I'm the same way, actually. The introduction of battle saves in 9 and 10 was a godsend. Though, 8 was easy enough with its random battles that you could power level your entire team to 20/20 pretty easily, and the enemy stats in that game were hilarious at best. I distinctly remember an endgame general haveing 3 speed. 3! That's not even reasonable at level 1 for a general, who is the slowest class in the game! And this guy was like level 20/16! :p
