I'll take FFV's Omega or IX's Ozma over Yiazmat, Omega Weapon (VIII), anything from X's Coliseum, and Vercingetorix(XIII) because Omega and Ozma are fights where that can be determined in a few rounds.
This. I beat Yiazmat with no special party at all, just my usually equiped party and gambits, no special strategy or whatever required. Yiazmat isn't hard. The biggest challenge about Yiazmat is to not give up because you're so damn bored. It's not a fun fight at all, it's just boring and tedious. It took me three months to beat him, simply because I couldn't bring myself to start hacking away endlessly at his lifebars again. When he finally went down, all I felt was relief that it was over, but no satisfaction. Hell Wyrm was a much more entertaining fight.
