To those thoughts, while I agree that at face value all signs seemed to point towards Godwyn, FROM does craft there lore intentionally vaguely which gives them room to recontextualize basically however they like. And while you're probably right that FROM let outside opinions influence who the boss ended up being, I don't think they did it in a way that fractured any established lore and I believe it did serve added purpose in explaining more about why Malenia essentially kamikaze'd Caelid. I think as far as Godwyn goes, his story is meant to be one of tragedy and missed potential. He was supposed to be the poster child of the Golden Order, possibly one who could even succeed Marika as God of the Lands Between. But as we all know all that could've been was shattered on the night of the black knives. I think FROM were intentional about giving the player some possible degree of hope, just as some demigods (i.e. Miquella) thought he still might be able to return. But Destined Death is... well it's Destined. There's no running from it as far as I know. As much as it might feel a little fanservice-y having the final boss be Radahn, I imagine FROM would have a much harder time crafting a convincing explanation as to how Godwyn would be able to come back with his soul essentially being deleted. In all honesty, I'd rather have just had a solo Miquella battle. Now while conceptually I don't have really any issues with the fight, I do think the execution could've been better. Like you, I adore the Twin Princes fight and as you said this was obviously taking inspiration from those roots. However, the second phase of this fight doesn't really feel like you're fighting two different entities, as it did with Lorian and Lothric. Instead, it just feels like Radahn's attacks got powered up. I wish we had gotten more Miquella focused attacks, because the only one he does have isn't even engaging at all, you just run away
Also that quick doubleswipe attack he does into the cross attack, is undeniable bullshit. Rest of his attacks are learnable though.

How are your attempts at the final boss going @Lee Ba Shou
Phase 1 is going well. He has some tricky timings and spacing but largely I feel like he’s fair. I’ve got his phase 1 down well enough but he still kills me in phase 1 pretty occasionally. I’m not using any summons btw.
Phase 2 is about as much of a shitshow as you might suspect lmfao. I feel like I typically die in less than ten seconds of him actually beginning his combos. Not gonna lie, I’m YouTubing guides on phase 2. I feel like he kills me so rapidly that I don’t have any real time to learn him.

i'm in a pretty similar boat
i have tried using summons a few attempts, and most of the time they lose 30% of their hp from his first attack so i don't see the point.
phase 1 i can dodge most attacks. it's alright... but i feel like for the amount of damage he takes and does to you he should have way more openings. At most i can only get 2-3 hits with a moonveil of all things and that does neglible damage
phase 2 is ridiculous, i might have to switch my build

Phase 2's attacks are definitely much less intuitive than phase 1's though I can give you some pointers on specific moves if you'd like
I think they're all learnable though besides that bullshit double swipe -> cross attack

New patch just dropped, Rolling Sparks/Perfome bottles got killed, Bloodfiends Arm got hit with a nerf, same with Fireknight GS
Expected stuff.
FWIW @Blackbeard I don't think Midra's sword was touched!
