I started it in like February. I had been before the final boss wanting to do the optional boss, but decided f* that not worth it.

It was kinda meh. The gameplay was torture for me. The story was cute but didn't make much sense when looked at too closely.

Square Enix basically posited a lot of bullshit and left it for the fans to weave it together. I do like the central theme of the game, which is existentialism. The game play is classic Final Fantasy to me, abeit much more plodding because they forgot to turn the gameplay sliders up.

I mean nothing specific about the story was a bad idea, it just wasn't complete. Some serious parts came of as extremely corny as a result.

I accidentally killed Ozma in like 5 minutes. I was blessed hardcore by RNGesus if I recall. The other optional boss.. I think Hades? Wasn't too bad either.

The major flaw in this game is the battle speed.

Last time I played, I, too, killed Ozma by accident.

I couldn't remember what I needed to equip and decided to go in once as a test, preparing to die, and I beat him....quite easily.

Why is every boss a pushover?
That's the main reason I didn't care about the optional guy. I killed Hades pretty easily. Sure he could one shot my characters, which doesn't really matter with auto life and curaga.

Ozma has not a lot of life. The idea behind the fight was that 1) you couldn't attack him with most weapons unless you did the size quests and it was designed to be able to beat him without doing the sidequests, and 2) Ozma was supposed to do enough damage and other debilitating status effects that you'd have to stop and heal repeatedly instead of attacking.

However, since he casts Doomsday a lot, if you walk in with shadow absorb, all you need is esuna and he'll basically kill himself.

That said I think he's harder than the FF7 Emerald / Ruby.

That's rose tinted glasses to me.

You have to go out of your way to fight Ozma and even so get a chance to back out.

Both Emerald and Ruby just appear with no chance to back out if you touch them.

And Ruby starts with an auto FUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOU attack that you'll only know is coming if someone told you.

Ruby and Emerald have extremely predictable patterns.

Ozma is basically all random and has a chance to take two simultaneous turns. If both of those turns are meteor, it's an instant party wipe unless you have auto life.

Whoopdie fucking do

Ruby starts off the battle ejecting your party unless 2 are already dead.

So you need to know that going in. You don't go in knowing patterns.

Ozma has nothing like that.

FFVII did the same thing with a boss that starts off doing an attack that does 9998 damage to everyone.

I was about to post that Ruby and Emerald are basically just dances once you realize their patterns after a wipe or two whereas Ozma is pure RNG. With that said, all 3 bosses are very easy to beat compared to other RPG bosses.

Doesnt Ozma have some stuff you wanna steal though?

Also every time I get to the final boss it ends up being trance Steiner saving the day.

He's got some of the best rewards in the game, but like you're OP already by this point so it's only a matter of completionism.

You can beat Ruby solo and it was designed around doing so.

You can also use KotR without the automatic counter which you can't do against Emerald.

It has been a while but I thought that healed bosses.

Giz is a special case. A snake crawls into the tent (lmao imagine a tent big enough for him) and bites him and he becomes afflicted with a buttload of status effects

He isn't special, 2/3 of the game bosses get fucked by a tent. There are only like 5 bosses in the game that are immune to all crippling status effects. Most others are dealt with easily using a combo of elemental absorb/status immunity. I think there were only like 2 fights in the game that I thought were remotely challenging.

i beat it when it first came out and it's still my favorite FF game. i need to replay it sometime.

the optional boss didn't take that much time. i beat him at like level 70 but then also beat him with all my level 40 characters that didn't even have the best weapons and he was still easy. and that was when i was like 13. if they ever remake it they should up the difficulty a little.

lots of FF games have a similar thing you can do with Remedy.

FF8 kinda streamlined the process and just gave you a train that you can run over people with including the final boss.

FF 9 isn't my absolute favorite FF, but yes, this is a true statement. It's also the first minigame I completed as a kid without the aid of a player's guide (lololol PlayOnline.com), so it felt like quite an accomplishment.

I know FF12 had that accessory where it reverses curatives into ailments so you could throw a remedy at something and fuck them up

But it's just the idea that you use a tent on an enemy. Like seriously, who would've casually thought to do that if we were never told? Lol
