Hardest or easiest.

I think the easiest at least for me was X and probably the hardest was the first one, I played that one on my PSOne as FF Origins and even on the normal dificulty level it was really hard and the other option I think it was "original" dificulty level which was a nightmare
 
I'd definately say FFIV or V for the hardest, I had so much trouble with those games, I saw the game over screen in IV more time than I care to mention :dry: THough I found it challenging in a fun way, V on the other hand was just unbeliveably frustrating...

It's harder to say which Id class as easiest, if you train enough, you can make most of them pretty easy really, I remember not being able to complete VII or C fiorst time I played them though because I was painfully underlevelled and under equipped :wacky:

But that was my own foolishness really...

I can't decide :gonk: I guess IX was pretty easy... I don't recal having much of an on it....
 
Hmm. I'm trying a replay of the entire series right now. I'm on VIII. And I have to say, the NES titles make everything else look easy. Yeah, even IV and V. Both those games have some pretty tough moments, but if you know what's coming, grind a little and prepare for them, you can take them without too much trouble on the second try. I guess that's about the level of difficulty I like, challenging, but not inducing of Capcom Rage.

The NES games aren't so much difficult as they are unforgiving. I is manageable if you grind constantly (that's pretty much all there is to the game), but the final dungeon is extremely long, and if you're playing the original you couldn't save anywhere inside it, so if you died... you're set back a couple of hours. II isn't so bad, relatively, it stands somewhere near IV in terms of difficulty, only you can't save as often.

III gets my final vote for the hardest. I don't know how the DS version is because I haven't played it, but the original, especially at the end, makes you want to scream. You can't save at all in the last two dungeons, and Dark Cloud is a bitch if you're not very well prepared. So... you'll be replaying those last two dungeons at least once, probably. Plus there are a couple of nightmare inducing dungeons where the enemies split when you hit them.

Easiest? Probably IX, excluding side stuff. I beat that game once without ever level grinding at all. I considered saying VII or X were easiest, but while I could probably beat both of those games without ever dying, I would probably need to level up at least a little to do that, if only to make sure I had certain abilities before certain boss fights.
