They are in a way the most important part of the whole gaming experience. Your equal, your opposite, your enemy. The Final Bosses are your last tribulation in your quest or objective, whatever they may be.
A good Final Boss is memorable in some way, and nowadays, that is a rarity. Here are some of the Best Final Bosses of all time, and if you can come up with any, post them here as well.
Remember, post them by the name of the Final Boss first, what game they were in, then a brief summary of how they are one of the best of all time.
WARNING!:shock: There may be some sopilers here as well.:shock:
The Boss: Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
This has all the makings of not only a great Final Battle, but also a movie drama. The relationship and conflict between Snake and The Boss, the setting, the music, everything. The end of the fight is a real tear-jerker as well. The Boss's last line always gets me.
"There can only be one Boss... and one Snake."
The Egg: Saga Frontier 2
Despite having such a stupid name, the Final Battle against the Egg feels epic. Crossing almost an entire century of history- filled with war, personal conflict, and cursed lineage-, Saga Frontier 2 may be an old Playstaion game, but it is a rare gem worth playing.
Vandesdelca Musto Fende *or Van*: Tales of the Abyss
Namco Bandai did a great job with this installment or the Tales series. By the time you reach the end, Luke Fon Fabre feels like an entirely different person than who he started out to be. His fight against Asch and Van was to him mostly a fight to discover who he really was.
Van *Final Form*: "Goodbye... LUUUUUUKE!!!!"
