| Final Fantasy XII Presumably the last "main" game to be released on the PS2, FF12 broke the tradition of Battle Screens. It was also the sixth game ever to receive a perfect 40/40 score from the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu. |

The Final Boss.
As we all know, Final Fantasy XII revolutionised the way that we battle in Final Fantasy games, excluding Kingdom Hearts. With this difference, how did you find the final bosses in XII compared to the typical (chain of) boss battles in other instalments? Your answer can be inclusive of other factors, for example, do the final bosses of XII qualify to you as memorable bosses? Were they too easy/difficult? Were the cutscenes helpful in adding to the excitement, or just too much?

I found the final bosses rather dissapointing really, all of them, except for The Undying, weren't the epically huge monsters we're used to fighting as the final boss - compare Gabranth and Vayne to the likes of Safer Sephiroth, Necron, and Braskas Final Aeon...they're kind of a letdown.

However, the final boss levels up along with you, so it should be a small challenge at all times. I don't like the fact that Vayne is some karate hand-to hand fighter. It didn't seem right to use his fists.

I distinctly remember Lisa and I having a few more posts here. Why have they been deleted?

There are no deletion notices, and only admins can hard delete posts.
You're clearly thinking of another thread. Don't ruin these. ;D

Well, as far as The Undying goes, he was pretty challenging at first but after awhile it had gotten easy.
Not many bosses I remember having a very hard time on, actually.
Elder Worm, Tiamat...meh, that's all I can remember.

The final boss actually gave me a hard time. >.> I think it took me 2 - 3 tries to finally defeat him, and it was a long battle. I thought I was going to die every five minutes, but managed to cure my characters just on time.
I guess what made it more difficult for me is the fact that the characters are actually movable and not your typical attack-stand still-attack. Having the characters move as well as the boss felt like there were a lot more things going on as you hurriedly try to cast magic spells and such. What's the word...overwhelming? Yes, it was quite overwhelming on my part.

What i can't stand, is that he had planet-destroying animations like gigaflare sword and Terraflare....only to do 2000 damage.
