Yeah, the fact that battling against the Dark Aeons isn't choosable is pretty darn annoying. I dig the fact that the PAL version has the Expert Grid, though. After playing through the game for the first time, you'll never go back to the Standard Grid ever again because the Expert one is simply much more fun and flexible.
