Unless you are way overleveled obviously... Its easy until you have to go back to baron to get Cid's airship... After that the bosses are simply insane...

I thought something was wrong with my game so I went to check some videos of FF IV advance on youtube and bosses are SOO SLOW there... If you have the GBA version you have NO IDEA how hard the original (hardtype) game is... Bosses are SUPERFAST and always get 2-3 turns between EVERY CHARACTER... you can just barely keep up with the healing

Im playing using an emulator (thank god, because I cant imagine having to load from save points) and at that boss with the regenerating arms (Baigan) its just insane... every arm hits up to 400 damage (Cecil having the highest HP at 800.. imagine the slaughter) I was about to throw my keyboard out of the window after the 30th try.. God bless the save states LOL

The worse is, after this one boss, every single enemy in the game becomes super fast and does insane damage to characters in the front row.. a typical group of 4 monsters WILL get about 8 attacks before your whole party can act, by which time someone will probably be dead already..

Just wanted to "vent" my frustration :P am I the only one here or is this really the hardest FF by far?

I never thought FFIV was hard until I got to the end.

Yeah...the final boss is usually tough but beatable the first time. I had so much trouble with this one; everyone's HP was being constantly drained and Rosa couldn't keep up.

It doesn't help that a save crystal is ages away from the final boss...

It builds charachter!

I had an easy run with it, usually killing the bosses in one go, except for zeromus the first time. I tehn leveled for another 10 levels, went back, kicked his sorry ass.

Although, I did rush the Giant of Babel a little ><

Ya know I completely agree, I actually thought from the point you said onwards that the game was actually real hard and I usually only beat bosses by luck of just getting in all Tellah's powerful spells.

Possibly the most difficult FF I've played.

I didn't really find FF IV to be so difficult. The only difficult parts of the game was the Odin fight and the final battle

Try beating it without fighting random encounters.

Evil Wall wiped the floor with my party's sorry asses so many times... T_T
