Full Story: Final Fantasy XIII-2 Bosses Will Be Even Harder

I\'m glad that they have picked on up on the paradigm shift change time in battle, I used to change my party paradigm at the start of hard battles so that when I needed to change, the time spent changing would be shorter and I wouldn\'t get hit so much. I suppose a little extra difficulty would be alright but this could drive some players away as I have seen people get slightly stuck on XIII, which can be remedied sometimes with a slight tactics change or grinding, and then rage quit .

Ergh. The last boss battle of FF13 was pretty punishingly difficult if you didn\'t really grind the hell out of Gran Pulse missions. I actually gave up on it, and I\'ve NEVER given up on a final boss in ANY Final Fantasy game -- nor, actually, had much trouble with any of them. I\'m not sure this is good news.

I didn\'t have much problems with 13 besides the stupid instant death crud. It\'s what made the final boss make me want to punch a wall. Doom on main character was essentially a countdown to gameover.

I don\'t mind a challenge, but not something unavoidable or luck based.

If the bosses are harder, I want the AI characters to be smarter, not to say they weren't in XIII, it's just sometimes it's just a pain to try and get what your party members to do what you want them to do.
