Hardest story boss

[Ultima Shadow]

The topic is simple: Who do you think is the hardest in-story boss ever in a FF game?
I think I'll have to go with either Necrophobe or X-Death, both from FFV.

I don't remember who necrophobe wasX.x; And X-death wasn't that hard if you spent the entire time mimicking bahamut

I found Queen Lamia in ff2j to be rather difficult. That or I kept reloading to see her try to seduce Frioniel so many times. . .

I'm confused by the question. Do you mean who's the toughest boss according to storylines, or who is the toughest boss to defeat in gameplay?

The toughest boss to battle in gameplay, ofcourse. The hardest non-optional battle.

Yea, none of the story bosses use to be difficult... but I found Necrophobe and X-Death to be the toughest.

[Rase]

Either Zeromus (FFIV) or Lamia Queen (FFII). Chaos (FFI) can be quite difficult if he happens to use CUR4/Curaja 4 TIMES IN ONE BATTLE!!

[Del Murder]

Probably something from FFV.

[Destai]

From FFV the large spider tank in the N-Zone. I cant think of the name.

Right now, I'll say Evrae (spel?) from Final Fantasy X, the stupid dragon-thingy you battle on the airship. I've been trying for so long to beat it and I am still unsuccessful. Stupid Poison Breath...

[Undecided]

I had considerable problems with the final boss in FFVIII, but I guess it was mostly my fault as I was bored with the game and didn't bother with neither drawing nor leveling for the last two discs.

I actually found X-Death to be one of the simplest end bosses in any FF, though. Just use Coin Toss and watch him scream.

i hated demons gate in FF7!I wasn't strong enough going into temple of the ancients so it took me ages to kill him. Not having any saved files outside temple of the ancients didn't hepl one bit...

Now that you mention it, I remember getting stuck in front of that boss in ff7 too. I had planned on levelling some more, but couldn't get back, and my last save point was like an hour from then-_-

but you just gotta go and whip them sometimes.

[Flamethrower]

Yeah, Demon's Gate was a major pain in the ass, especially the first time I played. After many many tries, I finally lucked out and beat it because Cait Sith rolled a big number with Dice.

[Braindead_Paul]

Twin Tania (FF5) is the only FF-boss I remember taking me more than 2-3 tries.

[Dark Warrior]

X-death of FF5, I remember at least 5 tries,

I could pretend to be all cool, lie, and say a boss that's really, really hard, but honestly, it was Seymour, in his second form, from FFX. I KNOW he's not hard at all, but I just had the worst luck possible when fighting him. I must have done it 15, 20 times---WAY more times than I've ever spent on a boss.

I feel like an idiot now. Thanks a lot Shads.
