I actually haven't played this one since it was released as II on the SNES, although I do own the PSX version of it. I believe I read somewhere that the version that was released here in the US on the Super Nintendo was FF4 Easytype and that the Playstation version is the regular difficulty. I've heard a lot of people complain about how hard this Chronicles version of this game is. Is there any particular area that you're getting killed in, or do you just managed to get overwhelmed by random encounters every so often? Yeah, I run a lot, in most all of the FF games
