The HP jump between the first boss (Monk + White Mage duo) and the second boss (solo Black Mage) on hard is amazing.

The Monk had 480 HP and the WM (annoying bastard) had 300 HP....the BM alone has 2100 HP and you only have about 30 minutes between the fights.

Though, to be honest, the first boss fight was infinitely more annoying because the infinite Cures of the WM. Since even with 4 Braves with Tiz and Agnis weren't enough to dish 95 HP (the amount that the WM recovered), the battle took me 45 minutes to complete.

I focused on the white mage on normal difficulty and she managed to cast 5-6 Cures on herself (for about 75 HP each) before she went down, so it's easy to imagine how annoying this must be on hard.

Almost midnight, so I should get a few more villagers soon.

There's a boss that's much more annoying further on, once you get to the place of the demo. He has an attack that does 300 damage, regardless of defense, and uses it twice on the same turn (he always defaults before).

It usually KOs one character and he goes from Default -> 2xmove -> Default over and over again. Doesn't help that he has 8700 HP and that my biggest special only takes about 500 (normal moves take 140). 

It's the first sub-story boss, so it's optional, but the job he drops is pretty good.

Edit - Also added everyone in the OP that I hadn't add before in the Pokemon X/Y thread
