FFV harder than FFVI

Does anyone agree that FFV is harder than FFVI?

It all depends. I think FFV's final boss (Neo Ex-Death) battle was harder than FFVI's (Kefka's 4 forms), but overall, not much difference. I got stuck one one incredibly hard boss in each of the games, but the rest of the game was a breeze it seemed. Otherwise, not much difference.

FFVI was much harder than FFV. For me anyway.

FFV was hard becuase when I first played it, I didn't know what jobs to take where.

In FFVI there were no jobs so it was easier to know what to take.

to me, i would have to say that FFV is harder then VI. first of all, some of the monsters i have fought lately (just past the moogle forrest after exdeath burned the forrest) have been tough (espically since i mostly ran for a majority of the game except fighting boss battles). the second reason is the job system. you usually get very low amounts of ability points after wach battle.

I would say V is harder. VI has it's moments, but the second half of the game seems really easy. I like VI better as a game though.

Yes, I think FF5 is harder. By a long way. I don't know if it's just because I liked FF6 better and cared more about being good at it, but I played them at the same time (I played the Anthology editions) so I just think FF5 was harder. There was a fire boss pretty early on the game (some time before the fire crystal, I think) that just destroyed me over and over again. The Liquid Flame. That thing killed me.

I was stuck on the Liquid Flame for ages. Then i discovered the usefulness of a Mystic Knight with Blizzara Blade.

Speaking of which, i retract my previous statement. Reflecting on things, none of the bosses of VI gave me the trouble that the bosses of V did. The only boss i had trouble with on VI was Ultros (the first time you fight him T_T). The following bosses of V gave me so much trouble i wanted to throw the game under a bus:

Liquid Flame
Archeoavis
The 6 bombs (damn their reraise spell)
The 4 'crystals'
The two bosses at the top of fork tower (the one that cast return every time he was hit was a bastard)
The guardian of the wind temple (the one with 3 images of himself)
Omega
Shinryu
And of course, Neo ExDeath

So yes, V was much harder than VI.

I'd agree. 5 was harder than 6.

After FF2 the games seemed to get progressively easier imo.

Yeah, I was able to max my stats fairly early in the WoR in FFVI.
