Hats down, this boss is one of the best in my playthrough. I was getting mad over her, but liked her playful voice lines and kinda bitchy behavior. Also the music hits super hard, especially during melee fights. I’m kinda kinky to play that part again
No offense but that was the sloppiest battle against Sephiroth that I ever seen! You got lucky multiple times where you had me thinking "how did you not lose"
I love the Slayer's behaviour in this scene. He could've just left through the portal, but instead he got curious about the Marauder and wanted to see what he will do, never taking his eyes off him. At 1:02 he's more turned towards the portal as before, making it look like he deemed the Marauder unworthy of his time and will just leave. However, once he got called an usurper, you can see the Slayer's shift in direction, turning away from the portal and visually agreeing to give the Marauder the fight he's looking for.
I remember having so much trouble with this boss years ago when i first played on xbox 360. Coming back after Elden Ring, it was so much easier, I beat him in two tries. Adaptability is definitely the most important stat in the game.
Imagine if they took FEMC from slightly later (post 10/4) and she gets surprised to see Shinjiro alive (or even post 11/22 and she gets surprised about Junpei mentioning Chidori)
