RPG Final Bosses

I know perhaps you don't want the last boss to be the hardest boss in the game. And it's understandable but RPGs have always had a habbit of making last bosses pansies. I think that maybe after a certain level your group hits, the boss should get harder with you. I mean the guy who can destroy the world, shouldn't be able to die in two hits (See FFVII). I just don't see the need to make them so easy, and then throw in hidden bosses that just rape your party Omega Weapon in FFVIII.

Can anyone mention an RPG that DOESN'T have a pansy of a last boss?

I think in Super Mario RPG the last boss was difficult even with my level maxed out (at 30). But that's all that comes to mind for the moment.

I think it's because some people want to be able to finish the game without being super hardcore and leveling up their party until they reach lvl 100. That way, if you find the last boss too easy, you have the OPTION of getting raped by a super secret all-powerful boss...

Last boss in Star Ocean 2, at full power.

Final Fantasy games are notoriously douchey about this. You have auto-life cast on you automatically for the last boss of FFX ferchristsakes.

Beat the true final boss of SMT: Nocturne, I dare you. He's rather famous... and believe me, he lives up to his reputation. I have to say 'true' because there's a a different final boss if you don't do certain things in the game, but he's a total wuss.

I hear there's an extra boss in DDS that's a controller breaker, but I haven't gotten nearly far enough yet, though the boss I'm at right now is plenty tough.

The final boss of Atelier Iris was a toughy, but that's only because all the fights before were fairly easy and left me a little unprepared for it.

I don't know what your acronyms stand for.

The first one's Shin Megami Tensei... I have no idea why I know that.

Dunno what "DDS" is.

I've heard all about this guy. :/

I'd say DW final bosses can be tough. I remember the ones in III and IV being hard back in the day. I haven't made it to VII's yet; I've spent far too much time raising my job classes.

Plus, well, it's all in the eye of the beholder, so to speak. Take your Super Mario RPG for example. I stomped that guy, and I wasn't maxed out.
