Doesn't anyone else think FFIX's boss was random? He just came out of nowhere and said "I've been watching you and want to fight you!" Wow what a plot twist that was.
End boss- random?

Necron was more symbolic than plot-driven.
It kinda startled me bc i had no idea and barely made it though trance kuja. as it turns out though Necron was pretty easy, and made Zidane seem more like a good guy.
Just when you thought you've already finished off the main villian,and suddenly another one that has almost no connection of the main plotline pops up,now that's TOTALLY RANDOM.If it was Garland I wouldn't be that surprised.
Hence Necron being more symbolic to something in the FFIX world, exactly what maybe up to interpretation. Her goal is to return everything to a "zero-world" where there is no Crystal to renew the life that has been destroyed by Necron herself. Necron, perhaps, is symbolic to FFIX beings' wish for a world with no fear, pain, etc. for her goal is to return everything to nothing. If we do not exist, neither do negative emotions, and if we do not exist, we cannot feel them even if they remained. Therefore I feel Necron represents the extreme end of the strive for a painless world. She also could be tied into the idea of "maybe we don't exist" rather easily.Originally Posted by Omnislasher Draco
Try reading the plot analysis done by Squall of SeeD in Gamefaq.com.
He says that Necron is the main function of the Iifa Tree, doesn't he?
I don't really agree with many of his plot analysis (gaaaah, AC!)
Deus ex Machina final boss. Homage to Zeromus/Neo X-Death/CoD, and so on.
compared to zeromus and neo X-death i wouldnt call that random. necron has a purpose and explanatoin. this question has been asked too many times.

Even if he's random, does it matter? He's a good Final Boss with one of the best Final Boss tunes of all FF's. ANd believe me, I heard almost every Final Boss tune
But, like others said, he's not all that random, there's a reason behind his appearance.
I mean, compare him to NeoExDeath, that dude also just shows up saying "I'll destroy everything including myself!". It's the same.
But I never thought NeoExDeath as bad, he was at least challenging, compared to ExDeath.
So, yeah...
Necron's presence is explanable, but I've tried putting my theory into words and it didn't even make sense to me. You just have to figure it out for yourself.
when I first saw Necron I thought I was gonna be finished, it actually took me atleast a hundred smurfing times to do so.

Random bosses are the in-thing with FF's. Haven't you noticed? We've had time-travelling knights, undead emperors, irate patches of cloud, mutated moon-men and crazed nothingness beasts. Heck, we didn't get a sensical end boss until FF6.
There is no signature here. Move along.
but there was that tree man in 5
But at least the unexpected Final Bosses were at least a challenge.
Think about it, Kefka, Seph and Ultimecia weren't that hard at all.
