Personally, I dont find it harder or easier than the other FFs Ive played, apart from FFXII. That includes FFVII, VIII, X. But you're right, you rarely die.

Maybe try levelling up less. Fleeing from battles, etc.



Btw, how do you get FFIX on PSP?

I didnt know the PSP could do that, but at the moment, Im debating buying a PSP or a DS.
