Great Moments At The Final Stretch

Stuff I enjoyed, found worthwhile, or memorable during the final battle, phase, music, map, boss or whatever. Be careful though, there are slight spoilers but obviously nothing too crazy.

And if you got any great moments to share, please be sure to. It's always amusing hearing someone's experiences. With how similar or how different they are.

This final boss caught me off guard. I did not notice that I was fighting the final boss. The story didn't feel finished yet so I was like there were still more hours to go. I now get why it was so tough, especially since I missed one Djinn. It was a cool fight, that I've been waiting to have since the start of the game. And it paid off really damn well. I remember seeing the end credits and going "Nah, the game is trying to trick me. No way is it over yet". Then I saw the 'THE END' screen

The other one.
It has a lot of great moments surrounding it, the music is amazing, and I liked the pattern of attacks it had. It definitely is very memorable to me. Can't wait for others to experience it.

This final boss was super cool, music was awesome. I do like how it plays completely different to anything you've experienced in the game.

I just liked that when I killed the final boss with Marth, he leveled up to 20. No clue if that was his max level but that was super cool in my head. Something stupid like, "I have gained full experience for all my endeavors".

I cried at the end credits. It was a good scene but I wasn't too big a fan of the game so it caught me by surprise.

I literally can't wait for people to experience the cutscene before the final boss, the final boss itself, and it's music. Good this was a insane trip, one of my favorite final phases of a game.

The final boss is whatever but the map theme was great, the dialogue every character had before the fight was hype, combining the both armies was satifiying and the final shot (if you attacked with Alm) was pretty sick
Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!
Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!
Similar to Planet Robobot, where it plays completely different to the rest of the game. But I liked it and did it first try, which I was glad about.
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance

Not so far into my Castlevania journey but so far this was the most enjoyable fight I've had with Dracula. I really liked the remix to his battle theme too.

I thought I had to choose Robin or Chrom to beat the final boss for the ending I wanted. Turns out no it didn't really matter. So I played the final boss twice in one playthrough. The map looked cool and the ost was good at least.

A dope looking final boss. I loved the final boss as a character, especially since it was a tragic fight. The music was great, Yoko Shimomura is always a banger. I'm just glad I didn't use Aht in this fight.

This final boss was pretty janky but being forced to fight it 4 times since I did all the characters made me not dislike it as much. Plus the moment before the fight ost was amazing, especially in Tita's Story. It fit unbelievable well.

Yo I loved this boss. I know everybody and their mother hates it but many it was so much fun. It took me almost a hour until I defeat them since I had input lag. But I had fun the entire time. I really like the final boss' design. And their name, it's pretty funny. I can't wait to face them again on the hardest mode without input lag. I've also heard that Touhou has somewhat similar fights like that so I may check it out....

Bug Fables: the Everlasting Sapling for that last chapter. Extremely well executed tone shift, banger final boss and a fantastic conclusion to a great game.
Also, its hard not to love Okami's final moments, when the best song in one of gaming's best soundtracks starts to play. Mwah, perfection
