What I meant is that I, who skill-wise is probably the intended target for normal mode, picked hard mode because I value having a consistent experience even if it is more difficult. Despite this I am getting the impression that the difficulty I have chosen is balanced for me and am beating chapters on the first try.
In contrast Coldhands25 and Shrimperor, who both picked the difficulty they thought appropriate for their skill, were disappointed in the game not challenging them enough. Suggesting that they would have had a better experience if they picked a higher difficulty.
That suggests the description of the difficulties should get adjusted so that new players don't make the same mistake. Atleast based on the sample size of 3 here at Serenes Forest.
