Final battle: I agree with BoB that it was not hard nor should it be. I like some challenge for a last boss but it shouldn’t be the hardest fight of the game. It’s more about the emotion and spectacle which this gave off greatly. The part where Ultima summoned every Eikon’s powers and Clive countered with his own was amazing. The actual Eikon battle was too confusing with so much screen filling attacks and that we were in space.

Ending: I did not like it. It still doesn’t make sense to me why they did what they did, other than to stop Ultima who is evil. The post magic world in the epilogue doesn’t seem so great. Clive dying also doesn’t seem to leave a satisfactory end to his story but at least it fit the plot. I wish we saw
More about how the hideout characters got on after the finale and how this world rebuilt. This world did not give me enough to care about it.

General: The game was fun. The story and dialogue were some of the best written in FF. I agree it felt more like an FF in the last third. The fighting was very fluid for an action game though I wish there were some non action ways to win battles. I also wish there was more than fighting or wandering for the quests and activities.
