Yeah, it sucked, but when I played again a few months ago I didn't have nearly as much trouble as I remember having years ago. It was still enough to frustrate me beyond belief though. I flat out gave up on lightning bolt dodging this time around, however, which is weird because when I played years ago I found it to be pretty easy.

I actually really enjoyed most of FFX's sidequests, and the only FF I never really got into the sidequests of was FFIX, although I did beat Ozma, who was the easiest superboss ever.
