Of Boss Fights That Never End

Split-screen writes: "Sylphet from BtL, after taking on another boss that undoubtedly caused maternity officials to collapse laughing at their naming (Pandemonium Warden), says the developer should think real hard about their Final Fantasy XI pre-game warning that states, 'We have no desire to see your real life suffer as a consequence. Don't forget your family, your friends, your school or your work.' Maybe they left out, 'and your health' on purpose.

"How long is too long for a boss fight? Take a look at some of these beings of supreme mortality who forgot to include 'dying gracefully' to their resumes."

1.2 - @Relcom, about Ozma from ff9
find all friendly monsters and he can be hit with physical attacks.

also, since he only has 60k~ hp, he can literally be killed in 2 turns if all of your chars can pull off 9999 hits before they die....

They forgot "The End" from MGS3, as well.

How a boss fight which always comes up during these kinds of discussions NOT come up on this list is beyond me.

Maybe they didn't like The End due to the ability to kill him with age. I suppose that makes the boss fight last a week, though, if you're counting the time the console is off.

2 - About Yiazmat...
The sad part is Square-Enix/Squaresoft has a horrifying rep for creating long boss battles, so i thought it'd be better to just name a few and ask every one if they felt the same or would recommend other such bosses to hate.

The only one that took me hours was the last.

The one you mentioned was a pain in the ass, too, though.

Yeah, he was cool. I loved those parts where you could decide to fight him early. The scary thing was you could never be sure if you would actually fight him or not. Coward that I was, I took no chances. Though, that probably woulda meant not fighting his Gigas form in the end. -_-;;
