To be honest, my memory of FFX is very fuzzy. The only moments I remember with clarity are; the horrible laughing scene(I blame the internet for this one, it comes up often), the hugging scene, Titus crying in the ending and being very frustrated dodging fucking lighting 200 times(I remember this clearest... though I don't remember if the wand or rod I got from doing it was worth it). I can't for the life of me remember actually fighting the giant space whale... frog... rocket... thing... was it a cut scene?
Yeah, you fight him from the deck of the airship. Nevermind the fact that the giant space whale monster is capable of launching super kamehame death beams capable of destroying entire cities. No, let's just go out on deck and have Wakka throw a frickin' dodgeball at it's fin (that's the first part of the fight, you fight one of it's flippers) for a while. You then jump on it's back and fight what looks like a giant anus. Then you get to go inside for the final dungeon.
From my WoW days, I'd chalk many up for anticlimactic, naturally, with so many being present, but I think the one that disappointed me most was not one, but two jormungars.
Hold up your hands. Pretend they are Jormungars. That is how many Jormungars you must face IN THE MOUNTAINS. TWO AT THE SAME TIME.

Pinwheel in Dark Souls. In a game rewound for its crushingly hard boss battles, a boss that you can just run up to and kill with three swings of a sword felt a bit out of place
That's also the only battle you can summon Paladin Leroy for, and he's basically the best. He has healing magic he uses on himself ffs.
My own answer is Granny Rags from Dishonored. Stand on a rock and she can't hit you, and in a game all about verticality and the ability to explore the open environment top to bottom. On the flip side, the assassin dude whose name I can't remember was a great fight. Just try to walk up to him in time stop like I did, it blew my mind.

This has probably been mentioned but I'm not going to read all four pages to check.
Pinwheel from Dark Souls.
I was expecting him to be like all the other bosses so I got my good weapons out, circled round him cautiously, gave out a tentative swing of the sword and took out half his health. Really?
The Gaping Dragon in Darksouls. Its so easy to beat, just stay to the right and avoid the charges. However it is one of my favourit monster designs in any game ever. So terrifying to look at... but so easy.
