Going back and re-reading this thread again...well, I might have to rethink Dark Force 2. Now, he's still amazing, but I'm going to reexamine Zio a bit. Somehow, I overlooked the fact that he does create a religion and has people swooning over him like the guy in the church. And you can't forget the guy in Kadary who's twitching on the ground in front of the church and is doing that EVEN AFTER you defeat Zio (isn't he? It's been a while...) Point is, I got a lot of entertainment out of the crazy followers of Zio's religion. Now, as a boss, I don't consider Zio himself terribly special as a boss, but the entertainment value before him...
Not to bring in a predictable comparison here, but I find this akin to Mr. Carpainter and the Happy-Happy Cult in Earthbound. Same deal...Carpainter isn't a great boss (Frankling Badge makes him pathetic), but the amusement value of the Happy-Happyists is infinite.
