a lot harder. That and you can't vanish+doom for easy boss kills.

And Cyan's sword arts are better here.

If it feels tougher it is likely because you aren't wandering as much and so are not getting into as many random encounters.

The game was tuned so that you can play it straight through from beginning to end with no extra leveling, which means any extra wandering around will make the game easier.

really? i feel like i was exploring it as much as i did in the gba version, possiblt a bit more.

Eh i just got the espers so maybe things will feel "normal" once i grind for skills a bit
