The Ultimate Super Boss

[aeris2001x2]

ohh i see. that sort of super boss could be so annoying. i remember Hyne from ffIII, Sephimorph from ffX and Protagen Gel from ffX-2 were horrible for this reason. and they were only normal bosses

[Ultima Shadow]

Yea... maybe it shouldn't... after all I don't want it to be ANNOYING, only hard. But what if the boss had like 8 ARMS that need to be killed with different elemental spells? THAT would be more fun.

[aeris2001x2]

yeah, that would be good. so far only normal bosses have employed such a thing. so many possibilties. i hope ffXII delivers...

[Ultima Shadow]

True. I await FFXII (without patience )
FFXII, FFXII, FFXII!!!! FFXII...

[aeris2001x2]

i wonder if ffXI has any super bosses? though since there is no LAST boss, i dont know how that would work...

according to Play.com, ffXII is out in UK Ist Feb 2005...wishful thinking???

Then play Golden SunII and try to beat Dullahan. He's a mix of Ozma and Penance. But he's still a little weaker than Penance.

[aeris2001x2]

yep that would be good. an OZMA that stays in permenant *Penance*mode and does not have a *Bite Bug* mode(though if it used the ffIX battle System, then it would be impossible to beat, throwing Meteor/Curse combo after Meteor/curse combo ).

ahh, the illustrious Dullahan...damn i must fight him...

[Ultima Shadow]

GS use CTB. Dullahans weakest attacks are Instant death to 1 character (may miss depending on characters luck) and a move that reduce all your characters defense (may miss some of the characters). Oh, and I THINK he had something similar to doom. What makes him so much stronger than Ozma is his high HP + while he could have different mods, he will still NEVER be somethin weaker than the hardest battle in the game.

What I want is something like him that takes about as long as Penance to beat and never have a weaker mode. Just different tactics.

Well, I would like a super boss that you should NOT only attack with pshycical attacks or limmitbreaks but also with different types of magic. Like Phantom in KH. Why not steal a key-item in the battle that you have to use on the boss instead of stealing weapons?

I'm just now seeing this (sorry).
Well, if it was like I said before, and MP was permanently drained, then you wouldn't be able to use magic anyway. If it didn't drain MP, then maybe, but still, I'd prefer it to be an equipment item, so you don't have control over the strength of the weapon you use, and it would render everyone but that one character useless for attacking.

Well, the main reason I want "magic based super bosses" is that I almost never use black magic. I find black magic to be extremely weak in most of the FFs. Therefore I want a superboss that you need to use black magic to beat. I want to use Black magic more often! I enjoyed the battles in FFIV more than in many of the other FFs since black magic actually was usefull in that game.
