I've been stuck at the final phase of the last boss for 4 hours. I get his HP down to 10% and I fail the DPS check at the end every single time.

I guess I'm supposed to stagger him but it's almost impossible to hit him because of all the knockback.

I just beat the game today. This fight got me a couple of times, but I ended beating that last phase by holding onto Cloud's limit (which I had at level 3 thanks to the enhanced accessory that automatically maxes out the limit level) until that final moment. I also held Aerith's limit for the first attack that reduces you to 1.

As to the game, I loved it. I'm still digesting the ending, It's definitely not as heartbreaking as in the original, but that's intended I think, but I can see people being mad about it.

That's offset by what they did with Barrett and Dyne, how they handled the Nibelheim massacre, and Zack and Biggs.

I think certain parts of the finale will be as gutwrenching as possible:

-Sephiroth breaking Cloud at the crater
-Cloud and Tifa in the Lifestream (If Square is smart, they will record this session with Cody Christian and Britt Baron in the same room)
-Vincent and Lucrecia
-Yuffie and Godo in Wutai/Yuffie telling Sonon's family what happened
-Reeve telling Elmyra what happened to Aerith
-Cid and Shera
-Nanaki seeing Bugenhagen die
-The ending

If you think about it, it's almost more heartbreaking. Cloud actually saved Aerith, but she deliberately used HER (the white ones) whispers to "overturn the call". Aerith knew what had to be done and wouldn't let Cloud save her.

Notice that, when you fight Jenova Lifebringer that everyone in the party besides Cloud is so enraged that their limits automatically activate.
