Normal & Hard mode...so different. (NO spoilers)

Playing CC, love it alot, started my first play through on hard, it is no cake walk, im stuck on a "certain boss", kills me in like 5 hits, fun challenge but man.

SO

I started a new play through on normal and now its just dissappointing, kill every enemy in two hits...

i want your thoughts and opinions...what mode have each of you choosin?

take off all the att plus accesories or materia u have. makes it longer not difficult. im up to when u see ( SPOILERS )

SEPHIROTH BURN down nebile something and the enemiies seem to be gettin stronger. they r getting more health makin battles longer and i actually have to dodge and block.

on hard mode.... if you dont get effective at dodging.... you die in like 3 hits...

im starting to consider restarting the game on normal... Hard mode is more than hard... its rediculous
