| My biggest complaint though, is without a main villian all we got for a final boss is some floating, brainless rock that had all the challenge and intimidation of an imp. Honestly, the whole "having to kill your Aeons and then face the final boss" was a good gimmick, really good, it would have made the final boss probabaly one of the hardest in Final Fantasy history, harder than Ultimecia where you lose the ability to use Overdrives (they already didn't let you have Aeons out for more than 1 turn against bosses before they are 1-hit killed) and then have to face a challenging final boss.
It was sad because we got some good lead up to it too, first we fight Seymour Omnis, then we have to fight Braska's Final Aeon and then . . . gloating spider rock with glowing symbol while we all have Auto-Life . . . yay? I have no qualsm with what they were doing, trying to keep the real villian of the game more ambiguous, that's fine, I just think the game should have delivered us a real final challenge, instead of leaving it the way it did and having it frankly be almost insulting. We just played our way through the entire game! We beat Yunalesca, Jecht, and Seymour and then they pull the last punch, I just wanted something more epic and breathtaking, not a floating piece of rubble. |
