What's the most kino final boss battle?

You kinda already posted it

>Japanese games only

Is this a stealth weeb thread?

Well in order to have a last boss it's more likely the game will be Japanese

Why are you so obsessed about Japanese games? No sane person gives a fuck.

Came here to post this. Everything about this fight is burned into my mind.

Last map of the HLM2. It's a boss rush map so it counts.

The shota ending is the more traditionally Yoko Taro ending, with both surviving major characters dying in each other's blood, clutching at life futilely and pointlessly. It's hilariously bleak, but that really is to be expected.

The way he was screaming only for it to die down into whimpering really got me.

Absolute cancer boss fight. just fucking dialogue all through out it. mechanically garbage, not challenging or interesting. it's so clear the "game" aspect was an afterthought. only thing worse was the lead up boss fight towards it. fucking hundreds of shitty minigames, cutscene interruptions, scripted events, screen clutter, heaps of mooks thrown in because the boss is boring as fuck on its own. man I don't think i've ever played such a shit game.

I don't like the boss itself but the theme is the greatest fucking thing in the entire franchise

I played Xenoblade 1 first and then worked my way through the others. IMO aside from some plot points the games are very inconsistent so they're just gonna try something new with each game. That being said XC2 is trash and saga has awful gameplay, and X is the best

I'll agree with you in battle theme. Divine Identity is godlike, probably the best in SMT. But the battle itself is subpar.

The boss itself isn't anything too special but the battle theme is the best final boss theme in the entire series

It´s also a word game. It´s a more intense version of the song that plays in the velvet room, which is named "Poem of everyone´s soul"

the localization ruined the twist and subsequently this boss.

That's "Aria of the Soul"

It's the best post-3 game by far, at least. So it's "pretty good" as opposed to "great" or better. Nowhere near shit, let alone mediocre or anything like that

4 is hardly a game it is more like a closing movie. I love the mgs games but I was a little disappointed at how little you actually do in that game.

Never finished EOV, is the final boss really that good?

Western devs don't design good boss fights in general. I remember reading a tweet? or something from a big time western dev years ago saying that boss fights are bad and shouldn't even be in games. That sentiment seems to be pretty prevalent as you have to look really hard to find a good boss fight, let alone a good final boss in a western game. Pic related.

9S makes the most sense narratively and he is pretty much the true protagonist the entire game. I like that they give you the option to pick A2 but you'd have to be pretty soulless to think her ending is better.

Can't wait for the reprisal in 1 month more like 1.5 years lmao.

youtube.com/watch?v=oWDw-4AwM98

>A2
>glory of mankind
Pick one. 9S was the one that questioned his existence and wanted to see the return of humans. A2 just accepts that they're already gone.

It says a lot about how bad Xenoblade 2 was when the best moment in the game is hearing Shulk's speech.

by retroactively making xc1's shitty ending better?

XC1's ending is perfect by itself. XC2 needed to piggy back onto XC1's story in order to not be a total bore.

It took you until the final boss to realize automata sucks? I couldn’t even get to the first ending, and apparently the combat gets even shittier when you have to play as 9s? That’s hilarious.

Was very difficult as Plo Koon because his combos had a long recovery during which you'd get pummeled.

It had it's moments like when he forces you into rage form but I had a feeling that Xemnas would be hard to top.

DS1's is pretty great because you expect choirs, trumpets and an overall cathartic experience and instead fight a pathetic joke of a boss over quiet piano notes.

The real kino was Genichiro going from a guy that dumpsters you in the tutorial, to a challenge you overcome in the midgame, to a throwaway phase for Isshin.

I'm not gonna pretend that I went in completely blind into ds1(i already knew to pay attention to environmental storytelling and read descriptions), or that I read every item and made wild theories before I beat the game, but after very roughly getting an idea about the game's story and finding out th real Anor Londo I expected a sad and "quiet" final battle. The music was a nice touch.

I'm a sucker for moments during the final battle where the hero/heroine is at their lowest point and at death's door before regaining their strength/powering up and laying the final boss to waste, I guess I can thank Super Metroid for introducing me to that trope

but seeing as how its the first to come to mind and reminded me about how terrible the game was, id bring it up

Overleveling for the Tico fight kinda killed the climatic hype for me but the multi-phase lead-up and the parts with Saidaq and both Hotsuins was pretty freaking sweet.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WORLD, THIS CHI-Q

I got into the game late and Heavensward was the first time XIV showed me its single player MMO gimmick could work so it still resonates with me a lot. Hades is a very close second to me and as much as I like Shinryu it's at the end of fucking Stormblood which at least isn't ARR.

Is this the thread where we circlejerk over Persona 3 for the nth time because we're blind to its flaws??

Egg Nyx is more of a victory lap rather than a final boss, though.

Not really a boss fight so much as "run or you're fucking dead" part but still.

Not really a boss since it functions as a regular stage, but having every NPC you helped along the way (besides DaVinci and the white cell waifu) join against the aliens was pretty satisfying.

Kasumi was upset with herself for having supported you during both the destruction of the cradle and the limited operations with ORCA, knowing she guided you into committing a genocide and what would later be an assured omnicide. I'm pretty sure she expected something a little less...insane, but was powerless to stop it.

KH2 easily had one of the top 10 boss battles of all time.
I lost my gaming virginity to Xemnas when I was 10, this was the ultimate boss battle. You got to fly, slice skyscrapers in half with your best friend, and the battle got so intense that you literally had to go beyond space/time to settle the score because the sheer awesomeness would've tore the fabric reality.

His 1 million laser death bolt shower sent chills down spine, I felt like I was complete ninja barely struggling to stay alive as i mashed that fucking badass triangle button till my i got fucking thumb arthritis.

Then there was the battle of 1000 heartless. Goofy dies, and the way mickey fucking mouse loses his shit and swears utter death upon the entire heartless race jolted me. I was just playing weird cheesy disney/ff spinoff I was about to avenge my nigga goofy's death and i was slaughter every heartless that stood in my way, without mercy. I've never been as pumped for a boss fight since then.

I honestly really hate this fight from a gameplay perspective. They succeeded at conveying the SCALE of the fight (you did feel like a giant), but mechanically it's one of the worst fights in the game because you can't use any of the stuff you just spent the entire game mastering and have to play by a new, shittier set of rules where it can start to feel like a back and forth that refuses to end.

This was amazing. First time playing through it and it blew me away

youtu.be/Zjo57X2WgSQ

Not really a boss fight but an excellent climax.

Witcher 3 had its moments.

Can I just say how fucking cool it is, that canonically speaking, the only real challenge to Samus, the only thing that actually scares or worries her to any significant degree, is evil clones of herself? She is so badass that only shades of herself pose any threat to her.

I love in Fusion when she says if the SA-X got loose it would be a danger to the entire universe. She knows how OP she is, it's fantastic

The final boss of Let it Die was pretty fantastic. The subversion ending was alright, but honestly not great considering only ~1-4% of players would even get that far

why are cloud and sephiroth attacking cruella deville from 101 dalmatians?

FFXIV is so based I'm half expecting fucking Culex from Mario RPG to show up

>The end of the fight when you slap the shit out of him
Cathartic as fuck considering the suffering he put me through until I finally fucking beat him

omg that cat

also impressive that they go to the effort of chaining up the duchess who tried to conspire, to be pecked to death by crows, like the threat she had previously made, and you can go find her body

not only this but Ansem in KH1 as well. it's just complete chaos by the end, you are just desperately smacking him as he summons black holes and constantly shoots you with lasers. all his dialogue is iconic from the first beach skirmish to the very end

it's fucking stupid that they push mickey and kairi out right after walking in. it's like, why even write that scene to let them walk in if you didn't want them in the battle

i think nomura genuinely hates kairi fans.

Will Pluto be omitted from FF7R's Supernova cutscene since it's no longer a traditional planet?

We'll never know, episode 2 is gonna bomb hard and kill the rest.

Terra has to be one of the strangest characters of any game I've ever played.

His physical design is derived from KH2 Xehanort retroactively needing to be him with white hair and amnesia later on so that guy can be split into two more people and cause the whole series to happen.

His armored design is to retroactively explain KH2's Lingering Will boss (which includes having him sprout a cape for no reason so as not to be inconsistent due to PSP not being able to handle the capes).

But his personality, which is supposed to justify a being of PURE UNSTOPPABLE RAGE ending up trapped in his armor for a decade+, is incredibly passive, quiet, and overly polite. Lexaeus was a 'gentle giant' trope but still got super pissed because he was using the power of earth. Terra is even named "Earth" and is treated like he's supposed to be angry and reckless.. but he's not. instead he's just dumb??

Pluto was declared an honorary planet later on, rendering the millions of freshly printed textbooks omitting it completely pointless.

The only entertaining thing to come out of that whole debacle was one half-decent Rick and Morty episode, and that's being generous

They nail the music every time.

The battle is, by definition, over.

Wii punch out was made in the west as did Furi but those arguably don’t count since the former was a Nintendo game with a western development team and the latter was heavily inspired by eastern games. Malak and most of the sith from KOTOR2 have kino fluff but the fights are pure numbers battles. The Master and Frank Horrigan are both kino. New Vegas’ 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam is pretty kino for the ways it reflects your choices and allows choices within it. As do most of the boss fights in the original Deus Ex. Undertale has some pretty clever use of game mechanics integrated into the plot of the fight (like Sans not giving you any invincibility frames because invincibility frames are the monster feeling a pang of remorse after hurting you or Omega Flowey in general). Also Spec Ops The Line if you count the ending as a fight

That was a great boss fight desu especially since it was using a (if basic) combat system that was only introduced when you got the sword

Xenoblade chronicles is one of my favorite rpgs of all time.
But Zanza's final design is just so goofy. He makes me think of the rhino from that ps2 spiderman game.

omega flowey was better
