Final Boss. What is that?

[crazybayman]

I agree that it's a shame that the final bosses don't equate to even remotely hard anymore. I remember back in the day when the final bosses were the toughest of the tough and fighting them was epic. Now it's just a small fly swatting between me and a final cut scene.

Yup. Trying fighting Chaos in FF1 without at least leveling up to anywhere from level 27 to 30. Or even trying to get to him for that matter

The final bosses are easy compared to optional bosses because they're meant to be hard at the level you would be at from just following the storyline, and not doing any major level grinding or sidequests. Optional bosses are meant to be hard at a level if you DO decide to level grind and do sidequests.

But because of all the fun sidequests and extras, the final bosses do usually wind up being a joke. Then again, its only us hardcore FF fans who do ALL the sidequests and ALL the level grinding. A good percentage of FF gamers are those who just want to do the main storyline, take on the mediocre challenge of the final boss at reasonable character levels, and not be bothered with the countless hours of level grinding.
