Which difficulty level do you select for new games?

[TheBraveGallade]

if its a series i've had expirence in and i've played hard on that series before, i go for hard, ESPECIALLY in games where there is a difficulty harder then hard, as it is in most RPGs. examples here are fire emblem, where there is a lunatic/maddening difficulty abouve hard, and persona, where there is a brutal abouve hard. same thing with civ, though i'd hardly call playing on king 'hard', its still one stage higher then the standerd 'prince' difficulty.
