The level scaling is really kind of trash. I played as a kid and it was really hard, and the more I leveled the worse it got.
As an adult it was trivial because I learned not to level, but that was really tedious. Who plays a game to not play a game?
Plus the card game is the most Guide Dang It thing I’ve ever seen. It’s extremely esoteric and the rewards are massive. Also it’s so jarring to be like “oh shit the world is ending do you wanna be cards?”

People hate the level scaling in VIII, because the wisest way to play the game is to never level up.
It’s still my 3rd favorite entry in the series, though. I don’t try to min/max, I just enjoy the game.
