most rpgs are easy and you can beat bosses blindly on your first try

This is true.

There is certain rpgs I played when I was a kid like shining force 2 where I thought certain bosses like the kraken, the one golem dude, and oh muh gawd the chess board was some of the hardest gaming I experienced, but this was because I was just a young n' dumb kid doing young n' dumb kid things like letting one character (mainly npc peter) hog all the exp, benched characters who were not instantly good (used to just chuck slade on the bench and didn't even realize he promotes to ninja and quickly becomes pretty damn good. Kiwi never stood a chance, lol), and in rpgs with escape systems almost always try to run away thus leaving me underleved and with barely any money. (I used to think breath of fire 2 was like stupid hard and that the town zozo in final fantasy 6(3) was cheap, but I was just stupid underpowered and didn't know any better lol).

Basically with most of these old rpgs because most players played these when they were really young and with no experience with the rpg genre nostalgia would tell them "yeah, these were rough" when in truth if one was just a little bit older and hopefully with a little bit more common sense the majority of these really is actually easy. They may annoy you with a super high encounter rate like with snes breath of fire 2, but they really are easy.

Not going to lie though I was a bit older when I played through PS1 lunar the silver star story and I do think most spots in that game is legit rough, lol.
