banananor 11/22/19 12:17:34 PM #25:	When I first went through the game, Yunalesca was the one I had the most trouble with. Second place was probably BFA. Back then, I was morally opposed to grinding levels, and considered a game that required grinding to be bad. Additionally, I believe she was the first major boss after the armor crafting mechanic was introduced. I did not want to craft armor.... I think I eventually just looked up what to do here on gamefaqs, which was to grind materials and craft something or other. I'd also like to add that the narrative leadup to the boss was powerful, but also frustrated me. Yunalesca is barely even a villain. (big spoiler beats ahead) Okay. So there's a gigantic invincible monster. It will literally gobble up 10% of the population every year or something ridiculous like that. We've already seen it effortlessly demolish the most advanced army in the world. However, there is one thing we can do. ~~Ten percent of the population will be killed each year, unless one (1) volunteer every 10 years volunteers to sacrifice themselves. This will send it to sleep for a decade.~~ ~~It's not evil to encourage this. The magnitude of suffering alleviated by one person is immense.~~ Attempting to kill the only person capable of facilitating the sacrifice is evil. People should be permitted to take on this sacrifice if they want- why take away that choice? The protagonists are just lucky they live in a video game and have enough DEF and HP and POW stats to actually defeat the invincible monster. ~~The only thing yunalesca did wrong was lie. She said that if we put the monster to sleep enough times it would eventually go away forever.~~ ~~But is that worth getting all mad and killing her over? She didn't create the monster. the actual deal is still very strong.~~ anyway, the combination of difficulty, length, emotional stakes, and the odd disconnect i had with the party's reasoning all added up to a very memorable boss fight --- You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured. <cite>banananor posted [p:930530272] in Trdl's Top...
