How strategic do like your battles?

[MetalRenard]

Good debate but one that will never be solved because of the multitude of tastes.
I'll say my part though!

I am not a hardcore gamer. I don't like games that are hard for the sake of it either and often don't keep playing if I die a lot (in free games. If I paid for it then I'd try harder... ) I like games that have a neat learning curve, not ones that throw you in the deep end (unless it's an FPS or a horror game or something of the like).

In an RPG, I like ones that don't involve hours of grinding and when you don't grind they're impossible (cause lets face it, in today's industry people want immediate results and I'm one of those people) like in the original Final Fantasy on NES. That game was pure grinding all the way. Booring. (I think I just upset a few thousand people...)

Basically, keep it interesting and as long as the difficulty is not just a way to extend the game then ok, I'll give it a try.
