I have played Final Fantasy 7, 9, Tactics, and have recently started 4 (after which I will begin ChronoTrigger). In all three of aforementioned beaten games, the final bosses suck. I can kill Safer Sephiroth in a few turns with 4xCut.

Whatshisface, from FF9, I have to admit caused me trouble the first time through because I was unprepared for all the status effects, but even so Freija just kept using Lancer over and over (LANCERS ROCK!) and he fell after the 100th or so Lancer. (Good thing, his latest attack left her with a Death Sentence count of 2 and she was the only one left.) Second time I fought him I came properly equipped and made short work of him.

That ArchAngel boss thing from Tactics was a nuiscance, but no more.

And another thing--why do final bosses always appear in pairs? BIZZARO/SAFER Sephiroth, Kuja/whatshisface (someone please remind me of the names), the two demon/archangel forms... are they so weak they have to band together to (try to) survive?
