>50 Million HP
>Instant Death Attacks
>Reflection that can fully heal him

What the fuck were they thinking?

FFXI boss in a single player game

You can literally just outrange him with that one bonus range bow. It takes forever, but he can't do anything.

>50 million hp
Is that it?

They probably weren't tbqhwy

What they were thinking of was dabbing on the game's previous Director for being a dinosaur and making development difficult.
What they achieved was making a boss that is interesting, memorable and fun once you know what you are doing, So much so that we still have threads on this boss to this day as opposed to some other superbosses that are easier or more traditional.
Yiazmat will go down in history as one of the greats.

>There are people who thought beating this thing is that impressive when it's just a HP sponge

>>3862230
what boss would be impressive? Other than the obvious wizardry and ultima examples.

>fun
Nothing about him is fun, especially on the original version that had a damage cap of 9,999 and no speedup options. It was literal aids. The only people who "enjoy" it probably played on TZA at 4x and doing shit tons of damage. Think the world record is like 1min 40s. That's like a 7 minute fight if you use the original speed from the PS2. If you throw in the original damage cap there's no way you beat him in less then 1-2 hours lol.

Jarpigs have always flunked with the superboss concept.

Go dive into a pavement, retard. Nobody like you here. You're personification of everything that is wrong with modern gaming.

They literally designed the game as an offline MMORPG from top to bottom. Why do 12copers deny it, why do 4th edition D&D people deny it? WoW was the biggest thing in the history of videogames at the time, they obviously had "offline MMORPG" written on a whiteboard and circled 50 times

>game is piss easy for the entire main game, requires zero thought
>except 1-2 super bosses at the end which require austistic levels of grinding and super specific strategies to beat
Is there any ff game that has an actual difficulty curve?

This didn't really start until 7, the earlier games had optional superbosses but you could beat them just by having an endgame party with good gear
