I found the battles easy, the monsters however were hard. In the battles your usually fighting 1 or 2 monsters at a time which makes the entire set of the battle's completely easy to gang up on them. The monsters themselves are pretty tough
What ever happened to "Training" you know that all important thing in RPG's where you should spend half the game leveling and advancing you character thats the biggest problem solver to "Hard battles". What ever happened to it? Well there doesn't seem to be any more satisfaction from leveling or gaining new ability's in FF12. the once "Oh my god look at holy its so great!" is now gone especially if all your characters can cast it. Train everyone its a forgotten art I know but go out there and train/level
