8 Most ANTI-CLIMACTIC Video Game Deaths

3. Yu Yevon - Final Fantasy X

Though the real final boss of Final Fantasy X is Braska's Final Aeon, the actual final enemy you'll encounter in the game is Yu Yevon - the creator of Sin and the story's ultimate antagonist.

It's tough to call the final showdown with Yu Yevon a boss battle, though, given that it's near-impossible to die and he can be easily beaten in a single turn if you know what you're doing.

The combination of this hilarious nothingburger of a final battle with his ridiculous scarab-like appearance, and also the fact that he perishes amid a cosmic popcorn-fart, makes the whole thing feel completely underwhelming.

But that's entirely by design on the part of Square Enix - again, Braska's Final Aeon is the real blockbuster finale to the game, after which Yu Yevon is simply a pathetic critter to be slain with barely more than a shoulder shrug.

That explanation may not satisfy everyone who expected more from such a hyped-up entity, but it's certainly appropriate as anti-climaxes go.
