Yeah one of the big criticisms I hear about the game is that it is too easy. Given we can alter the PC version totally in this respect that is what I am doing So that the game can become challenging. For example, I gave Sepher (safer) Sephiroth more HP and made his Supernova attack an instant game over (steals all party hp and mp so no final attack can be used).

It is pretty cool what people can achieve, like people run through FF9 on level 1. (although there was a degree of deliberateness about this, as getting the Exalibur II sword is the ultimate challenge).
