I can't wait to try it out. Subscribed~!

there is a general consensus that the game is too hard. It's painful to watch as most people struggle because of terrible decision making... whether it's from not taking the time to look for the chests i scattered EVERYWHERE, or if its from not bothering to read the dialogue and then getting lost. Or some people that spam the chain attacks and never use spells at all. I do not blame the players though, How can I? A game is fun, or it isn't I need to investigate how to overcome different players and their different skill sets.

Now you definitely have my interest. Whenever something like this happens, it's a question of whether the players are really making terrible decisions or if it's a case where making the right decisions practically requires you to be the one who made the game. Seeing as you're nerfing the monsters, it may be to late to find out though.

I wonder if people will instead complain about the game being to easy.

It's the better of two evils. That, or reward the player with easier ways to grind money and exp.

Like I said in the pm, your difficulty is fine after the first couple of chapters. It's a simple fix making the beginning of the game the easiest part of the game. Also consider adding optional bosses that really challenge the player. No one's going to complain if there's an option to fight harder bosses for extra rewards.

You don't really need to nerf the bosses too much. You need to, however, make the trash mobs a tad face roll. You could give them extreme attack power every once and awhile, but honestly, most of the fights were pretty much boss battles until mid-game. I shouldn't have to put so much time and effort into trash mobs.

I feel as though trash mobs is the best way to give the player a break and feel mildly powerful. If the player feels weak throughout 70% of the project, there's a problem.

I should also mention that every boss must have multiple ways to kill him/her, or the single weakness must be fairly obvious. You also have to build up the difficulty. Don't give bosses a whole bunch of STR and call it a hard fight. All that does is screw over unprepared players in the first few turns, which makes them automatically think that the boss is OP.
