Examples of this type of final boss include: Ultimecia, Necron, and Yu Yevon.
Did you pay much attention to the storyline of FFX? Yu Yevon does have quite a connection, although I agree the battle itself was useless (he hardly ever uses anything but Gravija and, only as a counterattack, Curaga (although if you fight long enough, I've seen him use Ultima as well - but still, auto-life means it can't kill you)). Ultimecia, that's already been justified by someone else. I do agree Necron was really out-of-nowhere though... >_>
