EDIT: Doh, forgot to check for typos in the subject header. Dam sticky 'l' key.

Mt FF1 experience consists of the following:
Melmont in Original
Beaten Origins
Beaten DoS

Now, its obvious that DoS is MUCH easier due to the greatly increased leveling curve. However, I noticed the Chaos seemed to have an insanely larger HP pool in this version.

Origins I though was equal to Original in difficulty, but I was just perusing the FF1 section (which is excellent I might add) and I noticed Chaos is listed as 2000hp. When I defeated him in Origins I decidedly remember him having far more than 2k HP, which makes me wonder if the difficulty has in fact been changed.

I sure hope Origins isn't easier, because that means I have to beat it on the original, and that’s far more of a pain to play (far cooler, but much more of a pain).
