Kuja's boss theme is no One Winged Angel, but it will do.

And he starts out by using Flare and Holy, the most powerful Black Mage and White Mage spells, before using Flare Star.

He can also use Curaga, which doesn't heal him as much as I thought it would.

Kuja was surprisingly easy, though it helped that I had Zidane's Ultima Weapon, and Steiner's Climhazzard did over 9000 damage. (Plus Steiner entered Trance mid-fight, so even his basic attacks did 9999 damage)

Now it's on to Necron, who comes out of nowhere in terms of story but seems like a fitting representation of the game's themes. (Fear of death and what you choose to do with the limited life that you have)

Grand Cross definitely seems similar to Supernova. (A big flashy astral-themed super move that hits players with a bunch of status effects) Thankfully not as long, though it petrified Vivi, made Zidane berserk, made Steiner blind, and killed Garnet, so it took me a bit to recover from that.

Thank goodness for Auto Regen and Ark's extremely long summoning animation.

Oh no, don't tell me Zidane's going to sacrifice himself to stop Kuja.

Kuja's last second redemption makes sense thematically, but it feels unearned.

I don't see why Beatrix has to quit.

Vivi's final letter feels like a punch to the gut.

And there's the credits. The post-boss cutscenes took about 20 minutes haha
