Find the eidolon fights in FFXIII "hard" compared to the rest? *spoilers*

Seriously, this game is so easy... However, when you get to the eidolon fights, the game ramps up in difficulty like noones business.  Best I can compare it to is Demon's Souls vs Demon's Souls NG

Well, above analogy doesn't really work, because DS was hard on 1st playthrough :)

Odin spanked my ass about 10 times before I said wtf and had to go online to look for a strat, my characters crystalium were maxxed and still died a ton.  Just finished the brynhildr fight and holy crap, another tough fight...

Maybe they aren't really hard, just the rest of the game is very simple?  I mean, I can button-mash for most of the fights, but actually have to think for the eidolon fights.

Your thoughts?

use sols to get through these fights. I didn't find Snow's that hard, but Odin was a nightmare. Used a sol to buff before battle and did quick shifts between commando / ravager and dualcast.

Sols?
