10 MORE Bosses Removed For Being Too Hard

10. Dragoon Shirley - The Legend of Dragoon

Classic RPG The Legend of Dragoon features a rather unconventional boss fight against the Dragoon Shirley, which eschews the expected combat in favour of a Q&A session where Shirley asks you a series of questions to test your worthiness and you simply need to give the correct answers.

Sony apparently originally programmed a more typical, combat-driven boss fight against Shirley into the game, before they stopped for a second and realised one major issue - every enemy in the game has unlimited MP.

And given that Shirley has the White-Silver Dragoon Spirit in her possession, this combo would theoretically allow her to fully heal herself every single turn, making her effectively impossible to beat.

And so, the apparently fastest solution was to simply rip the boss fight out of the game and rework it as a non-standard "battle" where you just need to answer a few questions instead.

It certainly works well enough as something different and unexpected, but if you're wondering why this happened at all, there's your answer.
