What are some of your favorite final boss fights, /vr/? It doesn't have to be RPGs, of course. It could also be anything from platformers to shoot 'em ups.

(No point in spoilering everything in the thread since it's unavoidable. Just try to use spoilers for things like major plot twists.)


Pic related. The battle is piss easy if you collected the Blood Sword(s), but Emperor is a menacing foe otherwise. While Chaos would restore himself to full health after several rounds, Emperor's physical attacks inflict damage based on a percentage of their target's max HP, and drain every point of it. If you over-grinded and had thousands of hit points on your characters, you were only allowing Emperor to restore himself to full health with every attack.

S&K, Doomsday Zone.
I honestly think the Sonic series could've ended right there, and it would be perfect.

As I found out later, I was not the only person who did this

Yeah, but then you have to follow up with Knuckle's story and his final battle at the Sky Sanctuary Zone against Super Mecha Sonic.

Wow, you have a game that's saved right at the end, just like everyone else in the world.

He may be entirely pattern based, but the number of attacks he has, his music, and the novelty of being the only final boss in classic Mega Man that isn't Wily more than makes up for it.

And on the subject of Mega Man games that are the fifth in a series, for all its faults, X5 has an excellent Sigma fight.
