What's your opinion concerning the "optional" bosses in the KH series?

They're awesome. But in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, they're pathetic.

It takes time to beat they-Vanitas in BBS in proud mode was 1.5 year to me.

But some is just awesome:  I enjoyed the Sephy fight in KH 2, I do it again, again.....

Well the poll title asks in general, but the options are specifically concerning difficulty. In general, I love the optional/secret bosses in every KH game thus far (perhaps excepting 358/2 Days, they were hard but simple, and mere heartless). I really hope they include many or at least several more secret bosses in KH3. With regards to difficulty, for the most part I love where it is at the moment. They're very difficult, particularly at lower-mid levels. Only by grinding can one even the playing field just a little. Keep it where it's at, just give us more My favourite fight so far is Mysterious Figure, that was ominous and intense.

So far I like them. They give something to do after finishing the story and are challenging. I didn't beat all of them yet though. And I can't wait to finally play the Remix so I can fight Unknown o/ 

 

The hardest for me so far definitely was Vanitas in BBS as well as Mysterious Figure. The latter I wasn't able to beat yet. I hope there will be many nice optional bosses in KH3. I mean it should have so much side stuff that it almost explodes anyway It's the last game (of the saga), c'mon!

There were optional bosses in Days?

It really depends on each boss, each game. And it's also a matter of maturity of the player? Because we can find patterns and way to dodge each move, which makes the battle easier with time and pratice really.

Optional missions and mission mode.

that they're optional? 

 

meh

It takes time to learn and predict their attacks. At first, they're usually tough for me. 

I think they're a good challenge long as you aren't over-leveled.  Julius was a bit of a disappointment simply cause he seems random, unless it's revealed KH3 that the ultimate mastermind behind the whole series is Pete's alter ego.

In an RPG, the only ones I can really respect are the bosses that are so insanely hard, that even when you hit the maximum level, they don't get any easier. This is why I prefer the secret bosses in Birth By Sleep, it takes real skill or concise cheating to beat them up. Of course, that could also be seen as a down-side.

 

(P.S: I know it's unrelated but just because I respect Feral Chaos doesn't mean I don't hate that Hell-Spawn with every fiber of my being)

I think the difficulty is fine, but I think there should be  lot more of them. Maybe five or six to work towards once you've beaten a game.

I like them a lot, but I have this really bad habit of fighting bosses when I'm overleveled so I don't really experience the challenge that other people do.

That would be sooooo lame. Every hidden unknown boss have made appearances in future games; Xemnas in KHFM, Lingering Will in KH2FM, Young Xehanort in BBS. But there is a difference between the unknown bosses and optional Xemnas, 'Terra' and Young Xehanort are all unknown bosses. Vanitas LS, Seph, and I believe Julius are just extra bosses to have fun. 

Worthy opponents

I never bother with them: I'm more of a " storyline and characters " player than " boss fights everywhere " one. 

They were always a challenge for me, but I think as more time goes on, the more experience you get, until older extra bosses like KH1 Sephiroth and Ice Titan are almost a walk in the park. The newer bosses are still very challenging, but given time and a couple of more sequels, they'll be more manageable than they are now.

Optional missions and mission mode.

Oh, those. Didn't really pay attention to Days' side stuff...

I think they're exactly where they need to be for bosses. I'm exceedingly horrible at fighting them but just means I need to get stronger and more patient x'D The only one I can beat right now is the Mysterious Figure....but he's pretty easy.

awesome good extra challenges 

They are cool but not that hard.I wish for more cool optional bosses and more harder.

Idk, I haven't done any optional boss fight

The optional bosses add replay value to the KH series, that is why I was disappointed when I found out that Julies was the only optional boss in 3D(evil Mickey theory?)

 

I love to beat the games around lvl 50 to 60 then replay it and gather all the Keyblades,Staffs and,shields.level up to level 80 to 100 then fight the secret bosses along the way, then I beat the game with the ultimate weapons so I can rape the final bosses.

 

I think my Favorite secret bosses were

1.Young Xehanort

2.Xemnas

3. KH1 Sephiroth

Love em. I agree with everyone else who says Julius was poop though.

As long as they're worth it, I'll always try until I beat them. Collecting all of the Ansem Reports in KH1 was worth it to me. As long as they give me incentive like that, no boss is 'too hard'. 

So far I like them. They give something to do after finishing the story and are challenging. I didn't beat all of them yet though. And I can't wait to finally play the Remix so I can fight Unknown o/

Dustflier.It depends on the game. I love all the optional bosses, but so far I've only been able to defeat KH2 Sephiroth, Vanita's remnant and Julius. (Honestly me defeating the remnant was a miracle)
