Spoilers! So what other Final Fantasy VII enemy should get the Boss treatment? Spoilers!

[Nakenorm]

As most of us know, the Hell House was just one of many random, weird enemies you could encounter in the original game, and many of us was discussing how and if they would include it in the remake.
And while some was very sure it would show up I suspect no one was anticipating Square would dial it up to 11 the way they did and actually choose the Hell House of all enemies to be a boss in the game.
And judging by the discussion online, the coliseum and Hell House might actually turn out to be one of the most memorable moments in the Remake.

Anyway, now that we know Square isn't afraid to go all out with the FFVII remake project I wanna know what other enemies you want to turn into a crazy, multiple phase boss?
What about Yuffie before she joins the party? Those guillotine guys?
Or maybe those Triceratops tanks?

shout-out to Eligor as well

 

[Annabel]

I think Midgar Zolom is the most obvious choice.

Unless that WAS a boss and I'm just tripping, it's been literally a decade since I played the original.

Edit: Yeah I looked it up and its already a boss so I was tripping lol.

 

[show me your skeleton]

cait sith

make him real big

It was an optional boss I believe

 

[RecRoulette]

Talking regular enemies and not bosses/sub-bosses right? (Otherwise Midgar Zolom wins that free)

The Death Dealers (jesters) from later in the game could be cool too with their tarot card attacks

it's an optional boss. it would be neat if he defeated the party pretty easily and they washed up ashore with sephiroth having killed it with ease.

but, with how powerful the party was by the end of FFVIIR, i'm not sure how well it would work lol

 

[demu]

that thing could be epic

 

[The Unsent]

Make fort condor a battle you can properly participate in, like Helm's Deep lol.

The Kimara Bug.

That weirdo in Nibel's Manor basement.

 

[Mars People]

A lot of the enemies in Final Fantasy 7 made no logical sense at all did they?

 

[Masagiwa]

It's incredible that they took the enemies that people were debating being cut from the game and instead made them highlights/bosses.

 

[HououinKyouma]

I want Lost Number to corrupt my save if I don't beat him the first time. Go all-out.

 

[Calabi]

I cant remember what they are called but the two skeleton guys floating on discs that throw magic cards at you.

Absolutely not

 

[Banzai]

I think the spiders from the Cosmo Canyon cave probably will be condensed into a single big boss fight.
The dragon from the Nibelheim flashback might end up being a boss for the party, just to hammer home how OP Sephiroth is.
The Ice Lady protecting the Alexander Materia will either be switched out completely or be a bigger fight.

Or, you know, none of that. Who knows.

 

[McScroggz]

I'm way more disappointed that they didn't make Doomtrain a boss in the ghost train yard than I should be.

 

[Gold Arsene]

Well first off...



Kay now with that out of the way...

I think you're dead on the money.

Well except for the spiders I guess since Cosmo Canyon already have a pretty memorable boss fight

 

[ReginaldXIV]

Watch out!

 

[Lockheartilly9799]

Definitely the dinosaur tank. That thing is obnoxious! haha

 

[PancakeFlip]

This made it in as a miniboss but the redesigned its face to look less goofy. Look more like a Predator head.

YUP. Those things are already basically minibosses as it is. Remember how much they fuck you up if they show up in the Battle Arena while you're solo? Woof.

 

[Scuttlefluff]

In the next part? Got to be the serpent before Mr Dolphin part. We're going to Junon next game, right? Jenova on the ship, Midgar Zolom, Turks with Elena, plenty of others to choose.

"Well I mean it's a forced one on one fight surely they wouldn't let them keep a one hit kill mooooooOH FUCK YOU!"

 

[carlsojo]

It would be pretty cool if they added Sora in as an optional solo fight.

Even cooler if it was Sephiroth vs. Sora just to totally flip things on their head.

It's Level 9 Death, right? The move that's designed to straight-up fuck you over if you grind to max level?

 

[SimonSimon]

FF VII is a real transition point between old and new Final Fantasy. What a bizarre mix of silliness and cartooniness with serious drama. Later games tried to keep those tones more separate. But VII is like VI, where a city has its water supply poisoned and a man loses his family, and then you get to suplex a train.

 

[Dark_Castle]

As many as possible. I love the boss fights of FFVIIr.

Nah, that's too much fan-service. Maybe as a dlc, but I don't want immersion breaking with random cross-overs like it's a Tales game.

I can't imagine Disney would be okay with this...remember, Square does not own Sora at all and can't use him without Disney's permission.

 

[Cactuar]

Hell House was not the only such case in Remake.

Eligor was just a rare random encounter in the OG FF7.

In the Remake he was turned to a boss in the Train Graveyard.

 

[entremet]

I'm sure many will be.

FFVII had many wacky ass enemy designs that don't really fit the remake.

 

[LiK]

Demon's Gate is gonna be insane in Remake

I feel like these guys are more suited for random encounters rather than a boss fight. They're small, and they can basically ambush you anywhere. Hell House and the Dino Runner make sense as bosses because they're huge, but these guys are great fits for "that annoying enemy" in the Shinra Mansion that you need a ranged character to knock down before the party can hit them.

 

[Lulu]

Tankceratops is my favorite dumb FF7 enemy

Brain Pod and Sword Dance as well.

 

[Deleted member 4976]

Man, Hell House was so damn good. That entire chapter with the dance too. Pleasant surprises across the board.

 

[Host Samurai]

Zolom is definitely a shoe in for a boss.
I really can't wait to see the Weapon bosses though.

 

[Arkeband]

They should back-port in PuPu's, the greatest of frenemies.

 

[Pyccko]

I want Pollensalta and I want them to give it lore

 

[Kain]

Palmer is all the goofy ass we need

Can't wait to destroy him in the next game

 

[curtismyhero]

I want Lost Number to corrupt my save if I don't beat him the first time. Go all-out.

You are absolutely mad! I was stuck on this guy for quite some time... so just the thought of having more than a game over makes my hands sweat.

Not specifically related to the OP (as it's not a normal enemy) but I can't wait to see what the damn demon wall (gate?) is going to look like. Damn boss made me restart my whole game, as I wasn't aware of multiple save files and I was too under leveled to beat him. I'll be ready this time.

Edit: looks like I'm not the only one. :)

 

[Aly]

I did not remember how goofy and mismatched all these FF7 enemies were until now.

 

[Richietto]

I really liked which monsters they chose to become unique boss encounters. Pretty much anything that's overly large or weird enough that it wouldn't make sense as a random creature out and about should be a boss. Great examples so far.

 

[Gold Arsene]

And any of the dragon enemies could work really.

This guy made people hallucinate their pasts in Before Crisis. Similar to Eligor in the Train Graveyard. I can see that being really cool in the remake.

I want to see this guy in all his Russian doll weirdness.
