What difficulty are you guys playing on?

I didn't know harder difficulties give more points. I am playing on normal mode atm since that seems to be what the developer believes the power level of the party should be like according to the story, and wasting time on spongy monsters seems unfun to me. I have beat harder games than this already so just relaxing is good too.

Started on Hard but shamefully dropped to Moderate when I saw how hard the bosses were getting. Moderate feels just right to me.
It's ok I'll do a fresh NG on whatever the highest unlockable difficulty is later.

Lol, there really isn't any shame in enjoying a game to be fair. I have beat Sekiro, Dark Soul 3, Nioh 2. The difficulty curve in this game just makes monsters have more HP and do more damage which seems lazy to me and kinda pointless. I don't see any changes in monster behavior.

Running through Hard mode. Kind of stubborn to go lower if I get stuck lol

[Blaise]

Did hard mode, and about to start fresh on Chaos mode.

I'm playing on "Go cry to ya momma ya wimp" mode.

Hard atm, will likely keep it there

Hard currently got through 3 bosses. Scaling of difficulty feels flat as it is just flat hp increase and amount of dmg they do. Real challenge was just at start til you unlock boost mechanics and flame sword skill etc. Boss fights are boring as fk but easy if you just play slow.

Hard.

I made the mistake of starting on Normal, but you don't earn much of any SP doing that. It takes forever to make any game progress.

i started to play on Normal to learn the combat system a bit (it is my first Tales of game and i don't know the combat of the other ones). when i will play next time i will switch it to Moderate

Monster variety is relatively low anyway, a ton of reskinned enemies.

Moderate for now. I always do the first playthrough on Moderate (or whatever each game calls it). I like to take it easy the first time through but still want a challenge every once in a while. Moderate's pretty good for that usually, and Arise does it well. Normal enemies aren't super difficult but they're not pushovers either and bosses are still brutal usually.

Moderate is a good balance..it makes u think of a good time to strike the boss..sort of soul but not quite..unlike hard which make it more challenging

[RubberCentury]

Moderate, Its a good balance although I will say Dodging SUCKS the delay is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane.

Dodge doesn't have a delay, most of your attacks have animation locking.

Hard. Every boss fight is usually taking 1-2 life bottles for me. Just got done with the 3rd area.
