What's with the series' final battle difficulty progression? There's challenging (Devil, Tekken 2) and then there's just annoying.

You want easy mode on FF Tactics? Arithmeticians + Rubber Boots on all allies + Calculate Thundaga. Even more OP than Orlandeau. Haha. You want easy mode on FF Tactics?

Don't remind me. That one just came down to pure luck. At least with Mile High Club you'd be fine if you memorized the scripted events and knew how to trigger all of them. Augh. Don’t remind me.

Also the fight was littered with annoying dialogue. The Axom Rangers in Super Mario RPG were also extremely annoying. Also the fight was littered with annoying dialogue.

I managed to beat High Mile Club thing in hardened but veteran just bored me. One particular mission in FFTactics for PSOne had me throwing the controller and breaking it :P

It felt the same to me, and I liked all of the third person run-towards-the-camera stuff. You didn’t play much Crash Bandicoot?

Normal mode was a piece of cake, and I need to play on hard mode. My only deaths were environmental, and it was only in one level where you are near that generator with no air, can't remember what chapter, but it had a big spinning thing in the room. That end boss was awesome though, and the end was crazy. I didn’t have a problem with that fight, in fact I never really had a problem with the game at all.

During the final boss fight, your character gets dragged by a tentacle and you need to shoot a couple of things while hanging upside down. Even after completing that final boss fight three times now, I still don't understand how the controls work in that part. I always play with an inverted Y-axis, but that no longer makes a lot of sense when your character suddenly hangs upside down in your screen. To me, it would have made sense if MY right and MY up on the controller also made Isaac aim to HIS right and HIS up (basically, that the controls remained the same and that HIS right and HIS up would be left and down on-screen respectively), despite the fact that he was hanging upside down. However, for this final sequence, the devs suddenly decided that this shouldn't be the case and changed the scheme. This resulted in more than one incredibly unpleasant deaths for me, just because I couldn't figure out the control scheme in time. Actually, I had something similar in Dead Space.

Also the end boss of UC2 is super cheap and I hated that. Sorry, I was more talking about the end of UC2, but yeah, I hated the end of UC as well.
