Is it just me or was Final Fantasy XIII too easy?

The main campaign isn't TOO difficult although there are a couple of tricky bosses. Some of the later Cieth stone missions are an utter nightmare though!

o really? i just beat it and was thinking to myself "is that it?" I just specialized all my characters and maxed out stat boosting accessories and had no trouble doing what needed to be done. But if some of the side quest missions are hard, thanks for the tip.

Just max out the characters main spheres after every expansion, some bosses actually require that in order for you to stand a chance. Done deal.

its hard to make it difficult when you only really control one character. and even then you're not doing much other than auto-attack.

Wrong. Not all JRPGs are easy.

Pretty much all JRPGs are.

Not the older SMT games, everything else I played has been. Except maybe for one or two boss fights throughout an entire game, and usually for those I could just go level more. The strategy in most JRPG games is just common sense or less than that in FF13's case.

You're missing the point - it's never easy. On difficulty like normal or easy, fine, but once you put it up on hard or even the hardest difficulty, the challenge gets ramped up and it takes longer to beat the game, because of several boss fights or being poorly equipped or not at the right level that you need to be. Even with a new game plus, even on the hardest difficulty, you'll still have problems. I had problems with Tales Of Vesperia on Unknown, even if I was at level 200 and had the best stuff for my party members. Few boss fights killed me and took me at least 3-5 tries before I finally won and the last boss was no joke.

It is a none level scaling RPG so you can over power yourself. I did a littling gridding in Gothica 3 and that game was easy.

I thought it was easy too, the only hard boss for me was Cid. I beat the last boss in one try, that's a first for a Final Fantay game.

The game is very easy if you want to spend an 30 minutes fighting a monster.

FFXIII had a lot of problems, but difficulty wasn't one of them. Some bosses and side-missions gave me a bit of trouble, but it never got too frustrating. I thought it was just right.

I don't like very hard games in general. I hate struggling to make progrees.

"the game is easy when I maxed out all of my characters and their accessories" isn't really the best judgement imo.
