It's almost done, with the walkthrough part anyway. Giant of Babil in progress. Edit: I forget to edit my signature, so that's why it seems like it isn't updated often..)

Wow. I started my game last December and I still haven't beat it (according to the game clock, I've played for about 34 hours). I'm in front of the last dungeon at the moment.

Well, you probably have a life, so that's probably the reason. When I got it, I sucked every bit out of it. I have level maxed characters with best equipment (only one Adamant Armor, for Lydia or Porom), all in little over 40 hours. xD

But yeah, the GBA version is a lot easier. I don't know why; most of the enemies have the same stats as the hardtype version. It must be because of the easy way to obtain items in this one. But at least it wasn't completely nerfed like FFI DoS.

I own the PS version, Im near beating it twice, this thread has inspired me to finish the game soon. Mascot Moogle, I thank you.

I bought mine last Friday (for the GBA) and completed it Yesterday.
I'm thinking of playing it again doing all the Sidequests and completing the Extra Dungeon.
Does anyone know any good early game Level Up areas?

I only played the GBA version, which is pretty easy.

I finally finished the GBA version yesterday, though the ending was a bit weird. First, the dialogue was somewhat different than in FF2 SNES and FFIV Japanese Hard Type (fan translation), second, the dialogues during the ending sequences (after the Spoiler: Lunar Whale returns to earth) go way too fast, so I was hardly able to read them all, and third, the Prologue theme cut a bit too early for me.

I think there's two reasons why the GBA version was easier for me than the Hard Type SNES version. I leveled up really much, and I played on the normal battle speed, which makes the enemies a lot slower and easier than on the fastest speed, which I was always using in the SNES version.

The script is actually just most of the Chronicles' script, with more dialogue for the other playable characters. And yes, with the battle and outside dialogue speeds up on the highest, everything goes hella-fast.

Spoiler: "Must cast Meteor!"
"Die Trying"
"The body dies but the spirit lives on"
"I am teh hatred!!!1one ...er, 'we are teh hatred...11!1eleventy"

Yeah.

Going to do the bonus dungeons, Sephiroth?

i don't see what was so easy about the GBA version. i think you're all just better at playing it.

[Zeromus_X]

That's certainly a possibility. Though they did make items more available, at least, it seemed to me. The entire game seemed so, convenient the whole way. And the aforementioned high speed of the game, I can zap through cutscenes relatively fast. The auto-dash feature also increased the speed, whereas you couldn't dash in the original version (ciw).
