10 Most Disappointing Video Game Villains

OK, we get it. For a game about existentialism, in which every major character is facing their own existential crisis, you have to include death somewhere in there.

Death is the most basic building block of the entire concept of existentialist philosophy and psychology. It would be weird not to talk about or face death in some way.

But saving it for the very end of the game where the concept of death is embodied by a last-second boss encounter that appears out of nowhere and is more or less immediately forgotten isn't what I'd call... well, good.

After saving the world from the game's actual villain, Kuja, protagonist Zidane is suddenly addressed by a mysterious voice - Necron. He says he's been observing the game's events and has concluded that all life only exists to die, so he's gonna kill everything. You then fight and beat him, and he's undone by the revelation of how powerful the will to live is. That's the entirety of this guy's role in the game - a goth teen's journal condensed into a boss fight.
