Hardest Final Fantasy Boss Ever!

[felfenix]

I've played every numbered Final Fantasy, and then some, and I stated the most appropriate examples I could think of off the top of my head. I didn't say every battle of every fight in every FF had a tutorial, so you can quit hyperventilating. You have to admit, most Final Fantasy fights are direct fights where you can win just by knocking off HP, and for fights that are an not direct, you're usually given hints. Quite obvious hints for anyone with post grade school level reasoning skill.

Saying AV/PW are impossible to defeat and designed to be impossible is just ignorance, especially because you clearly haven't fought and don't comprehend the way many difficult fights in FFXI work. Your responses to my posts have been a waste of time to even look at since you've done nothing but show useless, irrelevant outrage and presenting me with information I'm far more familliar than you with... and acting as if you understand a game you haven't played.

So please, with all your expertise of FF11 what with having never played it, tell me exactly why Absolute Virtue and Pandemonium Warden don't count as difficult bosses? Please link me your evidence that Square Enix is lying when they say they built a trick into those battles for winning. I don't think people zerging a boss and finding out it can't be defeated in a direct manner (just like the Cecil fight) means SE is lying and the boss is impossible. SE's even said the bosses aren't meant to be zerged, but can be beaten.

If you actually play FFXI, you'll realize it's possible to turtle and draw out almost any boss for over 24 hours. There have been many bosses and fights thought impossible, or fights that were thought to never take less than several hours, but now are easy and quick. Hell, Kirin can be defeated in minutes now, and he used to take hours and more or less require kiting.

I Say The created Monsters in FFX and Minerva from FF7CC

Materia Keeper had me when I was a kid, but I soon got past him. That Seymour battle on Gagazet was tough, but I was expecting it (yay for spoilers). I've never really tried to defeat optional bosses, so I can't really comment.

But the two bosses that still have me beat: Adel and Seymour (inside Sin)

I'd be able to beat Adel now if my disc worked, and I'm too lazy to level for Seymour. So they'll be on hold for a while.

If you have Anima, just charge its full Overdrive and you can beat him easily. In fact Anima and the Magus Sisters can generally one shot him and the final boss.

It's so interesting how so many people have such different opinions when it comes to difficult bosses. We all have unique experiences with each game that result in different bosses being the most annoying.

I think I had the most trouble with Seymour Flux in FFX. I also had trouble getting inside Sin, but that's because I was being really stupid. :P

Anyway in FFVII, I didn't have much trouble with any boss, though I remember the battle with Sephiroth's penultimate form taking forever. As for some of the other FFs I've beaten (IV, VI, XII), I sorta kinda cheated. I powerleveled all three of those, so none of the bosses were very hard, though I feel like all three of those games could have been quite difficult had I not powerleveled.

Note: To be fair, I don't think powerleveling helped very much with final bosses -- it just made general gameplay easier.

i haven't had any REAL trouble with story bosses...Ultimicia was a bit of a stubborn b*tch...especially when she summons that thing once you get her health low enough

otherwise, pretty much what everybody else has been saying, Omega weapon from 8 and Ruby weapon from 7 (i found Emerald weapon quite easy, it just took a long time to kill him [which isn't a problem if you have the Underwater materia], but in saying that i kind of cheated...i had a master phoenix summon paired with a master 'final attack' materia, so everytime cloud died, he would summon phoenix and revive my whole party [cos he was usually the last person to die]...then i had Knights of Round [used with W-summon] on cloud and mimic on the others, so i'd do a double cast of mastered KoR, then mimic it with the other two, which is 6 KoR every turn...and even doing that took ages to kill him)

also, although i beat a fair few dark aeons in FFX, i didnt beat them all, and i imagine penance (i think that's its name) would have been quite a challange...anybody to comment on this?
