I think he means more specifically bosses like Zeromus, Cloud of Darkness and Necron, who you literally hear nothing of until the final boss is defeated and then they rise up and say something along the lines of "LOLZ, IMMA EAT TIME".
If I had another criticism of FFIX it'd be way too many red herring enemies. First it's Brahne, then Kuja, then you think Garland is worse, then it's Kuja again but you also have to fight Garland, who also wants to kill Kuja.
I think their effort to make Kuja and Garland not total dicks lead to having have Necron as the final boss, that is, a total definable evil that needs destroying. Sort of like FFIV really. We all admired Golbez's moxie and his sweet armor so they had to make a Phantasy Star enemy into the final boss.
