Follow the leveling guide I just posted and you should be fine. Run away from everything except Blue, Gold, and Silver Dragons. All of them are vulnerable to Stop, so it's a very easy way to level.

Equipment definetly plays a large role in this title. Despite half my party being maxed level when I got to the final dungeon, I still found the Dark Sages and Red Dragons to be more than I can handle through plain brute force. You really need strategy at the end of the game and that's why I love FFIV DS.
Dark Sages deal way too much damage and are worth basically no exp, so I don't even bother with them. However, Red Dragons aren't too much of a problem if you can get Berserk off on them fast. Also, once you get all of the gears that are in the Lunar dungeon, the Thermal Rays aren't too bad.
