Which Final Fantasy game is the hardest in overall?

[,,,]

How the heck is I winning?? That game isn't hard unless you make it hard =/ With two fighters in your party you should be able to walk through without even level grinding except around Elfheim. And yes I mean the original version.

The hardest ones I've played were II and VIII. Well, tactics is probably harder except I cheated my ass off with save states. II was hard in terms of trying to get through dungeons while not weakening your mages (I, unfortunately, made two of them in my playthrough) any more than forced to, and you have to dedicate a lot more time grinding (at a certain point), even if you abuse the system. Or maybe it just seemed that way because I found it tedious as hell, I don't know. VIII was hardest in the sense that it was too easy to get myself lost or forget where I was supposed to go after getting wrapped up in triple triad. Plus I found that boss to be the hardest of any FF boss I've faced. Even with Riona's cheating invincible move and using every one of my savestate spaces like they were going out of style, it took me forever to beat that thing.

i remember purposely killing all characters except squall, zell, and irvine, constantly keeping my party up in aura, protect, shell, haste, and only using limits and even then it took me two tries. In order to do all that was a very intense process, even with all the best junctions. I remember using Lionheart after Lionheart on her final form and wondering "when is this ... gonna die?" I would say Ultimecia's up there with the hardest final bosses int he series.

The hardest FF would be FFII, because of the ridiculously high encounter rate, tough monsters, and long dungeons. Not to mention the 64 item limit which I heard applies to the SNES/PS1 version.

Ultimecia is not hard by the way. Let Hell's Judgement reduce your character's HP to 1. Cast Aura and Haste on the entire party. You'll unleash Limit Breaks like you have never done before, and you'll be able to kill Ulti before she even gets another turn. Having only 1 HP will increase the chances of getting the full 8 hits in Renzokuken, more time for Duel, Rinoa using Wishing Star, etc. This strategy works well against Omega WEAPON as well.

Of course, you probably would be able to beat Ulti before she gets another turn either way. She's incredibly slow and I've never seen her use any attacks other than Hell's Judgement and Apocalypse. Not to mention Apocalypse takes time to charge as well.

Yes, you are extremely right PuPu Ulti is easy :P

I mean, when I was facing her final form some of hear attacks did 100 damage to me, it was painful to watch the slaughtering.

[ff is da best]

To me i reckon it was 7 becoz i never really finished it.
the side quest and stuff were kinda hard.
(Btw that was my first ff i ever played.)
every ff after dat was pretty easy.

FFI or FFV, but I'm going to say FFI because some skills (GilToss) make the game ridiculously easy in areas.

Hard and Final Fantasy don't mix...

Anyways, I will say FFXII, since I have the most trouble with it. Sue me if you disagree.
