Do you consider this game hard?

[Electroshock Therapy]

I . . . played FFV after Tactics and found it a pretty easy game. I don't remember getting stuck on any bosses, barring Omega and Shinryu for obvious reasons, and my friend who played through it afterwards didn't have problems until he, somehow, ran out of money to throw at things in the final area. I agree with the people who have said it so far: the three NES games are harder. Well, one and three are anyway, two really just depends on your patience for punching yourself in the face for hours on end. :/

Also, regarding the Atmos fight, can't you Kiss of Blessing him? <.<

I'm currently playing through FFII again. Nowhere in the game is this necessary. Just strategy, mixing magic and weapons. Well, that and don't sell your weapons that inflict status ailments. They really do make the toughest enemies easier, even all the way to end game. For instance, I always keep the Ancient Sword. It's a great weapon against Gigas enemies or anything with a high defense. I've played this a couple time, and I'm going through it again. Mainly the grinding I've done is for Gil and maybe for some extra MP. Leveling up weapons and spells is pretty minimal, too. Sorry mods for going off topic like this. I like to respond whenever I see people think they need to beat themselves up to win the game. I just want to people to realize FF II can be fun!

Back to FF V. I do remember I had a terrible time trying to beat Ex-Death at the end. I even did level grinding throughout the game, and I though I was careful enough to exploit various job skills for my party. Nope. In the end, I had to go online and find strategies. I ended up using that one chemical mix that skips the second form entirely. Next time, I will beat it the proper way!
