Then don't use words like 'challenging' and 'frustrating', re-re. What were you talking about?
I thought the light/dark world mechanic was done worse in the game than just about any of the subsequent games, and at times was pretty annoying. Obviously I haven't played the game in ages, but at the time it made me roll my eyes.
Whereas to me the seasons/time parallels in the Capcom games were better thought out, the dungeons were more challenging, etc.
