There are random elements in Ultima? I find Ultima & Garuda to be about the same difficulty, though Garuda is overall probably more recoverable.
Positioning of Ifrit, magitek lasers, etc. are somewhat more random than anything in the Garuda fight. Nothing crazy, but just enough to give people grief. There's really nothing like that in the Garuda fight. You don't have to be immediately reactive to anything in the fight. You just need to go exactly where you need to go every time and nothing is going to suddenly make you run somewhere else.
