I shit my pants when this happened in Okami.
I thought it was cool in Asura's Wrath, too, because it both felt like Chakravartin had the same agency to determine the fate of the world as not just Asura, but as the player, yet he also started feeling vulnerable because he needed to use QTEs in the first place instead of just automatically winning.

You go through all these wicked, monstrous demons and then it all ends with the first boss who is also your master but is consumed with corruption by using the blade that is opposite of yours.
As cliche as this was, and even with the fore-shadowing at the beginning, I wasn't expecting this.
>Boss becomes a regular enemy immediately after their fight
>>336434003
I never really thought about it before, but now I really appreciate how in Bloodborne, being captured by the bag men and brought to an entire new area only happens if you're actually killed by one in gameplay. Which is likely because they hit like a truck, unlike all the other enemies you're used to in the vicinity.
Though if you happen to be really good at the game, that actually punishes you because you don't get to see the area, but oh well.

To be fair, that stage was pretty short, kill like 5 enemies, do a little, somewhat nice platforming in an area you might have noticed had Swingshot balls for a WHILE, and the fact you could never map it out cause of the transport, makes it somewhat interesting instead of just 'Why the fuck."

But the boss must also have hype as fuck music that encourages you to keep on going and gets you fucking motivated and to make it even better, the boss fight must occur in a fucking memorable and cool as fuck arena of sorts that sets the mood.

I've been thinking of TiTS: FC, since I played it recently. Managed to beat Lorence with a few nicely timed critical attacks.
I don't remember having problems with bosses in Symphonia, though that was quite some time ago.
