That's what makes it even stranger I think; the game is otherwise reasonably difficult up to that point, even more so if you were new to JRPGs. Maybe the designers felt that it would be nice to give us a easy fight at the end... a sort of "victory lap" in JRPG form. I dunno though, it probably would've been better to end the game with the fight againstWitty Name Here said:
Personally i think the all the forms of the last boss from the first kingdom hearts were pathetically weak. I was having a bit of trouble with the riku fight, or some boss near there, and looked around for some info on the boss and found people recommending to be level 60 to 70 or up for the last boss and when i got there, at level 52 i believe, i ended up taking quick note of his attack patterns and then just mopped the floor with all of his forms. I think the keyblade i was using was Oblivion. it was the one in the room where riku was. Even when the last boss was in it's final form i thought "oh? is it finally gonna feel like a final boss?" and then ended up just wrecking his health bar and he did the phase two thing and i thought, "Oh? maybe now it will be a bit stronger." and then rinse and repeat to the third and final phase where i thought, "Two disappointing fights with this for, do i hear three?" and then ended up slaughtering the boss befor proceeding to sigh and say, "Yup, i was expecting a boss battle and got a slaughter fest. Well time to sit through this cutscene and then the credits and move on to another game.sovietmisaki said:
Apparently he was a joke boss referencing some kind of Japanese festival game. And while personally I love the pinwheel boss fight (watching Leeroy get shit done doesn't get old) I can easily see how some people where disappointed, especially when he's holding such an important item as the rite of kindling. He's got some good lore though, check out Vaatividya's lore series on YouTube.epikAXE said:
I think that was because Diablo is made for more playthroughs while ramping up the difficulty. You wouldn't survive him at later encounters, if he was super mega tough on the easiest diffculty.Childe said:
The final EXALT mission is just as bad, it's just...da da da...more EXALT guys! They didn't even have the decency to throw in a giant omnicidal robot..then again, it didn't really matter as they got barely any character development and felt like more of a nuisance than a legitimate threat.Aeshi said:

Can't regard Earthworm Jim and not go unnoticed.
OT: The final boss of the Playstation 2(Maybe PS3, I dunno) version of Kingdom Hearts: Rechain of Memories. On the GBA version, the final boss was suitably difficult, he was time consuming, but that was okay, because it was a final battle. On PS2, He never hit me. I literally spent all of about seven or eight minutes and beat the fight. That's so stupid that a port to another system renders the final boss absolutely useless, but I did it. It's making me wait until Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out to care about KH, but at least it told me that spinoffs of this particular series aren't really important to play.
Also:
Emperor Doviculous in Brutal Legend. Perhaps it was made easier by the fact I collected all the dragon statues which built my stats up considerably by the time I got to that fight, but on the Hard difficulty, I never died from him.
I know it's not quite the final boss of Cataclysm, but the Spine of Deathwing on heroic was maddening for my guild; we had well over 100 attempts before we FINALLY killed it. Though yeah, Heroic Madness was a joke compared to Heroic Spine; that was roughly ten attempts for us before our first kill.Instigo said:
xD seriously! I clicked this topic and immediately did a search for all iterations of Final Fantasy X. Nothing on the first page, so I started thinking "no frickin' way has no one brought this up yet..." Thankfully you did bring it up, though it is very surprising that no one in the 67 posts before yours mentioned it. And your spoiler box hits pretty much exactly what I was going to say: Yevon is a giant floating tick (I'm guessing to signify that he's a parasite on the world) and it's impossible to lose to him unless you kill your own party TWICE. What's that? Not easy enough for you? Well how about the fact that he only attacks with gravity attacks ensuring that your party will get low on health and be able to use their limit breaks pretty much every single turn!Simple Bluff said:
Well, that's still better than the very last boss.SanguiniusMagnificum said:
