Wait
(ending spoilers for Armored Core VI)
Doesn’t the game have multiple endings, each with it’s own boss fight?
My friend and I both got different endings on our first play throughs, and now we’re in NG+ trying to figure out where we diverged.
(Spoilers continue)
I don't know for sure, but I think it's just a couple missions before the end. You have a choice to either fight Cinder Carla (siding with Ayre) or to fight the corps (siding with Carla). I sided with Carla, which made Ayre the final boss, and the fight was godawful. My understanding is that there are maybe more endings with NG+, but I'm trying to muster up the will to bother even turning the game on again after how atrocious the Ayre fight was.
fyi to you and @sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz, lemmy has inbuilt spoiler markup. it's:

testYeah Ayre is the boss my friend got and he also had a hard time with it. I won’t tell you who I got, but it definitely wasn’t as bad.
I decided to Google why we got different bosses, and turns out Ayre is actually intended to be the NG+ boss lol. I have no idea why FromSoft would make two final bosses available for the first play through if they have an intended order for them.
I did it on the first or second attempt and I'm pretty mediocre. That shoulder gun you get from the ice worm mission trivializes most of these hard boss fights - you should give rocking two of them a try.
