Right, so I just fought another one of those bosses in FFX that I'd heard was supposed to be really hard. That is, the dragon Evrae, which you fight while on top of Cid's airship. But come now; unless people are going into the fight with characters a lot less powerful than mine are -- and I haven't been leveling up at all -- I don't see how that fight could possibly be as hard as it seemed to be made out in the help threads I'd read. Seriously, what's wrong with you people? ^_~
Really, the only thing that could've made the fight hard was Evrae's Poison Breath attack, but I could take care of the poison effect and the damage at the same time simply by having Rikku use an Al Bhed potion. And what makes it even easier is that you get a one turn warning that Evrae is going to use that attack, so you can heal up and make sure Rikku is ready with a potion. So basically, that attack wasn't a threat. At all.
The attack that was most threatening to me was actually its normal hits. They would do around 1,300 damage per hit (though only to a single character) which, for everyone besides Auron, is at least half their total HP. But again, there's an easy counter for this: Wakka's Dark Attack, which causes blindness. Once I started keeping Evrae blinded all the time, I noticed it stopped using physical attacks as often.
In the end, then, Evrae was no harder for me than any of the other boss battles in the game. Changing between close- and long-range combat during the fight was interesting, however. . . . Though I was disappointed at how little the missile salvo did. Two attacks from Auron would've equalled it.
So I say again: Booyah.
