The majority of mobs/bosses have a 1-hit kill spell/attack.

It's so @#$*ing stupid.





SPOILER BELOW
























I was fighting Orphan and he fucking killed Lightning with Progenial Wrath. Instant death. He had 300,000 HP remaining as well... I can't believe how many boss fights/mob fights posses garbage skills like that. There's absolutely nothing fun with taking millions of health down for a boss to instantly kill you. My characters are pretty strong (8000/1000/7500 hp for my main party), and I have done a high number of the optional missions, but it seems this game was poorly designed in terms of fights. Monsters have a ridiculous amount of HP and are easy, except for the fact the majority posses a 1-hit killing skill. Absolutely BORING spending 3 minutes fighting random mobs as well.

arnt there accessories/spells that prevents sudden death?

Cherubs Crown X 4 if you want to prevent your asshole from being ripped open.

Orphan does not have a 1 hit ability, he simply has a hit that is supposed to put the pressure on you, dealing roughly 6-8k dmg based on your maximum health from what i saw. This can be minimized to 3-4k dmg by simply switching to sen/sen/sen or aas close to that as you can get. (use it right as a stagger ends because that's when he uses it mainly) and then make sure your healing yourself antiquity and he is a chump

really the only thing with a 1 hit kill is the sacrifice's death spell, everything else is just a big hit or something that is supposed to put the pressure on you, and make sure you're careful with them.

and with the 3 minute random fights, you might want to look at your tactics on fighting them, most random fights unless it is a big thing should only really take 30 seconds or so at that point in the game

ff13's end bosses are more than easy...first try always, never died ^^

I beat Both orphans in 2 staggers. Basically just juggled Rav + Rav + Com with occasional Med + Sen + Med. then when they Stagger I switched to Com + Com + Rav.
