I've had this game for well over 2-3 months now and I spent almost 5 hours out 8 hours leveling up for the next boss that instant kills each character off with only a few attacks. Did anyone else think this game was insanely hard?

Oh and I also stopped playing in between leveling so my hours are still low.

I thought it was pretty easy :| I only had to grind a little bit before the last dungeon.

Imo the only hard RPG's on the DS are the Etrian Odysseys and maybe TWEWY on Ultimate.

I found it pretty easy... As said above, a little grinding is necessary before every boss and different strategies too... Which boss you stuck at?

I would agree it's probably one of the hardest final fantasy games... but it's not 'insane'

Well, everything in FF3 was quite easy till the end... the last boss is quite hard, since when you reach him your characters are around 50ish and your classes are just random, dark knight, magus, summoner, etc for example, when its recommended ( in the faqs at least) to be level 60 with 2 healers a ninja, etc.

It's certainly a grindfest, but I don't find it hard.

Then again, I haven't finished it and left it alone for other games.

I forgot his name but hes in some sort of forest and all I know is that hes some sort of undead knight :/ I'll update when I get to him again.

Well Maybe not insanely hard but still hard for me.

All the talk of how hard the new version of FF4 is has kind of turned me off from it. I like a challenge, but I don't find dying and dying and dying and dying fun. TWEWY was a perfect RPG for me.

definitely hard but not insane. do you have a dragoon? if so level it up like crazy cause you get it early in the game and the weapons that the dragoon gets later are awesome! also try getting the best armor for your characters. i beat it on my second try and it was definitely not too hard but more suspenseful as my last character was a dragoon.

One of the hardest please give me a break. Final fantasy 4 and 8 are the most hardest games of the final fantasy series. Final fantasy 3 does not even come close to being that hard. The bosses in ff 4 if you do not level up can kill you in one hit. I totally disagree with the game being one of the hardest.

III is one of the harder Final fantasies, but it isn't insanely difficult (for the most part). there were a few points that were extremely tough for me, but i would just grind a little and devise different strategies and be okay...

It was hard for me, but I could handle it well.

Not really, I just needed a bit of grinding. I don't think you should play IV, it is a good amount harder than III. I have yet to play EO, but I'm going to get it some day.

Evolution,

Don't be turned off by the increased difficulty of FF IV. The PSX version of FF IV was difficult as well at least compared to the SNES version. It's definitely no Izuna. (not really a comparison, but Izuna was ridiculously hard for me at least)

Not the hardest RPG I've ever played.

Basically the key is to level up near an inn for a bit before each dungeon. If a boss kicks your butt, level up some more, maybe try switching classes around.

Later in the game, you're going to want a Dragoon and a Dark Knight. The Dark Knight will seriously come in handy against multiple foes, and can still dish out alot of damage to single targets. Then you'll want two mage classes.

That leads me to another point, a balanced party is two melee, two mages... perferebly a black mage and a white mage. The red mage can count as both melee and magic, however Red Mage gear is limited towards the latter end of the game.

I agree, it can be difficult. However, that can be avoided by long level grinding which is just tedious.

Much harder. FF4 is the same as the japanese original release. FF4 is for the hard core RPG gamer.

I'm in the last Dungeon and I got there without grinding at all! The last level I'm gonna need to grind, because Dark Cloud is tough as nails, but aside from that the game was pretty much a cake-walk.
