Which is strange because most final bosses in Final Fantasy come with immunity to most if not all status effects.
That said, someone told me Kefka is FF6 was supposed to be a pushover. Now, maybe it was because I didn't have the exact right setup, maybe it was because I was too spent from the preceding battles. But he was not a damned pushover. I had to grind for hours to get the right setup (In addition to the hours I had already grinded) and he still wasn't easy.
I don't remember Kefka being too hard. But while on the subject, Final Fantasy V's final boss was pretty tough. The problem though was there wasn't a good place to level grind to get to a higher level. Sure there were plenty of enemies in the final area leading up to him, but they only gave out GP or something. Forgive me if I got it wrong, it's been AGES since I played it, but it was the points that leveled up your classes, and no proper EXP.
Also on the subject of RPG's is what I assume is the final boss of Evolution, for the Dreamcast. Been a long time since I booted that sucker up, but I never beat the boss. Why? Cause leveling up was futile, since the boss leveled up too!!!! How cheap is that?
Dynamo Man from Mega Man and Bass is another painful boss. I finally sat down and beat the game yesterday, and I was yelling at the TV cause of him, and I don't normally do that. He's not too hard until you get to about three or so life points left, and then he jumps up into the air, and attaches himself to a machine that can refill his health bar to the max if left alone. To stop this, you have to destroy both sides of the machine, and the weakness weapon for him(basically a clone) can only destroy one side at a time. Even doing it super quick he'll refill at least half his health, and guess what? He can do that same thing AGAIN in the same fight, probably infinitely. You don't get any E or W Tanks either, only Eddy who may or may not give you items to refill your health/weapon energy. The only way to beat the guy is to get lucky and kill him before he recharges.
Funny thing is Wily is a pushover in MM and Bass. I beat him on my first try with the Mega Buster, and a lucky Eddy call in.
