/vr/ - Retro Games

I know I'm almost definitely exposing myself as an absolute scrub, but fuck me why is the start of this game so hard?

I'm only about 60-90 minutes in, and I just got through that waterfall cave, fighting Octoman (spelling) and I barely got through it.

Rydia is dead at the moment, and I don't think I've even see a Phoenix Down or equiv so far. To revive her I'd need to go back through the dungeon and hit the town, which seems WELL FAR away to go on a 2 person party, not to mention the mage is almost always out of MP.

Do I need to just bite the bullet, go back to town, visit an Inn and do some good old fashioned grinding? Back when I was a kid, I remember RPG's being hard, but maybe I've grown soft from playing modern stuff? If anyone has any advice for FF4, I'd love to hear it lads
