Okay Fellow FF Geeks, I pose the Question, what made each Final Fantasy End-Game Boss Memorable. The only two I knoware Sephiroth, who wanted to use Meteor to destroy the world and become a God... And Seymour from FFX (Jecht doesn't really count, Sure Jecht and Tidus had Family issues but who doesn't... And since Yu Yevon was kind of controlling him as Sin, I wouldn't put Sin's destruction entirely on Jecht). As for Seymour, he wanted to become Sin and Destroy/Save Spira in his crazy, epic Battle Theme sort of way.

What about the other 10 Final Fantasies?

!!!!SPOILERS!!!! Well, I think you'll get different answers from a lot of people, being how some games/bosses get a different reaction from people. But for me..... Sephiroth (VII) - Obviously wanting to save the planet. Also, he killed one of the (in my opinion) purest characters in video game history. I was gladly willing to let Sephiroth die, even if it tooka good solid multi-tiered boss fight to do it. One of the best bosses in all of Final Fantasy. Ultimecia (VIII) - I didn't really care that much about this boss. I loved the game yes, but to me I was looking forward to a Squall/Seifer showdown more than I was to fighting Ultimecia. She doesn't really come up that much when I think in terms of Final Fantasy. Kuja (IX) - Same story as Ultimecia, just not that memorable to me. He DID have the whole 'cruel heart, kill everything' thing going for him, but he just didn't seem that intimidating. Although, staying with the true FF form multi-tiered boss fights, his Trance Phase (FF IX form of the Limit Break) did look pretty amazing. Seymour (X) - This guy...was annoying to me. Maybe it was the voice acting that I didn't feel that it fit right, or his unnatrual obsession with Yuna, but I was eager to get him out of the way and hoped that he wasn't the last boss of the game. I was right, but as the original poster indicated, it's tough to really count the last boss fight AS the last boss fight. However, this was one of my favorites because of the entire game and the amount of time and energy I poured into it. Vayne (XII) - This guy owned. He had everything you wanted in a bad guy. He murders a member of his own family in an attempt to control the Empire, he is willing to sacrfice his own brother to maintain his control, and he knows how to control those around him. Smart, Strong, and Decisive. The boss fight that occurs here is just amazing, even though I had troubles with the Gambit system and manually did most of my commands. One of the best. Those are the ones that I've played. Ranking them as most memorable.....is tough, but I'll go with: Sephiroth Vayne Seymour/Sin Kuja Ultimecia Very nice thread by the way.

Was it? It very well may have been, I'm honestly drawing a blank. It's been a couple years since I played that game and I thought it was Adel at the end, but maybe not. I remember the fight and all the phases with it, just not the boss itself. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll edit it soon. Edit 1: Changed the names around. Thanks again.

Jecht, because he kept kicking my arse over and over and over again.... In fact, I'm pretty sure I haven't beten him yet.

Other than that, I liked Chaos and Zeromus because they were true final bosses: behind it all, wanted to do something pure evil, they were giant monster thingies, and they had an irresistible urge to anhilate you.

Needless to say, I anhilated them multiple times.

How are you gonna forget the "Tower of Power," a.k.a. FF6's final boss?
