I am NOT a hardened SOLDIER
Silly me for wanting to start out by playing Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII on “Hard Mode” instead of “Normal Mode”. I barely made it to the end of the Wutai mission (this is at the beginning of the game, by the way) before getting smacked around by a bunch of generic soldiers or fire-breathing beasts (sometimes in the same party). Now I realize why it’s generally a bad idea to jump right into “Chaos” mode in Dynasty Warriors with a Level 1 character…and since Crisis Core’s leveling system is determined entirely by luck (basically, the game levels Zack up when it wants it to), I can be assured that I may never make it out of that castle if the game’s not having a good day.
