The ending was ok, but I hated the last section. It was just so boring fighting wave after wave of enemies. And those very last moments...
the guy didn't even put up a fight. I was very disappointed.

I second this, Chrono Cross had one of the lamest end bosses I can remember! After the epic showdown with Lavos in Chrono Trigger the patheticly easy fight in CC only reinforces how inferior that game was compared to the SNES classic.

I fail to see how Sands of Time was anti-climatic.
I would give points to Grandia 2.

speaking of sands of time, what an awesome, awesome game. yeah late to the party and all that. im reeeeally enjoying it so far. the context sensitive contols are a bit confusing to get used to, but once you are used to it the amount of acrobatics that can be done is amazing. only the camera is a bit wonky at times, hard to figure out where to make the next jump at times. but gameplay is fantastic...they should make lots more of these kind of games. it also captured that arabian nights ambiance very well, nice voice acting, graphics and artstyle.

An old wizard with shitty powers does not make for a good final boss fight. It was over all too quickly.

Oh, yeah, good choice. Especially because when I was playing it, a bug in the game made me permanently invisible. Yeah, not much excitement there...
Most of the games coming through my mind at first have already been mentioned...
Starfox Adventures :
Beyond Good and Evil :
Starfox Adventures :
Considering the development path of the game (originally concieved as an original universe based on a dinosaur planet), the uprising of Andross at the very end came as a shitty reversal to include Starfox's entities... Pretty disappointing, even if the fight itself stays faithful to the entire game : boringly beautiful...
Beyond Good and Evil :
I am still unable to say which of the hasty events preceding a bungled end or the underwhelming final boss (a "giant" alien reversing your controls and creating clones of your teammates..., woohoo) really came to the point where all the enlightening moments proposed by this game suddenly vanished...

FF X:
The actual final boss is really easy if you've done any of the side stuff. That's to be expected (completing all the sidequests in a RPG almost always makes you overpowered for the boss), but even after blowing through the boss, you have to tediously hack through all the Aeons and Yu Yevon. By the end of that, I was no longer excited about reaching the end of the game, and just wishing the game would hurry up and end.

You don't even fight the last boss...you just watch it being beaten by another, bigger creature who didn't exist until you got to that point.

It's certainly not the worst offender but I expected so much more.

MGS 2's last battle,
, was rather anticlimactic. His character was really poorly built. I barely knew who the hell he was when I was fighting him.

Half-life's final boss was definitely a WTF moment. The whole (I forget the name of the alien planet) part just blew all types of ass. What a shitty way to end a good game.
Duke Nukem Advance. I was on the spaceship, a couple levels in and found a new enemy. I was about halfway done emptying my rockets into it before I realized, oh, this is probably the final boss.
The game was still better than Dark Arena, Ecks Vs Sever and Ballistics put together.

Personally,
all in all I liked Chrono Cross. I enjoyed the battle system, having the ability to auto-heal post battle was cool, and while they definitely should have gone into some characters more, I enjoyed the basic story. As for the ending, simply answering what exactly happened to Schala was more than enough for me, cause that was a fucking burning question at the end of CT.

Yeah. I think you nailed it... I liked FFVIII but IX, I loathed - the endboss came from nowhere and really I just sat there and thought WTF!?!@@!?@!!?@ Most jumbled messed up next gen FF. As boring as X was, at least there was some semblance of coherence. And I also thought that Ultimecia was one of FF's better bosses; evil, female and possibly

I also agree with Green Pandas comments about the Aeons in FFX. What a pain and incredibly dull too. Urgh.
OH.
some of you guys will be shocked but....
LOZ WW. I didn't like the ending too much. The Ganondorf fight was poetic but I wanted something like 1000000000000x times grander and more epic. LOZ OOT nailed it with an awesome fight and even MM had a WTF moment going into that Lull before fighting Majora's.
Ultima 9 - pagan. What a way to ruin a class franchise and ending. Ultima 7 + 8 were class but Pagan just ... URGGH.

Yeah, but there weren't any bosses throughout the game, so I don't know what you were expecting. I pretty much expected from the beginning to be fighting the wizard.
Also, yeah I really like MM up UNTIL the last boss... I mean, come on,
the MASK as a boss??
Sonic 3 Genesis. The game ends with a sudden, shallow and easy boss fight at the end of the 6th stage. It really shows that Sonic 3 was only half of the entire game.
On the other hand, the Sonic & Knuckles ending (the real ending of Sonic 3) is great, the best in the 16 bit Sonic series IMO.
