HEY! WARNING! I’VE NOT GONE INTO SPECIFICS, BUT IF YOU’RE PLAYING THE GAME YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO READ THIS ENTRY, JUST IN CASE YOU THINK IT CONTAINS SPOILERS! OKAY?

You have been warned.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!

HOW MANY FUCKING BOSS FIGHTS ARE THERE AT THE END OF THIS GAME????????????

WHO THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE IN ANY FUCKING WAY ANY FUCKING FUN AT ALL????????????

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, I say it!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bloody hell, really. This is just stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.

Okay, I’ve just checked a FAQ and I’m now at the final, real boss fight. Unfortunately, it’s apparently a much harder version of a battle I only just scraped through earlier. As I used items in that battle that I consequently no longer have, I’m not at all sure I actually sure I can win this battle, at least not without about many more hours levelling up. (I’ve been playing for about seven hours today and my main character has gone from level 38 to level 39. That’s how slowly levels come at this stage in the game.

After I got past the boss I was moaning about earlier the game got good again for a while. Why? Because it wasn’t just throwing stupidly powerful enemies at me to slow down my progress, that’s why.

Argh. Argh. Argh. Argh.

Right, okay, let’s try this boss…

If I can’t kill him after over sixty hours of playing this stupid bloody game I’m going to be even more bloody annoyed than I am now. Why? Why ruin a perfectly good game like this? It’s just difficulty for the sake of it. I don’t want to have to wander around places I’ve already been for twenty more hours building up experience and money. I don’t want to be at a complete disadvantage because I didn’t build my characters correctly right from the start, didn’t look up alchemy FAQs to get all the receipes for the best weapons, didn’t cheat the casino.

And, let’s face it, I’ve been doing fine. But why throw all these bosses at the end of the game? And that bloody test of how well you remember the story that came in the middle of them? Why? Why? Why?

Hmm, should probably go back to the top and add a spoiler warning.
