Either
a) You're trying to wind us up.
b) You're a spastard.

'Spastard' has got to be one of the coolest neologisms ever. Can I have it?
[q=RikkuYuna89]Ooo... I never used The end before... does it look good?[/q]The End is kind of cutesy... but nice. Let's just say that it's 'distinctly Selphie', and it uses one of the game's most popular thematic elements.

Which is why they sucked so much. Everything was overly powerful and through off the balance of the game even more than it already was.

the only boss i found hard was iferit....... i mean....omega

omega was the hardest boss in that game even though he was kinda easy. it only took me 4 times to beat him.

All battles in FF8 are easy if you have holy ways (I don't have any! Where do you get them!?) or in my case Invincible Moon. Also mighty guard helps alot! I need all the auras I can get.

you get 10 holy wars from moding the gilgamesh card. you get the gilgamesh card from the card king in the CC sidequest.

Yeh I guess that's true. Although it was nice to play with a rediculously hard party just for fun.

Omega yep, He was tough as hell the first 3 times i tried out on him, but then i just turned my cards into items and got my main three characters stats almost to the fullest(Squall,Irvine,Rinoa-due to they all have continuess hit limit breaks) and i just keep on using that hero judgement thingy that makes me invinsible(or invisible) then he couldnt hit me most of the time, untill it wore off, I died alot cause i had to use aura when the Hero judgement thingy wore off cause it wont work when its on...same with healing...it was a long 13 minute fight but all worth it to see omega fall.

Ive played the game a LOT of times and i personally think that arguing is ridiculous Omega Weapon, hands down i dont think theres anyone who can beat him without holy wars, yet I beat all the ultimecias with lvls. 80,69,72,40,20,15... the numbers speak for themselves, yet i was unable to defeat the Omega with top lvls. and the BEST weapons, and magic...

[Prodigy]

Dude, Omega falls on his fat useless ass in a couple of minutes if you do it right. I didn't use holy wars/heroes - it was a piece of p*ss.

All you need is to junction carefully, auto-haste helps and you're away. I didn't even use the pheonix item which summons him (useful if you wanna survive terra break). Simply have quistis cast mighty card and aura on zell/squall (if mighty guard doesn't do that) and then hit away. Zell can do something insane like 500,000 damage if you get the full time limit. Squall can do 250,000 if he pulls of lionheart. Only take a few hits if you get lucky. If you get hit a couple of times then with aura+low health then you're a lot more likely to do big damage.

Easy.

Still the hardest boss though.

I've not yet fought Omega Weapon, but I know what he's all about and his ass is mine! *rubs hands in anticipation*

Squall's Lionheart limit is stupidly powerful! It's saved in many situations, namely facing Ultima Weapon. It's first attack was a Light Pillar on Rinoa, it's second attack was a Light Pillar on Zell, it used Meteor on Squall, then I cast Aura, then it took two swipes at Squall with it's Weapon.

Thank god I had Auto-Protect! With barely enough HP left, I completed a successful Renzokuken followed by a Lionheart......

Renzokuken + Lionheart = one minced Ultima Weapon

So yes, so far Ultima Weapon has proved my hardest fight.....but I need Holy Wars! How the hell do I get 'em? :O_O:

[Raiden]

How come Sir Norg isn't in this poll???

Not fair.

(SPOILER)Refine them from the Gilgamesh card, won from Cardmaster King in the CC group. Or refine them from Heroes, which can either be stolen in miniscule quantities from Seifer (at high levels), or else refined from Laguna's card.

[xSiLeNtStArx]

I think that Omega was hardest. Ultimecia(all forms) was easy compared to Omega. O_o For some reason my Lionheart wasn't coming up all that often...even though all my characters were in critical HP... Oh well, I still beat it after trying many times.

[fallen_cloud]

Omega Weapon is extremely hard to beat, especially if you don't have any heroes or holy wars. But it can't be done, as I pulled it off. All you really need are the best weapons, some pheonix pinions, a crap load of recovery magic, and the best weapons. Teaching Angelo Invicible Moon helps too.

[Zenshen]

Ah, Big D! Thanks for the help!

Only problem is.....I bloody hate the card game! Argh! I'm just no good at it, so if I do want Holy Wars, it looks I'm gunna need to get good at cards....quickly.....
