Well Final Fantasy IV (and many other RPGs) does that kinda thing to better effect a few times and it's not done by making the boss feel generic.

It's an interesting take on it but I don't really think that it's likely intentional.

Anyway it's a cool fight and much better than the final boss but I probably wouldn't like it as a final boss either as it was. But it wasn't the final boss so I'm not judging it as one. You probably could make it a cool final boss if you wanted to go that way though, though it probably wouldn't make a ton of plot sense.

Really though the way to salvage FFX's final boss is by putting Braska's Final Aeon where it is, moving Seymour out of his speedbump status and putting him as the last dude instead of Yevon/the aeons-- maybe just have Yevon get absorbed by Seymour in a cutscene before the fight or something if you need to wreck Yevon to symbolize the end of the cycle or whatever.

But can't have a FF game without final boss out of nowhere I guess.
