Most Difficult Superboss

[-JJ-]

Which one would you choose?

For me it would most certainly be Penance from FFX,
It's the only one I have not yet beaten!

The easiest would be Ozma, as not a lot of skill is needed,
Just luck!

[reinward]

lol i actually though ozma was the toughest! his speed is freaking unreal. he seriously attacks like 5 times while my bar was loading :0

i dont have the international version of FFX though and cant be bothered to get all the secret stuff because the minigames are such a pain in the ass

[black orb]

>>> Maybe not the most difficult but these are the Superbosses I just cant beat:
FF5 Omega
FF7 Emerald Weapon
FF8 Omega

I admit I have been lazy with those FF..

FF12 Zodiark was a hard battle too but I beat it in the end.

>>> I have heard that Penance is a tough monster too, but it already fails since it just appears in FFX international version.

[-JJ-]

Yeah, it's kinda lame that the daddy of all the superbosses
only appears on certain versions!

Emerald and Ruby I beat 3-4 years ago, but i used the infamous items glitch to get 99 mega elixers... so when i get ff7 again
i'll beat them without it.

Yiazmat was long... just long, and omega mark xii... only had ONE million !

Omega on ff8 I never knew about until I lost ff8. Shame.

But yeah, if i had to order these HP loving monsters;

1. Penance
2. Yiazmat
3 Ruby Weapon
4. Emerald Weapon
5. (From what i have heard...) Omega from ff8!

I reckon all superbosses are easy once you've either:
a) made the right preparation [e.g. Ozma, FF7 weapons]
b) worked out their patterns [e.g. FF8 Omega]

But I think Penance is the toughest in terms of the time you need to spend making those preparations. You need to beat all the Dark Aeons too, so when you do finally off him, you feel immensely proud of yourself. Ditto Omega Mk. XII. After beating Hell Wyrm and Yiazmat and going through that god damn Giruvegan + Great Crystal dungeon for the third time (once in story, once more for Ultima).

I'm just... shocked.

Penance wasn't in the least difficult for me. I thought it was a very simple battle overall.

Yiazmat is a favorite but generally not difficul until he hits critical HP, then he goes a little psycho.

FFVII, VIII and IX weren't too bad. Challenging, but not on the same level as...

Neo Shinryu from FFV:A. He makes all other super bosses look like fresh turds on the grass. Unfortunatley people still found a pretty decent way to kill him reasonabley fast and efficiently, but without abusing cheap crap (Lionheart, KOTR etc) he certainly takes the crown. I'd just like to brag a little and mention i beat him solo character wopwopwop

Omega from FFV too isn't pretty and far more challenging then most super bosses

[Del Murder]

Penance by far for me. I never really had trouble with the others, besides Neo Shinryu, but he wasn't in the original.

FFV Omega's weakness to lightning made him really easy.

Ah yes, Penance. The Godfather of "Hope You Like Grinding", seeing as every other superboss seems possible with strategy alone.

Once you've made the shell fall off and ascertained you can survive three or four more rounds of its very samey, predictable attack pattern I declare that you are well within your rights to use Zanmato, as I've never fought a boss so woefully repetitive. Thirty minutes of doing the exact same few commands over and over almost make me respect FFXII's gambits. Almost.

I'll go with the ones in FF5; Penance just requires grinding. That's only challenging if your electricity rates are very high.
