Holy shit that would be so cool.
Gilgamesh with Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars weapons
I feel like this would work really well if there were no Star Wars references up to that point.
They could find different ways of resolving the story.

Mmm, maybe, but I don't see a way that would be satisfactory. If they include Sephiroth and not have you fight him, I think that'd make people angrier than not including him at all.

Give me a classic villain! Anyone from I to VI. Or even Chrono Trigger.
Ardyn would be nice too.

This is a way better idea than another Sephy fight. The moveset writes itself as well.
Darth Vader as the secret boss would be, uh, something. He doesn't really fit the super agile, flashy style of KH so I don't know they'd make him challenging without looking incredibly dumb. This is the one place where the prequel style Jedi fights might actually be better. Yoda vs Mickey?

Maul?
Just look at force unleashed I guess.

It's like a tradition to have him in the main games, especially with that subplot in KH2, so I'm hoping for his inclusion in the game. I would love to see what they do if they do decide to add Sephiroth like what new moves will he have and what his design would look like.

Add Darth Vader and watch the game fly off the shelves.

Lightning as the secret boss.
they could just make him like a mmo raid boss and have there be a lot of aoe shit flying around and environmental damage/attacks to keep you on your toes despite vader not being a very agile guy, and of course his power in straight up combat would be like, get hit and die
theres a lot you can do with force pushes and pulls

It's tradition at this point so I don't think many people will find it redundant. If they want to make it a different boss that would be cool too. Just keep Lightning as far away as possible
of course they won't
Tournament fights are inevitable.

Yes, please! And make her third phase with Odin!
Most people don't read the comics, so giving Vader a moveset based on those everyone would complain about the game misrepresentating Vader.
If I'm going off any depiction of Vader- and I doubt I'm alone in this- it's the movies, and in the movies, Vader is a decrepit old invalid who gets by on sheer terror and telekinetic chokes. Even knowing some lore definition other than that isn't going to make seeing a speedy Vader less jarring, given the main animated reference point.
I actually thought the Rogue One scene was kind of unintentionally hilarious, and at least he wasn't super mobile in that.

I mean... don't they have to resolve Cloud's story arc?
Cloud has a whole game.
No one will complain if it's fun
That would actually be the entire point of using him. In all the flashy, speedy combat, you put in Darth Vader who is the antithesis to that. He is measured. In control. And you give him a moveset to control the battlefield. Let him shut Sora down if he tries being flashy. Attack from afar with magic? It's reflected. Jump at him with some flashy move? Grabbed with the Force and tossed aside. The only way to win is to play how he wants. In melee. On the ground. And your parry game had better be on point because against the Dark Lord of the Sith... it's all you have.
Of course, after you hit that first combo, he'll do his "Impressive. Most impressive." line and get serious. Congrats, you made Darth Vader take you seriously! Oh, right. That's probably bad. I'd imagine his style would more or less be one of constant melee pressure. Just a straight up swordfight. Vader doesn't do fancy. Naturally, if you run, he'll throw the lightsaber for a one-hit KO.
It's telling that when he fought Ahsoka in Star Wars Rebels, he took control of the fight and forced her to fight his fight, instead of the more acrobatic way she usually fights. I'd take most of his moveset from that fight, to be honest.

The Sephiroth fight got old really fast when KH2 was a thing, so can Nomura et al just choose someone else? I'm sick of the same old FF characters getting air time when there are so many other good characters that should be in the limelight.

I'm fine with not doing Sephiroth. Plenty of other characters available as optional bosses.

Sephiroth, Vader, and Thanos for secret bosses.
This guy as the ultimate, secret boss.

Probably because he's far more boring than Sephiroth is
And Sephiroth is literally comatose the entirety of FF7
They'll remember that as soon as they forget that FF7 is by far their most popular and recognizable game in the FF series
Seriously, nobody wants Bartandelus, kefka, Seymour or any of the other rubes as a boss battle

i wonder if people will remember that ff7 is one of the most iconic games, let alone RPGs, ever made so people are more excited for representation from it
What about her?
This is my vote. a 3 phase fight featuring her from all 3 games.

Whoever the superboss is (and there WILL be a Superboss Nomura. Alright? There will be one.) they have to make sure to have an iconic theme. Like it or lump it, the moment One Winged Angel started playing, you knew you were in for a ride.
Unless you were underlevelled and failed the first reaction command.

No one should want Barthandalus or Seymour. People should want Wiegraf! Now I want an Ivalice world.
There were other characters from FFVII in Kingdom Hearts. It's not like the game is underrepresented.
