Beat the game today, final boss was a disappointment considering how damn hard the final dungeon is.

Anyway the emperor dragon that resembles Invisible somewhat was pretty tough. He uses a bunch of lightning elemental attacks and then uses an ability to make him ignore any defense buffs. It doesn't ignore Provoke though so he continued to eat a healthy dosing of ice veil >_>

Evil evil möbius strip despite pwning you every time you challenge him early was a joke. Normal attacks are enough to kill him. His true form however isn't. He can inflict Charm, Sleep, Poison, Bleeding and Curse on your entire team. Not fun. He doesn't attack much though, I guess he relies on the status conditions to kill you (Doesn't stop him from being so hard though).

As for the final boss. Normal attacks can suffice against his first form (Unless you're 4 Mages or something). Its pretty easy but then again he's just there to wear you down for his final form. His attacks do 100 damage on my Knight O_O;

2nd form is pretty meh. He generally likes to use normal attacks which are pretty weak though sometimes he can do them 10 times in a row but he never does this whenever I have Thunder Veil up (;_;). He can also inflict Curse on the entire party... by far his most dangerous attack since he usually does this when my Mage is using attack magic which is not cool (Mage does 1008 damage with End of the World! Mage takes 1008 damage!). Like Etreant of Etrian Odyssey fame he also has an irritating be invincible for 1 turn move. Unlike Etreant's though this can actually hurt you but the damage is very small and magic ignores it. Finally his ultimate attack, Flowaro Swirl does 300 damage to the entire party... which means you're pretty much dead unless you're a Knight who is using the defend command (But I gave up when she lived since she's only there for drawing enemy fire and protecting my allies Mage). I think my Samurai could survive it as well but its unlikely she'll live the next turn like my Knight >_>

Anyway so yeah I beat the game! Great fun, I hope for an English release soon. I'm probably going to change my party since playing the game without a true healer does make the game harder than it should be. I'll probably ditch my Rogue in favor of a Princess.
