The point is, it's the opposite of communism, because it supports capitalism in the end by not segregating a potential buyer of your game, thus making you more money. Also, for some reason in the beginning I didn't realize we were talking about RPG bosses, which are specifically meant to be difficult or not to tell a story or help progress it along, which is the main reason people buy a particular RPG (usually). So I don't think the difficulty options apply to RPGs, but a it does to a lot of games.

Action Replay & Gameshark would be bankrupt right now if videogame developers offered enough variety of difficulty settings.

Implementing them would be a better solution than yours.

Difficulty options aren't a complex thing. If the game is too hard tone it down, if it's not hard enough raise it up.

I don't even remember how this topic got started.

It all started on a post I made last year.. about 7 months ago. Which has been revived. I forget which boss made me remember that I hadn't faced an actually difficult last boss in an RPG. ANd since RPGs are typically seen as easy... I'm not going anywhere with this.

I was talking about the difficulty thing, but all the same...

No.

RPGs should have enemies that progress with you. Then, if you're having too hard of a time, the game gives you bonuses (to help players who aren't good at RPGs, so that they don't get frustrated), and if you're having too easy of a time with them, the game gives the bosses bonuses.

Grandia's Baal/Gaia was pretty tough, but Grandia II's was, in my opinion, much more frustrating.

Grandia 2's was a joke. Just pick one element spell for each character to use and level it uop completely. Each character does 3000 damage per spell.

I like the more traditional way. In one area the enemys will be weaker then when you advance to another stage or level in the game. I dont like the idea of enemys leveling up with the player, it takes away the feeling of being more powerfull than the enemy. Like FF2 in some area's you'll get your ass whooped if your not prepared but in other places if you could, you would put the game on auto battle cause they dont stand a chance.
