An individual boss’ difficulty comes down to a number of factors, including player level and story significance. Look, I’m not suggesting that Final Fantasy should make its final boss fights nearly impossible to win, nor am I saying that mid-bosses should be toned down for rookie players. Many of these require players to put hours into seemingly unrelated quest lines in order to unlock the one accessory or spell that will help them defeat the challenging boss - I’m looking at you, Emerald Weapon. But the grinding nature of JRPGs allows players to over-prepare for their final boss battles, sometimes even taking on super bosses before facing down the primary antagonist, and so a fight that might have been a challenge many levels ago is neutralized to a few hacks and slashes.įinal Fantasy also features many optional and mid-bosses capable of absolutely destroying a party that isn’t fully prepared. That’s frustrating in and of itself, simply because these are the baddies we’ve been drawn into hating throughout the course of the game.
Unfortunately, many of Final Fantasy’s final bosses fall on the weak end of the spectrum. But while the Japanese RPG franchise is known for its high-end graphics, forward-thinking battle systems, and charismatic Big Bads, the boss fights in each game have run the gamut from pushover to impossible.

Every good role-playing game worth its salt has at least one memorable boss fight, and Final Fantasy series installments are no exception.
