... I want my hour back...

I am not happy with how this boss is set up. Lets go over all of Altima's (final form) abilities.

Teleport 2: Can teleport anywhere anytime
Attack: Does 1 damage (not important)
Grand Cross: Chance to do all status effects and Instant Death. Same as previous form but now it is instant cast.
Mute: Small cross area effect, burns away all MP from target. One of the few attacks that can miss.
All-Ultima: Huge radius (Meteor radius). 999 damage. Can't miss. Instant Cast.
Fear: -60 Brave. Can't miss. Instant Cast. (if Brave is below 10, you turn into a chicken and cannot do anything until Brave is 10 again. Recover 1 brave per turn).
MBarrier: Instant Cast. Haste, Shell, and Protect.
L? Angelic: Essentially it is just like L? Flare. It hits random enemies from any range 1-6 times. This can miss but not that often.

As far as I can tell, it acts semi randomly on deciding what spell to use. But towards the end it did reveal it can do All-Ultima two turns in a row. Honestly, i wished it did that sooner and saved me an hour. But instead, Altima's favorite hobby is teleporting from one side of the ship to the other while casting L? Angelic that has infinite range. Then trolls you further by Fearing any possible threats, turning them into useless Chickens.

I am amazed this is what Archael came up with. The fight is not impossible (L? Flare could counter the Teleport 2 rather well) but this is one of those boss fights I simply say no to.

I will give my final thoughts in the next part and depending on votes on my update video (should be coming soon), I may consider showing off the original game to compare it with the patch.

My apologies for not being able to finish this fight.
