I still think The Extreme is the best track out of all the final ultimecia battle themes, although most people seem to prefer Maybe I'm a Lion, for some reason.
 
Yes, the Ganondorf battle was great. I just wish it was more of a battle than an interactive cutscene.

The Elements in Xenogears. Gotta love the combining gears.

Is that the last battle in Xenogears? I found that to be a big pain in the ass actually. Loved Xenogears but I was not a fan of the gameplay, I liked the game because of its epic story and music.

Overall I think Zelda64 and MGS3 had my favorite boss fights. Zelda Wind Waker has some amazing boss fights too. I usually love any big Nintendo boss fights, the gameplay just seems to be designed so perfectly.

Ninja Gaiden 2 gets a honorable mention from me as well.

I didn't even really like Maybe I'm a Lion. The Legendary Beast shits all over it.

Is this the last boss of FF8? I don't remember what was so great about her. Though I do remember using Aura all the way to beat her.
 
Sonic & Knuckles:
(Sonic's story) Death Egg Zone 2 Boss until the end of Doomsday Zone (when you have all 7 Chaos emeralds)

Shenmue II:
Baihu in the cage match, he isn't the final boss, but his best of 3 rounds battle and finale QTE sequence to finish him puts him here.


Street Fighter II (1991)
Four bosses: Balrog, Vega, Sagat and M.Bison in their unselectable form when they were suped up and tougher then their future selectable versions.

MGS3:
Boss. Ah! a Boss who disarms you, joy! When you were able to get the CQC down it created an awesome exchange of counters and you felt the tension when she tried to reverse you then you counter her reversal and ..


MDK2:
Emperor Zizzy Balooba. this jerk was tough and a total ass,, ranks here as one of the tough frustrating bosses,, with a silly sense of humor "curtains! fade to black!"
 
Luca Blight in Suikoden 2. What other boss survives a whole bunch of (out of battle) archers, 3 battles, and only dies at the end of all that. A fitting end to one of the great RPG villains of all time.
