Did anyone else find that Lost Odyssey was stupidly hard?

People who think LO is hard were obviously not born yet during the 16 and 8 bit era.

And how far did you get into Lost Odyssey to compare it to an 8bit or 16bit JRPG?

Also, which JRPG from th 8b or 16b era would you compare the difficulty of LO to?
