Demyx is not actually that hard

Odradek

I have never been killed by his "Dance water dance" attack.

Counterpoint: Your favorite series is Dark Souls.

Obā-san

p sure his favorite series is Neir

It's really easy if you use that aerial vacuum attack.  Also, I cheesed him with Valor when I did it.

I hear the rematch in Final Mix is actually kind of hard, since the fight ends on a 99x water spam.

Fun KHII fact: You're 4/5x more likely to go Anti Form when fighting Organisation XIII members.

Bee

Yeah, see, that can get you killed on Demyx.  Antiform is terrible.

Fossilmaiden

It was actually buffed to do double damage in FM. It's one of the best ways to beat Data Demyx. (The other being Wisdom Form)

I refuse to call any boss in KHII difficult.

I've beaten Sephiroth in KHII. I have not beaten him yet in KHI

Play Final Mix and fight the Lingering Will and then get back to us. :P

Yarrun XIX

Buy me Final Mix and maybe I will :P

(He's generally considered the hardest or second hardest fight in the whole series, next to the Mysterious Figure from BBS)

I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying that, by my own experience, base KH2 is easy peasy compared to KH1

Bee

Lingering Will really just seems like every fucking boss in Dream Drop Distance, except he can actually be staggered for a combo or two.  I'm kind of used to cheap-as-hell continuous attacking by now.

Odradek

Sephiroth in KH1 had so much fucking health they literally couldn't fit it onto the screen, so you have to drain an invisible health bar to start seeing progress.

You were also supposed to fight KH1 Sephiroth at a point in the game when you could drain one of those (invisible) healthbars in like 6-7 hits.  His problem wasn't the health, it was the continuous attacking with almost no opening -- and at least he staggered once you knocked him out of it.  Also he was a top-tier bonus boss and you expect him to be extremely hard.

Pretty much every other boss in Dream Drop Distance on Proud or Critical, starting with the very first one, was a KH1 Sephiroth.  Except they didn't stagger, and you couldn't just superglide to the opposite side to chug a megalixir because they were a quarter the size of the arena and could leap across it faster than you could move away.  Half of them could only be feasibly fought by running away while popping homing magic behind you, because if you got close they'd sodomize you instantly -- and even then it was partially luck.

Hell, the penultimate boss of DDD spams an entire army of the BBS bonus boss at you.  They're each just about as powerful as he was.
