    It's actually LESS common for them to have the descriptor. The only ones that seem to be promised this treatment are the x.00 final bosses, Ultima, Thordan, Shinryu, and Hades. It's possible they intended it to be the x.30 bosses as well, but I'm not certain when Nidhogg or Tsukuyomi were added, and ARR's were all true Primals outside of Ultima so this trend might've been intended to start with Nidhogg, but again I don't remember what patch he was added.

    ARR 1 vs 7
    The Minstrel's Ballad: Ultima's Bane - 2.0

    HW 2 vs 5
    Thordan's Reign - 3.0
    Nidhogg's Rage - 3.3

    SB 2 vs 6
    Shinryu's Domain - 4.0
    Tsukuyomi's Pain - 4.3

    ShB 1 vs 5 (so far)
    Hades's Elegy - 5.0

    Huh... there really isn't a pattern then.
    Looks like they kinda just do it whenever they feel like it.

    Same for Hades, but it's still a Minstrel's Ballad...

    Adding that to my original post, thanks. And a quick search says Nidhogg was 3.3, so that too.

    prelim searches says that it's a break in the trend of 3.3 & 4.3, so... break in pattern?
