      The final boss to be fought once or multiple times? What I mean is would you rather just fight that character once at the end of the game or multiple times during the game. To me it feels more special to fight the character at the end, because you finally get you’re hands on the scum whose been making your life hard for the game, and feels more rewarding when you defeat them. If you fight that character multiple times during the game then you find out you have to fight them as the final boss, it makes you feel like what’s the point, I’ve already beaten this character ten times already, don’t they get the hint?

        It depends on the story.

        If the story was written in a way that perhaps you faced a certain character earlier in the game, and you didn’t know they would end up being your final big bad, but circumstances and story events changed them into something else, then I don’t have a problem with it.

        Or you ran into them and the game decided not to tell you yet that they were the ultimate evil of the game. Perfect example is Kefka. Until the end of the first half of FF6, you would never think that crazy fucking clown was going to steal the show and burn the entire world down, making him your final boss.

        So like I said, if a story sets it up right and does it well, then no, I have no problem with it.

          Yeah it really depends. If the final boss is a jobber you beat the shit out of like 5 times then that takes away the fun of the final boss battle. But on the contrary, if the boss is just someone who sits on his ass in his mansion for the whole game and then you go in snd kill him at the end, it feels like the boss was out of the story.

          In my opinion the final boss should appear on the battlefield during the game and confront the main character, maybe exchange some hits and have the clear upper hand. This way it feels more rewarding to grow and finally meet the boss in the end and beat him. One example is in Yakuza 0, the three lieutenants are the main villains. One of them, Kuze, is a jobber you beat up like 5 times. But the most terrifying one of the three is Shibusawa, who confronts the main character many times and has this calm and composed yet terrifying aura while speaking some Yakuza wisdom to the main character. Then at the end you finally confront him. That’s how you build up a villain and keep him close to the story and the main character without fighting and beating him 10 times.
