Trails of Cold Steel II is pretty bad about this There's a very clear "final battle" and then the Epilogue throws in a dungeon with basically no plot significance as a "send-off" so that you don't end with a few hours of cutscenes/sidequests They literally even say that even if you didn't do anything the final boss and dungeon would have gone away on its own and Class 7 is like "nah we gonna kill it anyway for old times sake" lmao What a weird final bit that game had <cite>tcaz2 posted [p:966915530] in What games...

Paratroopa1 07/29/22 4:25:28 AM #47:	MacArrowny posted... This topic is incredibly poorly worded. There are plenty of games with 'out of nowhere' final bosses because the games don't have a story. It should specifically be for games that have a villain you fight throughout, only to be replaced by something bizarre at the end. Well you clearly understood what he meant so I don't see the problem <cite>Paratroopa1 posted [p:966915898] in What games...
