So How Do We Feel About "Easier" Modes Creating a More Fun Experience?

[Mandarin Duck]

This is my first time playing FF6, and I copped the remastered version.

In that version you can turn off random encounters and/or automate encounters.

After beating FF7 without turning off random encounters I have to admit doing so is making FF6 fun and easier to get through.

I auto battle encounters, get exp and items much faster

It's not exactly the traditional way it was played on SNES but it speeds things up a lot

How do y'all feel about making a games experience easier for the purpose of you enjoying it more?

I'm fine with it either way, I usually do try to make it challenging - like for Remake and Rebirth I platted both, but in the future I'll probably just story mode them to enjoy the lore and and world.

That is how I always play, I don't have time to get frustrated by games these days. If a game does not have a story mode that carries my hands till the end, I am not buying

I don’t know how this could bother anyone. If you don’t want to play on those modes just pick the hard difficulty.

My ego doesn't allow it personally, but I don't mind that they exist.

Although I'll certainly talk shyt if I catch somebody playing on easy mode.

It's good, I saw a chick who never even played games before get recommended TLOU part 1 and tried it and loved it.

For old final fantasy and rpg games, you kind of have to implement those types of quality of life features into them. It’s the reason i can’t go back and play a lot of them anymore, just the random battles are such an annoying time sink.

for example, having a fast forward feature in FF12, turned it from a game i didn’t originally enjoy or complete to one of my favorites in the series. When you don’t have the tedium of leveling up al your characters and can move at a normal pace its so much better.

but i will say I don’t like when souls-like games have difficulty modes, it makes them feel unbalanced as fukk

To each their own. I think some things are too egregious though. What’s the point in playing if there’s no challenge?

Now that I’m 30+ and degraded down to a casual gamer, it’s the only way I play these days, easy or normal. 2k is the only exception because I’ve been playing for so long and they use the same damn engine.
