    Asuras Wrath - the antithesis of the saying "violence never solves anything" where our titular hero punches the very concept of existence into submission
  • @haydes1285
    Congrats to final fantasy for having near half the list
  • @ChilliDogDave
    fun thing about the FF11 boss, that specific boss not only made people ill from over exertion but it also set a new standard for future boss content never being longer than like an hour or two, the fact it went so long before being nerfed was crazy
  • @eurosalamander
    I remember finding Yiazmat in my first playthrough, saw its healthbar and just went "Nope, I've got a life." and just left the arena. Never went back, never regretted it.
  • Shoutout to Yakuza where if you're playing the game and reach the final boss, you can expect 3 hours of cutscenes and revaluations after the fact lol. I don't think I've ever beaten a Yakuza game before midnight lol
  • @seeleyboothfan2
    I know a few people who had the Adamantoise knock them back so far in FFXV that the battle cancelled out and they had to start from scratch after almost 45 minutes
  • @countcain
    I remember playing Bayonetta when I was still living with my parents. Sometime in the middle of the fight against Jubileus, my mum asked me whether I was done soon, so we could all eat dinner and then watch her favourite TV show. Oops.
  • @hjalfi
    That Culex death animation is so hilariously underwhelming it makes TerminalMontage's boss explosions look epic. It has to be deliberate.
  • @Michael_Lindell
    This video was the right amount of time and didn't ruin my evening plans, well done!
  • @rossjones1530
    If Yiazmat isn’t in here I’ll scream; it didn’t ruin my evening, it ruined my month, AND I NEVER BEAT IT
  • @UltimaLestat
    I love that Squaresoft used actual Final Fantasy music for that boss fight. As if the aesthetic nods weren't obvious enough!
  • @mkm7251
    Never played FF11, but whoever came up with the idea for Benediction knew EXACTLY what they were doing: breaking the hearts, minds, and souls of everyone playing that boss for that long.
  • @MmeCShadow
    How about the full gauntlet from Kingdom Hearts II? Starting with fighting a spaceship, fighting a suit of armor on a throne, fighting skyscrapers, fighting on skyscrapes against a man dual wielding lightsabers, then fighting him again but now he's in his zebra-stripe pajamas. It's about 45 minutes of active battle and QTEs.
  • @HandsomeSassage
    The final boss from Persona 3 took me hours because of how many times you have to deplete its health bar, and the ridiculously powerful attacks it has
  • @thesemipro822
    You forgot to mention that Yiazmat starts HALVING YOUR DAMAGE halfway through. You literally cannot do more than 4999 damage after that point per attack (assuming not breaking damage limit like in the video.) So its even longer than first stated
  • @Tony_409
    I'm surprised P3's boss wasn't mentioned because it had like 13 phases. Also the Adamantoise in FFXV can be beaten fairly quickly with one lategame item
  • @imperialdoctor
    I loved fighting The End! I knew how to kill him early, but I never did because I enjoyed the proper fight so much! Sneaking up behind him with the tranq gun and shaking him down for his camo was awesome.
  • @SigmaSyndicate
    I used the Ring of Lucii to beat the Adamantoise. Not only does it instantly end the boss fight at about half health, but it turns the mountain-sized turtle into a hilarious glitchy mess of spaghetti limbs. Fun.
  • @fripptricky5099
    I forgot about Ignis's "the turtle's all the way down" line after you beat Adamantois. Perfection.
  • @Eyeball117
    It's been over 10 years and I'm still hoping for a remaster of Asura's Wrath
