It's the only villain in the series that felt like an actual threat, there were no midbosses like Edea or FF9 Garland to hype him, no last minute bait and switch like with Necron or Zemus, he was no glorified victory lap fight like Yu Yevon, he wasn't running away from you like Sephiroth and didn't get his last boss status through fraudulent writing like Kefka, he simply was THE big cheese, the one and only, and from the very beginning of the game.
