The boss at the end of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

Although my inititial reaction was getting triggered (as I'm quite the LoK fanboy), you're actually quite right. It is a pretty lousy fight, especially compared to all the other elaborate puzzle-like boss fights in the game.

That healing font basically makes the fight a joke, but if it wasn't there, it would probably be near-impossible.
I guess that's the price of cutting a game short due to time constraints and instead creating a few sequels.

yeah but I mean I haven't played many games where the final boss felt as out of place as FF9 lol, there are probably worse cases out there, but in my experience it was the most WTF moment at a final boss I can think of

it was "Necron" sort of weird entity

I looked it up and it says
Necron is the final boss of Final Fantasy IX, appearing in the area Hill of Despair and representing death itself. Necron's ultimate goal is to reduce everything to nothingness. Its appearance is somewhat of a mystery, as it arrives unexpectedly at the end of the game and its character is never fully explained.

so yeah the entire game the real villain is pretty much Kuja but then when you beat him there's this random Necron boss that pops up out of nowhere and is the final boss

Giant Blue weirdo thing that literally turns up after you beat the main villain of the game and goes "Hello Imma go destroy everything for no reason lol!" with no set up

It's really weird

It's pretty much just a vehicle to have Kuja rescue you

I think the developers said that the death and destruction caused by Kuja woke it up and made it come. But this is ever stated in game. It's just there

Gears of War 2 had a giant blob that you shot at with the Hammer of Dawn for a minute and then the game ended. Pretty sure if you held onto the right trigger you win.

Not the worst one but an honorable mention is breath of the wild. They worked on the final boss being grand rather than fun or even remotely hard. Its literally just Shoot the targets. Except replace targets with glowing points on a giant beast who moves slow as hell and has only one attack thats easy to dodge.

Agreed. BotW was my runner-up for game of the decade after New Vegas and was this close to finally beating out Link to the Past for the franchise crown imo, but it tripped hard at the finish line with a lackluster final boss and ending.

That's because Red is the final boss.

Final Fantasy 7. You dont need to do anything to win

The solo fight isn't the final boss - It's only a final boss if it's an actual battle. That's just a scripted event where you can attack once or twice if you want.

And I give BotW a little slack on their final boss because Nintendo had to make it beatable by young kids who might suck at games.

Grandia 2's final boss was kind of a pushover since there's only 1 part of him compared to the bosses before him which consists of multiple body parts you can target individually.

This.

The final boss feels more like a basic enemy from what I remember. And the main antagonist of the game doesn't even fight you. You can kill him in 1 hit while he monologues, or if you let him monologue one of your NPC friends will kill him for you.

A very disappointing final encounter from a game I actually enjoyed despite it being overhyped by Molyneux.
