Which you have to win off of Ellone, whom you only have one chance to do so and accidentally talking to her instead of engaging the card game moves the scenario along and you lose the card, not to mention that the Space Station uses all of the Triple Triad card rules including the well loathed Random one, and she doesn't always use the Laguna card in her first match so you might be there a while trying to win that card and for those who hate TT, well that "pathway to easy victory" is more work that its worth for some fans.

I'm not saying VIII is a major challenge, the game is ridiculously easy to break, but I do feel Omega is a bit more challenging than the Weapons are, especially since fans over the years have learned how to break those fights in half. I mean they're both susceptible to Joker Limit, Overflow Glitch, have glaring weaknesses to crap you wouldn't expects like Gravity and paralyze, and their most dangerous moves all have gimmicks to them that make it easy to by pass. I mean you can actually beat Ruby without ever taking damage just by having 20 Dazer items and then take you time to beat him up with normal attacks. You don't need end game trout to win these fights, in fact you're often better off not using them much like the superbosses from FFV.

As for getting a Gold Chocobo, it really just comes down to save scumming at the end, which is something you need to do when you have to make the Black Chocobo anyways since the gender of the Chocobo is a crap shoot concerning its parents. Chocobo Breeding is really just busy work akin to winning all those cards needed in VIII anyway. If you have patience and stick with it, the RNG will eventually favor you.
