Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy.

BustaMo be speaking truth.
Getting to level 100 is just a mission of accomplishment.
It doesn't really help you in the long run. =[

And by the time you get Ragnarok, you can just fly over to Cactuar island and teach your summons all kinds of skills. No leveling up necissary. =]

The easiest one of the lot by far to be honest, Its sooo easy to exploit the Junctioning System. Still an incredibly enjoyable game, and some of the tougher Monsters still proved a slight challange (untill you get LV Down ofcourse ) but meh.

Yeah, the main problem with this game was how it was made so the player's aren't really required to level, since the enemies level depends upon your characters average level (I think it's characters average...that or just squalls). Nothing was truly unbeatable at any point if you prepared your characters accordingly.

I think its about as hard as the others. None of the FF's are particularly hard. 8 was just seen as easier because of how good you characters can get at any level.

True, none are really hard, but some do test your patience. If you dont have patience for games such as IV or even X, your gonna get a seirous rapeage! FFVIII however isn't like this, seeing as its easier to speed through the game rather than taking your time levelling.

FFVIII was easy, because you don't really have to level up that much, As the monsters lvl depent's on your one.

Technically you could beat FFVIII without levelling up at all, becasue your stats depend heavily on the magics you have junctioned. However, if you have levelled up to 100, the monsters become difficult. Ultimecia was one of the hardest final bosses to date at the time with a huge 500,000 HP This made FFVIII very difficult to finish

Yea, it was both too easy and fast. It was more of a love story than an adventure story.
