Default FFX wasn't an easy game (possible spoilers)

(this thread may contain spoilers)







People say FFX is easy because they can beat major bosses in 3 hits. Well that is easy, but you need special hidden weapons(and aeons) to do this. People get these weapons by asking other people and reffering to guides (online or otherwise).

If these same people would play the game without extra help would they get these weapons and aeons? Not likely. Without them the game is pretty hard, actually very hard.

I played the game without refering to a guide and could not beat the 4th last boss without getting help and getting a special aeon (Anima). Without Anima I would not have beaten the game at all.

IMO the celestial weapons and extra aeons are mean't to be secrets, not common knowledge (I'd go as far to say they were cheats). The reason FFX is so "easy" is because everyone knows about it.

Videos (in genreal) have become easier, one of the reasons is we have the internet to refer too.
