The Queen spawns smaller slimes[I believe] at 100%(2 spawns), 50%(2 spawns), and 25%(4 spawns). The small slimes can completely overwhelm you if you don't get rid of them before the next HP threshold. Fortunately, the Queen's HP is low enough to kill it with good synergy tactics; if it stays staggered, it can't use the move that makes the spawns appear. With Sophie AI very nicely working in tandem with Asbel, and Cheria using long-range magic to supplement damage by hitting one of its weaknesses(Paralyze), made killing the boss very clean.
================
This is a casual party boss run as I play through the game. Hopefully this can be a visual guide for people stuck on certain bosses.
2x Damage
2x Critical Rate
CC +1/2
6x(Double x Triple)SP
2x Gald
2x Item Drop Rate
All GS options except Max HP+1000 were taken. However, 2x and 5x EXP were turned off before any battles(will consider them "turned on" even if I do it once and turn it off for the rest of the playthrough).
-No cheats are being used.
-No NG+; this is a fresh New Game.
-Hard Mode(will increase difficulty as it becomes available)

Final Boss battle.
Non-Skillseal version(Leia only): http://youtu.be/wJ0Fw52coSk
Bisley....in some ways, he was harder than Chronos. He moves very fast, and his normals are practically instant. However, he has a lot of artes that leave him vulnerable and his Style Shift is very easily punishable. His Demon Burst(i.e. quick punch + Fireball) and Curtain Call are his most dangerous attacks, esp Demon Burst. His DB punch can be interrupted, but the fireball will always come out, even if he is staggered. Curtain Call is dangerous because you need a timed sidestep to dodge it 100%(you can mash, but you might get hit), and it can be used instantly from his knockdown position. Yes, that means in one frame his body is completely on the ground, and the very next frame he is completely upright in motion to circle around you for the hit. He also has a skill that allows him to occasionally resist being lifted into the air. I believe its the skill called Damage Control(avoid knockdown 30% of the time), but Im not entirely sure on that. Its not too threatening, but an unexpected no-lift can lead to a counter that I am not prepared for. However, afflicting skillseal prevents him from resisting uplift. Since Bisley is more susceptible to status inflictions(or at least more susceptible at my level[160]), 2 hits from Eagles Rage guarantees being affected.
Outside of that, nothing fancy, just aggressive play, not too much different than Id do a normal foe. Since I felt it a bit lackluster for a final boss and the 2nd Bisley is just more of the same, I decided to tack on that bit in the latter half. Not nearly as polished as some of the best out there, even considering no PC, but it was VERY hard for me to do this regardless =0(. I gained a LOT more respect to those who can dual combo.
So with this, the run is finished. Looking back, Ive enjoyed some battles while others just felt like a chore =0. You can see the lack of motivation as I progressed through the run, in that my creativity waned, however, I tried to hide that lack of motivation by approaching the battle in different ways. Im still glad I didnt use PC2/3 so I could expand my style, but most still ended up as glorified combo videos that relied on a Power Combo anyway, so I still wonder whether it made much of a difference, or am I just telling myself that =02? Anyway, I hope youve enjoyed the show and I appreciate everyone who watched and left a comment =03.Til next time......")
