10 Best Fight Scenes In Gaming History

We still have no idea what exactly Sephiroth was babbling on about when he asked Cloud to join him in defying fate at the climax of FF7 Remake. Truth be told, though, it wouldn't have mattered if the former SOLDIER hero had started monologing about how great his mum is or spilling the secrets of the universe — all eyes were on the pair's dance from the word go.

Square knows too damn well how to build tension with intent, and even though a cinematic clash between the two was inevitable, it's easy to picture a knowing smile on the collective studio's face as it made players persevere through a gauntlet of boss battles to get their just rewards. The endorphins crescendo when it becomes evident that an in-game struggle against Sephiroth immediately precedes Cloud's movie-quality last stand against Remake's big bad, and what a payoff it proves to be.

Rebirth topping such a lavish face-to-face between two gaming icons is going to be a tall order but early signs all point to the sequel being bigger and better in almost every regard.
