Fuck is the music so good.
Made me so sick when OT lost soundtrack of the year smh.
It should be noted that the "final boss" we are talking about is more of a secret boss than anything. It is the final challenge of the game but you can get a complete experience without ever facing it.
The main problem is that in order to even face the final boss you need to beat a boss rush of previous bosses that is not really that hard, and then you are forced to use all of the eight characters during it. Some people just had trained a party of 4 characters since you are never required to use more than 4 at the same time, and the boss is a big difficulty spike. And then to rub salt on the wound you cannot leave the dungeon nor save at any point.
If you are prepared and grind the eight characters to an acceptable level then it's not too bad. It's actually a fantastic boss with an amazing soundtrack to boot. However, I will say it again: you don't need to defeat it to "beat the game".
I played the game on launch, so I'd have to double check but I wanna say I ended the game with my whole party averaging around 60 and for the boss I had to bump up everyone to the low to mid 70s?
There are ways to grind faster that isn't just beating enemies (certain enemies drop a ton of exp and certain jobs have a random chance to multiply exp, but those enemies spawn completely randomly and also try to run away ASAP)
