Speaking to Chaco (the purple one) makes the other mimigas have hearts above them after the second fight so there is some healing but holy crap that final boss attack spam is fun and crazy

I honestly have a hard time beating most JRPGs because of that shit at the end of the game. Not that it's hard, it's just that the end game/final dungeon of 99% of all JRPGs is nothing but a boring slog that I don't like playing.

Yugioh Forbidden Memories had a fucking gauntlet of guys you had to beat in one perfect run with losing once. And some of them specifically Seto 3 YOU FUCKING CHEATER are outright bullshit.

I've never met another person who finished that game.

Do you hate yourself or something? I've never been able to beat Duelist of the Roses as a kid.

Fuck Rogue Galaxy. You can even knock the boss down to 10% health before it just stops dropping. In retrospect that game was kinda garbage.

I should have been aware it was one of those battles, but I still fought harder then I needed to.

Don't you know anything?

Short, balding, perverted old men who live in seclusion make up the upper 1% of all power levels in Japanese games.

The only reason you even beat them is by being either the chosen one or fighting him when he's only using a fraction of his power to test your might.

It almost killed my resolve to beat Xenoblade Chronicles.

> Story demands that your character dies
> Almost always kills you off in a cutscene or something instead of having you fight till you die

I wish more games did this.
