Whatever the Tales being told, odds are they include awesome bosses.

** The optional arena fights. Cless enters alone, fighting through a variety of mooks seen over the course of the game, when he's offered a special bonus for just one more fight. If you accept, Cless is healed, he demands, [[No Fourth Wall|"Start the music!"]], [[Crowning Music of Awesome|"Fighting of the Spirit" starts up]], and you fight the Wyvern boss one-on-one. It's basically a [[Palette Swap]] of the dragon boss described above, but it's [[Nintendo Hard]] in the best way possible. The fight tests your fighting prowess to its absolute limit, especially since you can't bring your own items into the arena. It's just a sweet-ass fight between man and dragon, set to amazing music.
* [[Bonus Boss|Sekundes]] in ''[[
** The cameo battle in the arena against Cless and Arche. Some gamers keep a save file just to have the freedom to fight them any time.
** The battle against Rassius. Depending on your skill, the difficulty setting, and your levels, he's either really easy, or a guy who will break you mid-combo and counter with his own that include two unique attacks, and thus will beat the crap out of you, alot. Either way, the guy is so cool that fighting him is awesome in itself.

** Fighting Yggdrasill for the third time at the end of the descent into the Tower of Salvation, when you can- and have to- win. It's quite satisfying to finally be able to fight equally with him and actually be potentially able to withstand his attacks instead of getting one-shotted. The final battle with {{spoiler|him in his child form Mithos}} is not necessarily disappointing, but doesn't have the same impact, although {{spoiler|you are essentially beating up the legendary hero who took on all the Summon Spirits by himself}}.
** {{spoiler|The third Sword Dancer}}. He's got tons of HP, with strong physical and magic attacks (not to mention a crapload of TP). Ya best be of high level, especially if you're playing alone; having other people tends to make battles [[Artificial Stupidity|a lot easier,]] not to mention way more fun.
Line 13:
** {{spoiler|Remiel}}. Combine [[Crowning Music of Awesome|probably the best boss theme in the entire game]] with the same sort of satisfaction you get from shanking Kvar. Recipe for AWESOME.
* Anytime in the series where you can go to an arena for a pleasant [[Bonus Boss]] experience, but the one that comes to mind is ''[[Tales of the World]]: Narikiri Dungeon 3''. The arena there is all five ''Tales'' heroes in the game (Cless, Stahn, Rid, Kyle, and Lloyd) in sequence, one-on-two versus your matched pair of [[Original Generation]] kids. All of them have their full spread of attacks, outrageous HP, unmatched tenacity, and their signature [[Limit Break|Hi-Ougis]]. But the true win comes if you fight your way through all five of them - and meet up with Stahn's sister Lilith, who will proceed to kick your ass by ''channeling lightning through a frying pan''. And if you beat her? You get the ability to dress your heroine up as her and gain all her attacks. '''Thunder Sword!'''
** This was a real treat for the hardcore Tales fans, considering she was [[Dummied Out]] of the original ''[[
* On a similar note, ''[[
** Nebilim in ''Abyss.'' She has the best Strike and Fonic artes in the game. She has absurdly high stats. She also sports a plethora of Mystic Artes like Big Bang, Mystic Cage, Rending Saber, and Innocent Shine. She also brings a brand new Mystic Arte that will horrendously slaughter anyone caught in it. Prepare to die over and over and very painfully each time, especially when Nebilim uses Indignation or Fragmented End.

*** Did we neglect to mention that [[Evil Is Sexy|that she's wearing skin-tight leather and sounds like she's really...''excited''?]]
** Cameo team battle in ''Abyss.'' You fight [[Tales of Eternia

'''{{spoiler|Flynn}}''': You do too!
'''Yuri''': Guess life's taught us both a few things.
'''{{spoiler|Flynn}}''': How many years has it been since we fought like this?
'''Yuri''': Uh... we fought in the coliseum. You forget already?
'''{{spoiler|Flynn}}''': Of course not! Just, y'know...a lot of stuff has happened. It's-
'''Yuri''': Yeah?
'''{{spoiler|Flynn}}''': It's just different.
'''Yuri''': Yeah...It feels different for me too.
'''{{spoiler|Flynn}}''': I wonder what it is.
'''Yuri''': Does it matter? I am ''so'' gonna kick your ass!
'''{{spoiler|Flynn}}''': No no no no no. ''I'm'' gonna kick ''your'' ass.
'''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 / [[
