Sadly, Origins doesn't have a hard mode. It's a shame, really.

You're not the only one. I remember when I played FF1 6-7 years ago it was really hard. I recently bought Origins and immediately realized that it was easier. I enjoyed it very much however.

>>> Maybe you are playing early stages in a high level, also in FFO the early stages like the marsh cave are a joke..
just wait until you reach to the ice cave or the final dungeon, the monsters will rip you apart..

Yeah, Ice Cave is certainly a lot harder in FF1 WSC or PSX. The enemies have a lot easier time ambushing you and slaughtering you with Fire3 and Bane attacks before you can even move. The Fiends and Chaos also have double HP, and this makes especially Chaos (4000 HP instead of 2000) really hard to beat with weaker parties, such as 4 White Mages/Wizards.

The Fiends (plus Warmech and Chaos) actually have double HP in Origins, and all enemies are able to use their most powerful attacks at any time, unlike in the NES version, which required them to go through a predetermined list of moves. The lack of "Ineffective" does make things easier, but you can turn it on in the Configuration menu.

Maybe you never equipped weapons and armor when you played back then--you know, assigning them the items but never thinking to make the "E-" appear. It's happened to the best of us.

Whoa man thats exactly what happened to me when I first played. I was about 5 or 6 though. maybe 7. heh.

They saved that sadism for the third Final Fantasy. Tough as nails, it is.

I'm going to go with suck big time, since I feel the same way. Happened with games like Dragon Warrior and Zelda 2 as well.

I'm also on the suck big-time side of the fence here, as I've gone through and beaten a lot of older games I was never able to beat as a young un'.
