Bosses

For the regular enemies fought in random encounters, see Monsters.

This is a list of all the enemies that must be fought to proceed through the game. When fighting them, Escape cannot be used. Bosses do not respawn. So, for example, the Hoax version of the Sandora Elite is a boss, but the Black Castle version, although it is impossible or nearly impossible to avoid, respawns so it is not a boss.

Although there is a music track that only plays when fighting a boss, and if that song is playing, it is almost always a boss, there are bosses that are fought to the music of regular enemies, and there are regular enemies that get the boss track. There are distinctions that more substantially affect gameplay, that more accurately define a boss. Most importantly, and there are no exceptions, the same creature cannot be fought a second or successive times in the same circumstances (same location, etc). The encounter is usually unavoidable, and finishing the battle is required to advance the story. The exception to this, obvious because it is true in many games, is that developers purposely design some bosses to be optional, such as Kamuy and Faust. For the above reasons, boss minions, even though they are substantially weaker than their boss, are counted as bosses and not as regular monsters

There are two types: minor bosses that drop Gold, and Major Bosses that often are a big part of the story line, are generally more challenging, and give a lot of Experience. Exceptions include the Hero Competition and the Crafty Thief.
