They need to adjust the NPC decks like they were set up in FFVIII.

FFVIII NPC: "Okay, random rule...I'll pull out all these low level cards and MAYBE that card I have you really want."

There was no "always going to be these awesome cards" BS, the cards were ALWAYS random in FFVIII's Triple Triad when the random rule was up. They need to do that here too. Random should be random for everybody, including the NPCs.
