10 Best Boss Battles In Final Fantasy History - Ranked

Initially believing himself to be the Angel of Death sent to assimilate Gaia and Terra, Kuja is driven mad when he finds out Zidane was to be his replacement.

His flair for the dramatic can get a little irritating, but it's not like he doesn't have the power to back up his claims, and his descent into madness is hugely compelling. In fact, it makes the final fight even more dangerous.

Kuja has no ultimate plan, no reason to live. He simply wants destruction.

The music in the battle is phenomenal, combining organ music with guitar riffs which perfectly match the pace of the fight. Kuja, now in his red Trance state, as a sign of the challenge to come, begins the battle by casting Flare Star – a hugely damaging magic attack which ignores reflect and scales in damage depending on how strong your party is.

Furthermore, that's not the only time he uses it, alongside other powerful attacks, which mean keeping your team healed is a necessity.

It's a fun and challenging battle which ends in... defeat! After you've diminished enough of Kuja's HP, he casts Ultima, crippling your party.

That's right, uniquely, the player never actually defeats Kuja throughout the entire game!
