Who is stronger?

Even if you compare Ultima with adel, it will still kick her arse!

[Ultima Shadow]

Even if you compare Ultima with adel, it will still kick her arse!

That's because Ultima > Omega.

[Neco Arc]

Adel could easily beat Omega Weapon with her freaky look.

[Future Esthar]

I had beat the game hundreds of times.I know that Adel is easier than Omega Weapon.
But there is a logical explanation for that.Adel is in disadvantage in relation to Omega.

[Ryushikaze]

Yes. She's a plot boss. Plot bosses are always easier to beat than optional bosses.

[Future Esthar]

that´s right.

[Qurange]

And as for a storyline explanation...

The party basically jumped Adel while she was still weak--which is why the battle was so easy. She was strong enough before being locked away to take over Esthar, quite possibly on her own. If she weren't still groggy? She'd take Omega, no contest.

(Or you can just say 'plot battle', but. I prefer to have a bit of internal logic aside from that kind of concern.)

Ok, if thats the case. Why is Omega Weapon harder than fighing Ultimecia and Griever in their prime?
But the real point is this: Square put Omega and Ultima Weapon in the game as challenges for their hardcore fans, this is done for almost all the FFs. It adds replay to the game.

[Qurange]

I could mention that Omega was an amalgamation of many monsters through Time Compression, and that he was thus stronger, or that SeeDs are trained primarily to fight Sorceresses, buut...

Mostly, I'm just offering an alterative, internal explanation. Either is valid; it depends on perspective. From an out-of-game perspective, they're special battles put in for greater game challenge, yes. But, I like to be able to explain things without resorting to external things like that, as I like to occasionally roleplay or write fanfic in that setting, so internal consistency just makes that more fun.

[Russielloyd]

There both easy, but Omega can take longer, so Omega is stronger.

[Future Esthar]

You get it Qrange.
There are many explanations.

1-Adels is awakening making her weaker.
2-Her powers were just sealed.
What if by "sealed" the game means "stored in a closed place" instead of just "suppressed"?
The word "sealed" means closed in.

[Ultima Shadow]

She was strong enough before being locked away to take over Esthar, quite possibly on her own.

I'm pretty sure Omega could have taken over or destroyed Esthar just as easily. Omega and Ultima were meant to be the most powerful creatures in the world... and they are.

[Zanius]

Nice one Qurange.

If Adel was fighting at her full power she would stronger than Omega Weapon. When she fought Squall and his group, she wasn't at her full potential.

*Thinks back to FFVIII*
This one has Omega Weapon that can kill you within one move or something like that isn't it?
