CarrionCrow: Enix makes me think of one thing - 7th Saga. And that game has been bugging the hell out of me with its existence for 20 years now.
Narcia_: Not a Dragon Quest fan? 7th Saga was pretty brutal. I never finished it, but I played it years ago. I don't even remember what I played it on O.o
Never really got into that series. I....think....I beat the first one a very long time ago, but it ended at that. And yeah, 7th Saga is all kinds of brutal. For the American version, they changed the rate at which XP is built up to 1/4th of the Japanese version, made the enemies level up at the standard rate so they can keep one-shotting you, put in fights where you are ridiculously outmatched and somehow managed to screw up the game so hard (the cynical side of me thinks they did this on purpose) that if you don't choose the priest as a companion, you end up with him as an unkillable adversary due to him eventually gaining a spell that restores all life, all MP, AND gives them back the cost of casting the spell, making them unbeatable.
That game is so screwed.
