I'll do another play through after I beat the inevitably easier final boss to get better gear and stats. Oh crap, I can't do a lick of damage."

So, maybe I'm just getting older, and can't adapt to this (difficult to me) battle system, but I find this to be the hardest final boss in a Final Fantasy I've ever walked into as close to fully garbed as possible. (No Ultimatum garb or Falcon Charm) So, here's my question. Which of these games that I consider to be main series had the hardest final boss for you.
Eh, the Ultimatus garb isn't even that good. The Falcon Charm is a great accessory, but Ultimatus (and the resident ability, Ultima) is just not that good in this game. Any ability that is 'more damaging the more you are hurt' is iffy, at best.

Good garbs in this game include Soldier of Peace (for spamming Artemis Arrows)and Splendid Admiral (for Transform Bravery).

I found Bhunivelze to be tricksy, to honest. Aeronite and Ereshkigal are both annoyingly hard bosses. Really, all of the 'bonus' bosses of Lightning Returns are just hard​.
