The Scariest Weapon Monster

[Midgar Mist]

Out of the ones played, I've always found Emerald Weapon of FF7 to be the scariest. He just looks sooooo creepy.

Happily exploring underwater with that great music......then this big green thing that looks like it has an exhaust pipe comes into view. Eeeep!

Getting the Ancient's Key and turning to go......arrrgh! there it is again!

Leaving the sunken Gelnika after some successful plundering......ahhhhhh! this damn things following me! mayday! mayday!

I naively went into battle with him as a newbie.....and getting slaughtered so quickly...the mental scars have never healed (sniff)

How about you....which FF Weapon scares you the most? Visually, or battle wise?

Emerald is pretty scary when trying to do the Gelinka stuff and you need to avoid him, course the original Omega in FFV was also a nightmare about this. In terms of the most intimidating Weapon design, probably Ultima Weapon from FFVI or XIV.

Running into Warmech in FF1. He has a chance to be the random battle in every fight on the bridge to Tiamat. There's no avoiding the area, or singling him out for destruction. You just have to cross the bridge and hold your breath every time you go into battle, hoping it's not him. It's not too bad at high levels, but can kill a party in the low twenties pretty quick.

I'd probably agree if my only two encounters with him involved the poor thing running into my well trained and armed party, so I've yet to experience the terror he is suppose to bring. Same thing with the Iron Giant in FFII.

Omega Weapon for the win. He is the end of all things. To truly save the world you can beat the final boss, but to make sure it never ends you have to kill Omega.

[Vermachtnis]

Does Angra Mainyu count? It fills the role of a weapon and is one of the creepiest designed monsters of the 3D games.

If not, I'm also going to say Emerald. I can not count how many times I left the Gelnika just to start a battle with that. It made me very jittery.

I agree with you!
Omega Weapon is a truly terrifying being and I wish he could be a final boss instead of this really lame Yu Yevon...

[Bubba]

Yeah, I'm gonna go with Emerald Weapon too. Just for the times when I'd submerge the submarine and realise I haven't saved for a while. You're then just hoping he doesn't appear right in front of you. If he does you genuinely nearly trout yourself.

Holy trout, Ultima Weapon on the Flying Continent gave me nightmares for weeks I mean, the design is one thing, but the fact that it was just such a difficulty spike really made me sweat!

I have to give this one to Emerald. I'm pretty sure the first time I saw it I ran straight into it, expecting some simple optional fight. I then spent the rest of my time underwater convinced it was stalking me.

Oh, it was.

Which is probably why I'm voting for it as well.

Emerald was the only one to have an intimidating presence outside of the battle screen. Every other boss tends to just sit there in one place (like Omega in FFVIII), or just be a random encounter. Emerald wasn't. He was waiting, lurking, hunting... Always around the corner. Always ready to toast you. And, if you hit him accidentally, you were dead. When you first fight him, you'd be fighting, and be being beaten, but holding on, just trying to keep going before that time limit completed (even though you had no idea how long of a fight it was, because, let's face it, no one wastes time with Sense), and then... Aire Tam Storm.

Ruby. Idk it just looks so intimidating. as it towers over you. and defeats you without trying.

I have a finely honed instinct so the second I see him I resurface. Go back down and he's gone.

I agree with you!

Sure Yu Yevon is lame, but its fun watching some beetle like creature try to heal itself, but it can't if its zombified! The really lame one is the one before, especially if you've nabbed all the extra aeons.


Ive never seen Omega Weapon up close...just the cut scene of the back of him. I only use the first bit of that dungeon to level up. Those random battles can wipe me out.....and those Grand Malboro's....yeesh....I don't get anywhere near him.

Im glad I didn't spend a lot of time on that floating continent then.

Theres only 1 atma.

well... theres another, locked away in prison.

I disagree with you! Braska's Final Aeon is actually more challenging and his desing (along with the song) is way better than this of really lame Yu Yevon!
