My 2 cents: Games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 7 and Grandia all suffer from the "Interactive Storybook Syndrome" which is basically a difficulty so sparse that you may as well be reading a book or watching a film.

They do not tantalise your mind or invoke any form of strategic thinking when all you have to do to win is spam the attack button. In an RPG, the rest is important, no doubt and i have been brought up on these games and loved them to bits.

At age 26 though, I cannot play these shallow things without some sort of difficulty mod to balance the games and take full advantage of the systems they have in them but ultimately squander due to easiness.

FF7 Hard Type is something i have enjoyed to a large degree and has really brought a new appreciation to the game. The same goes for Grandia ReDux, which is simply a must play for anyone on this board.

I am going to see about a Chrono Trigger mod, which would again benefit greatly from this treatment. I will post my findings on this page soon. It could be just the thing you need to begin enjoying the game, though as i've not yet sampled it's delights, I couldnt tell you.

Watch this space!

Well, speaking as someone who frequents this board regularly, I see a lot of threads like yours here and each time, the same old tired stuff gets recycled over and that can get very frustrating.

Also no offense, but if that one poster riled you up to the point of such apoplexy just for telling you off, then you're quite the sensitive preening little princess.

Just saiyan, i think you'd be happier on gamefaqs like was mentioned. Not being insulting here, just seems to suit your needs emotionally and academically much more.

(on that note i never get why people hate gamefaqs so much anyway, personally i find the boards quite pleasurable to speak in)
