What level were you at when you beat Vegnagun? That might give some insight to your opinion of this boss fight, because many (including myself) don't share your feelings. Maybe you used a different strategy too. I don't know, I personally haven't had a difficult ending boss fight since Skeith in .hack/INFECTION (which I did last night).Originally Posted by Seryn Kai
All my characters were hitting Lvl45/50 when I got to Vegnagun, I was using a Garment Grid which allowed me to double the HP/MP of each character, Rikku's Machina Maw had HP Boost or whatever it's called, and I was using the Maw to nuke Vegna with lasers, also alternating to Floral Fallal and Full Throttle. I constantly needed to heal both myself and my backup attacks on the special garments with heal commands, one slipup and I was cannon fodder for Shuyin and my other two character would have to heal the knocked out ally which took time I didn't always have. Rikku using 'Maw had 9999HP by the time I fought 'Gun's head. The only thing that enabled me to fight against such overwhelming odds was the fact my party was healed in between fights. I seem to recall my supply of 99 Phoenix Downs was running frightfully low by the time I fought Shuyin. Thankfully Shuyin wasn't quite as powerfull as Vegnagun and didn't have two backup allies to support him like 'Gun's Core and Head had. Could someone who overwhelmed Vegnagun please tell me how you beat such an awe inspiring opponent so easily. I just can't believe it.
to be honest i have never known a last boss as easy as vegnegun.

Seryn Kai, I see the flaw in your strategy. Well, it's not really a flaw, it's just not using the game mechanics to their fullest extent. The special dress spheres are good and bad at the same time. They are good because they can do a lot of damage and give status ailments you don't have access to until later in the game (i.e. confuse). But they are bad because they take away the ability to perform multiple attacks at once, but you still let the enemy have that ability. To have the three girls on the field at once is much more powerful than using the special dress spheres. I only ever used the special dress spheres when I was in a bind and I only had one girl left standing. To all the girls on the field attacking at once, or even two girls attacking and one healing, just works better and faster. Faster is especially important because the battle system in this game is based in large part of speed and thinking on your toes. Give that battle another try (if you have a save file), use Yuna as a Dark Knight, Paine as a Berserker, and Rikku as an Alchemist, and see how you fair.
SeedRankLou- Thanks, I knew I must be doing something wrong. The rest of X-2 was so easy, yet the end bosses so hard. HP was the main problem, and I used Special garments as a means of shielding my other two characters. I initially used Dark Knights for the tail and the leg, but after HP became an increasing problem, I used 'Maw instead. If I had competed in the Sphere Break Tournament I could have gotten the Alchemist sphere, but I forgot about the tourn during my frantic attempt to find out more about Vegnagun and Bevelle. I didn't get he Beserker either due to my momentary lack of memory. It's shamefull, usually my memory's good. Next time, I'll try your combo. I'm gonna start again soon to try and get Tidus back for real rather than as a ghost memory.
