I had forgotten all about the "let's see how many consecutive bosses we can throw at you" bullshit of JRPGs. But now I remember!

Wat. Who doesn't like Boss Rushes?

So late in the game you start seeing these little poof looking creatures showing up in battle. They run away very quickly, but if you get the jump on them and kill them quick (not too hard) then this happens.

This would be the best place I've found to level guys up, by far. Plus lots of good drops.

Wow. I'm about 10 levels behind you but at the last dungeon. I read that a lot of the trophies can't be completed without continuing after you beat the game, which is just all kinds of backwards. Is that a common thing with JRPGs now? Do they expect that you really want to keep playing after the story ends?

Yeah, that's been common for at least the last two generations.

who doesn't play after the story ends when there's actually stuff to do? It's not like a movie where there's nothing left to see...

Before you would save at the last save point before the final boss, then backtrack to do extra stuff.

This works out better.

I like what they do with The Last Story, where it just keeps going after you think you've seen the ending. Every game should do that. i wish Final Fantasy XII did that...
