All I want to say is this: difficulty levels in a RPG DON'T work. It's all about using potions and everything, which sucks like hell (especially turn-based RPGs, which depend on luck).

I don't use potions in RPGs.  Never have never will... just didn't use items in general.

Ever since Final Fantasy 1 and Dragon Warrior all I ever used was white magic for healing.

Same here. That's why I said ''and everything.'' Or maybe it should have been ''anything'', I dunno! o_O

Worst abuse is in Kingdom Hearts in my opinion.

Ah neat, finally someone like me.   I don't know why i don't use items either.... just feels like "cheating" somehow.

There are some beginnings in a few RPGs that require you to use Potions in order to survive until you get a Cure spell (Lost Odyssey for example), but other than that, only good items to use are either Ethers or those STR +1, MP +1, etc. enhancement ones.
