I've listen to the part you highlighted, and before I go any further I would like to ask you how you define a dialogue boss battle, and in light of that why you feel the Raphael scene qualifies for that?

Because, if I were to go by my own gut impression by the words "dialogue boss battle" themselves I would definitely agree that they fit the Nettie scene (which by the way I agree has improved with the new patch, even though I've also only played it again as Druid), but in my mind, while I'm not so sure about the Raphael one. A "boss battle", to me, is something that is a punctuation of a sentence or a tie on a thread. Nettie definitely fits that because even if it's only a short thread there's already been some lead up to it, she's been established as a character and a destination. But with the Raphael scene, that very much feels to me like that is the introduction, the lead up to something else down the road.
