15 Hour boss? Which FF had that insame amount of hours boss fight? o.o

The longest I can remember is Yiazmat, and that was at best 5/6 hours without a proper setup or strategy to defeat him, or as fast as 1/2 hours with the right setup and skills.

FIVE hours?

That's insane. How much health did he have?


Yiazmat? Look at PSP sales and you'll get the deal :P

So like 50 million HP? And don't attacks only do up to like 9999 damage?

Holy shit.

took a while to beat, but i managed to get him very low lved. i didn't even had alll the summons.
but after beating it it was easy.

if the fight actually took 30 min more i would have lost and had to start again.

That's clearly far too much health.

Why were the developers punishing the players?

Or was it optional?

Hopefully not. FFXII was a terrible game lacking in direction with endless forced grinding.

yiatmat on low levels can take over 10 hours.

i was VERY low, and only had the zodiac spear :p

Hmmm... I'm actually interested in giving FFXII another try, just to see this.

Lol yeah Yiazmat was tough. His fight wa more tedious than anything. It never got too tough to handle.
I still think they should've kept Omega Mk XII's hp from the Japanese version. He would've been tougher than Yiazmat even with 1/5 oh his health.

Anyway, it should be the same length.

It's optional.

Also, people are reading into Square Enix's comments way too much. It's very likely like you'll finish the game in under 40 hours. Every developer gives a BS amount of time to beat the game, but it's usually way overstated. Final Fantasy XII required more time than any previous Final Fantasy for me, but that was only because I had to grind tons at the end.

I finished the game and don't remember a boss with that kind of health so I guess it was optional.
