This is why you shouldn't just let anybody vote.
No, this is why voting is stupid.
wrong picture for Red
SO wrong
So VERY wrong.
I always found it fascinating how Wheskar is gay for Tyrant.
My god this is an atrocious list.
I agree.
I don't know most of the bosses on that list, but of those I know, I believe only Red deserves to be there.
There are plenty of Zelda bosses more fascinating than Ganon, and Psycho Mantis was leagues ahead of Big Boss.
Bowser is plain boring, and Green and Cynthia are just Champions whom you never get to challenge until your team's been weakened by the rest of the Elite 4. Nothing fascinating, really.
Of course, you didn't read that it said FINAL boss instead of mid level boss. Yes, Psycho Mantis IS fascinating and I know many a person who would love to have a spinoff about him alone, but he wasn't the final boss.
A topic that's heavily subject to opinions + small survey size = pointless list.
>10,000 votes
>small survey size
lol
That is small
It's fucking massive. The chances of 10,000 randomly selected people differing significantly from the general population is so close to zero that it doesn't matter.
This particular survey isn't random, but that's a separate issue altogether from sample size.
Have you even taken a single statistics class in your life? I'm pretty sure that 99% of people who complain about sample size on the internet have no fucking idea what an appropriate sample size is.
Yeah a 10,000 cock is like pffff tiny.
bigger than your dick
THIS. 10,000 is massive for a poll. The problem is that these are most likely self-selected participants...
10,000 people isn't a accurate representation of "hardcore" gamers in Japan because there's much more people in Japan with their own idea of what the most fascinating final bosses should be.
10,000 people gives you a 1% margin of error, and the results were pretty clear cut (except between Kefka and The Boss, who only had 1 vote between them).
Argue about whether the sample was random, not whether it was big enough. If the sample isn't random, it doesn't matter how big it is.
FUCKING KEFKA!
JUST DIE ALREADY!
How the Fuck is Kefka not at the top of this god damned list.
Because he's only fascinating when you're 8.
better than being 5 to get fascinated with sephiroth
Actually you're thinking of Sephiroth's appeal to adolescents. Because once you look past his chiseled features, long sword & incredibly emo fashion......he's an incredibly weak minded & just plane boring villain. Kefka has actually DONE evil things to earn his spot as MOST LETHAL FF villain....I mean how many FF villains have beaten & scattered heroes, changed the FACE OF A PLANET & CONQUERED IT, & in general actually ACCOMPLISHED what they set out to do? I'll give you a hint...it's a VERY short list of FF Villains & Kefka is at the top. NOTHING that seph did can hold a candle to Kefka's abominations.
@anon
As you can see, people who think Kefka is great are 8-year-olds. lol.
Kefka is a generic evil clown. Who gives a fuck what he did? Only 8-year-olds; lol, it's like saying "my dad could beat your dad in a fight", when your dad is a homeless alcoholic. He's a very one-dimensional character with a simple personality, a simple plan and simple motives, and that makes him a boring villain.
And btw, quite a few FF villains have done what you said, and all of them had more personality than Kefka. Even Cloud of Darkness lol.
Sephiroth wanted to use the planet as his ship to sail around the galaxy, consuming the lifestream to power his journey..thats fucking badaass
> Fascinating final boss
> Mostly aren't that unique
Plz, you wanna see fascinating? Try Sans and Flowey from Undertale.
dafuq is undatalez?
I would hardly call them fascinating.
The fact that I have not masturbated to a single one of them is telling.
you dont masturbate to kefka? blasphemy!
though i'll give you a pat on the back for not masturbating to sephy-chan
thats not red you fucking pleb
ash is a shit that loses everything
red loses only to gold, eventually
Seriously?
Green instead of Red?
im growing too old for this shit
red is there. just right there.
wrong picture though
Red is 6th, Green is 12th.
I haven't played Mario in like 20 years.
When did Bowser become a female?
Since we're on the internets.
No Steven Armstrong? Do you even NANOMACHINES, SON?
same here , armstrong was damn rad and the boss theme..fucking awesome.
The Human Proto Reaper from Mass Effect 2 also :)
Wait, how is Gilgamesh considering a "final boss", it's a visual novel.
We mean Gilgamesh Final Fantasy 6. Not Fate Stay Night Visual Novel.
That's just incorrect across the board, anon. But the question is a good one, he does seem a bit out of place on the list by genre comparison, but then again they did not specify a genre apparently, so I guess it does count.
It's just a meaningless vote poll. You lot take these things way to seriously.
It's a popularity contest, much like most of these crappy lists.
The final boss for the Metal Gear series is The Boss, not Big Boss.
No? The Boss is only the final boss for mgs3.
Yeah, what about liquid and solidus.
#2.. REALLY? the guy is a obsessive compulsive momma's boy, hes pathetic, kinda like the ff7 fanbase to be honest.
Switch Sephiroth with Kefka and you got yourself a much better list.
Kefka for president!!!
He's already running, he just has a different tupee and calls himself Trump.
So... comparing Sephiroth to a mamma's boy is like saying Zeus hurling Hephaestus off mount Olympus was like a spanking.
Kefka vs Sephiroth is a difficult one though, because Kefka was batshit crazy, and endearingly so because it's a very easy mental jump to have a batshit crazy jester progress to batshit crazy powermonger in the right circumstances, which they did.
Sephiroth was a more menacing villain in the sense of how he got into the heads of the protagonists and had enough mystery to his growth as a presence to be the reason he stuck in everyone's minds, so I put them relatively equal on a different playing field.
kefka dont waste time playing with people's emotion. he straight up obliterate them while dancing mad
Get over it.
They'll never get over it.
It's been almost 20 years and they're still butthurt about FF switching to Sony and becoming popular with the mainstream.
Yes, really. Evil yaoi bishounens all the way.
