Looks like they kinda just do it whenever they feel like it.
They usually do it for bosses that cap off story arcs. Ultima in 2.0, Thordan in 3.0, Nidhogg in 3.3, Shinryu in 4.0, Tsukuyomi in 4.3 and Hades in 5.0. The Warrior of Light is the boss capping of the ShB story, so this is really tue first "break in the trend" we've had.
And 2.x had no boss to cap off a story arc.
