Anyone ever notice that more and more these days a final boss' minions often are more of a pain in the ass to beat than the actual boss is?
I bought Kingdom Hearts a little less than a week ago and I beat it this afternoon (got the “secret” ending too.) The hardest storyline boss fight IMO was against the Ansem possessed Riku while Ansem was little more than an annoyance. Then again I finished the End of the World shortly after beating the Hades Cup at Olympus Coliseum so maybe I was still just jacked up after the fights with Cloud/Squall (I refuse to call him Leon) and Hades.
I felt the same way about the Darth Malik fight in KOTOR. There's quite a bit of difference between difficult and obnoxious pain in the ass, and Malik definitely fell into the latter category.
