optional bosses?

[omnislasher]

what are the optional bosses in this game? I found doomtrain, but I dont really know anything else besides him.

[m4tt]

Ghost train isn't really an optional boss.. since you have to fight it to continue in the game.

Most of the bosses in the World of Ruin are optional.

[TheAbominatrix]

Do you mean Doomgaze?

There's the 7 Dragons, the bosses of Cyan's dreams, Umaro... pretty much everything in the WoR is optional, anyway.

[-N-]

Yeah, everything except the events leading up to the Falcon and Kefka's Tower is optional.

[crono_logical]

Weren't there 8 dragons?

[TheAbominatrix]

Is it 8? Ya know I've forgotten. You're probably right. Damn my muddled mind.

[Strider]

Eight, to unleash Crusader.

[aeris2001x2]

yep, and the sad thing is...not ONE of them is a super boss! oh why is ffVI so easy square?

[Outsider]

The only bosses that are optional before you get the Falcon are Gigantos and Presenter, I guess.

[omnislasher]

yea, I originally meant doomgaze. is it worth it killing the 8 dragons?

[crono_logical]

I kill them anyway :p

[Flying Mullet]

Killing a dragon typically gets you a rare piece of equipment or item. Killing all eight dragons earns you the esper Crusader, from whom you can learn Merton (not as good as Ultima) and Meteor and he gives MP + 50% at level-up.

Especially since Merton hits everyone. Meteor is good, especially after turning Odin into Raiden.
