Grinding is one of THE MOST UNECESSARY things in FF8 than an in ANY JRPG. You seriously do not have to grind AT ALL. You're outright PUNISHED for grinding EXP, even!

You sound like you read a Player's Guide about how to "break" the game's combat to make it easy, so you did, and now you're complaining you were able to break the game and it made it too easy.

Then don't grind. Wow.

>Game mechanics are retarded
It sounds like you're speaking about shops and item discovery, but... it's the same as any Monster Hunter game, my man. Or any D&D, really.
Besides, whenever you express the idea that "a guide solves it," I'm instantly thinking, "so don't go out of your way to spoil yourself!" It's the same concept of people who play stat-based games that:
>Grind
>Follow a guide
>Complain it was all too easy
>Complain there was no sense of adventure
I understand you "want the best equipment" but it becomes almost an Aesop's fable "The Fox and The Grapes" when you're upset by their presence and your failure to reach them.
