I'm gonna have to agree with fantasy ender valkyrie profile: 2 was just unfairly difficult when compared to your character growth, it took forever to level people up and you're usually running around with at least ten characters. I remember having to grind like crazy for each boss i fought, ugh, I even looked at walkthroughs to see if there was actually a way to beat them without the grind, and while there were ways to do it they were so obsurdly complicated that my reactions would not be able to keep up (I'm talking to you, split the party and position them in different areas so you can constantly change the boss's target causing it to never unleash an attack, team splitting is not intuitive!)
