** 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 / [[Play Station 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.

** Team battle mode in the coliseum of the [[PlayStation 3]] version. Your chosen party of four will fight {{spoiler|Schwann and his brigade (Leblanc, Adecor, and Boccos)}}, then {{spoiler|Clint, Tison, and Nan plus a helmeted Karol}}, ''then'' {{spoiler|all four previous Tales cameos - Barbatos, Shizel, Dhaos, and Kratos}}...and ''THEN'', just when you think the awesomeness has already overloaded, {{spoiler|''the rest of your party'' comes in to fight the four you chose}}. Each of these battles is like a full-blown fight against a rival adventuring party, {{spoiler|especially the last one, for obvious reasons,}} and the fact that it's all in a row makes you wonder if even the [[PlayStation 3]] is powerful enough to contain such epicness!

** {{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.
