User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion of the Week: Final Bosses/@comment-24965733-20160507192318

Hm, this is interesting. I suppose I'll try to contribute.

1. This is a silly question. Even if I didn't immerse myself enough in the community to accidentally catch all the spoilerz in the world, the buildup is pretty clear when you're about to fight the final boss of whatever campaign.

2. I feel these should definitely be a new monster, or at least one that has not previously been a final boss (unless it's a rerelease/ultimate version/whatever) Even if you do have stronger old monsters, keep them as bonus bosses and put a new monster into the spotlight. Given that these monsters are usually the focal point of what little story MH has, it doesn't do well to have repeats.

3. Of the ones I've actually fought as final bosses, my favorite for offline is Shagaru, and for online is, eurgh, I don't really like Dala, Gog, or Miralis. I guess Gog, for being the most tolerable of the three? Of the ones I haven't fought as final bosses, I do enjoy Akantor, Fatalis, and Alatreon.

4. A lot of people are saying Rusted for this. I don't even remember fighting Rusted lol. So, instead I'm going to put Underwater Lao as my least favorite offline and snek urgent pls as least favorite online.

5. I think it's generally valid to anticipate a new online final boss elder for each new installment. As for theming or design or whatnot, I can only hope the MH team can surprise me.

6. The hell is this question. No? I guess?

7. As I said, the buildup is usually the only story MH has. So I'm pretty cool with it overall. A lot of people are saying things to do with equipment here? I don't get it, maybe Banned changed the question?
