== JRPG ==
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' has three scenarios for the three main characters, each scenario has its own [[Final Boss]]. The [[True Final Boss]], though, is fought in the Final Episode (accessed by collecting all off the [[Gotta Catch Them All|Xehanort reports]] throughout the three scenarios) {{spoiler|as Aqua, fighting desperately against the crazed [[Big Bad]] Xehanort [[Grand Theft Me|possessing her friend Terra's body.]]}}
** [[Updated Rerelease|Final Mix]] takes it a step further with the Secret Episode. {{spoiler|This takes place during Aqua's time in the land of Darkness where she fights off many pure-blood Heartless (such as Shadows, Neoshadows and Darkballs) until she faces a new unnamed boss Heartless. Also, this is the only time Heartless are fought in the game at all!}}
* The ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' games that feature "skill points" - optional challenges in each level - often have a harder final boss as a "reward" for completing most or all of them. Examples include Septuagint in ''Original Generation'', Stern Regisseur in ''Original Generation 2'', and the unholy powerful Neo Granzon in ''Alpha Gaiden''.
Line 92:
* ''[[Baten Kaitos]] Origins'' typically ends with a [[Anticlimax Boss|slightly anticlimactic]] [[That One Boss|(but still stupidly hard)]] battle against {{spoiler|Verus}}. If you defeated a certain optional boss, though, {{spoiler|Wiseman shows up possessing Verus's corpse and reveals himself to be [[The Man Behind the Man]]. The true final battle that ensues is much more climactic and satisfying}}.
* ''[[Romancing SaGa]]: Minstrel's Song'' has an optional True Final Boss. If you manage {{spoiler|to acquire all ten Fatestones (something that requires quite a bit of planning and cannot be accomplished until you have cleared the game at least twice), you can offer them all up to the final boss,}} vastly increasing his powers. The jump in strength for each stone beyond the fifth gets larger and larger, and the jump to the tenth is what makes 10FS Saruin a True Final Boss.
* ''[[Mana Khemia Alchemists of Al Revis]]''. The [[Final Boss]] is {{spoiler|your ''main character'' fighting against his friends trying to [["I Know You
* In the first ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' game, {{spoiler|Tyr/Myrna's [[One-Winged Angel]] form}} is one of these, only occurring if {{spoiler|you use Agni/Infinity in the second fight}}.
* ''[[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]]'' has a rare example of this (rare for the series anyway, which tends much more towards Bonus Bosses) if you go for the Worst Ending. Upon defeating Zenon, you end up fighting {{spoiler|Rozalin/the real Overlord Zenon,}} who is at level ''2000.'' (Compare with the previous fight with an enemy at level 90.) And unlike the other storyline fights with enemies at this level, you're supposed to win this one. Granted, it'll take a lot of grinding of a sort just to unlock this fight, but it can still catch you off guard. Luckily, there's a way to back out of qualifying for this ending. Which is a ''good'' thing, as your reward for victory is some [[Nightmare Fuel]].
