I sucked too, but it gradually gets easier to do, while at the same time it increases in difficulty. You'll be like, hey I got the timing of the double tap now, and boom they throw you a triple tap. You'll get drag easy and then they give a quick and short double drag your not expecting and follow it with crazy tap combos. Really, it's a great game.
Edit: I heard FF3 was very old school and for harcore gamers. It actually sounds annoying that you run into a battle every 3 steps but I'm sure it's something I could handle.
