Learning Curve

[Fodder007]

First things first, hello, I'm new to the FF forums and new to the FF series. I'm into RPG games and have played them for years but always somehow missed out on Final Fantasy, until now.

I'm about 2 hours in and am near the start of Chapter 2, probably taken longer than it should due to looking at everything and reading all the codex. What I'm finding is that it's just walk>fight>walk>fight. Now that wouldn't be too much of a problem but the battles appear to be just spamming the x button and then it ends. I beat every fight in half the target time and get 5 stars every time. I try using the abilities rather than the auto-battle but at the moment there isn't much difference because the number of available moves is limited.

So I want to know about the learning curve, is it really easy just because I'm near to the start of the game? How quickly does it start to get at least mildly challenging? I usually play games on Hard difficulty and this appears to be on Easy, there isn't a difficulty setting I'm missing is there?

Really like the game btw, graphics are amazing and the story is starting to take shape. Really looking forward to getting in to the series and spending much time with it.

Thx

First off, welcome to the forums!

I found that it started to get harder near the end of Chapter 4. It was fairly easy at the start and I'm only at the end of chapter 4 at the moment and I'm finding it a bit more challenging personally.

So you don't have that long to wait for it to get much harder. >.<

Thanks for the comments, glad it gets harder. I'll stick with it either way but I just like to be challenged by a game rather than feel like I'm just clicking my way through a story.

This is not a good game to get started off on the Final Fantasy game's sorry to disappoint you and I know that others will disagree! Thing is I do love this game really I do it just isn't a proper Final Fantasy Start lower down!!

VII Rule's (People will slate that lol!) but still VI VII VIII and maybe even IX are better than this, this is just Square showing off about their abilities with new consoles!!!
