Sora96 17,256 Posted February 20, 2014 In LIGHTNING RETURNS, since I can't even defeat the final boss' third form (he has four forms) I'm thinking of using New Game+ which can apparently be accessed near Mog after you lose to the final boss. And considering I want this over and done with I'll play on Easy Mode. Anyone got some thoughts or tips on this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fierce Deity Link 926 Posted February 20, 2014 GASP Sora96? Doing an EASY mode? FOR SHAME. But seriously I almost died in the demo once or twice so I shouldn't say anything. 1 Reyn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Square Enix said this: "Please note that as the game features a more challenging and strategy-oriented battle system, we highly encourage the first play-through to be played on the “Easy Mode”." I played through on Normal Mode and can't defeat the final boss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruby Rose 8,591 Posted February 20, 2014 I always play on the easiest mode possible- unless it's a Kingdom Hearts game or there's greater item drops and exp the tougher you go, like Tales of Graces f Nothing wrong with Easy- go for it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkventus 69 Posted February 20, 2014 fool if your having a problem with a boss then either look up on youtube to help you or farm leveling up if you have to do new game + Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingdomlanelover 494 Posted February 20, 2014 Easy mode is very strategic. Where as normal you have little chance of beating the game unless you like doing the side quests. Run through easy mode as fast as you can, using the time stop ability wisely. Then make sure when you have extra time, get as many side quests as you can. I'm on easy mode right now and so far it's working. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol, I swapped to Easy Mode after losing several days to Snow because he refused to drop any health during the final phase of his battle, even though I used strong abilities that he was weak to.

Emrys 3,192 Posted February 20, 2014 Hey guys its ok. im in a final fantasy group of like 2967 ppl and quite frankly a lot of people in that group couldn't beat the guy on easy. its insanely difficult. there is no shame on this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aang 649 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) There is absolutely no shame in playing through easy mode. Especially in the Final Fantasy series. I'm considered a "weak" gamer. Because I ALWAYS start on the easiest mode possible, and work my way up. Edited February 20, 2014 by Aang Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sendou Aichi 2,356 Posted February 20, 2014 Wasn't too much hard for me, Final boss is joke to many FF superbosses and chaos. Tho, it's just me. Fool. If your having a problem with a boss then either look up on youtube to help you or farm leveling up if you have to do new game + just lol'd a little when I saw this, so I fix'd it a bit.

You can't level up, you get stat boosts from completing side quests. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodakliv 558 Posted February 21, 2014 I'm doing easy mode when I get this game next month until I understand how the game works the. Will try challenge mode or normal whatever one is next. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm on easy mode right now and so far it's working. Well the game encourages you strongly to do side quests, especially if your doing a harder difficulty. Im following the advice, and things are going fine. With my new set up that let me easily beat caius and the new set up i plan on using for the secret bosses, i dont think ill have a hard time beating Bhuni.

Maybe the one in the Dead Dunes, but the Earth and Chocobo Eaters are encouraged for different reasons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know, im nt talking about the Earth and Chocobo Eaters. I meant the dragon in dead dunes, and another secret boss that you can fight if you manage to extend the life of the world to 14 days. I wont spoil though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
