I think Xeno is ok. I don't really care whether or not the final boss is easy or hard anymore. I might have cared last year but not anymore. As long as the fight isn't fustrating then it's alright. Xeno's fight is alright. His hitboxes are perfect and besides from the flames on the ground (that can be ignored by the fire mantle), nothing about him fustrates me. I like how they incorparated slinger ammo for you to use, sorta like how a final boss in other game series have you use all the tools at your disposal to defeat it. The area is also pretty too.

His design is kinda cool, a little generic, but cool nonetheless. If he was in the nintendo games, he would look like trash, but since he isn't, he looks pretty. I mean, he's just so shiny and translucent. Very few monsters look as spectacular as he does in terms of visuals. Another thing I like about Xeno is that it's a monster that revolves around energy, as it consumes energy and uses it to fight.

Weapons are disapointing design wise, but the armor is really pretty with the blue wings and helmet.

Unpopular opinion incoming: I think his 2nd phase BGM is a realy great final boss theme. I think it has great atmosphere and really makes the Xeno fight much better then it should be. I was kinda shocked to learn that a lot of people here don't like it, but I can see why they might not like it.
