So, having been at work all week, I haven't had much chance to play it until I put in an hour yesterday. I'm thinking "Ha, I know RPGs like no-one knows RPGs, I don't have to save until time to shut the game off." So, I'm just starting to get tired and I see a save point. I decide to go to bed and make a beeline for the save point.

Boss fight.

No problem, right? I know RPGs. No mere boss is going to make an end of me. After all, 2 of my characters are immortals, right? They can't be killed.

Boss: Oh yeah? Watch.

I got me arse handed to me. Not even on a silver platter. More like a styrofoam plate.

Apparently, though, at E3 or one of those other gaming shows, Hironobu Sakaguchi demo'd Lost Odyssey and lost to the same boss, so I don't feel too bad.
