>boss is massive
>you get an oversized weapon for the fight

Imagine a human being able to handle such an oversized weapon. What a great example of environmental storytelling. Makes you think, huh...

what is it with shoulder guards and swords being so large? is it a small penis thing?

It's difficult to create human like AI that can put up with the same restrictions that the player has, so devs get around this by using gimmicks such as huge weapons that deal large amounts of damage etc

the best kind of boss

Protecting the area around the shoulder is a practical thing.

what game?

>Boss tries to be this
>Except you trounce him
>Ending cut scene goes on like it was hard and he BTFO's you

>Boss fight
>The oversized weapon was at his side all along

Well, it's a way to emphasize super human larger-then-life capability in a very clear way. Shouldn't be surprising. For that matter if someone really did have super human strength of course they'd use bigger weapons too, the same way well trained strong soldiers can use heavier weapons then a flabby civilian.

This too though, "good" AI is very very hard in vidya because it has to be "artificially bad". It's trivial to make the system crush any human player, but that's not generally fun. The trick is to make it the right kind of bad, providing challenge but also ability to git gud against etc. Tough needle to thread and a lot of devs just fall back to stats for challenge instead.

>bossfight with oversized weapon
>all their attacks are lumbersome and awkward and deal oversized damage

Is he the knife, or is he the guy riding the knife?
If he is the knife, why is he letting some guy ride him?
Or is the guy riding him just a doll put there to trick his gang members into believing he's one of them?
Why does a Mario RPG boss bring up so many questions?

>gets his weapon stuck in the ground
>this is the only time you can attack him, while he tries to pull the weapon out

Tabletop miniatures and RTS units need to be identifiable. Since you're most likely going to be looking down on your units, the most visible parts for you are their helmets and shoulders. So Warhammer and Warcraft character styles with large upper bodies, big pauldrons, and huge weapons, and this style eventually into other genres of games.

That's my guess, anyways.

>Sephiroth's Masamune
Am I the only one who thinks that a sword this fucking long is stupid?

>final boss is the first boss revived

no it clearly might be entertaining

Its a reference to a mythologized real sword in Japanese history, a nodachi

Which asian country was this filmed in?

Did you just insult Sephiroth on my fucking board?

The one inhabited by emotionless bugmen.

How the fuck can I beat uncle in very hard?

Not Sephiroth, just his sword. It might as well be classified as a spear at this point.

W-what's up dog?
