Tedious? What you talking about? According to TC, the Auto Battle does it all for you.

Seriously, though, yeah, that fight was awful.

Glad to read you played as far as the tutorial boss.

And when you thought FF13-2 couldn't go any lower..

how about instead of making an easy difficulty you make a balanced game?

yea how dare they give you the option to change difficutly so that people who find it hard can just zoom on by and enjoy the rest of the game. I mean its just insanity. INSANITY I SAY!!!

FFXIII was easy enough all you need to do is level up.

If this means there will be a harder difficulty, that's a plus.

XIII had a balanced difficulty, but some harder fights (for better rewards) wouldn't be a bad thing.

FFXIII hasnt hard if you didnt level grind abit some of the boss fights can be very tedious with those insane hp totals they had

I've been hearing FFXIII-2 is vastly more easier than FFXIII even on normal difficulty. It's true though, people did complain about the difficulty but I heard more people complaining about the fact if your party leader dies it's game over not the actual game difficulty itself. They should of at least put a hard mode into FFXIII-2 though. I could see hard mode being a DLC. :|

I think people are criticising 13-2 for anything now, I mean, it doesn't FORCE you to lower the difficulty does it?darkad1

Why do people continue to respond to these topics?

Back in my day, when you faced a tough boss you'd level grind and come up with a strategy based off it's attack patterns.

Kids these days...

I dont see the problem, many games let you do that. Don't want it, don't do it. Hell, mass effect 2 was easy on its toughest difficulty, and it let you change at any given time.

yup for doing something really common in games since the beggining of time.

I thought 13 was harder than 7,8 or 9.

You have to learn a new battle system and you cant grind as much as you want.

I was half joking, but I do think it would've been better just to make better level pacing if the difficulty was really such a problem.

You are making it horribly obvious that you didnt play the game much, if at all.

You can change the difficulty anytime in Skyrim too.

That has to be one of the most ignorant things i have read this day in SW...think about that.

For all the issues I have with the current state of the series this is not one of them. Games have offered difficulty settings forever.

Who cares if someone else finds the game too difficult to enjoy? At least SE is offering the option rather than dumbing the game down for everyone. As a matter of fact, SE can now make the game even more difficult while still offering these easier settings.

Though I think it would be nice for them to offer an in-game incentive for those who dont opt for the easier setting.

"teh hard??? it was ez for me!"

I love video game message boards, where showing one's HUGE e-peen rules all else as motivation for posting goes.

That's good to me, I stopped playing altogether because I didn't care enough to grind so I could beat a boss that annihilated my party with three swipes. If I cared, I would grind, I just didn't think it was worth the effort. Deathtransit

Hard? Only time you had to change paradigms was during boss fights. :/ Perhaps they'll give out a harder option as well?tagyhag

This is impossible.

its a universal opinion...the game was a cakewalk...fanboys just love to say that paradigm shift makes the game super complicated and full of strategy and difficulty and its all BSlightleggy

A cakewalk relative to what, exactly? I'm not saying it was hard, but in the big picture of gaming in general there are a lot of games that are easier, and Final Fantasy wasn't ever known for it's crushing difficulty to say the least.

umm not against being able to change difficulty at any time.

but FF13 was NOT hard.

the ONLY part of the FF13 i had to resort to grinding to level up a bit was when i reached [spoiler] Cid [/spoiler]

otherwise it was smooth sailing.

dont agree with this at all. I found it to be a fun battle system and switching for certain fights and setups made it indeed tatical.

Nonsense. Paradigm system is what meaks the breaking system work. It creates a risk-reward system. I can see someone having an easy time with it, but it's probably the most engaged I've been in an FF game to date.

Most JRPGs are not as challenging as FFXIII.

if you continue with the content "after" the final boss, you would see FF13 is not that much of cake walk as people would think. Try 5 staring all the missions, not properly using paradigms and using auto battle will not net you 5 star in all these missions.

To be honest, i did not learn how to effectively use class roles and paradigms till after i beat the main story and started the additional content.

And when you are using stuff like triple sab to apply debuffs, using auto-battle actually makes it take longer to apply all the buffs. The AI is programmed to apply the buffs in a certain order, so to effectively apply all the debuffs, you need to do this in reverse order and meet in the middle with the AI. Same goes for buffing. Also using auto-battle will actually make it take longer to build the chain gauge once you learn all the mechanics behind it.
