Game- Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
Baten Kaitos is known to have one of the most difficult (and challenging) boss battles in RPG games. Even in ordinary encounters you had to think steadily and not rush into the fight. In boss battles, you had to think 3 turns ahead and organize you deck according to your opponent's weak and stong points. This gave the game a whole new level of in-depthstrategy, and is one of the things that made the game so awesome.
One particular battle came into my mind, the battle against Giacomo and his two followers (I forgot their names...) on the the airship. I had to fight against 3 very powerful enemies simultaneously. I lost the first 2 times, but that was enough for me to analyse their weaknesses, so I arranged my deck accordingly and fought them again. I had one of the most exciting boss battles ever, it really felt like I deserved the win because I actually came up with a tactic. One of the the three enemies was able to play 2 consecutive turns (it was really annoying) so I decided to get rid of him first then take care of the other two...and the tactic worked perfectly
.
The feeling I got by winning this battle was awesome...especially that this battle wasn't any ordinary battle. I know a friend who actually restarted the game from the beginning because he couldn't beat them....ya, its that hard. Baten Katios does have one of the best boss battles where thinking and strategy aren't choices, they're mandatory.
