History YMMV / FinalFantasyExplorers

%%** Obtaining the megacrystals is a fairly easy process.
** Abherrant Alexander. His gimmick of hopping around the ''large'' stage, casting slow on you, and firing missiles on you is easily countered with a remedy and Haste. He still has the ''massive'' hitboxes and the blind-spots of Alexander, but a player is capable of simply running in and aggroing, especially with Regen placed up, making Abherrant Alexander a real punching bag. Compared to the other Abherrants, who hit you with new attacks that give you very little warning time, this is a ''huge'' breather.

** Obtaining the megacrystals is a fairly easy process.

* DemonicSpiders: Liches with how they love casting flare.

** Vampyrs, a real annoyance with how they constantly drain your health and have a small hitbox.

* ScrappyMechanic: The Custom Skill system is rather cumbersome to use, relies on getting [[LuckBasedMission lucky enough to get the crystal surge you want]], and then requires spending CP to buy a new spell. And if you want that spell to have a custom name, you have to rename it '''every time'''.

* SpiritualAdaptation: Outside of Asia, it's basically the new ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' until Capcom decides to bring ''Monster Hunter X'' [[NoExportForYou to the West]]. Now, it's become a case of DuelingGames as said title was localized as ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterGenerations''.

** Bahamut is a real WakeUpCallBoss in that he swaps between two stances (like Phoenix), and ''unlike'' Phoenix, will throw a megaflare down which ''sucks you into it''. As an added bonus, when Bahamut is on the ground, he can walk in your direction, and will literally ''kick you'' like a football multiple times. Sure, it doesn't hurt as much, but he usually kicks you ''again'' before you can even recover.
** Odin really ''really'' punishes you for being overly-aggressive. He will use Zententsuken ''multiple times'' - and if you think just picking him off from range will work, if you're far away enough, he'll ''charge'' at you. You can fortunately cheese him back if you are fighting him in the area where you can get the Hallowed Bolts cataclysm. You need it.

** The Abherrents are of course ''quite'' annoying:
*** Abherrent Dryad. You fight her in the area where most of the stage will gradually hurt you. And if that's not enough, she still has Very Bad Breath, and later on, will summon ''[[DemonicSpiders MARLBOROS]]'', who all [[GangUpOnTheHuman go right for you]] and spam bad breath - making it even ''harder'' to dodge her attacks. Oh, and if you focus on the Malboros, you're not watching Dryad. Malboros also don't die in a couple hits - unless you're a hard hitting class like a Dark Knight or Samurai
*** Abherrent Ramuh is fought in a stage wherein almost everything poisons you. (Guess who doesn't feel these effects?) He also adds a ''new'' attack to his arsenal... a "Screw you" to people who just [[AttackAttackAttack go aggro]] in the form of a thunderbolt attack that you have little time to dodge.
*** Abherrent Leviathan has a new trick up his sleeve: Tsunami. The trick to avoiding it isn't inherently obvious to a player, who would have likely written it off as an attack that merely inconveniences you before.

** Marlboros - for their ability to put nearly every status ailment in the book on you.

** Fenrir in ''general''. The boss gives even ''less'' of a warning than [[VideoGame/MonsterHunter Tigrex]] when charging - and it will do this multiple times. When it's at low health, it also ''[[TurnsRed splits in two]]''. You can simply outlast this, but they will also go after you, meaning you might run out of AP.

* BreatherBoss: Obtaining the megacrystals is a fairly easy process.

* DemonicSpiders: Marlboros - for their ability to put nearly every status ailment in the book on you.

* GameBreaker: With enough Luck and a lot of SaveScumming, the player can forge a Thieves' Anklet accessory that absorbs up to ten percent of the damage dealt to foes to restore health and AP. AP management no longer becomes a thought, and with [[AttackAttackAttack enough aggression]] the player will absorb more health than most enemies can deal.

*** Abherrent Dryad. You fight her in the area where most of the stage will gradually hurt you. And if that's not enough, she still has Very Bad Breath, and later on, will summon ''[[DemonicBats MARLBOROS]]'', who all [[GangUpOnTheHuman go right for you]] and spam bad breath - making it even ''harder'' to dodge her attacks. Oh, and if you focus on the Malboros, you're not watching Dryad. Malboros also don't die in a couple hits - unless you're a hard hitting class like a Dark Knight or Samurai

* ThatOneBoss: Being a ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' SpiritualAdaptation... this is to be expected.

* SpiritualAdaptation: Outside of Asia, it's basically the new ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' until Capcom decides to bring ''Monster Hunter X'' [[NoExportForYou to the West]].

* GuideDangIt: The "custom skill" system doesn't make much sense, and isn't very well explained in the game itself. Fortunately, there's an NPC who's more than willing to explain the ins and outs of the system.
