My god, what is the fucking point of doing this. All these games are so easy if all you care about is finishing the main story. Why would anyone that actually likes these games even buy these? I'd have instant buyer's remorse and go straight back to the ROMs. Trophies/achievements are fucking cancer too. I'll never buy any remakes of anything I remotely care about.
As for FFIX, I remember trying really hard to impress all the nobles near the start. I never could, though I was like 12 years old. Imagine buying a FF9 remake in your late 20s and then beating it easily and thinking, 'Oh cool I finally beat it, with age comes wisdom!' only to find out that they made it way easier. Fuck me, I bet you can get Steiner's Excalibur II just lying on the ground after beating disc 2. (Hint: Excalibur II is only achieved by reaching the end of one of the last areas in the game in less than 12 hours, making it both totally useless and one of the hardest items to get in all of the FF games.)
