Anyway, what is it about Fire Emblem's final boss that makes it so great? Sure, it's probably the best in the series (barring HM Ashnard), but FE is a series known for having pretty lackluster final bosses. If the Fire Dragon moved, then we'd have a real contender!
I'm also curious as to what makes it so great but I think FE final bosses aren't *that* bad generally, at least if you go with the entire final chapter as the "final boss battle" instead of just the boss themselves. Even with bosses alone, Julius is pretty damn spiffy and FE3 Medeus is...okay he's pathetic but his music is awesome.
Anyway. Earthbound is a good pick. Iji has a very awesome final battle. I'll get shot for saying this but I love the final boss of I Wanna Be The Guy. Star Ocean 2 is another good one. Prototype would be great if it didn't have so much extra **** going on to distract you and interfere, as it is it's still pretty fun. I'd throw Mega Man 7 in too simply because of how torturous it is if you try to win without special weapons/energy tanks, makes it a very fun challenge.
