You have a point there. Actually, FF6 might be even easier than FF8. That's because FF8 still has Malboros, Ruby Dragons, Omega Weapon and a couple of other things that can beat you up, but with FF6 and its 4 party members, there are loads of things to make you invincible: Osmose, Offering/Genji Glove, Economizer (the game's easy without it, but Economizer makes it a total cakewalk), Magic Box and the fact that even if you die, you get returned to the previous save point with all the EXP you managed to get before dying.

I really hope FF12 goes back to 4-5 party members who are all varied and have their unique abilities. Recently there's been so many FFs where the party consists of 3 semi-invincible characters.
