Hardest Final Fantasy Game?

[Llanowar]

Oh come on the only way Tactics is difficult is if you do not have a strategic enuf mind and you do not make use of certain AI's Amusing tendencies. i.e. The Chemist in the opening scenario has unlimited potions so I got 3 squires to master their class be4 the end of a single fight. FFII.....the TRUE FFII I find very difficult. The way they force you to take damage in order to EVER increase HP and to use a lot of MP to gain more MP is So much more difficult than simply sitting around gaining XP and leveling in order to gain stats.

It depends on how you approach the games, if you spend time leveling every now and again, you could get through a game with little trouble, this is generally how I go through the games. Im going to go with FFI though, as I did get into spots of difficulty even if I leveling before hand.

IX was hardest for me but just cause i could never play it for more than 10 minutes at a time.(i still havent been able to get into it enough to get past gizamaluke.)

What was the hardest Final Fantasy game?
I think it's Final Fantasy II.

I second

For me, II was definitly the hardest. On top of requiring a ton of stat leveling, it rarely, if ever, holds your hand throughout the game. You have to figure out a lot of things for yourself which can sometimes be a pain.

But most of the FF games I've found "hard" are mainly because of the game mechanics. For example, even after playing FFVIII 3 or 4 times from the beginning I still can't figure out how the junction system works. I could never get into the original FF either simply because of some of the design flaws (e.g. missing attacks if the monster you targeted is dead). I can tolerate the remakes though which fix most of the design problems.

But the FF I find the most challenging based on actual... um... challenge... would be FFV. I swear, there were areas in that game where I thought it was completely hopeless and I would never beat the game, but through a lot of perseverance I conquered the game and got a great amount of satisfaction in doing so.

III was really the only one that was tough, because it doesn't have a quick leveling up trick. Every other game does, and because of that, they lose difficulty. Especially FFII XD (That's why I laugh when people think that FFII is difficult )

Even then, FFIII is only really hard if you're unprepared, then it would look very difficult.

And of course, all the FFs VI on up to X are easy. Probably why they added in optional stuff in the later ones.

So I'll vote FFIII. It was more "normal" to me than hard, but It could get difficult at times.

I said ff8, it was my first ff andit was hard the easiest ones were I and VII for me

[MikeL Valentine]

For me ff7

[auronova]

I haven't played any ff games dwn from 7 so i can't really say but i found the sphere grid in FFX pretty strange after playing 7 through to 9

Final Fantay X is hard
I can't even kill Sin

[Morridor]

I'd say Final Fantasy I. When I was younger (granted being young will do this), I couldn't even get past the first fight with Garland. I wouldn't level like I was supposed to and would just go after him. After losing a LOT of HP on the way to Garland, Garland would just completely kill me. Other Final Fantasy games really don't make you level at the very beginning.
