Biblically accurate boss fight.

[@Izanagi-Arsene]

well that and maybe they go for the only party member with raise/res, or alternatively uses some debuff or ailment that hits the entire party at a point where you don't have any viable means to resist it and even if you did you gotta spend a lot of time grinding money or resources to obtain it... Or it's that one boss fight where the difficulty spikes up without warning and you're lead to believe it's an unwinnable battle but then you get hit by the game over screen as your party gets leveled.

Usually there are 3 reasons the boss only attacks 1 party member: 1. The party member has the least total HP 2. The party member has a weakness to the boss's attacks 3. Because the boss just says "fuck you" to that specific party member

[@luxraider5384]

4. RNG abuse by the boss

4. The party member has healing abilities, which is apparently so infuriating and despicable that the boss decides that party member has lost all right to live

4. Story reason and the boss genuienly hates the character he is attacking and will prioritize him before the others

[@janfeyen592]

The idea of having the enemy performing a fake out as an attack is kinda genius. Giving the player chance to dodge if they guessed the fade out correctly could be a cool mechanic too

In Blue Reflection: Second Light there is actually a mechanic where one of your characters can end up in a short 1v1 with a boss once you Break the boss twice, and it's heavily weighed in your character's favour since once you counter the boss' attacks twice with well-timed button presses, the boss stops attacking and you get to just raise the damage multiplier to like 5x the normal damage (which carries over to basically the rest of the fight) The boss can also initiate the 1v1, in which case it attacks more often making it harder to time the counter, but the boss still Breaks after two counters and then takes massive damage

A real head-turner.

[@TheBIindReaper]

I was kinda also expecting the case where the Boss does a Random Targeting Multi-Hit attack and it all just goes to the same guy.

[@pyronation8721]

I WOULD'VE CRIED LOL

[@jeaddhist]

Their's also fights where bosses specifically avoid certain members for story reason. One that comes to mind iirc is that Rude from FFVII has a crush on Tifa so specifically avoids hitting her unless she's the only character still alive.

[@Naruxos07]

Another good example is Yakuza 7. If you have female characters in your party, Kiryu would avoid attacking them.

[@pizzaofdarkness4041]

Also in FFIX. Spoiler. Black Waltz No. 2 only goes after two party members except Garnet because returning her back to Alexandria alive is No. 2's main task.

[@Bantorain93R]

Wild ARMs 3! In the first fight against the female Prophet, she will only attack Clive due to him insulting her “beauty.”

[@keeganlafferty1395]

in FFVIIR Rude isn't as hesitant to attack Tifa to my knowledge BUT if his command grab move catches her then he just gives her a sort of karate chop to the back, where if Cloud or Barret get caught by it then he freaking yeets them

[@artanaillazentujin3449]

its even more apparent in his firs tfight agaisn tcloud and aerith. i think rude just wont hit women in general. just spams sleep instead@@keeganlafferty1395

[@Maxler5795]

Fun fact, yakuza 7 does the opossite. Theres a boss in the game who literally will _never_ attack a female party member.

[@christianokoye9491]

Ay I love the detail of like FFX where the camera goes to the enemy and they do nothing for a sec, and then they make their move. Good shit as always

[@t0x1cfire75]

I've been playing star rail lately. And this is so true. Tingyun despite being one of the squishiest characters, is always targeted twice as much as the rest of the party combined.

[@BrickFlairMMA]

Star rail is good as I been playing it a heap as well! I didn’t get pull jing yuan and I’m salty about it lol or seele actually

[@jhxe]

Tingyun hidden passive: Aggro increases 9000x

[@thvmr1815]

I use her with Trailblazer preservation since they have taunt that allows to Tingyun to live much longer

[@nunyabusiness3652]

Same except with Gepard like his very existence just offended every single enemies and their ancestors.

[@t0x1cfire75]

@@nunyabusiness3652 well gepard at least has both the innate higher aggro value from the preservation class, and a trace which increases his aggro value even further. Tingyun has none of that, but is still targeted just as much.

[@purpleplasma4824]

Always the healer.

[@nolsee1176]

It’s the way the looming boss shuffles over to punch and kick him that really gets me, lol

[@Mysterey101]

1:05 And then the pump fakeout at 1:16 had me dying 😂😂

[@Fanthrose]

This is...hilariously accurate at times. I've had a few too many boss fights where the boss just absolutely HATES one of my team members to the point where it's almost worthless bringing them back to life simply because they'll get beat the fuck down before they even get a chance to do something.

[@ernestorodriguez3546]

I don't know how this man manages to make such spectacular, unique videos, each one better than the other, the FFX soundtrack is wonderful

[@BrickFlairMMA]

This and the Persona 5 royal soundtrack are the two best ever imo

[@ernestorodriguez3546]

@@BrickFlairMMA Fax 👍FFX is a more special game for me but both video games are impeccable, as are their soundtracks

[@PixelNeoGamerPlays]

As a JRPG player, I can relate to this party member struggle 😅

[@hariman7727]

I love when bosses do this, especially when there's a lot of healing available and buffs, so I can just use that party member as a tank.

[@PixelNeoGamerPlays]

@@hariman7727 Yeah. Same as well. Turning the healer as a damage sponge when needed. Although, I feel my party member healer wouldn't appreciate it >.

In dragon quest this usually means that your in the front and need to back the fuck off

Tingyun in honkai starrail be like:

[@sync4606]

100% always a character you need for team chemistry to end a fight quickly, or someone pulling the most weight and you'd lose for a favt if they died

[@SoraThe1WingedAngel]

Love that you own a Red Queen. One of my favorite swords in video game history. The fact that you can rev it is genius. Amazing work on this skit, Cil. It's crazy how you just keep getting better every year.

[@theimage7030]

2:00 that 2 piece was vicious 🤣

[@Cooperink]

Missing the part where the boss downs that party member and once you revive them, they straight go back to targeting them

[@JayceCH.]

He activated the cinematic phase 2 transition at the end 😂😂😂

[@officegossip]

The epic staredown in turn based JRPGs can never be beat. This is funny asf.

[@ExpEcer]

I've never seen such an AWESOME final boss!!! The pure depth of creativity 😮😮😮

[@TupocalypseShakur]

Reminds me of how in Persona 3, Nyx for whatever reason will always target Aigis and Akihiko. Aigis will always get crit, while Akihiko gets charmed repeatedly

[@mylesno9]

I remember when I was playing ff7, and the snake just kept killing aerith to the point where I just gave up😔

[@siegel947]

That is what I rethink aeris strategic planning to add summons materia while using white magic and haste on her.

[@Mana7Origin]

He's not losing HP anymore. They went off the script.

[@midwestmonster9886]

The funniest part for me is simply the boss's body language during the idle animation. Nobody would question that in a video game. But seeing it live action, it is absolutely ridiculous.

[@Billioncompany786]

This is accurate af 🤣🤣 Starts as an RPG turned into 2.5D fighting game.
