the difficulty was definitely a bit all over the place tho still wouldnt say it was difficult there definitely were parts that i couldnt just faceroll tho it wasnt always a losing strategy considering i beat cloud by just throwing shurikens and spaming flare over and over again
as for ff3 itself its literally just ff1 with more stuff in it except the ost is like way better also kinda crazy how much shit this game introduced thats present in like every ff game after it
