Hey there people.
I came across this idea while writing a post on here earlier. Forgive me if this has already been thought up, but I didn't see it anywhere.

The next MK has so many possibilities for who the next boss could be. You got Onaga, you have Dark Raiden, you have Shao Kahn, you could even have Evil Liu Kang.
Instead of choosing one, why not have two ultimate bosses? I got the idea while writing my entry in this thread: http://mortalkombatonline.com/content/forum/showmessage.cds?id=57133

basically, this is the thought behind it: Bring back the "choose your destiny" screen. The "Choose Your Destiny" screen would be set up much like MK4's, with a rotating column that has more characters to fight the further right you move. Rotate a column once or twice, and you fight Raiden at the end. Rotate it once or twice more, and you fight Kahn at the top.
If you wanted to get really creative, you could have video cutscenes between the fights, and depending on which path you chose (tackle Kahn, or deal with Raiden..?) the cutscenes would be a little different. The endings for the characters might also be a bit different (not by too much) depending on who you chose to defeat as a boss.
This could also help replay value in Arcade mode.

It would be cool if when you beat each boss, you were treated to a character cut-scene. Beat all three, and not only do they fit into one story, they fuse, making one fluid movie, with some added bits here and there.

That would be cool to have cutscenes between boss fights.

I don't think we will see Liu Kang or Shao Kahn as a Boss in MK7 However I will not be suprised if Raiden is the new Boss.wow

THE CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY IDEA IS GREAT....BUT it will make no sense to the story if you have to fight different bosses instead of one...

but i like the idea of having many bosses, it just depend how they do it.

Also i was thinking of a boss battle like DOA 3 OR DOA2 ULTIMATE, in which the boss has incredible power and the dimension of the fight is altered (DOA 3) ?

What do you think?

What I was thinking is maybe if you only beat one boss, you get part of their ending. If you go back, play arcade mode again, and this time beat the second boss, you could get their full ending. Kinda like the Jack endings in Tekken3. Or something to that effect.
Something like the DOA battles would be cool.
For example, in my idea, the presence of the Kamidogu's together are warping the very fabric of the realms, so as you are fighting Raiden (or maybe even Kahn) the landscape keeps changing.
Either way, the CYD screen needs to be back. It adds a little more flavor, challenge, and option to the arcade mode.

Actually, I kind of like that idea because there could be 4 "choose your destiny" bars, which will have a different combonation and assortment of charcters each time you enter this mode like in MKT. Also instead of rotating the bars I think that only two or three bars should have the same boss on it: For example, the 1st and 4th bar might have Shao Khan as the final boss and the 2nd and 3rd bar might have a different final boss. I really don't need to say this for the Sub Bosses because it was already done on MKT and I would assume that the developers would do the same thing with this new game.

I also think that when you beat arcade mode that you should be able to choose a reward in the treasures like on MKT once more. They might include secret/hidden character fights, secret/hidden boss fights, unlockables, upgrades, and new modes. I think that this would definetly be a more fun way to unlock things in the game then it is with the krypt.
