here's my definition of the difficulties

hard - Hoshigami - you're always outnumbered, always outleveled. when the computer is far from you, they either wait for you to come close or strategically move/power themselves up. they enjoy teaming up and bukkakeing one teammate to death
normal - Final Fantasy Tactics - enemy plays it smart. mages/archers attack from safe distances, etc. tough sometimes, but you'll win every battle if you're not stupid/outrageously outleveled
easy - Disgaea - just played a bit, but i've been able to slide through the fights with ease. any battles i've lost was mainly because of level (or wasting my turns on combos i thought would look cool). all i had to do was train a bit, come back, then plow my way through. even if i can poke nme from afar with arrows/spells, they won't move unless i'm within attack range
monkey - Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - only heard rumors, but i hear it's monkey

since there's a chance people will vote whatever in the poll, please post an accompanying opinion. ty

It's harder than Disgaea, but it's not very hard at all. The enemies make rocks seem like Stephen Hawking and you can really abuse the teaming up combos, but the overall enemy levels are higher than they were in Disgaea and its not as easy to level.

Updated when I can... which isn't very often. ^_^;;

I'm having a hard time since I hate leveling up in these types of games and I'm getting a super powerful boss and his buddies with heal spells thrown at me every level all of a sudden. Before that it was pretty easy.

I'm not having as much fun as I had with Disgaea due to problems like that in conjuction with the 5 minutes long cutscenes that you can't skip before boss fights.

The enemies in La Pucelle have a habit of going after the weakest member of your herd even if they are well out of their movement range. Other times they'll aimlessly mill around until you get within activation range. They are not the craftiest opponents I've ever fought.

Personally I'm having trouble getting anywhere in La Pucelle but that has more to do with me finding the characters and story boring as hell, which is more of a personal judgment call on my part than any fault of the game engine.

In Disgaea there are places where you can quickly level up if you need to due to the throwing monsters into other monsters system combined with experience bonus and invincibility geopanels. In La Pucelle, if you are underleveled you haveto beat up enemies repeatedly the old fasioned way, which gets very boring very fast.

Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
Also they take away two of your best characters near the end which is excedingly frustrating if you were focusing on growing them.
