Unironically the biggest instance of horse shit I've ever seen in an RPG.

D-Walker my man.

I did level Yuna. The bosses in the game use a move called "banish" that straight up dismisses your summon and you can't use it again that battle.
Unless you're overleveled with break damage limit and blow the boss up on the turn you summon it, the summon is gone when the boss takes his turn.

He's a culmination of all the moves you fought against and should've known how to counter by now. Were you just bored?

Pretty much, it didnt feel like it was a "use everything you learned" fight
It was a "do the same thing you have been doing since the 50% mark" but more half of my moveset (all arms and most techniques) the combat felt worthless, i stopped not put if difficulty, cause i only had like 5 attempts, compared to 7 on the ape. I actively lost the desire to continue due to boredom and frustration

Someone's been playing dragon quest 2.

I played Skyrim as a magic user, and one of the daedric artifact quests has you fight against a boss who is flat out immune to magic. Both me and the boss had access to healing spells, so I literally grinded up my one-handed level from 15 to ~80 against this boss over the course of a couple hours.

On the plus side, it's perfectly excusable to abuse save states for drawing the seals, because no one wants to deal with that.

funny that Absolute Virtue still holds the record for longest time before being beaten legitimately. not counting exploits and hacks, it was undefeated for 10+ years which is pretty insane for an MMO.
it only even got beaten once the level cap went up 24 levels and people were high enough level to actually not die to it straight away.

>10 years undefeated
Nah brah, it came out like '06-'07. The level cap didn't raise past 75 until after I quit (late '08-ish)

Fucking bizarre.

level cap went up like 2011/2012 or so. yeah not 10 years, my bad but still spanning years is a fuckin long time and still the record holder.

funny thing is when people sued SE for Pandemonium Warden taking 18+ hours to fight and players 'getting sick' it was a wake-up call to how fuckin casual the community had gotten.
