Was X-2 too easy?

[DMKA]

I'm replaying FFX-2 at the moment, nearing the end of Chapter 2 and...every fight ends in just a few effortless hits, even every boss fight so far.

Sure, Final Fantasy games, particularly post-FFIV Final Fantasy titles, are hardly known for their difficulty, but X-2 even makes the rest of the FF games look hard. Really, you have this whole array of jobs and abilities, only to not ever have a need for them because every battle ends in a couple mindless attacks. There's absolutely no sense of satisfaction to winning battles because you really didn't have to do anything to do so.

Am I the only one who feels X-2 wasted it's awesome battle system's potential on battles with no challenge? Why do you think the developers decided to do this?
