I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

Giygas or Lavos, I think.

The 3-part Lavos fight is one of the best JRPG battles of all time for sure.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

Final bosses...fighting games...

Fighting game final bosses are good, sometimes? They can't be cheaters first of all, that's like rule number one in making a good fighting game final boss.

Neat, Superhot is in the latest Humble Monthly. I keep saying I'm going to cancel it next month, but every time they have at least one thing that's on my Steam wishlist.

I know saying anything bad about Earthbound is harem, but Giygas was a pretty dull battle imo.

I think the reception can be drastically changed if you know the trick ahead of time or if you try to tackle it like a normal boss until making a desperation move. My case was the later and I think it was a great way to end the game.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

Although this ought to get props because it's a boss fight that might be actually physically painful. drat good tho.

I knew ahead of time, myself. I think it's a good sequence, at least the first time you play through it, but it's always a crappily-designed battle.

this coming from someone who thinks rs3's final battle is one of the best, even though it's really only due to the music, because a boss where whether you win or not is entirely up to the rng for what attacks the boss uses is even worse than fighting giygas

I mean I think Super Metroid works in much the same way, as most people who make it to MB will be insanely overpowered compared to her and then it's about the sequence, where Ridley is the last actual challenge (assuming you're not one of those people breaking the game and fighting Spore Spawn last or whatever).

Also a cool last boss.
