Butchering the difficulty otherwise isn't cool but if you're a big ff fan difficulty probably isn't your primary objective anyway.
Difficulty's an important objective in the early games to me since it's not like they do much else right so I might as well be engaged by them! It's not like FF7 where I can forgive it being easy because it has so much PC customisation, not to mention actual writing.
