FFX had a fine final boss. I don't really agree with some of the design decisions (making it self healing made it ridiculously hard if you were underlevelled, and ridiculously easy if you were overlevelled; same with prominently featuring turn delay mechanics--delaying half a turn hurts a lot more if you were slow). But like, the fight, the dialog, the unique talking mechanics, it all stands out in my mind; the fight is fine.

No, the game that I really really like that jumps to mind as having a weak final boss is Valkyrie Profile. I mean, there's three final bosses, Jotun the frost giant is really underwhelming and disappointing I think on purpose to encourage you to get the good ending. Loki is kinda ok, but it feels like more of a plot fight like "Oh yeah, I'm a god, let me make a +6000 sword of smiting. Hey look mom, I won!" And for the third ending...Freya, if you anger Asgard so bad they decide you're a failure and need to be euthanized arguably doesn't count, buuuuut she is kinda amazing actually, easily my favourite of the three; that said you get the same ending whether you kill her or die to her which is kind-of disappointing.
