Thread: Hardest story boss

    Yesterday I changed my mind. My new hardest bosses are Ahriman and Dark Cloud (FF3). I was just too stupid to get prepared properly and couldn't go back to any shops etc.

    No problem.

    But it's nothing to be embraced about. Seymour is even harder than the Imps in FF4!

    Hardest story boss, huh? I think I'll say the first time around with X-Death. After about a big # of tries I came up with the great strategy of (SPOILER) Just leaving Lenna under zombie while she had the cure staff on, thus giving me a constant supply of hp with little need to cure myself. Once I did this, I beat him after only a few more tries.

    Pretty much all FF bosses can be trampled with adequate vertical strength(levels). And they're pretty much all moderately-insanely difficult with inadequate vertical strength. Which is the crux of FF's problem IMO, difficulty. There isn't a single boss that can't be defeated easily by leveling to 99. Besides Uber extraneous bosses like Emerald Weapon or any of the insane bosses like Cactuar King in FFX that you fight in the "corral", but even those can be slaughtered with careful horrizontal growth(maxed spheres, materia, etc)
    Most of the FFT bosses k.i.c.k.e.d. m.y. a.s.s. the first time i fought them, b/c i was always ill-prepared, especially the Elmdor fight; I remember I was so excited when I killed Lede and Celia at the same time w/ a well timed bahamut(I think, Ramza was a smn at the time, mighta been another summon) but then....ultima demons....>_< dammitall!!!

    I think I'll have to go with either Necrophobe or X-Death, both from FFV.
    Necrophobe is actually an optional boss fight. You don't need to fight him unless you want a save point in the Cleft of Dimension.

    Regardless, Neo-Exdeath is the toughest. I never found any ribbons, so Grand Cross messed me up every time.

    Oh, yea... I completely forgot that! But that save-point is almost too usefull to be considered optional...

    I must be the only idiot who finds Trance Kuja to be next to impossible.

    I really suck at battles.

    Ultimecia: I had to fight her 10 times before I finally defeated the fiend.

    Ultimecia......I had to refine Bahamut's card into 100 megalixers, that was the only way I could beat her. After I had all those lovely 'lixers, she was a piece of cake. Well, until she started blowing away the magic junctioned to my health...... :sweatdrop

    Exactly the two who I was going to mention, except that...
    Ahriman is an optional boss!!!!!!!!!

    Other than Dark Cloud, or a great deal of other the near impossibles from FFIII, the answer probably lies somewhere in the more wicked dungeons of FFIV. (I had a miserable time with that game)

    Really? I thought you couldn't beat Dark Cloud without the four Dark Warriors?

    Are you positive? I think I remember a long, difficult battle with the bastard, (Which I expect I won) and I did it without the dark warriors the first time because I couldn't stand that same Ahriman punk.

    But maybe I'm wrong.
    Maybe I lost that battle, and every one of it's kind and only won the one that had the Dark Warrior involvement.
    I thought that they were only helpful, and not imperative.

    If I am wrong, then please accept my most extroardinary, sincere, and rather poetic apologies.
