I don't really mind it when it's in an RPG. I'd rather find a trick that makes the boss into a cakewalk than spend thirty minutes whittling his HP down with attacks and spells that do tickle damage.

Mah nigga. 6 may be the better FF, but 4's Boss Battle theme was somethin' else that really pushed the sense of urgency and direness of the situation. Decisive Battle ain't far behind though.

I've never heard a boss theme that hyped me up more than the FF4 one does.
I came when I discovered it in SMRPG
>Boss regularly summons minions and eats them for health
>You can use a status effect move on the minions before he eats them
>The status transfers to the boss
>>321664165
What game?
>>321653367
> Several bosses with high hp, defense, crit rate, accuracy, and attack power
> in the same map with dozens of mooks
> bosses flee the battle if they reach 30% hp
Damn you Sanger!
>boss summons minions
>the minions can heal the boss
>attacking the boss while minions are alive activates a ridiculous counter that does tons of damage
>the boss can activate a shield if you don't attack him for too long that multiplies minion defence by 4 times.

What about a Lich that you have to kill like 4 times because in order to finish him off you have to destroy his phylactery, and he keeps coming back until you do so and the Phylactery is way in the back of the dungeon so you have to fight past him multiple times and also he summons minions
>game thinks "difficulty" is turning sub-bosses into tanks as the game progresses, adding a hundred minions to the fight, and allotting the boss status effect spells that are guaranteed to hit your entire party
>>321666704
dmc3 also has a boss like that

In that particular fight the boss only does physical damage, and his minions only do physical damage. The boss itself is immune to physical damage but his minions are not. So you can put the game on autobattle and make yourself immune to physical damage.
