The Cave to the Sealed Gate...

[Umaro_Smash]

...Needed a boss.

Some powerful magic-wielding esper out of control or something. Hell, or even Ultros. :P

That cave had some of the most ridiculus random encounters in the entire game, and it was annoyingly long if you wanted to collect all the treasures. I feel it was difficult enough without a boss at the end.

[Wolf Kanno]

Not to mention the optional early encounter with the Ninja. Still, it may have been nice to make the battle with Kefka a little more official.

[Vermachtnis]

A sylph should have showed up. See them running around the village, but you never get one as a magicite.

[Christmas]

Or add some dancing girls. They are more entertaining than bosses.

Christ, I honestly think that Ninja scarred me in my youth. I still vividly remember the first time I ran into it and got destroyed. Ah to be 9 again.

I agree. A multi-boss battle would have been cool too. Like (SPOILER)the 2 Behemoth in the cave on the veldt. As if espers would try to protect the gate.

I agree that it was annoying long to get all the treasures, but there's a difference between random encounters and a boss fight, no matter how tough they are.

I agree, plus the cave had a place to save and use a tent, so it wasn't as hard as it could have been.

Plus, that cave can be ridiculously easy if you stock up on fenix down before taking it on.

[Mirage]

Or a cheaper alternative, revivfy/holy water

[Flying Mullet]

Or an even cheaper alternative, run.


(SPOILER)Or the cheapest alternative, use a cheat! Cuz', you know, cheating is cheap!

[Umaro_Smash]

Maybe it felt like the Cave needed a boss was because the only real boss fight from the Cave to the Sealed Gate until Ultros/Chupon/AirForce on the way to the Floating Continent was the FlameEater, which was way too easy if you had Ice 2 or Ice Rod's to go along with Aqua Rake.

I don't count Ultros v.3 because it's really more of a introduction to Relm/the Sketch ability than an actual boss fight.

[Greatermaximus]

It's one of those places that you feel like you miss something to get. Despite my extensive play, I don't know what that Ninja meant when you beat him?

Is he talking about something in the cave? I guess I could faq.

[The Turk]

Isn't the Ninja talking about the two hidden items on the floor that you can't see?

[Saber]

There is four buried treasures in the sealed gate all round the same area. That's what he is refering to.
