Not everyone is thinking of gaming as some sort of sports. I am playing video games mainly because of its story (like JRPGS) or interesting settings (like AC2 letting you enjoy Renaissance Italy). Difficulty is among the least important factors in my opinion.

I always start with the "normal" difficulty as it seems to be the right choice. If there is a trophy for beating a game on the hardest difficulty level I play it and normally I can beat it... but I don't like to replay a game on various difficulty levels. I prefer 1 long playthrough where you can gain 100%.

And to be honest, I don't get excited if I beat a game on the hardest mode. So if I play normal it is not because I lack coordination, skill or strategy... it is just that difficulty is not important to me and I go with the standard setting.

Take Demon's Souls. It is a game that is famous for its difficulty level, but on the storytelling side this game was really lacking... Most of the time I was running around questioning what this whole game is about. I managed to get the Platinum trophy, but I did not like the game. There was nothing there to get me interesting in replaying the game.

Final Fantasy XIII was not a difficult game, but there was so much effort put into story, characters and world that I want to replay the game.

ff 13 was ez as hell! secondly ff story was the worst i have ever seen in my life that game was dull
