Awesome Bosses/Tales Series: Difference between revisions

'''Yuri''': [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|Oh, it's on now!]] }}

** And if that fight really wasn't good enough, maybe one of the game's many [[Bonus Boss|Bonus Bosses]] are. Specifically, the cameo battle. ''Tales'' fans must have been wondering when a character from the Gamecube / [[PlayStation 2]] generation (i.e., ''Symphonia'', ''Legendia'', ''Abyss'') would show up as an extra boss in the main series. Such a character was finally chosen for the boss fight at the end of the optional Labyrinth of Memories. That character? ''[[Badass|Kratos]] [[The Stoic|motherfriggin']] [[Anti-Hero|Aurion]]'', the only character to ever beat out [[Tales of Destiny|Leon Magnus]] in [[Popularity Power|Tales popularity polls]] (besides Yuri himself, ironically), [[Hey, It's That Voice!|voiced by Cam Clarke]] as the original was, using all the same powerful techniques, including the first appearance of his [[Limit Break|Mystic Arte]], Shining Bind, on Western shores. Clashing swords with him is just as awesome as it was back in Symphonia. If not moreso.

** {{spoiler|The fight with Estelle.}} Most of the second act has been building up to the {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|The fight with Alexei]] and when you finally get there, he's not only got Estelle there to torment you, he forces you to fight her!}} And after {{spoiler|1=he gets what he's after, he leaves everybody except Yuri immobile, and then forces Estelle to try to kill them again, thus leaving you in a one-on-one battle against her, to [[Crowning Music of Awesome|The Moon]][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BXr3BSy6JM and The Shining Star.]}} All signs point to Epic.

* Whatever you may feel about the [[Contested Sequel]] ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'', it's hard to deny how awesome the final boss fight against {{spoiler|Richter}} is. Firstly, the party gets down to business after a relatively short conversation, a welcome reprieve from the villain going "[[Just Between You and Me]]" for ten minutes before any action starts; second, as they're fighting him, the party tries to [[Talking Is a Free Action|talk some sense into him]], reminding him of his [[Catch Phrase]] and ideals; third, the boss is [[Incendiary Exponent|on fire]]; and finally, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmz7XUtx8ns&fmt=18 the battle theme, "The Wilderness of Sadness",] is one of the most badass final battle themes ever. Seriously, the game is probably worth it for that song alone.
