actually, honestly I dont think ANY of them were hard
Same here. Hard type has much more plot into it, (if you're talking about the easy type being the FF2 American Release in the early 90s). Plus, mis-translations were fixed in it and what-not. The game itself is over-all great and is a must to be played, but I would go with the hard type. All that's really different is that you should be about 5-6 levels higher than you were in the easy type. That is if you want to smoke through the game. I beat it with my part in the very early 60' (no one above 61). Take your pick.
