Did you find FF1 hard?

I played the game on NES, and it is indeed very, very hard. I think it took me two hours of grinding just to make it through the first dungeon. Item management is crucial, as is spell charge management. I did however spend loads of time grinding on the power peninsula, and later in the ice cave (great grind spot) so late game went fairly smoothly. Fantastic game.
 
Depends on what version you play really, both are hard but the NES version is far harder from what I'm aware, personally, I didn't find FFI that hard on the PSP as compared to the NES version, prices are such like aren't as high. I'd still say FFI was hard mind, dungeons and bosses are probably the worst, partciularly the dungeons >.>
 
Considering i've only played the PSP version, i'd say FF1 is more a pain in the arse than hard. For a large majority of the game, your prime concern is more the random encounters than the actual bosses, especially since temper and haste on a knight will destroy all but the strongest bosses. Heck, I never even suffered casualties until Tiamat and I was only training enough so I could get through the encounters, nothing major. The thing that bugged me even more was status effects, especially stone and oters which counts as a KO. Since I wanted to keep my party at an equal level up set.The hardest dungeon was probably the ice cave, followed by Chaos Shrine (past) though that's more for the insane encounter rate.

As far as items are concerned, only a few items were worth grinding money over, such at flare/full life, knight's armour and some other spells, and it didn't usually take too long later on. Just a shame mystic key weapons and such quickly became obsolete :jtc:
