Archylte Steppe in 13-2 & weather changing machine.

Quote:
We also checked out the Archylte Steppe, where we had to wander around the giant sandstorm-filled field to help fix a time anomaly. After doing a few quests to fetch and "kill a specific number of monsters" here and there for a nearby hunter's settlement, we were finally given permission to fiddle around with the settlement's weather-changing machine. Not only did this determine the type of encounters that we'd be facing, it also helped reveal the culprit behind the aforementioned anomaly: a giant Feryl sucking in Flans through its mouth. As we set the weather to a clear blue sky, an Adamantoise stood in the way. Killing it at our current level was akin to committing suicide, so we had to change up the weather patterns to make it go away.

another interview, this one with some gameplay details, newish.

"When it comes to hidden bosses, there are super hardcore bosses deployed at different locations. When you see them, and you can see them as they're really huge in size, many of them are so powerful if you try to take them on you'll become annihilated in seconds. So what you can do is find a way to fight against them, pass and just move on until your characters are strong enough and then you can go back to the location and defeat these super big, super powerful boss monsters. Succeeding in doing so, you might be able to unlock another time gate and you can move to another time and location again. It's quite interesting."
The replay value and side content is sounding vast. It seems you will have to do side quests in order to get to many other time periods to get a broader view on the story.

YES! I love hidden bosses, I miss the days when you could tell how powerful a boss was by its size.

I never understood why XIII didn't have hidden bosses.

I was going to say bosses like the higher level cie'th stones or adamantoises but they aren't exactly hidden are they. They weren't very exhilirating boss fights either.
