You might just be terrible at RPGs.

But why do I think that SaGaFrontier 1 is easy when everybody else says it's too hard then? =p

Also I've heard from multiple other independent sources already that BoF III was hard.

Might even go so far and say that every Capcom game is hard.

I used to have issues maintaining resources in BOFIII until I figured out that using Rei's "Pilfer" in the early game can make the going all the easier for you when the game forces it to be just Ryu.

For example: Boss Goblin have Waist-cloths, Eye Goo's have Healing Herbs: right here is where you'll save money early on because you steal Waist-clothes for the team, and nab extras to sell later.

GongHeads have Vitamin, which can be tricky to steal, just like the Waist-cloth. Too, try to steal Power Food from the Nue each time you fight it - give these to Ryu. Whenever Mygas becomes available, put Ryu under him and get the early skills he offers. Don't worry about the lack of strength; you'll be relying on his strength in equal parts to his magic until you have Momo and Nina.

Steal the Life Shard from Rocky outside McNeils manor, and again, gift that bad boy to Ryu.

Now, assuming you steal enough waist-clothes, if you can manage to set yourself up for being able to to tutor under D'lonzo by having 15 different weapons in your inventory, you'll be able to give Ryu the "Steal" ability after leveling up under her for four levels. This skill will be vital for ya until Rei comes back, because you can steal Protein from the Vulcan's in Mt. Zublo, which should help boost your defense a bit. Too, if you want some easy experience and levels, you can give "Monopolize", learned from D'lonzo, to a character you want to power up, go to Zublo and animate the Vulcan via fire spell, use Monopolize, and BOOM. Quick exp for weaker characters.

Later on you can steal Life Shards from Titan Goo's and Ice Toads, Magic Shards from Reapers, Power Food from Nightbats and Hobgoblins, and Protein from Vulcan. Too, you can set up your Faery Village to have all gift shops and do the corresponding trick:

4-6 fights = one vitamin
7 fights = fish head
16-20 fights = multivitamin
31-40 fights = life shards
41-50 fights = magic shards
51-60 fights = power food
61-70 fights = protein
71-76 fights = swallow eyes
201-499 fights = shaman rings
500+ fights = spirit rings

<_< Again, pardon the info dump...BOFIII and BOFIV are games I know really well, and I love sharing the knowledge I have learned and benefited from.

It's morning....why the Cthulhu-loving fuck am I awake? -_-

Right, cuz my cat woke me up...furry bastard.

9. Do NOT use EXCESSIVE profanity

Well, fuck. I'm out. LOL

Seriously, some of that I can understand but it sounds so unbearably stiff. As in move one's neck just wrong and it'll snap in twain, stiff.

I didn't know this! O_O

I do know there's an exploit in all versions of FF4 that I've played that render the game utterly easy.

When ascending Mt. Ordeal, have all the paladin equipment from the town beforehand bought, and then once Cecil turns over into said paladin, equip all of it, kill your team, and farm sweet, sweet levels.

I left there at level 80 (on the psx), level 80 (psp) and 70 on the DS version...and everyone but Edge will join at Cecil's level. Makes grinding pointless later but hey...I was proud of myself for figuring that tip out. :P

Oooh, I want to try that...

I found it through sheer boredom, to be honest. When I noticed that Cecil by himself would jump several levels, I sat there and spent maybe two and a half hours, seeing how far you can go with it - and you can level cap him if you're patient.

Another exploit I learned off (although not on my own) is how to be OP in FF8 but without ever fighting and physically defeating enemies.

You need to have Seifer in the party during the Dollet invasion, and have him knock out Zell and Squall. Have the GF's you want to get EXP and abilities for equipped to all three of them - despite the two being knocked out, their GFs received the experience. Since Seifer's level do not affect future encounters outside of this one particular story mission, you can level up all you want.

Once Quetzalcoatl has learned Card and the related abilities, start focusing on refining items into magic and retain enough cards to play with, because you can beat disc one with everyone's ultimate weapon, despite not having the weapon magazines. All you need is the material and somehow it counts it as having the mag.

And then, for an extra challenge, go through the game carding all non-boss enemies, and you'll arrive at the finale maybe level 10-15 for all characters. Can even use Doomtrain and Cactuar and abilities found on them to harvest permanent stat gains from the Island Between Heaven and Hell (which I know is somewhere not too far from the desert prison area).

....I apologize for nerding out. >_> I don't get to talk about video games with people locally and tend to info dump my findings on all of ya. XD

Suuuuuuuuuuuuup? :D Welcome, welcome!
