I want a challenge from boss battles in current games.

You forget normal monsters are like mini-bosses, and a boss can appear as mini-boss two hours into game later. There's an achievement for dying 100 times...kman123 said:
OT: Megaman Zero 1, 2, 3 on GBA, Megaman Battle Network 1 and 3, bonus bosses in Shin Megami games (and some normal ones - still have nightmares after the bird duo from Digital Devil 1).
Ah yes, Bel. But I think the attack MC uses against him is level-reliant, not Stat-reliant. I made a pure magic guy and dealt a lot of damage late-game (second time you fight him) with no physical on myself.RaikuFA said:

That's why I enjoy playing RPGs because most bosses have some sort of buff or cause your party a debuff that makes the fight more complex and difficult, regardless of level, equipment, abilities, or skills. This makes you think about the battle ahead and prepare for it appropriately rather than wasting your time level grinding so that your party causes a huge chunk of damage before the boss has a chance to kill you off.
The best thing about these fights is that once you are victorious, you learn some techniques from the boss that you may not have thought of yourself and you can implement them on another fight.

Actually, the way I handled it was even simpler than that. See, I wouldn't want to walk away because anything could happen. I used mime to mimic something more fun: Limit Breaks. And by the time you hit Emerald Weapon, it's almost guaranteed you have good ones because you had to progress through the game that far. In short, at the cost of no more grind than you would to get as far as you did in the game, you carry even LESS materia and play a fun little defensive game where Emerald gets smacked harder than it delivered.Jennacide said:You only need to survive a single attack before you go into auto-murder mode. Equip everyone with Counter+Mime (which you won't need to grind for, they master very easily) and start the fight with W-Summon KOTR. Then stand there and let her stomp you once, ta-dah, you now have 6 recasts of KOTR queued up, which she won't survive. Walk away from your console for about 15min, as it takes a while.FalloutJack said:Actually, it's not the grind that is wrong. It's bothering much with the materia. You DO need to be some high of levels in order to survive the attacks Emerald throws at you, or you can just forget the whole thing. The thing is that messing with the materia is the trap. Go in with very little of it and you stand a better chance. And incidentally, I DID beat the bugger, so I kinda' know of what I speak.Jennacide said:>emerald weapon
>grinding
Teehee. You're doing it wrong.
If there is any grinding, it's doing the goofy chocobo breeding to get KOTR.
And Ruby! That's a fun time. It can be paralyzed!
I don't really use KOTR, it feels kind of cheap. I mostly use Omni-Slash Ungermax and Final Attack materia with Phoenix to stay alive. It's pretty damn hard but possibleJennacide said:You only need to survive a single attack before you go into auto-murder mode.

the god of war and kingdom hearts series have had some decent boss battle, but if your bitching that u want more boss battles, just go play shadow of the colossus, if u find a character to fight that isnt a boss, your playing the wrong game
Ninja Gaiden is one of my favorite games of all time
If your looking into getting then definately go for the ps3 versions
Unless your a gore junky the Ps3 games were far superior to their xbox counterparts.
The original dissidia could be quite a pest at times due to the fact that it took so long to unlock decent equipment which could deal a grand total of 'shit all' damage whilst your opponent could break you in one combo.
The new one was pretty easy say for the ridiculously high level desperado chaos... that took me a couple of days.
Thought of another game
Ototgi
Very epic with excellent bosses
