Fire Pro Wrestling D on the Dreamcast.

The Japanese text was a bit daunting at first, but the english guides online are brilliant. What a superb game. Going to give the editing a go tonight, but the wrestling itself is brilliant, simple but deep and wipes the floor with any wrestling game I've ever played.

Pretty good game, found it really easy though. I was 16 hours in until I forgot to backup my saves when updating my CFW and lost it all!


That the remake of it?

I've heard they lowered the difficulty quite alot, from what the original NES game was. Havent played the remake myself.

Im sure they did if you found it easy Nak. I completed the PS1 remake on original NES difficulty a while ago and it required some serious grinding to survive.

it's like a second playthrough of an rpg, y'know when you've completed the game once and then go through again with characters far too levelled-up for the early stages. Haven't encounted one troublesome battle yet.

The original (NES) can be done without grinding. I dunno if the PS1 version has changes that make that not doable or not....

Though, for the NES one, you definitely have to know what you're doing to pull that off. But it can be done.

I'm playing through the first FF on my iPhone (my first ever JRPG, btw) and I can't say I've noticed any excessive grinding. I have found one shrine (the one where you pop out in the desert) where I just die instantly, but I've just avoided it and I'm exploring the other parts of the map.

I did have to check a walkthrough, which was for the NES version and it does go on about how hard the enemies are. I think maybe the iOS one was made easier. Also, apparently Phoenix Downs weren't in the NES version? They're in the iOS one though.

Sure, if you know dungeon layouts and what items are in which chests so you can plan your routes a lot more effectively. There are plenty of trap chests that have 10 gil in or some bullsh*t :lol:
Also, i learned that having a thief is practically pointless. They just serve as a weaker warrior class.

FYI far as the manual is concerned the PS1 normal difficulty is the same as the NES difficulty. Just prettier.

For some reason my thief is stronger than my warrior. He does more damage?!

My white mage is bloody useless. Enemies almost always target her, so most of the time she just casts cure on herself.

Woah really? What are your warrior and thief equipped with?
Throughout the entire game my thief always had half the attack power of the warrior up until he became ninja. Again, not sure what changes are made in other versions. Theres so many versions of FF1 and they all seem to differ in very slight ways.
