Shadow Lord has been defeated. I fell into my usual FF curse of always getting killed by the final boss at least once, but that was due to the game being weird about when I could summon Trusts and some unwritten rule that says I can't summon Trusts I had before I enter the boss room.So the first attempt ended poorly. A-Team on the other hand decimated him. The story bits around the final battle and afterwards were neat and he was an interesting boss that was very reminiscent of The Undying from XII, just less flashy and with physical pailings that last 2x longer than I would care for.
Afterwards, I watched my Rank 6 cutscene, collected a ton of Trusts, and got this over with. My only remaining tasks is to do a few missions for Shantatto to get her initial Trust (though Shantatto II is better) and retire my poor Chocobo so whenever I come back to this game, I won;t have to deal with the heartbreak of the Chocobo ranchers berating me about how I'm an bad Chocobo Owner and they had to confiscate poor Autumn Ghost away from me.
So once those tasks are done, I'll put this game to rest for awhile. My next post will likely be my final thoughts on the whole experience.
