While VII and VI did get easier then previous games, there was still thought required to breeze through them.

VIII and X, on the other hand, tell you right off the back how to handle the game, and never does it deviate from that, and the ability to use any character in the fight means every fight you are garunteed to have the win button that the game is basically screaming at you to use. (Well, not for optional boss's, but that's beside the point, I never liked doing the super boss's of any game. )

Even XIII required some thought into your paradigms.
