Games that Kick Your Ass

[Depression Moon]

I guess I'm the only one here that has trouble with FFXII and Crono Trigger.

XII has its moments, especially if you are consistent with the Mark Hunts and don't grind to god-hood. The game is actually quite challenging not to mention alot of the optional bosses are smurfing cheap...*cough*Zodiark*cough*

Though Chrono Trigger surprises me... Where did you have difficulty?

The boss inside of Lavos. As soon as I walk into that fight it's game over and when i try to level up by going into the Black Omen it's another game over, not as fast though. With XII it's the Penumbra that gets me. I can grind all my characters up three levels and cast every single enhancement on them, but all those bull frogs, and horses still ends up killing everyone and sometimes I can't run back up and heal myself because the monsters like to block the elevator.

I fully understand about the Prenumbra, though its an optional dungeon so it isn't too surprising.

As for CT, you might just need a dedicated healer like Robo or Marle. Frog has healing magic but its a bit weaker than theirs. A Crono/Lucca/Robo party should have a fair chance through the Black Omen, just make sure to have plenty of items to restore MP. Once you get Crono and one of the healers a few more levels, it will be easier to bring in other characters but I'm assuming this is a first playthrough so make sure to only level characters you actually use.

Hmm I'm not sure if your advice could help me on the Lavos boss inside of the shell, because when I said that as soon as the battle begins I get a game over, I'm serious!http://ui30.gamespot.com/1277/chronot3_2.jpg He does one attack that kills everybody before I can even react. It's my first playthrough and because of that frustration it sort of turned me off from the game.
