Final Fantasy XII HD Remaster: Judge Bergan Boss Fight (1080p)

[@seprithlicastia463]

What I love about this fight is how crazy Bergan sounds the first time you play, but on that second play-through... Wow, he starts to make sense and you really understand what he means.

[@hartantoanggoro]

He wanted for the best of Archadia, however he believes in pure destruction to ensure a slate clean for Archadia to rule the entire Ivalice.

[@gatocoomer8015]

Its because the gods (Occuria) were the evil guys all along?

[@hartantoanggoro]

@@gatocoomer8015 Occuria always wanted to be in control of fates but Bergan never pledge himself to Occuria, he only pledge to the strongest and he choose Vayne to be his master. He allows Venat to be it's vessel in order to show the world that there's no peace, only destruction follows those who don't submits to the strongest.

[@Novarcharesk]

This is only a good idea if all people could live without a god. Most cannot. Most people must have a god in their life, and they will find one. Hence why so many atheists are not truly without a god. They just see themselves, or more often, the State as the new mortal god to serve. Unless there is a very effective defence against that, then destroying mythical religion won't acheive anything. It will just be replaced by secular religion.

[@seprithlicastia463]

@@Novarcharesk The difference is that anything in the real world can be disproven using reason. If a capital "G" God says something is so, you are forced to accept it. If you make yourself or the State your "god" they are limited and susceptible to the real world. As this relates to XII, this is exactly what Vayne was planning to do; become a human-chosen Dynast-King to bring peace with near-mortal extinction the Occuria wanted. The point of XII's plot is that mortals do not need a "god" of any kind -- real or imagined. Peace is possible.

One of the best speeches by a villain in any game. HAAAAAARK!!!

[@machdude3366]

Bergan seems like he was just a wordy fanatic in the first playthrough, but after the plot unravels, you realize that it isn't just empty belief. The man was truly someone that saw the writing on the wall. He was definitely more intelligent than the brute he was portrayed to be.

[@Astaroth1-i5m]

He was intelligent and a sadistic sociopath too.

[@3DSDF]

Yep. Even the way he gestures during his speech makes him appear to be a lunatic. I love it

[@Garl_Vinland]

Ah, yes. No fancy moves, no cutscene ultimate half way through their health bar like other bosses. Just a brutal 6 hit combo that always wiped my party. Judge Bergan never knew what turn based was.

[@alfredpennyworththesuperbu9945]

He plays ffxv

[@BaconFrisbee]

The "I didn't like the story" people couldn't get past Bergan

[@Iychoenk]

They said they not like the story because they already finished it

[@ashleylooksfab]

They should really make the Judges harder to kill. They're too badass to fall so easily!

[@cameraredeye3115]

Bergan is actually a huge bitch to kill if you don't know what you're doing. The guy hits like a truck, and having 3 lesser Judges attack you from behind to start doesn't help things at all.

[@coolguy02536]

Yeah they intentionally gave Bergan low HP due to his strength and evasion.

[@hogonalog406]

I had a hard time because I cared to much about the story and didn’t farm enough experience. Guy wiped the floor with me.

[@bigtimetimmyjim6486]

Trial 100 against all 5 Judge Magisters is truly the hardest fight in the game if you do not decide to cheese it with Zeromus.

[@Pan_Z]

They were harder in the original game, like nearly every boss. Zodiac Age made the game easier for some reason.

[@swordmeisterguy6752]

First FF game I ever played and it STILL has the best combat system.

[@leonc9760]

You have to be a poet and have studied Shakespeare to become a judge, it's why they are so eloquent when they speaketh!

[@Jason-hk6fx]

Each judge is more charismatic than all of the protagonist party put together, but they are weak i remember to basically oneshot with a myst combo Bergan.

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

yeah, and that's not the worst of it... win that fight and you unlock a harder game mode where you DO NOT LEVEL UP. so clearing that same fight again will be a pain in the ass

[@JohnCortelli]

I always theorized that you can beat the game at level 1 with the proper licenses, so I guess it's time to put that to the test lol

[@ruben1151]

John Cortelli no need to theorize people done it before :P

[@JohnCortelli]

Didn't know youtube existed back when I first played the game so :P

[@TMWMF]

Each judge ins't more charismatic than at least Balthier. Then again, Balthier used to be a Judge. XD I guess I agree with you. They were weak though, granted for sure.

[@michaelmorningstar7933]

So glad the Spell Queue's gone. To see Ashe casting a Curaga while a Judge uses a Water Spout on a character is an incredible sight to see after playing IZJS so long and getting annoyed of having one person to cast Renew and waiting for it to finish so that the other can use Steal. I can't wait to see how three scathes will look like. :)

[@coolguy02536]

That's the first thing I hoped for, 3 Scathes.

[@arthurnewton1125]

It's legit one after another. The game can't (or won't) process three spell animations like that. Easily exploitable, too.

[@Conchobhar]

3 CHEERS FOR SCATHE

He was the hardest judge out of him, Guis, and Gabranth. Bergan was merciless.

[@maddocstein6807]

Meh. I daresay Gabranth still takes the cake. While Bergan is a bitch with his evasive counters and ridiculous speed boost in critical condition, but Gabranth with his unlimited combo works attack for example still made me struggle more. That said, after the beating the game once I decided to farm Seitengrats, so bosses are nothing to worry about anymore. 4 shots and Bergan was dead

[@maddocstein6807]

C'mon. 1 of those almost breaks the game, but farming them? And I agree, in the original I very much struggled with both Bergan and Gabranth. Those 12 hit combos of 400-500 damage per hit were really annoying. But if I scale those 2 down to the same level and equipment you have access to, I daresay Bergan might be a bigger challenge, since you lack proper healing magic and his almost instant charge time + evasive unlimited range counters make him a pain to deal with

[@jonathanpretty5031]

@@harrydrake4173 eh, it's my favorite one. Who cares?

[@admontblanc]

@@harrydrake4173 it had the most lovable cast, which goes a long way to impress the minds of the players. Since the stories are ever only remotely connected from one FF to another, I never felt guilty at having started with 9, which I loved, then playing 10, which blew my mind back then (it also helped that I was a teenager back then so the main characters being around my age made it relatable). 11 was the first MMO type they did so I never touched it, and made use of emulators instead to play all the old ones. It was then that I finally got to play 12, only a scant few years after its release. It impressed me even more than 10 had, it was gorgeous at the time, being released at the end of the PS2's life cycle it had perhaps some of the best graphics you ever saw on that machine, and that running nearly flawlessly in a game with a beautifully detailed, vast open world. The story was so good that I loved it all despite recognizing that the characters you spent the most time playing as were kind of bleak, though to Vaan's justice, his pov parts were engaging enough up until Basch spills the whole truth out to him, afterwards he just merely feels like a sidekick comedic relief. I guess the story was actually meant to play out like that, each act had a different character it mainly focused on, but to RPG players it's not easy to ask them to somehow relate to 6 or 7 different people, some of whom might not have been written the most interesting way. A good example would be GRRM's ASOIAF series, vs something like Hobb's Farseer Trilogy. ASOIAF is by far the better story, epic in both scope, style and drama, while Farseer has a much more relatable MC, by virtue of said MC being written from an first person perspective and the story beginning with him as a sort of blank slate at 5 years old, vs ASOIAF's endless cast of characters all written from in a mix of first and third person perspectives, many with their lives previous to the story's beginning already full of history, faults and virtues.

[@RicochetForce]

Nah, Zodiac Age is the definitive version of the game. Between the QoL changes and new content there's no reason to ever touch the vanilla or IZJS versions of the game.

[@dylpickle0192]

I second that FFXII:TZA is worth it. FFXII is my 3rd favorite game out of the series (FFTactics being 2nd!) the changes in the battle system makes it significantly better. The Trials, NG+ and NG- are great features included as they make up the lack of difficulty (except for NG+). And the remastered orchestrated music is so amazing. The Ivalice games has some of my favorite songs in the series so it's refreshing to hear it all orchestrated. Basically it's like reliving the experience of playing for the first time again. So... If you really enjoyed FFXII, The Zodiac Age is definitely worth it.

[@1r0zz]

it's a remaster, they didn't remake all assets and graphic systems for this.

[@supescape6323]

Also a remake would mean to tear it down and start from the ground up, graphics, mechanics, retouch the story, for example in remake they could make Vaan and Penelo more relevant, integrate them better to the plot.

[@1r0zz]

that's said Vaan and Penelo position is perfect as it is :P

[@coolguy02536]

You're all backwards Slav

[@Crawver]

There is nothing about this game that would make it a remake. It uses all the same assets, and the same base code as the original, just all updated. That is a remaster. A remake would be a complete rebuild from the ground up, with completely new assets, completely new code, and often (but not necessarily) a fair old amount of change to the way the game will play. The FFVII remake is a good example of the difference between a remake and a remaster.
