Remember him .If you do chances are you said one of the following ,either (A)ha ha ha ha I terminated your a$$ or (b) I'll have my revenge...........................someday.But to me emerald will have a special place in my gaming career as my first mega boss. I remember it like it was yesterday,I had just gotten through that fight with that annoying big clawed robot,and had just sunk the shinra sub.My ego was feeling rather large and at the moment I thought i could take anything this game could throw at me.I had just gotten control of the the sub in time to notice the big green thing floatin my way, so I went to the surface and saved(I may have had a big ego at the time but I'm not stupid).I figured I would go back down there,kick it in the flippers,take its money and go on about my day.

about nine seconds later I was staring at the game over screen wondering how emerald kicked my ass in two moves.Me and friends thought that was a glitch he just hit me for 9157 damage in one attack.The next day a quick trip to the local barns and noble games guide section and a little diggin told me just how crazy this fight is.

to make it worse emrald had a freind.


I wont even elaborate my feelings about this bastard.lets just say I hate him, his quicksand, his ultima spell, and his pimp slap of destruction and move on.

But these two will be rememberd (at least in my opinion) as the duo that started the super bosses.An enemy ( or enemies) that you don't have to fight, makes the last boss look like a joke. AND WILL KICK YOUR SORRY ASS WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE.

I started noticing this trend among the later square soft (or squae enix if your not that old) of including these bosses in there games.By disc three in FF8 I hadn;t even heard the word weapon and I was somewhat relived, MY freind had given me a tip about the deep sea research center and the strongest GF(summon). One bahamut boss battle and an annoying steam puzzle later I found myself at the very bottom of the deep sea center.My friend told to use the last 10 steam pressure units pull the lever ( Laughed like hell) and hung up.

now Im not new to this, I knew some towering behemoth was gonna fly through the wall the moment I looked at that switch. but I was lvl 100 and had the lion hart(heart, whatever) what could go wrong.


Two words, light pillar

Ultima weapon( the original pain in the ass) cheapest attack. An attack that no matter how powerful you are IT WILL ALWAYS KILL YOU.I musta went at this thing 25 times before I won.I thought the worst of it was.done, then I met omega.

Well not to drag this on the point im tyin to make is I actually enjoy these fights.My friends however loath these fights with a passion. so to end my first real C-blog( I don't count intros) I leave a question.

Do you look foward to these fights like me or do you not ven bother with em.

oh and some honorable enemies whose heads hang on my gaming wall.


O.K I wish yiazmat was hanging on my wall but I'm workin on it
