Good point. I think they meant for the main part of the game to be really easy, and then after you were done that you had the option to either challenge yourself or go through a bunch of tedious repetitive tasks, depending on how you see it. Like Psychotic said, FFX was aimed at the newest generation of gamers. I guess Square felt that newbie gamers would have enough of a challenge with the main part, and expert gamers could go on to do everything else if they felt like it. Personally, I thought it was quite easy, but whatever hard parts there were were really hard.
