Another Top 10 Anticlimactic Boss Battles

Boss battles should be the ultimate test of all the skills you've been developing in the levels up until now. But once and awhile it comes time for a showdown and the boss ends up being lacklustre, a pushover or just plain boring. Whether it's over in a few seconds, or you beat them through a quicktime event button sequence, these boss fights were memorable for all the wrong reasons. SPOILERS AHEAD.

You've clearly misunderstood the point of FF7 if you think the final battle is lackluster

It... Was... The... Entire... Point..

pasta_spice3267d ago (Edited 3267d ago )

Yeah exactly the whole point of the battle is to signify that Sephiroth no longer had control over Cloud's mind. Cloud had come to terms with his past (and who he really was) and finally had the mental strength to not only fight Sephiroth's influence over his mind, but to DESTROY it. It wouldn't have had the same meaning if the battle had been harder.

I don't really consider the one on one fight with Sephiroth to be a boss bottle, i really wonder if anyone does

Snookies123267d ago (Edited 3267d ago )

I agree, I didn't realize anyone actually thought that way about this 'fight'. I was around 9 when I played Final Fantasy VII, and even back then I never thought of that as a boss battle. It was the victory of having Cloud completely destroy what remained of Sephiroth after the final battle.

TheFirstClassic3267d ago

It was an awesome way to end the game imo, I only played the game a couple years ago.

rainslacker3267d ago

No doubt. The actual final boss battle of the game was actually pretty epic as I recall, as are most FF end game bosses.

The Sephiroth "fight" was more an interactive cutscene and not meant to be anything where you could actually fail.

goldwyncq3267d ago

The final boss of Demon's Souls comes to mind. Maybe the devs made it so as to apologize to the players for putting them through so much suffering to get to that point.

Fable 2. The last boss rants for a few minutes if you don't shoot him, Reaver does. One shot. Dead.

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5230d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212130d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5230d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5230d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani30d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum31d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman31d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim30d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I disagree Batman
