The only regular story fights I had real trouble with were Evrae, Seymour No. 3 and 4, Yunalesca and the second last boss.

Also, Tidus sounds like he's doing a spot on Limozeen impression when he yells. "AAAAaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaAAA!"

I got slaughtered my first time against Braska's Final Aeon because he's fast and would get like 4 charges in the time it would take me to get one turn. So I had to go though the whole sphere-collecting bullshit all over again (seriously, what was with that?), but then I beat him with help from the Magus Sisters and all was good.

(Also, saying goodbye to all your summons was neat and all, but I kind of wish the game ended when it ended. Not as pointless as the sphere thing, but it could have stood to be a lot shorter.)

On my first playthrough I was stuck on Evrae for the better part of a month. But my first playthrough was a fucking disaster, so that's really not surprising. I've only lost to him a couple of times since then.

One thing I think the game would have benefited from is more time in Zanarkand at the beginning. We don't really get a clear idea of Tidus' life in Zanarkand, so we can't really feel for him losing it. Get some running around and hanging out with friends for a little while before everything goes to shit, like in Kingdom Hearts 2, and then his plight would seem a lot worse, and I, for one, would be more sympathetic to how he feels.

Pretty much this.

So I just found out that Tidus and Zanarkand are apparently a dream being had by the Fayth. I can't decide how I feel about this twist. I think I want to like it, but I'm also pretty sure I think it's really fuckin' dumb.

What is worse, that or the Orphanage scene from FFVIII?

Better, since I can kinda get behind it on this whole "Is the me in this world just a dream a butterfly is having?" level, and there is the tiniest, vaguest fraction of foreshadowing.

Wait, which are you saying is better? Because X had quite a bit of foreshadowing that something was up about Tidus' version of Zanarkand, whereas the Orphanage scene was basically "Oh hey look all these guys were at the same orphanage but they totally forgot."
