Final Fantasy VIII (this game deserves so much more attention than 7 did, its superior in every single way).
FFVII received so much critical acclaim because it introduced the series to 3D.
Other than that, VII did almost nothing. The game could have remained sprites and it would have been the same experience.

Nothing really stands out above the rest for me. Maybe I need to beat even more games?

Some that I have in my mind right now are:

Ganondorf: Twilight Princess (it was pretty cool fighting zelda, ganon, on horseback, and then clashing swords)
Black Baron: Madworld (it was pretty funny to fight the black baron after all and the music was great)

I cant think of any others right now...

FFVII received so much critical acclaim because it introduced the series to 3D. FFVIII merely built on the graphical groundwork that VII had laid out, and wasn't nearly as innovative.

Not to mention, VIII probably has the most tripe and illogical plot of the series, incredibly annoying characters, the junction system is a completely unnecessary additional grind, and that absolutely awful Triple Triad.

From an audio-visual standpoint though, the game was quite pretty.

Triple Triad was AMAZING.

And I don't think VII had the critical acclaim because of that, I think its because everybody was emo back then or something, and they loved Cloud. And all the retarded fan girls loving sephiroth x cloud crap.

VIII > VII.

Great. Can we not turn this into a flamewar?

Anyway

Triple Triad itself wasn't bad, but the method of obtaining cards, and those area rules that spread like herpes, were horribly designed.

I don't really expect you young kids to understand the reasons FFVII made such an impact on the industry. You really had to be a gamer during that decade.

Why is it that wherever you go, you always have to start shit?
Go outside or something.


OT:
I thought Red at the end of Pokemon Gold was pretty awesome. As long as you didn't grind too much, he was a real challenge and he was fun to fight for EXP later on.

Who is this directed towards specifically?

As for final bosses that you actually fight, Lavos would be one. Blue/Green would be another.

All the Megaman BN end bosses but outta those I'd have to say Falzar from BN 6 because not only was the battle epic but it gave off that feeling like "this is it!" since it was the last game in my all time favorite game series....*tear*

EDIT- The above favorite will probably be tied with Lavos when I ever beat him because Chrono Trigger is my favorite game and I've been trying to beat it for some years (every time I play it I get so far and then something happens to my save and im force to start over....this has happened a total of five times)

You erased my rpost after reading other semi-off topic posts, and also removed my on topic reply?

Thanks, mod.

Edit: That's all fine and good, but did you have to remove my on topic reply as well? An edit would have sufficed.

Giygas, in Mother 2/Earthbound. Everything else is nothing compared to the sheer creepiness, tension, fear and uneasiness that battle made me feel. Your four party members just standing there, kids (although in a robotic body) facing the incarnation of pure evil. Awesome. And that tiny little twist at the end... Boy, you really have to play it to understand.

Xiga from Radiant Silvergun has to be one of my favorite final boss fights. Though his fight was the penultimate part of the game, he was pretty much the final boss so yeah. He was damn fun to fight.

Emerald Weapon from FF VII - unbelieveably hard, Hint: All, Knights of Round and Phoenix materia will win this one for you.

The Magician in HOTD2 - best music of any boss fight ever - best "I'm about to get medievil on your ass" speech too.

R-Type III on the SNES - Yayyyy!!! I beat it......hold on, what the **** is happening now? Oh Nooooooooo!!!

Also, my favourite final boss battle? I don't really have one in all honesty - I've played more games with good final bosses than I care to remember.

Phoenix is not necessary, and I did not have it when I beat him.

That spell that does 9999 damage is actually 1000 X the number of materia you have equiped. So... you go into with only a few materia and you will survive it. Use knights of the round paired with HP absorb and then put a mastered summon materia paired with MP absorb, have cloud cast knights of the round, then everyone else does mime. Every hit restores your MP and HP to max. Repeat until dead. After that, nothing in the game is hard.

Sephiroth had the best battle music, but was not a difficult fight.

THE FUCKING WORLD from the first Sin and Punishment.

Oh, wow, you faced a big guy with a sword? Well I had to fight THE FUCKING PLANET.

Plus it was a pretty interesting boss fight. Had to defend the real Earth while beating the shit out of the other one. They did a pretty good job replicating it in S&P2 as well.
