so what's the most challenging you've ever played in the main series? mine I'm gonna say it's FF5. and then 8.
 
Yeas, I remember that damn mammoth in V, took me a couple of tries to beat him. It took me by quite a surprise to find an early boss to be so difficult.

Still, I found IV to be even more difficult, I remember actually having to give up on my first playthrough and starting again, got caught going back into Baron whilst woefully under-levelled.

Out of the ones I've played I'd nominate those two.
Out of the newer ones I'd say XII is probably the most difficult.
 
Old titles: 1, 2 - With 1, things were very costly, and enemies could really hurt you. Same with 2, but in 2, if you walked into the wrong area, you'd be up against some real nasties. That, and the battle system could be awkward.

Newer titles: XII - some of the hunts and rare game could be a nightmare, if you're not careful while playing.
 
the mammoth boss only killed me once but i just got some monks and knights and then had no trouble
 
FFV was pretty hard in a few areas I thought, but also FFXII kicked my butt at certain spots as well. I think since FFV was my first Old School FF to play, it was quite challenging to adapt to it's style of gaming and decide the best ways to level up and choose abilities for characters.

So FFV gets my vote, then FFXII.
 
FFII i found that game a real struggle! the monsters would be easy in one area then impossible in the next.

FFV was also difficult in parts. I always got killed by the boss in the cave- the one where u get the admantine from. i stopped playing FFV for like a year cuz i couldnt beat him.
But overall i think FFII was the hardest
 
The most challenging is currently XII with all of these monster hunts. =[

FFVII was also hard for me the first time I ever played it...since it was my first FF game. ^__^
 
I voted FFV for the old ones bcoz the dungeons have unique challenges. I find the ability system entertaining for an early game. and of course who wouldn't miss Omega and Shinryu? lol even in FFI DOS they're unforgettable.
 
I found most the series easy. The only games I found a little hard was FF2 and FF4. The hardest is FFXII. Some of the bosses were hard.
 
FFVI for me.
But that's just because I wasn't used to everything.

Other than that, VII, it's my favorite because of the sheer amount of challenge.
 
I havent found any from VII on-wards to be hard. I had to start Tactics for the PS1 again because I didnt build my characters up much, so I'll go for that.
 
this is realllly hard to say because it all depends on how much you train your characters. id have to say 8 was the hardest for me the first time i played it because i leveled up a lot and didnt junction well so the monsters were strong and i wasnt, therefore a lot of dying for me.

oh wow good idea, tactics was a bitch. that game was a lot of luck for me i cant believe i got as far as i did. i think im gonna give that game another try next, cause i couldn't beat it cause i sucked at it last time i played.

but VIII still wins, tactics in a close second.
