And there is a routine of this through out the game.

Bosses are the only worthwhile enemies to steal from. And generally I tend to be above average lvl (in the evil forest, if you get to at least lvl 6 you're guaranteed an easier time in the game), so I usually just stand around and can afford to wait however long it takes to steal an item.

I can only read your last two sentences

Ozma is incredibly easy if you actually bother to learn abilities and wear the right equipment.

Using Quinas angel snacks(probably wrong name for the ability but i mean the ability to use remedey on everybody) makes it a lot easier but without a proper stratagy t is hard as F**K

You were right, it's Angel Snack

I finally decided to give Quina a chance in my sixth file...ugh. Once I got through Oilevert I stopped using him. He fails so hard and he's completely unnecessary. Actually remedies themselves become largely unnecessary once you learn all the immunity abilities. So most anything Ozma does to me doesn't affect me, or it'll hit maybe one or two party members and I have plenty of time to cure it.

He he i was right thanks! The other abilities you can use can hurt him quicker but it depends who you use i suppose.

i dont think it's 'easy'.. It's not the hardest game by any means but it's not a walk in the park either. I'm an experienced gamer and RPG player so i find it easy, but a newcomer wouldn't find it so.

I've started FF9 again today and i did notice that Zidane's attacks do take off about 60hp when he starts off in the game. The enemies dont have alot of hp so it seems like you're doing alot of damage.

The Black Mages in the beginning do a fair bit of damage with their Fira attacks

No, it's not easy.

But then speaking about that, it isn't too hard either. It's just got about the right balance.

It was challenging at many points to be honest with everyone.

IX is not easy, the first 2-3 disks aren't really challenging in general but the bosses, some of the larger enemies and Disk 4 were pretty difficult if you weren't careful.

Now FFVII, that was a piece of piss.
