Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Re: Boss Battles

1. Legend of Legaia had a particular mantis-like boss in a garden. I forget the name of it. I think I was in 5th or 6th grade at the time.

2. Yeah, it was pretty damn difficult boss for me. It had this move that could constantly cause the status effect 'Rot', which prevent your characters from using certain limbs. (This is important considering the unique battle system.) I was too young to understand how to use anti-status effect accessories, so I was really at a disadvantage.

As an aside, this is why FF8's Junction system was totally lost on me. I also didn't understand how to use FF7's elemental materia to help with battles. At least you could overlevel in FF7 and beat the game easily; I couldn't finish FF8 at the time because I just didn't get it.

3. Absolutely no, hahaha. The characters were flat and plain to me, even back then. I never really got an attachment to characters until I started playing FF7. Even SaGa Frontier was so-so for me when it came to attachment.

4. The boss music for Legaia is admittedly kinda frantic. I'm currently replaying it and the music really does set a desperate tone. As a kid, I'm pretty sure it made me feel some pressure. Add to that the fact that I was already staying up WAY past my bedtime just to finish this boss. The battle seriously felt like it took hours, and I swear I thought I was going to die (in game) at least three times.

5. The rest of the game is fairly slow. The world map music is kinda simple and ambient in a way. Talking to NPCs in the town isn't complicated. Fighting with regular monsters isn't too difficult. It was just that boss with its status effects that threw me off. I managed to beat it, but I was seriously agonizing over it like the little kid I was, lmao.

BONUS:
MGS3's battle against The Boss. That was the one fight I never wanted to do, mostly because of attachment to the characters. My brother and I both wept terribly during the ending.
