Causality aside, Whis can turn back time for 3 minutes. Freeza destroyed Earth in Ressurrection F and Whis was just like "Goku, do you want another chance? Here, finish him off." There are only a few Final Fantasy characters who have a chance against Dragon Ball characters. By the way, Dragon Ball Ki/Chi consists of three different types of sub-Ki, one of them, the Genki, for example is used for the Genki Dama (Spirit Bomb). I might mention that Babidi, one of the most powerful magicians in the universe used mind control magic against Vegeta and Vegeta resisted with his pride alone so he could profit from being corrupted but not be mind controlled. So, there you go with magic in Dragon Ball. Surely Final Fantasy characters have more powerful magic, but Dragon Ball is also overkill and in the end you cannot really compare them anyway. Another example of how different and powerful those worlds are: X-Death needs magical powers of the void to use interdimensional force. Boo and Gotenks and rip dimensions apart by just shouting a Kiai. They are so different and very often Dragon Ball seems way more overpowered but Final Fantasy villains have those powers that make them real gods in what they are doing (well, Goku and Vegeta are also gods now and Beerus and Whis also are but I mean different kinds of of gods of a natural force in case of Final Fantasy).
I see. You have a good point there. But if I have to say, I think the magic in the DB universe is far more easier to use or at least to get access to than it is in the FFverse. While Buu was able to tear apart dimensions just by screaming, it was a simple fact he was already a magic based being to begin with. So fighting him would've the equivalent of fighting a final boss or partially god of magic. Though Whis can remind time, Ultimecia can compress and destroy it, along with all of existence itself. Whis may or may not be able to do this. And I think anyone can resist Mind control. It's really not that hard to break it if someone has the willpower and mind to resist it. Even Onion Knight could resist Babidi's mind control if he has that will. Yes, Ex-Death had to get control and use magic to manipulate the Void and use to turn any dimension into a death land but that alone may put him on par with Buu. They just have different means of accessing their powers. When you think about it. Both series intepretation of magic is overkill. But I have say with FF and things such as Gods that eat entire universes, instant death magic, star and galaxy busting magic, and magic that manipulates the very fabric of space time itself and uses it against you may just be a tad more overkill than DB. Though Whis and Beerus may have the potential to do such things too, but I have yet to see them create a black hole from nothingness and use it to destroy everything. If you had to rate any Final Fantasy villain's power level then Ultimecia and Ex-Death are definitely going to be at the top.
