DDFF Meme: Day 24: Most Infuriating Boss Fight.

 

You know, I could wax poetic about the curbstomp that was the defeat that goes here today, but instead of doing that, I shall provide a battle replay, and a mini-fic. I’d finally developed a strategy—after the defeats of Prishe, Laguna, Lightning and Yuna—but somewhere along the line something went wrong and I panicked. 

…then everything went wrong.

          In the space of a few moments I went from rage, to dis pear despair, and then looped right back to incoherent rage.

You know the moment: the moment when you realize you’re doomed, when the line from Dante’s Inferno comes to mind unbidden—“Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here…”
