>Final boss is god
>True final boss is some guy the same size as you with a similar moveset

That is literally my favorite type of ending
>final boss is some kind of powerful dude
>turns into a fucking huge monster after you defeat him
>He transforms into his TRUE god form and a chorus starts singing
>>381729664
Human-like enemies turning into big monsters is literally the worst thing you could do in a boss fight
Monsters regaining their humanity on the other hand is god tier

Aah, you were at my side, all along. My true mentor...My guiding moonlight...
>>381729242
Makes sense. If you defeated a god an antagonist similar to you is also likely to be able to defeat the same god and would thus be the stronger boss.

I liked how Bayonetta was the reverse of this
I don't mind monster bosses, but generally the max size should be around 2.5x the height of the player for it to still be good.

Are there any games that do even half of this?

No, Alucard's situation in Hellsing is fairly unique.
>>381733154
Never. People can't relate or self-insert with monsters that don't look 98% human.

Fuck. Oh well, I tend to really like characters that abandoned their humanity. Willingly or otherwise. Like Sol Badguy or Velvet Crowe. Basically:
>protagonist is a monster
>final level is fighting off against an entire army of brainwashed cultists and Russian soldiers
Thank you, Shadow of Chernobyl
Do robot gods count?

One of the classic Mega Man games had actual space gods.

The idea of OP's post is such a jrpg trope that I forgot it kinda happens in a megaman game
>>381733585
I feel Velvet was the most human of them all when it came to it.

Mega Man V for the Game Boy
But Mega Man Zero 3 fits OP's true final boss bill

>Boss fights theme songs are these huge, imposing, orchestral pieces
>Final boss' theme is a soft solo piano piece
I wish a couple other games did that too

>You meet their warlord champion
