Ultimecia was perhaps one of the easiest final bosses in the series if you ask me. Regardless of how many forms she has, she never gave me any trouble. In fact, I have trouble thinking of any that gave me that much trouble, but Zeromus would probably be the one that gave me the most (in the hardtype version).
Necron was by far the hardest for me, probably only because Trance Kuja is there to weaken you before the battle.
Ultimecia is so easy!~
(erm...though I should mention I was already lv.100 with high-powered magic in Squall's junction list, equipped with Lionheart and Aura spells when I reached the end of the game... Ultimecia didn't last more than a couple of turns against me.)
Ultimicia was SO hard. I had to start the game over, and I still never beat her...
Training at the Islands closest to Heaven and Hell are great places to level up. Oh, and equip Squall with the Lionheart, max out his Attack stat with 99 Ultima Spells, and you should be able to take out Ultimecia easily.Quote:

Even without that stuff she's too easy. In fact, being level 100 really wouldn't help any since she'll just level with you. The more important part is having good junctions. In which case you're better off using encounter none and using the draw points hidden on the island closest to heaven and hell rather than levelling.Quote:

I am very disappointed because I found that Ultimecia is more D**N than Omega (it is said that this Omega is the Superboss!).
I beat Omega with 100 level, 255 ATK to Squall and Zell, also 255 DEF to Rinoa. 400 Ultimas, Meltdowns, FullLifes, Auras, Holys, Quakes, Tornados, etc to 4 my characters. I collect hero and holy war drink, but not once I need/used them! also, no invincible moon.
So I found Ultimecia is more hard than him with her apocalypse, but it is still not a big matter to me.
The stongest bosses I think is "the monsters sidequest" in FF X... Penance
Sephiroth and Kefka were the easiest for me. Ultimecia is harder only because the fight takes longer and you actually have to pay attention to your health during her final form.
Necron is easily the hardest. He was more of a challenge than Ozma was.
Ultimecia was never a problem 'cause the lvl-up-and-enemy-lvls-too system. It is easy without those superbuffs or limit breaks only that, but it sure takes time.
Most challengin' boss was Penance in FFX (PAL). ^^'
I trained there, but not enough, apparently. :eep:Quote:

I loaded up the same exact file to beat him again, thinking it would be just as easy, but I was wrong! It was soooo hard! I had to leave and level up some! I don't know what was so different, though...
Ultimecia was incredibly easy. But then, so are most bosses in Final Fantasy games. Chaos was the easiest. I wasn't even done preparing for battle when he fell.
That being said, Necron is the hardest boss I've ever faced in a Final Fantasy game. I haven't played FFII or FFXII and I'm only in X-Death's world in FFV. The other mainstream games I've played through. (And I'm not counting FFIII, for reasons you know if you've followed my posts. I'm not getting into it here because people attack me for reasons unknown when I bring it up.) So, seeing as how I've beat most of the bosses Final Fantasy has to offer, most with no trouble, my authority that Necron is the hardest boss in Final Fantasy is pretty solid.
Jesswee, that happened to me with Atma Weapon last time I played Final Fantasy VI. I beat him just fine. Then I killed myself on that pole you beat on the way out. Rather than checking to see if he had reflect, I cast Fire 3 on him four times with all four of them reflecting back to me and killing my characters one by one with nothing I could do to stop it. The second time I faced Atma Weapon, he was incredibly difficult, but I still managed. I don't know what the difference was.

I don't understand how you guys do it. I mean, yeah sure, Ultimecia wasn't that tough compared to other end-game bosses, but if your Level 100, that would still be tough. Cause it's been proven that the lower level you are, the EASIER it is to actually take down monsters, because they grow at such an exponential rate compared to your party members.
Yeah, and the main thing are junctions to strength, magic, and HP. Seriously. Maybe a few ELM and STA junctions depending on the boss fight. Lionheart, My Final Heaven, and Wishing Star are really all that you need to kick ass. Omega Weapon was only tough because he has an instant-kill move. Yes, it affects your whole party and you cannot block it (Unless you have a holy war, *wink wink*).
Onto the main topic. I'm assuming we get to choose non-plotline bosses as well, so my vote will be Nemesis from Final Fantasy X. Never heard of him? You need to complete all the Arena capturing quests in order to unlock him.
But damnit, he was tough.
I wouldn't use My Final Heaven or Wishing Star. "Armageddon Fist" is a much better strategy for Zell, and the random aspect of Rinoa's Limits make them unreliable. Irvine's Hyper and Fast Shots are much better.Quote:
