Quale

Amdusias, quite fond of the big tusk thing and the wings.

One here for Quale.

P.S.: Nice work on the pictures, really adds to the rumble.

Looking good bb14. I'm going for Amdusias as Quale isn't really an enemy/monster of the sorts. Plus I like its design.

Amdusias

I vote for Quale.

Lich


Lich is a boss from Final Fantasy IX. The party fights it in Memoria the last of the four gaurdian things.

Lani


Lani is a non-player character in Final Fantasy IX. Lani is a bounty hunter, hired by Queen Brahne to retrieve the Pendant worn by Princess Garnet and to kill Vivi, the Black Mage travelling with her. She works initially with Amarant, whom she calls "Red", but later finds herself at odds with him when Amarant disapproves of her "unfair" methods of reaching her objective. Eventually she sees the error in her ways and can be found living in Madain Sari with Eiko's moogles by the end of the story.


thanks enya for the pictures :). and it's nice to know the new layout is going down well

Lani has a giant axe. That's all I have to say.

I was annoyed when I first went through memoria, I just went in to see how the bosses were and after the first boss in Memoria I decided to keep going further. Eventually even though I decided not to save I eventually wanted to because I beat the second boss also. Little did I know that I would end up getting past the third boss too before I found a save point. So I went through the grueling challenge of getting past the first three bosses use mainly white magic to heal my people. I surely would have died on the next boss who I think was the Kraken but I had the chance to save before him. If only I knew some of the save points were hidden.

Lich always a bitch to kill him.

Lani 'cos of the scene at Maidan Sari.

Lani --- Lich was too easy to kill for me and Lani had some interesting tricks up her sleeve plus some challenging stuff to steal but I recall being worth the time.

Wow I had forgotten all about Lani...she gets my vote.

Lani, is the only storyline boss that I ever get stuck on. Always a challenge.

Lani

Lani

Lich

Am I the only one that found the Lani fights pathetic?

Lani she was th eharder boss for me.

Lich, it's part of that great section of the game....where all of the party has to split up. I found it challenging that time, as I hardly ever use Quina.

I cannot stand Lani as a character or an enemy. I choose Lich.

Lani cause hawt.

Lich. Liked the design. Personally i would have thought Lani more significant if she had been a recurring boss.

I cannot stand Lani as a character or an enemy. Although Lich is quite easy to defeat, his moves can be devastating sometimes and with just Zidane & Quina, it's a fair challenge.


Thats Earth Guardian.

You're right. Got 'em mixed up somehow. I'll change it now, thanks.

I can understand why, Earth Guradian and Lich look very similiar.

Lich

10-3 and Lani OWNS Lich.

Plant Brain


The Plant Brain is a boss from Final Fantasy IX. The party fights it in the Evil Forest. After 1/3 of its HP is depleted, Blank will join the battle. After the Plant Brain is defeated, the Evil Forest begins to petrify.

Kraken



Kraken is a boss in Final Fantasy IX. It is first mentioned when Dagger and Eiko fight it to release the Water Seal (and subsequently win). It appears again when it attacks the party deep in Memoria, while they are climbing the staircase that leads out the water.


thanks enya for the pictures :)

Kraken's the one for this battle --- possibly my favorite of that set of four.

I was going to vote for the Brain, but after recalling the Kraken battle I changed my mind

Kraken

Kraken, was my favorite of the four guardians.

hmm, well I think I will go with Plant Brain, I found him to be more of a challenge.

Kraken

Damn you, barretboy14, for this round of the rumble nearing its one-month anniversary of relevance, and for making me feel obligated to logout, just so a nonlinear thread viewer, such as myself, could check this thread (especially the updates) in an unrelated manner in order to save myself the headache.

barretboy isn't around. He hasn't logged on since the 29th.

I figured as much when I had read this post (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showpost.php?p=898635&postcount=18) in the General Gaming section yesterday, Agent.

It was all said in jest!

Right!

Plant Brain - 6

Kraken the big winner here. Plant Brain has some support, but not nearly enough.

Okay, okay, next battle:

Garland (You fight him at the end of Disc 3, but he's really more of a warmup act to Kuja. I recall that he mainly attacks using magic, and likes to use Stop.)

vs.

Hades (Optional boss in Memoria. If you've already beaten Ozma, he will acknowledge it at the start of the battle. Uses powerful attacks including Curse, Mustard Bomb, Freeze and Judgment Sword. Will use Doomsday if left alive too long. Opens a synthesis shop once you've defeated him.)


This is the only battle I'm doing. If someone else wants to take over, they should PM me. Otherwise, attempts to revive the thread once voting has generally tapered off will be met with closure.

about time

Hades

Hades

Garland

Hades, he seemed fairly easy (maybe I just got lucky) but I never tried fighting him after beating Ozma. Is he really harder if you fight him after?

Thanks for taking over, even if it is only it is just this round.

Hades

I never tried fighting him after beating Ozma. Is he really harder if you fight him after?
Nah. I say he "acknowledges" your victory of Ozma, more specifically it's like he's saying OMG you beat Ozma, so how does he have a chance?

Garland. Loved the guy, loved handing him his own ass.

Hades

Hades fucking doomsday.

Garland was a badass.

Hades

Garland. Loved the guy, loved handing him his own ass.

Hades. For the synth shop.

Garland.

I've gotta go with Garland here. I thought the way he carried himself was quite majestic, and for God's sake, he has a PIPE ORGAN for his theme music.

Garland ftw. I shall knock you all down! ...wait.

Garland

Hades

Hades.

Anyone want to permanantly keep this going. I don't have the itme or patience to do it anymore, I had fun doing it whilst it lasted but I've got more important things coming up (GCSE's etc)

thanks to whoever steps up. (thanks agent for the update)

Barret ironically I may take it back of your hands again :)

No prob Barret, I hope u do well on your IGCSEs :)

I'll be taking it, BB, with Agent's blessing. Xandy, I have PM'd you about it.

I'll be finishing the boss round and then we'll be moving to a new thread, where suggestions will be made for a new round.

Garland - 8
Hades - 10

I wanted Garland to win...

Ark - In their quest to find the Gulug Stone, Zidane and co. reach the bottom of Oeilvert, where they encounter this airship that's more than willing to make life difficult for them.


Zorn - The blue twin and the one without the speech impediment. However, this does not mean Zorn is any better than his brother. No, he's as equally mean, vicious and easy to hate. Luckily, in all his incarnations, he's a pushover.

Ark

Couldn't stand Zorn or Thorn.

Ark

Zorn is annoying and double annoying with thorn, but if the match were ark vs. meltigemini I would probably pick meltigemini.

Facing an airship thing is sort of cool and the summon of him is even cooler, that's why I picked ark.

Ark

Ark. Zorn and Thorn are an easy takedown and either of them alone are a joke.

Zorn and Thron are way too easy, simply attack the one that's charging up to stop their attacks, Ark

Ark

I could appreciate it for not being a pair of perpetually rhyming, scatterbrained, twin court jesters. Also, Meltigemini was an unbelievable failure in every sense of the word.

Ark. I dislike Zorn and Thorn. Period.

Going to have to go for Ark too.

Ark And PC Thanks for the pm did reply:)

Ark I found the Airship a bit more challenging than those annoying jesters.

Zorn, because I simply hated Ark.

Ark - 10

Zorn - 1

Heh Zorn must be a very sad clown right now.

Amarant - The Flaming Amarant, using his monk abilities, can be a very useful member to have in battle. The typical loner, Amarant changes his outlook on life after travelling with Zidane, recognizing that allies are not necessarily a bad thing.

Kuja - Created by Garland to speed up the soul refining process, Kuja went mad when he learned he was not the only "Angel of Death" Garland had in store. While attempting to destroy the Crystal of Life, he was defeated by the main characters and later regretted his decision.

Kuja

Also zomg it's my first time voting here in ages.

I'm gonna go with Kuja for this one.

dammit.. Ark

This Round:Amarant was cool... but which Kuja battle are we refering to? Trance Kuja in the Crystal World or normal Kuja in Pandemondium?(spelling?)
if either way Kuja was a cooler battle..

Amarant was/ or is a good character to use in battle

so my vote is Kuja if it didnt seem clear

Kuja

Amarant was too easy and I hardly ever used him afterwards.

I would have to say Kuja.

Kuja

I'm going against the crowd and I'll say Amarant, first-form Kuja was way too easy, even if he did Ultima your party once it was over.

Kuja.

Kuja was much tougher than Amarant. Not that that makes him tough; a few Frog Drops and he's gone.

Kuja

Kuja

Kuja

Amarant was too easy and I hardly ever used him afterwards.

Kuja

Kuja was much tougher than Amarant. Not that that makes him tough; a few Frog Drops and he's gone.

Kuja, as I really disliked the Amarant battle, even if I did find him useful when he became your ally.

Kuja.

I found them both equally easy in battle, Amarant was my fav character to use and the battle was unique with the way he jumped around, so I will go with Amarant.

Kuja

Im going for Amarant Simply because the poor bastard is getting trounced.

Im going for Amarant Simply because the poor bastard is getting trounced.

qft. I vote for Amarant.

Amarant - 4

Kuja - 16

Oh, you sexually confused due to differences between Japan and the rest of the world character lovers, you.

Black Waltz #1 - You remember this guy, right? He was such a wuss that he had a Sealion do most of the fighting in the Ice Cavern. The first of a threesome of enhanced black mages.

Tiamat - One of the Fiends and a pretty rotten bastard, with its Snort attack, the three-headed dragon(?) protects the Wind Shrine and Vivi and Steiner defeat it in its first incarnation. Later on, the whole party gets a shot at him.

Tiamat

Tiamat, of course.

Tiamet cause stuff.

An easy decision in favor of Tiamat.

Tiamat

Black Waltz #1 only because he is able to summon the sealion, which did seem to be a little bit of a challenge at the time.

Tiamat, a vicious wind guardian which protected the Wind Shrine and tried to stop the party from passing further on into Memoria.

Black Waltz 1, a stupid enhanced black mage with bird wings and uses a bell on a string as a weapon, I mean c'mon. He summoned the Sealion which I would admit was a bit of a challenge.

I would go with Tiamat.

Black Waltz #1 only because he is able to summon the sealion, which did seem to be a little bit of a challenge at the time.

Black Waltz #1 only because he is able to summon the sealion, which did seem to be a little bit of a challenge at the time.

Black Waltz #1, 'cause that battle was simply more fun. =)

Tiamat

Tiamat, only Black Waltz I liked was #3.

Black Waltz #1

Black Waltz #1, 'cause that battle was simply more fun. =)

Last rumble of the first round.

Black Waltz - 6

Tiamat - 8

Ozma - Who'd think a ball could be so much trouble without being aimed at your testicles? One of the secret bosses of FFIX, this guy can only be reached using a flying chocobo and a Dead Pepper. A real bastard, unless you know the right tricks, in which case he's still a bastard but less so.

Baku - The leader of Tantalus and one of those people who always have a cold, Baku also has the dubious honour of being the first boss in the game and one of the easiest. Wears this ridiculous dragon ornament on his head in the first encounter.

Probably the only one who'll vote this way but Baku for me. Ozma was infinitely harder, but also infinitely less fun. The second time you fight Baku made me rofl like hell when he falls over halfway through his special attack.

Baku.

Ceidwad is completely right. Baku was easier, but the battles against him were just more fun. And the guy's got a personality, unlike Ozma.

Come on, Ozma.

Baku

Freaking uberbosses like Ozma are a disease that should be wiped from gaming forever. I want interesting optional content that actually adds something to the game, not just useless ultra-high-level monsters to fight.

Ozma is tough and all, but as Prak says, it's a totally pointless venture.

Baku.

Ozma

I will not allow some stupid overgrown bouncy ball that played no fucking part in the actual game and should not have been in it, and could quite easily be beaten with a level 1 party beat Baku, who's awesome.

Baku.

I would have to say Baku because I found him qite humorous and funny since he fell on his face sometimes when trying to attack you.

Baku

I will not allow some stupid overgrown bouncy ball that played no fucking part in the actual game and should not have been in it, and could quite easily be beaten with a level 1 party beat Baku, who's awesome.

are you trying to be prak.

dammit...Tiamat


Ozma

A multi-coloured BALL of evil.

Ozma!!

are you trying to be prak.


Uh no, that's what I really think of Ozma :P

Ozma

I disagree with your stance on extremely difficult optional bosses, Prak.

Final Fantasy, and many other CRPGs for that matter, is laden with side-quests and optional bosses that add to the story, or whichever reward you may be referring to. While their exclusion wouldn't make an iota of difference to the script, they do serve their purpose by giving you an actual challenge not usually met otherwise during a straightforward playthrough.

I'm certain I'm not the only one when I state it offers a false sense of accomplishment, when a combination of tactics and reflexes are used to decimate those type of foes.

I'd actually rather like to have that discussion, but this isn't the place for it. Feel free to bring it up elsewhere though.

Ozma, there should always be an optional boss somewhere in an RPG which is harder or just as hard as the final boss.

Once you beat it, it lets you feel like you have accomplished something important and makes you feel much better!

A multi-coloured BALL of evil.

Ozma!!

Ozma

Baku, for reasons stated above, and I have yet to beat Ozma, one of two things I have not accomplished in the game.

Baku

The big ball tumbled down the hill, followed by Jack and Jill.

Ozma - 8

Baku - 10

Here are the remaining boss characters:

Nova Dragon vs Gizamaluke
Beatrix vs Deathguise
Necron vs Black Waltz #3
Earth Guardian vs Trance Kuja
Quale vs Lani
Kraken vs Hades
Ark vs Kuja
Tiamat vs Baku

Nova Dragon - Right before entering Memoria proper, the party is confronted with this guy. Aside from looking cool, Nova has a few damn good atacks, but a properly-levelled party makes short work of it.

Gizamaluke - In his Grotto, Gizamaluke apparently does things like marrying the Burmecians? A difficult boss battle if you're not prepared, especially that pesky Water attack. I always found it curious that Freya didn't even look upset about the killing of something that was like a deity to the Burmecians. No one mentions this sacrilege throughout the whole game.

Gizamaluke. I seem to remember voting against him before, but I can't for the life of me remember why.

Gizamaluke

Gizamaluke's quite a difficult boss if you neglected to get Quina the first time, as I did. But the Nova Dragon's just much more cool.

Gizamaluke has always been a challenge I find compared to that of Nova Dragon.

Gizamaluke , well Freya's highest priority was to protect the royal family and her country, and if you consider that they were in the middle of a war that destroyed their city, she could not care less.
Btw, it was not important for the Burmecians but for the Cleyrans, as the monster was in Cleyra, and they mention they didn't have visitors from Burmecia for generations.

Nova Dragon. Both of these monsters could be easily crippled of their power if you knew what you were doing, but at least the dragon had some coolness factor to it.

That was a close one for Baku :)

GO NOVA

Nova Dragon

Gizamaluke

He was harder!

Gizamaluke

I really hoped Ozma would last to the finals. :\ AHWELL.

Nova Dragon!

Gizamaluke, I found him a challenge when stealing good items off him like the Ice Staff for Vivi.

Nova Dragon was one cool guardian whom I found highly enjoyable to battle against and steal from.

The perfect target!

ignore this post...wrong thread...

Oooooh Nova Dragon gets shot down. And he was so close too...

Nova Dragon - 6

Gizamaluke - 7

Beatrix - C'mon, do you people even need a description anymore? If this rumble were strictly being judged by difficulty, Beatrix would be the indisputable victor because you never win against her.

Deathguise - Most likely a reject from the Alien movies, Deathguise is also a filler battle, because you need to have a minion to beat up before the final guy. Really, this guy is pitiful. He mostly uses physical attacks, but will start the battle with Meteor.

Oh yeah, he's also from FFVI.

Beatrix without a doubt, she would use Shock to instantly kill one of my party members with major damage and the fact you can never defeat her is another thing. She would reduce your health to 1 with Stock Break twice and using Climhazzard the last. She would sometimes use Thunder Slash to take at least half the health plus she heals herself with Cura spells.

The Great General Beatrix gets my vote.

Beatrix gave me a hard time in my first play through. Yes, in all three battles :P

Deathguise

In all actuality, I don't prefer Deathguise over Beatrix; it's quite the opposite.

Despite the fact I find Beatrix overrated, I'm fond of her all the same, and the only explanation as to why I'm voting against her is because her inclusion in nearly any rumble she partakes in is tipped in her favor, be it the character herself, quotes, or even related themes ("Roses of May" & "The Wavering Blade").

Being a fan favorite, it's a no-brainer why she'd be in this specific edition of the rumble; hell, I'm, to a lesser extent, a fan myself. It's just that the predictability of the outcome is exceptionally high, and everyone is essentially achieving the same end result via a different avenue, which zaps the life out of a competition such as this.

Beatrix No question

Beatrix gave me a hard time in my first play through. Yes, in all three battles :P

Beatrix

Beatrix

Beatrix No question

Beatrix...why the hell not...

Have to go for Beatrix, even if never being able to beat her was a bit annoying.

Also, I really didn't see much point of having Deathguise as a boss-they could and should have just gone on to Trance Kuja, in my opinion.

Beatrix

Beatrix plz.

Beatrix, absolutely.

Beatrix

I didn't even check the last page to see who she's going against... but...

Beatrix!

Sorry, Splintered, I get the point you were trying to get across, but numbers can't be argued with.

Beatrix - 15

Deathguise - 1


Necron - The Deus Ex Machina of FFIX. This final boss is not as hard as Ozma, but it can still fuck you up in a snap. Not surprisingly, his attack list is longer than John Holmes'... nose. Blizzaga, Firaga, Thundaga, Flare, Holy and Grand Cross, to name a few. He has a pretty cool look.

Black Waltz #3 - Fought in the cargo ship for the first time, this BW is the toughest of the trio, although not by much. He'll use level 2 elemental spells like Fira and Thundara and float around. He''ll also be the first boss of the 2nd disc, in a damaged form, making him that much easier. Nice stuff to steal though, in both encounters.

I really like both, but: Necron's a pretty crappy final boss, and the third Black Waltz a really cool boss..

So I vote for Black Waltz #3. :)

Black Waltz #3

Necron was utterly pointless, there really is no appeal.

Black Waltz 3

Black Waltz #3

Two rather underwhelming contestants, but I'll go for Black Waltz 3, mainly because I liked the second battle. Also, the cutscene where the party squeeze BW3 out of Lindblum was pretty sweet.

Necron wasn't that hard or much needed, but I do respect his cool design.

I heard Necron could have been the True form of the Lifa Tree or a powerful entity created from preventing the souls from returning to Gaia.

Regardless of what Necron really was, I vote for Black Waltz #3.

The reason is that felt I felt all of that emotion from watching that FMV with those black mages being destroyed by the Black Waltz #3 when they tried to defend Vivi. I felt sorry for Vivi and wanting to destroying that Black Waltz. So Black Waltz #3 is a very cool boss.

I'm gonna give one for Necron.

BW3, as Necron is the most anti-climatic and underwhelming final battle ever.

Not to turn this into a character discussion thread but I think most of you don't actually "get" Necron. I used to think he was an unnecessary battle and a lame character too but boy, was I taught a lesson in that one.

All I'm saying is, don't be too quick to judge the guy just because you never saw him coming. Carry on.

Black Waltz #3

All I'm saying is, don't be too quick to judge the guy just because you never saw him coming. Carry on.

I don't want it to turn into a discussion either, but I only have to say: I do realize that Necron is like the Mental side of the Lifa Tree (and Soulcage, the monster at the bottom of the actual tree the Physical side), not that he hasn't got anything to do with the storyline (like Ozma). The main reason why I think it's a crappy FINAL boss is 'cause I've always found him easy to beat. And when it comes to coolness/personality, yep, Black Waltz #3's also better at that, IMO. :-D

Black Waltz #3

Necron

I liked the look necron had, it made him seem like a god with those ring things floating around necron.

Black Waltz #3 was still really awesome but I just couldn't give him my vote.

Black Waltz #3

Oh Necron, you misunderstood lug.

Necron - 2

Black Waltz #3 - 10

Earth Guardian - Lich is the name and lame is the name of the game. Before becoming a regular enemy in the Crystal portion of the game, this guy opposes Zidane and Quina in the Earth Shrine. List of attacks? Why bother? Earth absorbing/dampening/nullifying equipment = win.

Trance Kuja - Final enemy of the game, not counting Necron, Kuja watched some Dragon Ball and got himself some new and, thankfully, all covering fur. He's a mage so mage attacks he has. Holy, Flare and Flare Star are his main attacks, plus Curaga to heal himself.

Trance Kuja.

Trance Kuja

In some ways, I think he is harder then Ozma, which probably makes him the hardest enemy in the game in my opinion.

Trance Kuja

Trance Kuja, because he reveals to us that nothing's more fierce than a genomic flamer with a new suit and hair color.

Oh, and there's the fact that the battle was just pure win, and from the presentation to the musical piece, it was captivating, but why focus on minor details?

Trance Kuja.

Oh, and there's the fact that the battle was just pure win, and from the presentation to the musical piece, it was captivating, but why focus on minor details?

You do realize I only have to list the enemies, remind the participants of their locations and some of their attacks, right? What's good and bad about the fights is up to each player to decide for themselves.

I was merely giving my own reasons for choosing one option over the other. Nowhere in my post did it hint at urging people to take that into consideration.

If you made the mistake of reading too much into the "Why focus on minor details?" portion of my post, I suggest you read the first part of my message, and then the subsequent, actual reasons that were posted.

I thought it was fairly obvious I was coming across as sarcastic.

You do seem to try to take the votes your ways. Someone just has to look at your rant about Beatrix to see the light of your ways.

At Splintered: My bad, friend, my bad. I apologise.

You do seem to try to take the votes your ways. Someone just has to look at your rant about Beatrix to see the light of your ways.

Hynad, your logic is shallow at best.

If you can't differentiate between a facetious post and one that was bringing up a legitimate issue, then me attempting to sway votes is the least of your concerns.

Quite frankly, I'm not certain which is more ridiculous: Me believing that Deathguise could prevail over Beatrix, or you believing that I'd believe Deathguise could prevail over Beatrix.

Espanha: No problem, dude.

Erm, yeah, voting.

Trance Kuja

Hynad, your logic is shallow at best.

Quite frankly, I'm not certain which is more ridiculous: Me believing that Deathguise could prevail over Beatrix, or you believing that I'd believe Deathguise could prevail over Beatrix.

Espanha: No problem, dude.

What is ridiculous here is that you try to see what I believe about you based on your total lack of comprehension about what I told you. I don't give a shit about what you believe. Espanha expressed a valid concern about your attitude here, and I backed him because I happen to see it that way too. Now if you deny it or not, I don't care. You were still complaining, and that was annoying.

This legitimate issue of yours isn't really an issue. If you cannot accept that a character will be more popular (no matter the reason) than others, than you certainly don't have your place here.

Now I suggest we take this to PM if you have anymore to add (which you probably do have) so the voting can go back on track without us interefering more than we already have.

I appreciate the support, Hynad, but please, this all started because I was impetuous and called Splintered on something he did not do. I apologised, he accepted and that should be the end of it. If you both have other issues to solve, please fuck off and take it to another thread or to PMs.



Agent, requesting some action from you if it continues.

What is ridiculous here is that you try to see what I believe about you based on your total lack of comprehension about what I told you. I don't give a shit about what you believe. Espanha expressed a valid concern about your attitude here, and I backed him because I happen to see it that way too.

I suppose you overlooked Espanha's post that agreed with me on the Beatrix issue, and the one where he admitted he jumped the gun toward my previous post pertaining to Trance Kuja.

I guess you conveniently forgot, am I right?


Now if you deny it or not, I don't care. You were still complaining, and that was annoying.

Perhaps a forum, a place where people share different opinions and thoughts, is not something you grasp the basic concept of, and is not one, after five years of being here, you can accept.

There's a stark contrast between noting something in a constructive manner, and giving off the impression of being whiny.

For someone as intelligent as yourself, you sure do see things in black and white.


This legitimate issue of yours isn't really an issue. If you cannot accept that a character will be more popular (no matter the reason) than others, than you certainly don't have your place here.

First of all, I accept that Beatrix is more popular than most other FFIX characters. You could behave as if you didn't catch the part where I said I was a fan myself.

Why don't you try to dig deeper into my post about that situation before you rant to me, because your rebuttals so far have been anything but stellar.

Also, I've been around here long enough to scour through BB14's rumble in the General Gaming section; trust me when I say I've noticed your behavior during the earlier period of that thread, and that alone makes me apprehensive to even debate with you. In short, you're one of the last people I expect to come at me like this, especially with your "then you certainly don't have your place here" malarkey.

Ironically enough, from what I've eyed in said thread, your presense there wasn't very welcome by several members, BB14 included, due to you being an irritant, and the word you threw around aimlessly, annoying.

Finally, suggesting to a person, who is defending themself against false accusations in public, to take it to PMs isn't going to mesh well with most.

So you really don't care about the one running the rumble, eh? Even when he said to go take all this elsewhere, you can't seem to listen and do what is asked.

Espanha posted that while I was replying to you; it happens.

I'm more than willing to adhere to the rules, though don't expect to place your rather strong assertions without awaiting a counter to them. You and I are alike in that respect.

Forgive the derailment of the thread, everyone.

Terra being destroyed was really cool, seeing all that calm and peaceful blue becoming chaotic and crimson red amongst the burning of what was once Terra and it really shows the destructive power of Trance. I preferred Kuja in his Trance form, it really showed how cool and powerful Ultima can be.

Hynad and Splintered can you take your argument somewhere else? This is a rumble thread, not a debate!

Also, Trance Kuja

ROKI, can you learn to read please? It's already been asked of us to move that somewhere else, by the one running the rumble no less.

My apologies Hynad

Trance Kuja

Trance Kuja. Just had a lot more to offer in terms of tying up Kuja's motives, as well as being more difficult.

The Earth Guardian fight was interesting though, in that your team got split up into four parties of two for the shrine battles.

Trance Kuja.

dammit...Necron


hmmmm tough choice...Trance Kuja

Trance Kuja.

Trance Kuja.

Earth Guardian got owned like a bitch. A bitch!

Earth Guardian - 0

Trance Kuja - 15

Quale - Quina's master, this Qu is also an optional boss, available after you catch 99 enchanted princes in the Marshes. Not the easiest foe but far from invincible. He'll use a slew of Status-inflicting attacks and a Rolling Attack. The reward for deafeating him is the Gastro Fork.

Lani - Right after you escape the Headless Chariot Driver of Fossil Roo... Hollow, Lani shows up and she can be tough. Using spells like Aera, Fira, Blizzara and Thundara and Water and a physical attack, Lani shows just how much of a bitch she can be. This is further emphazised by the fact she'll only target Dagger until you attack her with one of the other characters.

Quale

Quale was both challenging, and somehow entertaining to fight!

Quale.

Quale

for having the most hp of any monster in the game and still being so easy to defeat.

Quale... Lani was a skanky whore. Even though she was vain enough to think she was the sexiest bounty hunter in the world...

Quale.

Quale, reason being running from Armodullahan, while avoiding pendulums, was more compelling than squaring off against Lani.

In Quale's defense, he's: powerful, entertaining to fight, and provides comic relief, and you can't go wrong with that.

Quale with the great comic relief.

Quale was satisfying and besides, I hate Lani.

Quale.

I just never really cared about Lani, and she was pretty easy to beat imo.

Quale

Quale I mean seriously this is very one sided, Lani hasn't got much going for her.

Lani cuz hawt.

Lani, for the same reason as Sobye. Quale's much harder to beat, but the hell with it. I'm voting for the one with the great breasts.

I kinda liked Lani, and I kinda disliked Quale.

Lani~

Quale, although I only ever fought him once.

Lani was quite the morsel for Quale.

Quale - 13

Lani - 3


Kraken - The Water Fiend and respective Shrine guardian, although the player only sees him (her?) later in Memoria. Together with his tentacles, Kraken is a triple menace. Uses Waterga quite a bit, which is really to be expected.

Hades - Another optional foe, the Lord of the Underworld apparently lives in Memoria behind a giant sea shell. He's also the ultimate synthesizer and that's worth the battle. He'll use a variety of attacks such as Cleave, Judgement Sword and Curse, among others.

Hades

Kraken looked like he was going to be hard but ended up being easy. Then again, so did Hades.

Kraken. Once again, in-jokes ftw.

Hades

Hades preferably.

Hades

Hades gets my vote.
