I was shitting my pants and then laughed at the damage it did in the end. Everytime after that thought I just turned to my computer and read forums.

It was cool the first time, then I just wanted the ride to stop

Was impressed the first time, but then laughed at the animation being the exact same the second time he used it.

And that's when I discovered that supernova is just a gravity spell in disguise.

I was intimidated, then laughed because it really didn't do that much.

Then he did it again, and it was unskippable, and I wanted it to stop.

Damn though, Sephiroth was a chump. Easiest boss in FF history (assuming we're counting Jecht and not Yu Yevon). I had just got done playing V and VI when I fought him so I was expecting something... more.

One time I beat Safer Sephiroth by having Cloud use the Throw Materia to toss his Ultima Weapon at him, then mimed it until he had died.

Is there a post-SNES Final Fantasy that actually had hard bosses?

>> No.412245

>>412210
The Weapons in that game, haven't complete VIII, not much in IX, the Colosseum in X, and XII actually has decent bosses that are part of the story. XIII made me sad inside.

>> No.412282

>>412245

the weapons are more gimmicky than hard. e.g. not equipping most materia for emerald, or that BS move that removes your characters from your party against ruby.

Yiazmat in XII was frustrating because of his gorillion HP but wasn't really hard.

I didn't find Supernova that scary the first time. I just thought it was ridiculous as fuck.

Goner was the one that had me shitting my pants when I first saw it. Kefka taunts you with a cryptic one-liner, laughs, makes the screen start shaking for a turn, then HOLY SHIT WHAT IS HAPPENING WHY IS THE SCREEN RED OH FUCK. Killed my whole party the first time I saw it. I didn't want to face him for ages.

Well, next time I faced him I had a better party with better equipment, and it only did like 2000+ damage, so I thought it was a laughable spell. See, Goner has the highest magic power of any spell in the game, but unlike spells like Ultima, it doesn't ignore magic defense, so good equipment mitigates a lot of its damage output, so unless you don't know what you're doing, it likely won't do shit.

I was so overpowered by that point that I usually killed him before he even got a turn.
I let do it once just out of pity. And then killed him.

See this is why Kefka is better than Sephiroth. All of Kefka's moves can actually kill you. There are no gimmicky cutscene moves.

>> No.412515

I'm usually disappointed by JRPG final bosses.

You know they're going to be some eldritch pile of nonsense, that has no real explanation or purpose with a fucking choir singing ominously and you have to kill this god using the power of friendship or whatever.

Yiazmat was hard in the sense that it hurt your fingers after playing for so long

Fallen One/Heartless Angel can't kill you. It's still a powerful spell, though, especially if you're not on the ball.
