I'm wondering if the fight would be easier if I gave Rosa the white mage equipment that boosts her magic power, if there is any. I know she doesn't need the bow and arrows I have equipped to her for the final fight.
I also need to unequip Edge the ninja's weapons. His attack is weak, and he does far more damage throwing weapons than wielding them. Still, that's only good for two rounds. I probably need to buy shurikens. The wiki says I can buy the good shurikens in a particular place, but I haven't figured out how. Maybe now that I'm at the end they'll be available.
I bought fifty battle axes thinking I could throw them for great damage, using up all my funds, only to get to the boss and discover Edge can't throw battle axes. Luckily I had a backup save from before I did that.
I think the key to this battle might be fast reflexes, which I don't have. Why would you design a freaking turn-based RPG's final boss around fast reflexes when there's nothing of the sort anywhere else in the game? Bad design!
