What were your favorite dungeons and bosses in the game? Which bosses and dungeons did you find the hardest?
What are your thoughts on the final bosses and final dungeon area?
What about the music for the final bosses, did you like it? Did you notice that the Kuja's last boss battle had Nobuo Uematsu get inspired by Black Sabbath's Iron Man song? Did you fight any of the secret bosses like the Tantarian, Hades or Ozma? Hehe Hades was a lot of fun to discover by accident in the final dungeon. Ozma is insane though.
I enjoyed the trek through the final dungeon area, having to fight a certain amount of classic FF bosses up to the next checkpoint and I really liked the environments.
Necron was insane the first time I fought him, that Grand Cross attack is scary with all those status ailments. I would grip my controller in fear every time he did that attack. A lot of people say Necron was random but he was hinted at a few times in the game if you read the writing on the dungeon walls talking about the god of death. The game does deal with the themes of life and rebirth and death so I never felt that it was weird to have Necron as a final boss. Plus FF9 was paying tribute to past FF games and we all know how FF3, FF4 and FF5 had random final bosses appear out of nowhere so it was trying to recreate that again.
How did you guys do against him and what was your final party? Where you doing 9999 Damage with Steiner?

My favorite bosses in the game where the Black Waltzes. They're very distinct and truly made me concerned the first time I played through the game. Most of the other bosses besides the last dungeon are completely forgettable. I replayed the game a few months ago and I'm sitting here struggling to remember any boss except for the Black Waltzes and Kuja.

I wasn't a fan of the final area, it was a little too sci fi for me. My favorite area was cleyra but my favorite fight was against the black waltz while you were on the airship.

The dungeon discussion has come up in other threads and the podcast... I never really thought about the last dungeons of these games. When I get to this point in the game, it is usually 1am and I know that I will be staying up until the end. I try to power through or give up and weep when I hit 3am and am not even close.
But now that I am at the point of replaying these only an hour at a time, I am going to think of these end dungeons as an important part of the game. Thanks for opening my mind up to that Shinryu.
Off the top of my head, FFVIII's seems to be the last good final dungeon out of the main games. I can't quiet remember IX's or XII's, but X's I just walked through in 5 minutes (skipping treasure and encounters and getting frustrated at the stupid light room) and XIII's was just a two hour long battle in which my PS3 played against itself.

Yeah in my opinion FF8/FF9 had the real good dungeons of the FF series. FF10 was very short and boring final dungeon. FF12 was really short and brief too. FF13 had a decent final dungeon area though. I always enjoyed the final dungeon areas in the games. Anyway glad to help out.
