They're somewhat more complex but they're not complicated. 8 systems are complex in the sense that they're all intertwined, but it's so poorly balanced that if you figure it out just a bit the game becomes very easy. Worse case scenario you can just spam summon but it's tedious.
12 is an offline mmo so I quickly dropped out but my big grip with the battle system (zodiac age version) was that you had to buy every individual commands and there is a but load of them since it's combat programming.
In any case FF8 is kino worth playing just for the setting and what is arguably uematsu's best composition. But again every FF on ps1 are worth playing no matter what the tribalists say.
