If your just talking about the travelling thru the story line and keeping pace with your levels then id have to say this game was pretty easy. No where near as easy as FFIV or VII tho. Some places it could be difficult like the Seymour fight on Gagazet battle (which everyone complains about) but most of it was quite easy. I thought Jecht was hardish the first time i played.....i actually had to go off and train up a bit before beating him. The rest of the final bosses are jokes
