Current Events > Is Final Fantasy VI supposed to be easy?

(+) Yeah! (+)

All FFs are easy

made me tear up a bit

The first five are generally considered the harder FF games. VI is when they became a lot easier.

FF6 in particular is much easier than the ones that came before it.

Use T-Edition mod to improve the difficulty.

I found 6 to be one of the harder one tbh

Also is it me or are there a lot of enemies who attack you upon death?

Level 20 seems overlevelled for that point of the game. I think I was around level 12 there. That new Switch version lets you boost xp gains, you might have been using that?

6 is "easy" once you know its tricks and its overpowered characters (Edgar for instance is overpowered as heck for most of the first half of the game if you know to always use his tools). It was my first RPG though and I didn't find it particularly easy as a kid.

Wait, really? Then why have I been getting higher level characters? Gau was lvl 21 when I recruited him.

If you are playing the pixel remaster you should be able to decrease the amount of exp earned

It's really easy to break, but even if you don't break it, there aren't that many enemies that actually try to meaningfully trip you up.

This isn't like an SMT or an Etrian Odyssey. I don't think any FFs ever reached that level of interesting complexity or difficulty though.

All FFs are easy

Also, Cyan's tragedy made me tear up a bit.

I wish there were other ways to make it harder. It has multiple ways to make it easier but making it harder only has 1 feature I think. The .05 experience option

How about increased damage from enemies or more health to them? And lower health for your party. Make stores cost more. Stuff like that

Final Fantasy III can be pretty hard, tbh

So I just found out that I am DEFINITELY overleveled. Apparently being lvl 20 is really high for the first time at the Veldt. <_< oops

Yeah, Cyan has one of the best personal storylines in 6, if not THE best.

It's really too bad that he's completely overshadowed in combat by Sabin and there's really no practical reason to put him on the team. :(

Freaking cheater

Leveling up on the raft is a terrible idea because you lose esper bonuses.

Unless you play with T Edition that removes the esper bonuses.

I don't know anything about espers yet. Does it really matter in the long run?

Uhh.... I guess not because the game is so easy.

Besides making a mistake at a Story portion of the game, Shadow only leaves the party temporarily.

As in he comes back later anyway.

All FFs are easy

He actually can permanently die

It's a VERY large increase to your damage, for magic at least. Like the difference between a level 30 Terra with her base magic and with 15 +2 magic levelups is going to be around 60-80% more spell damage. (The basic calculation for the scaling portion of magic damage is (Level * Magic Power * Spell Power / 32)). The scaling on Vigor is absolutely shit at normally achievably levels, though and can basically be ignored: ((Level * Level * Attack) / 256) * 3 / 2, where Attack goes up by 2 for every point of Vigor. A point of Vigor is worth about 1 more damage at level 10, about 4 damage at level 20, scaling with level^2.

Almost all the good attacks in FFVI are magic btw, including most Blitzes. Earrings on Sabin are immensely powerful early.

how did I cheat? All I did was level up lol. Granted, I wasn't realizing that I leveled too much. I just ended up circling on the raft until I reached level 20 on everyone but Sabin and Locke(who I had to level up afterwards lol)
