Yeah, I think the multi round challanges are fine but I was also missing that single difficult super boss encounter. Though when I think about it we got Weiss only in Intermission and not base Remake. Pride and Joy was also in a multi round battle.
I hope in P3 we get a real brutal single fight encounter as well.
I also finished hard mode 2 days ago and:
Galian beast was also the first encounter that really gave me trouble. Killed me a few times. The final Sephiroth fight also got me.
In the final Roche fight I obliterated him but then he switched phases and almost instakilled me. Reprieve saved me and I could clutch it out.
I played around a lot with Cloud, darkside, sonic boom and Genji Gloves to get huge numbers with Infinity's End. Was a fun to get those huge hits off.

Yeah it's unfortunate there isn't anything with enough HP where a full power infinity doesn't end in overkill.
For those of you who have got the Plat, what was your build for Cloud for the last two legendary fights? Bonds of Friendship, by the time I made it to Bahamut I felt like I had a handicap going into the fight and got absolutely wrecked with how fast his attacks were. I imagine the next fight is worse.
For bahamut just sit in punisher mode and use counterfire for the attacks that are projectiles. The only thing that needs to be dodged is the throw.
