Okay people, let me explain the whole problem with RPG difficulty.

It's not that the games are getting easier, far from it.

We, as players, are getting better.

I remember playing a games like FF IV and VI, my first RPG's. Back then they offered me a challenge.

If I were to go back now, I could beat them far easier. I've even went back to play old SNES Rpg's that I missed out on, and beat them with ease. Later in life I notice that RPG's aren't so hard anymore.

However people who are starting off in this Genre seem to find these games I find easy hard. Why is that? Because they don't have the same gaming experience I and others possess.

A person who plays many different shooters picks up a new one and finds it easy? Is this a fault of developers? Hardly, since it's hard to challenge someone who has that much experience at that type of game.

Play so many different RPG's your looking at the same thing. Only when an RPG changes various fundamentals from what your use to will the game be challenging again.

Note, there are exceptions to this, but I seem to notice this has more to do with it then anything.


While I do like a challanging game, as long as it's still fun to play, regardless of how easy, I rather enjoy myself.
