Thanks to different kinds of equipment, magics and summons, there's only a very few attacks that means instant-kill for your entire party... and then there's also Life3 which helps out a lot in those situations too.

There's only 3 battles that's really, really REALLY hard. First Ultros, The sky battle before the floating continent and the final Kefka.
