I don't find RPGs to be hard, but I am finding that it's harder to put aside large enough chunks of time to put into any given game. Some, like XIII, have save points everywhere and that's a godsend. Unfortunately, not every RPG is like that, especially older games. Not being able to save in the sprawling, boss-infested dungeon areas really kills it for me. I'll grind if I have to/feel like it but it does get pretty boring. That's usually the point where I'll put down a game and stop playing it entirely for months at a time.

I find I'm actually starting to favor more action/adventure type games because they're easier to pick up and play for an hour or two and they usually have good stories in their own right.
