Im 100% sure DK is the final boss. SOurces will tell you that. Also they confirmed it already. You have good points but DK's gonna be "THE SHIT" or Final Boss. But the Lui theory maybe the mid or sub. BUt DK's the final boss its confirmed. Plus the whole f*cking games about him think a little.

Bezou and Raiden_is_god, you guys raise good points and I can honestly see where you guys are coming from. Especialy as the game seems to about the DK so much. I have a few arguments but the main one is why would they show him so early, that's all, I just find it an extremely odd move on Midway's part...

no, its stupid

u are disagreeing with facts!

tell me, do u think the sub-zero in MKD is the one from mk1?

cause u sound like someone that would think that

Show him so early? We are seen almost all roster, many death traps and several Fatalitys before seeing the Dragon King in action.

Probably it mistakes me, but it seems that these disappointed with the Dragon King, and you prefer that he's another the final boss, with the hope who is better, from your point of view...

I really think your right!
But if dragon king is a sub-boss?Will he be playeble then

Doesn't make much sense on Midway's part, why did they need to show in game action of him? Just seems kinda odd, that's all. Remember they showed Moloch (sub-boss) long before MKDA was released. Next, the DK is on the cover right? So logicaly he must be the last boss. Well think back to EVERY box cover there has been for MK games, and tell me how many times the final boss has appeared. I do remember that Goro (sub-boss) was on the cover of MK4 though... In the 1st trailer it says, "A sinister force hides in the shadows, obsessed on dominating every realm. Using the trust and loyalty of an ally, to take it all through deception." Well they've shown him already, that's hardly 'hiding in the shadows.' Plus Midway can't be dumb enough not to know how much more intimidating the DK (and his stage) would have been if we hadn't seen him and just fought our way to him fo the first time. This is a DIRECT quote from Ed Boon in April: "Well, the Dragon King is the big bizarre -- he's our Goro, he's our Motaro. He's going to play a huge part of the story. In the opening FMV, you're going to see everything...He's got a really cool background when you fight him." -Interpret that any way you want. Finaly, the game is called Mortal Kombat Deception, what bigger Deception is there than making everyone believe he is the final boss, then surprising everyone when the game is released! Agree or not?

Showing a final boss this early is suicide for any company trying to keep things a secret.

And as far Boon saying that DK is the final Boss, think about this: just which is he the final boss for? Arcade, Konquest, or both? Konquest is their RPG version of Mortal Kombat, so a different character could be the final boss there. Just something to think about.

I really don't care if the DK is the final boss or not, all that matters is that he's a blast to fight. The fight is more important than the placement, right?

i dont think its stupid or impossible, there has to be SOMETHING decieving us or else it wouldnt be called deception, it might not have to do with the DK not actually being in charge, it could be a few things, so its still a good speculation..

Wow... I mean... Wow, you have alot of time on your hands, dont you? That great thinking... REALLY GOOD THINKING! I always thought Liu Kang goin' Evil would be a great deception to... I just never thought it was a possibility... WOW! lol

No I know the Sub Zero in MKD is the one from MK2, MK3, MK4 and MKDA - it has been proven that he is the 1st one's brother with fact. But you keep on about how I am ignoring facts, please, how many quotes have you shown me to disprove my theory? None.

If you really want to me to take your argument seriously come with some facts, instead of just your opinion. I mean, take a look at the responses, and see which are in the majority? The ones supporting my idea, which may not be right, but until you prove me wrong or buy and beat the game, I will defend my theory.

Do you believe everything you are told?
Cause u sound like someone that would...

-Oh and thanks to eveyone who support's my theory, and even those who disagree in a civil manner

I don't want to overstep my bounds considering that it's my first time posting, but I'm shocked that you guys are making some real wild far fetched final boss characters. Ekule is the only one I saw that said Raiden might be the final boss. Which can be true. Take into the account that his uni is all black and torn from his trying to stop the Dragon King. But that could be just from the fight. Then you have the fact that Lui Kang is suppose to be in Kanos body. If any of you remember, at the end of DA (i forget which ending showed this) Quan Chi killed Kano cause he figured that Kano would turn on him just like he turned on Shang Tsung. A sole then shot out of the Soulnado and went into Kanos body. It was Lui Kang. So, that could be one cause Lui could be evil in Kano. Or he could be trying to stop the army. Blah blah, too many scenarios.

Nonetheless, I think that it's a good possiblity that the DK is going to be the final boss. Right now I'm content in just waiting and finding out for myself.

-Fuj

Shao Kahn's revenge!!!! :)

Shinomune Wrote: From the Interview of MKOnline to Ed Boon: "]0MBAT: Question #3 comes from Jared Ferris from Quebec. He writes, "Yo Ed, I'm curious about the mid-boss that will appear in the new game Mortal Kombat: Deception. So far it's been said that the Dragon King will be the final boss, and he'dd be equivalent to Goro, Kintaro, Motaro from previous games. But will there still be a real mid-boss, one that is not intially playable?" Ed Boon: Uh, yes, actually the mid-boss character in Deception is one of the few . It's gonna be, uh, one of the hottest characters we've had in Mortal Kombat, and will end up being a character you can play as, and our plan right now is to have the Dragon King as the last boss character." The DK is the Final Boss, no one SINGLE power can be superior than the DK...

Why the hell would they give this whole story of the Dragon King's return, his unbeatable army and why in the hell would Raiden "sacrifice" himself to defeat the DK. The Dragon King is the last boss for christs sake. The sub boss is gonna be bad ass cause Boon even said it 1 of their best ideas.

For all those saying "Why would they show the final boss so early??" Well...have any of you been here before DA came out? Anyone? The MK team tends to be VERY open about the game before it actual comes out...actually, if I remember correctly they even let out the opening video quite a while before the game came out, which released a hell of a lot of info...ANYWAY...
I think it would be very possible for the final boss to not be the DK, but to tell the truth I'd be kind of dissapointed. Look at the guy...I mean....damn! I don't think I've ever seen a more imposing character(Lets not bring Kahn into this...it was his personality =P)...They've been building up his presense(sp?...it's late where I am) WAY too much, and if someone just comes "from the shadows" and sweeps the victory from him in all his ginormous glory...I'm gonna be a little confused. Though I suppose if somehow they made either Quan fuse with him through the medallion, or Shang absorb billions of souls and become "Super Shang" or if Raiden showed off his "true power"(or something spiffy like that) then I suppose that's another story...but a little farfetched...Eh, it'll happen how it happens and it'll be bad ass...

what about if the boss is infact The Dragon King and the sub-boss is the deception... aka an evilly transformed and manipulated Raiden? His powerful enough to be a sub-boss, can be playable and etc etc etc..

peace.

Though I consider it unlikely. It could be possible that the DK will have two forms of himself to defeat. Perhaps one of the deceptions could be that you will think you beat him as his "sub-boss" form, and then he comes back bigger and badder than before in his final boss form. I know it would be un-original, but it would not necessarily be a bad thing. It's only a thought I had. But, as most of times the case remains the same... we will have to wait and see. And I'm very excited!

Thats a good idea actualy imo. I wouldn't mind that happening at all, kinda like Ogre in Tekken 3. You beat him, then he comes back bigger, stronger and pissed off Could happen...

If you read the GamePro issues w/MK:D in it(October) Boon even says that the Dragon King is the coolest, baddest last boss we've ever had. The Dragon King is the last boss. End of story.
