The final fight of SMT IV Apocalypse might just be the best in the series second only to a DLC fight on the same game. As usual you fight YHWH at the end of the game, but this time you control 2 different parties at the same time, the one with the MC of the game and his demons, while the second one are all 4 main characters of the original SMT IV. All this while a banger of a song called "To become God's enemy" plays in the background.

Tales of the Abyss has an AMAZING final battle against it's villain. Everything really comes together in those final moments and sometimes I'll watch it again on Youtube from time to time because it's just so good how they did it.

Earthbound also really delivers on the final boss department. Everyone talks about this one, but it's such a shocking way to end to a relatively silly game. It's also fairly difficult so when you manage to pull through it's so satisfying and all the music and everything really gets to me.

Yakuza 5 vs.

Spoiler

Misato Aizawa.

Also I feel the same about Yakuza 5's final boss

Spoiler

it's such an awesome final fight that kicks so much ass that it immediately makes up for the fact that him being the true villain is a surprisingly weak twist???

Also Yakuza 2/Kiwami 2's final boss fight is another one that's just badass. A lot of people are mixed on 2, but I think this Ryuji Goda is maybe my favorite villain still??? The guy was so straight forward and to the point and he's the only one I respect.

DMC 2 when you fight the Despair embodied at the end, the boss theme "Ragnarok" is great and the boss makes you use the mechanics of the game like dodging a lot of attacks instead of just shooting the enemy.

Spoiler: Pokemon Red & Blue

Gary mother fuckin' Oak at the end of Pokemon Red & Blue. Having your rival be the final boss is so sick, and I can't believe they haven't done it again since the first ever games. It helps that he's such a smug asshole, really makes taking his spot as champion 5 minutes after he earned it all the more sweeter.

You know what End Boss I like? They really had something with this boss. It tests you on everything you've learned. Not too hard, not too easy. At least if you've actually been paying attention to your build and level, and not do what I did and try to box his ass at lv. 30.

That would imply that the rest of the game wouldn't be as good?

Jokes aside maybe several Treasure game or Rez.

Spoiler: Yakuza 2, 3 & 5.

I like Ryuji a lot but eeeh, I feel like he isn't enough of a big deal in his own game. So much of the finale is taken up by all those koreans that it kinda stalls his epic showdown with Kiryu. I wish he had more screen time overall because he's great. Meanwhile Y3 has Mine who is SO evil and I love that. He's my top villain because you see him plotting and pulling off terrible things throughout the game instead of just hearing second hand accounts like in Y1 and 2 (in RGG's defense, less so in K1 because they added some cutscenes). As for Y5, I think that's the worst game of the lot but that final boss is really fun. Terrible story but at least it went out with a bang.

 

[Samatonic]

My man right here.

It does, yeah. Makes it difficult to choose, for me.

YHVH from Shin Megami Tensei II
Raven Beak from Metroid Bread
Shiori Fujisaki from Tokimeki Memorial

That's it, I think.

Every game because it means I'm about to be done with it.

 

[Jimbo_McDumbo]

Vergil 3 in Devil May Cry is peak, it kicked my ass up and down the curb but it was so awesome

I feel that. But that usually leaves me resenting the final boss, if I decide to keep going instead of take a 7+ month break.

I just resent the entire game instead lol
