FINAL FANTASY 5. THAT'S ROUGH.

Probably III or V, depends.

U MEAN III AS IN VI OR III AS IN III CAUSE IF U MEAN III AS IN VI THEN I AGREE BUT IF U MEAN III AS IN III THEN I NEVER PLAYED IT.

No, the one for the NES that you have not played.

FFIII and FFV are really the only two that I haven't played... Well, I have FF Anthology and I played FFV for a while, but I guess I never really got started on it very well. The load times really got on my nerves. Anyway, out of all that I've played, FFI is the hardest, provided you're playing on the NES and not Origins or DOS. Of course, I've only played FFII on DOS, and if FFII is as much easier on DOS as FFI is, then it's unfairly knocked out of the running.

FFV was very easy for me, but it was the one in Anthologies.

You've played III?

Id have to go with FF1 or 2, I haven't played 3, 4 had a reasonable difficulty, 5 & 6 I havent finished yet...

1 wasn't to bad untill the final dash into the Chaos Temple of the Past, and FF2 had that weird stat developement system, which could make it difficult.

Are you talking about the original, Origins, or DOS?

I'd have to say 4(Hard Type), just for the time it takes to level up.

final fantasy IV-yeah the final boss is horrible

im playing the nes 3 now it aint too hard near the start ff5 five is hard levelling up is so damn slow sheez.

Hardest for me was FF-IV. The moves are to slow sometimes, the final boss is terrible.

FF-V was pretty easy for me, and I loved playing it. I was pretty good at the job system.

I never playes FF-I, II and III. There might be a harder one than FF-IV...

Final Fantasy. I still can't beat it. =(

Let's see. I have only played FF7-10, plus the Playstation re-releases. I am playing the NES ones now. I just started Final Fantasy I about 3 hours ago. I hear that massive leveling up is needed, so I have been getting them up. I have all the spells you can get in Corniea. I have the best weapons and armor. Now I am working on getting 99 in all Items.

Is Final Fantasy I really as hard as my cheapo friends say?

from the classics, i've only played I and II, so i think II is harder then I

FFV really isn't all that hard, at all. It's still one of my favorites, for no other reason than it being insanely entertaining, mainly due to the fact that if you look up "Deus ex Machina" in the dictionary, you'll find "Final Fantasy V". Seriously, play through it and look for all the times the answer to a given problem comes out of NOWHERE. It's worse than the Power Rangers.. not that I watch the Power Rangers or anything...

Right, moving on. The major problem with determining which FF is the hardest is that there is a simple rule of thumb to making it easier. "If you can't get through a certain area or beat a boss, level up some and try again". Because of this, I'd say FFI is the hardest because you want to try and get your expert jobs (or whatever they are called) at the lowest level possible.

From all of the ones that I have had the opportunity to play, I'd have to say V. It's not too hard once you get the hang of it. The bosses are pretty damn brutal sometimes, though, especially if you don't like to level up (which is so slow...)

V can be pretty rough --- I think actually V is a bit different because I'd say a lot of the time in V, beating bosses isn't dependent so much on leveling up as it on knowing the right strategies and tricks, more so than other FF games.

FFIV Hard-Type definitely was quite tough, I'd say maybe that's the toughest.

For me it was IV because of the last boss.

V or IV. I have a lot of trouble on the 2D FFs for some reason.

I haven't went through IV yet, but it's harder than the rest of them? I wouldn't be surprised. V was a really eye opener. The newer FFs are a lot easier than the old ones. Why is that?

I guess they wanted to be "more accessible" to a wider audience? Well, it certainly worked for them --- FFVII was / is still a runaway hit.

Not that I want to see anybody get into that here --- you know, the rabid pro-FFVII vs. the rabid anti-FFVII forces arguing about just why it was / is so popular.

I didn't think FFIV was all that hard. It took me two tries to beat Zeromus, and the reason I lost the first time was that I was too risky. I cast White with Rosa, and that's a big no-no against Zeromus. You need Rosa for curing. Of course, FF games don't typically have extremely difficult last bosses. Even FFI's last boss was easy, although getting to him was not.

I had no trouble with V, and it was one of my first RPGs.

The original was pretty rough if you didn't bother to level up too often, as was IV. Never played III. II was pretty straight forward in the respect that any time you were a little low in a stat you could increase it.

yupz..me too :Pp

Final Fantasy V was very tough.

FF1 on the nintendo no doubt.

for me the hardes final fantasy is 2 (origins) but 6(anthologies) is a bit hard.
I played ff2 in nes and it is much harder that in ps1 or gba

FFIII was hard at times, but FFI was probably the hardest.

There's no question that FFI has the potential to be the hardest if you're dumb enough (like me) to choose a party of all thieves.

Although Final Fantasy Adventure is a simple game, I managed to make it really complicated and get stuck for 6 years.. didn't get the puzzle right off the bat. By the time I figured it out, the rest of the game was like watching a 2 hour movie.

That isn't even technically a FF game, they just put the title Final Fantasy to rake in more cash.

FF2 because i keep falling asleep and FF5 becasue it was made by morons witht no imagination!

Yeah, I know it's part of the Mana Series.. and only bears a slight resemblance to the FF series (Moogles, Chocobos), but it's not my fault I was tricked... really! I was young and naive.. they labelled it FF and I believed them.. damn the broccoli, damn you, and damn the Wright brothers!

You shut the fuck up now. Please.

I think the FF1 was the hardest of all in the series. Although FF5 was pretty hard as well.

FF5 was easy. FF4 was the hardest i've played on Zeromus is a bugger of a last boss, but I was stuck on Dark Elf for a while too

I wonder if the people who are saying games after FFI are the hardest have played the original FFI or just DOS or Origins, because there's a HUGE difference. I think the original FFI is the hardest because of the "ineffectives" and because you literally HAD to spend time levelling up, no matter how balanced your party was (unlike mine).

I played 1-6 and 1 is the hardest..

In FFIV I learned that the final boss ain't so bad when all characters are 70+ levels. Just keep chucking Excalibur at him with Edge.

yeah ff5 was cool good story lots of jobs cool quests

For me i thought it was FFI, specially the remake for the PS1, was really hard, if you wandered into the wrong part of the map you were basically killed instantly lol :), also the end boss on FFIV was pretty hard too!

Was Origins really harder than the NES, or are you comparing it to DOS?

I personally thought it was harder!, i dunno why, might be because i havent played FFI in years and then playing it again, might have made me think it was harder? They done a very good job re-making it though!

i had trouble with 4 i have to admit.

and 5 is the easiest of any ff i ever played so i dont know what you guys are talking about.

all of them were fairly easy

ff2 no doubt, because of that stupid stat level up system, raise strength lower magic, raise speed lower defence, that makes perfect sense

Final Fantasy 4 no doubt!!!! I CAN'T STILL BEAT THE DAMN FINAL BOSS!!!

The original Final Fantasy for me, you have to train non stop, gets boring after a while

It's actually your choice to train or not. Either way you can still beat the game

well let's put it like this, you have to fight all the time because that's pretty much all there is, there isn't a real story or something, you're just fighting all the time

well let's put it like this, you have to fight all the time because that's pretty much all there is, there isn't a real story or something, you're just fighting all the time
But there is a plot in it, there's an ending so that concludes...you haven't been paying attention much on the game to not notice there is a story in it.

FFI definitely has a story in it. Sure, it's badly translated, and Square hadn't exactly become experts at making RPGs. But FFI definitely had a plot to it.

I didn't say anything about a plot, about the story, how there isn't one there, okay a little story, but it's not much

I dont see why anyone thinks IV ~hard type~ was so hard. I considered it eaiser thanks to Shell and Protect.

I say V only if youre going for both super bosses.

I have played all of them a little and the hardest was 1 (Nes). I beat garland and got across the bridge but i think i kept dying fighting the pirates in that town.

I would say that Final Fantasy II is the hardest because it was so boring and it made me just want to break the game and just playing it was a pain.

So yeah.

Have a nice day!

I say that by far the hardest for me as final fantasy 3, its also my all time favorite

FF1 in Origins can be made much easier by switching a few options around, such as mid-fight revival of dead charries. It's also much easier to get gold, which makes it much easier to get the good spells and weapons (which is really the point of all the fighting, your levels aren't THAT crucial if you've got the right gear.). One can make FF1 nigh-impossible, depending on what party you fight with. (Four thieves, for instance. :-D ) I still haven't beat V, and I've only played a few minutes of II, but of the ones I've finished...I'd say 1, even though the game gets stupidly easy if you keep the "heal" equipment and use them as items (free cure/heal spells.)

II's the hardest, cuz of the system and the bosses.... end of story.

I'm gonna go with I. Almost every enemy was poisonous, and the random encounter generator was incredibly bad, allowing you to get in a fight with the same super-strong enemy with every step, 27 times I once counted.

I have played all of them a little and the hardest was 1 (Nes). I beat garland and got across the bridge but i think i kept dying fighting the pirates in that town.

Wow... That's pretty sad... I beat Bikke and his crew with my party of thieves... I don't disagree, though, I definitely think 1 was the hardest.

ff3 (origonal) 4+5 you can beat at level fifty. one and two i'm near the final bosses. but seriously, ever fought them crystal like dragons on ff3? tough little buggers :sad:

They are all easy.

The hardest FF by far was FFII on the NES (not the Origins or DOS versions), which was even harder than the original FF. There was no Exp levels in FFII and you had to level-up each stat seperately by continuously using the associated actions (continuously attack to increase Attack, keep defending to increase Defense, keep getting hit to increase HP, etc). It was important to level-up a lot in that game but because they made it more difficult to level-up, it was really painful.

The NES FFs (FF1-3) were a lot harder than any of the later FFs. Since FFIV, all the FFs seem to have gotten easier in favour of making the gameplay more enjoyable and having deeper storylines.

are you bloody serious. the stat thing was awesome.

Hey I also liked the idea of it... but it was just too painful... especially for a lazy person like myself... :|

My all time hardest FF ever is FF3 (Jap version). Sadly . . . I'm having such a hard time after playing for 2 hours on it. It's crazy! The others are way easy compared to this!
