Just for clarification. The US version isn’t based on a toned down version of the Japanese Easy Type. The Japanese Easy Type version of the game was based on the US version, which was a toned down version of what they called the Hard Type (the Japanese original).
I think the game wasn’t "hard"; I think other Final Fantasy games were too easy by comparison.
And I’d love to kill the jackass who punked me 10 years ago (via a Japanese FFVI – SNES FFII differences FAQ iirc) into thinking that you could revive Palom and Porom in a side quest before finally going for Zemus in Hardtype (now that my memory’s jogged, I remembered another reason why I actually stopped playing the Japanese FFIV with the English translation patch – when I found out I was punked and could actually do nothing to get Palom and Porom back to the part).

Thats pretty lame dude.
The PSX version is the ‘Hard Type’ I believe, which is why without the proper levels its is quite possible to get annihilated with one hit.
Yeah, I know. I’m over it now.
Thats good. Oh and thanks for not crying and getting pissed off and starting a Complaint thread in general discussion after my wise-ass remark.
It was hard for me in comparison to most other Final Fantasys I’ve played. I would say it was as hard for me as Final Fantasy V.
But they shouldn’t be that difficult for me if I could beat the Resident Evil 2 on Normal (instead of Easy) mode, get A ranks, and unlock Tofu (which I did late last year). I haven’t even gotten back to playing FFIV, V, or haven’t had the time to play video games as much since I’ve been so focuse on college. But I definatly will when I do have time ;). I even got started on the Chrono Trigger with the FFIV and I really like it so far.
