Even though they weren't in the first few iterations of the main Final Fantasy games, super bosses are now very much part of the overall experience and many have become legendary in their own right.
Even Final Fantasy XV, had the Adamantoise included as its default super boss, with more being added via the Royal Edition... but there are some super bosses that are way tougher than others!
For this particular video, we're going to highlight some of the hardest super bosses from the main Final Fantasy games, and we've got an interesting mix of fights, even including some MMOs!
Hopefully you enjoy the list!

    What's funny is that even on the DS game FFXII revenant's wings, Yiazmat is broken aswell, immune to everything but slow, inflicting stop with each AOE BREATH attack and eventually inflicting coma to anyone (100%) with Death Strike... If you don't have anti-stop gear for the fight it you're so screwed. Not to mention he's supported by Golems and healing Carbuncles spawning continually out of nowhere, pure hell. The true final boss of the game

    Benediction wasn't just a significant amount, it was all of your HP. The problem with the initial "Wall of Justice" exploit was that it was discovered by NA players who got no drops, and were punished by the GMs for it if I recall correctly, before being used by JP players who got all of the drops and no punishment to boot. At least for NA players, the toughest boss of FFXI were the extremely biased GMs in charge of the game.

    It was discovered by LS called Apathy on Remora (My server as well), I also don't think they got there items taken away. Seems like I remember Papy had an item from it. Absolute Virtue was just dumb tho. I also think I remember they some LS used the whiff masters Dark Knights souleater ability to beat it and I think here was another that kited to some spot and beat it. All three got nerfed. Still, not as dumb as the artifact weapons from dynamis.

    It is the most luck heavy fight in the list, powerful enough first timers can defeat it if RNGesus wills it. On the oposite end shitty enough RNG can end a perfectly prepared party just as well. It comes down to retrying it until jackpot is rolled, better preparation does significantly increase chances though.

    Emerald Weapon in FF7, what a fight back then. I was at a friends house and we hatched plan after plan on how to defeat this thing within the time limit. One time, after many tries, we landed the final blow 5 seconds before the end. We yelled and cheered...until we realized the death animation was so long that we still drowned. We were so damn pissed. Many tries and different tactics later we finally did it and beat him within the time limit. What a great feeling! Fast forward some weeks, my buddy approached me one day and said "Hey, i just heard from someone that you can get an underwater materia that stops the timer for the fight..." DOHHHH 😅

I kill Ozma before completing the friendly quest. Steiner and Freya will be the main damage dealer with Shock+Dragon Crest (Shock deal 9999 and Dragon Crest deal depending on how many dragon you killed ignoring defense) while Zidane is busy stealing until he's done. Quina is your heart and soul in this because Quina Magic Hammer+Angel's Snack will force Ozma to waste turn to cast Curse. If Ozma had his MP low enough, he will start waste turn to Absorb MP instead of casting shit like Meteor or Doomsday. I got him into a loop long enough for him just use MP Absorb and Curse.

He might cast it later though so you'll want to hit em with quandra magic-hades to poison and paralyze him followed by slow for the rest of the match. Hit him with that before using KOTR that way he won't be able to counter with Ultima. Makes that whole fight way easier.

    Sure, but almost everything in a videogame is hard if you are unprepared. Even normal bosses can beat you if you are underleveled/equipped/etc and not exploiting some broken mechanic. And while its true that back in the day when the internet was still a wee lad, and not owned by everyone, being prepared for such superbosses were virtually impossible without putting out money for a strategy guide. But nowadays only people who just don't WANT to be prepared are unprepared for superbosses. There's just no reason not to be, except as mentioned, people who are actively against it. And if being prepared makes them go from "Super boss" to "Super chore" then they really aren't THAT hard. Unless they have RNG involved, and if a game needs to rely on RNG to be challenging, then its a poorly designed fight that isn't there to make you feel rewarded, but frustrated.

    Emerald has an attack that deals 1111 damage per materia a character has equipped. So a character with 9999HP and 2 materia equiped would suffer 2222 damage, leading to a remaining 7777HP. Maybe that's what happened - although it's unlikely that Cloud would only have 2 materia equipped, unless this was intentional.

It didn't even have loot. It was only made 'killable' after a bunch of NA players used an exploit to not die to its attacks and reduce its enormous pool of HP to zero after a war of attrition. When the devs found this out, they changed AV in both NA and JP servers to have loot drops, but the ones who first managed to kill it had their accounts suspended for a while and their rewards from the raid where they did the deed revoked.

    Loved this video. I don't think I fought any of these bosses except Penance. I had to beat it for the trophy. There is a super boss in FF13 named Vercingetorix which does require a very specific strategy to beat and has 15,840,000 HP. One wrong move and it's game over and you have to restart. There is also some tough bosses in FF13 Lightning Returns. One in particular, Aeronite, if fought under certain conditions, it can reach 57,750,000 HP, which is the highest potential HP of any FF boss. Tho even if you don't have the conditions that makes him his strongest, he's still tough even on normal mode with 11,000,000 HP and hard mode with 38,500,000 HP. I don't even wanna talk about the final boss of the game if you play on NG+. He has multiple different stages with different HP bars on normal and hard. On hard mode, his HP triples and his attack changes and actually becomes more aggressive, using more powerful spells and takes a more specific strategy to take down then before. There was a few in FFX-2.. Trema and Angra Mainyu. Also some tough ones in FF15. Too many to name. Haha. Just a few to mention from my play experience. Great video. I was surprised you didn't mention FF7, but I suppose you mentioned those bosses before already. Haha.

It tooke me about 100 tries when I was child and a very lucky run, but it was satisfying nonertheless. And yes the most difficul is Penance all the way, true.

    The Omega Weapon was not introduced until the GBA version of the game actually after defeating Kaiser Dragon, what you're thinking of is the Ultima Buster actually, which is more implied to be a copy of Ultima Weapon. However, the idea of the Weapon moniker wasn't technically introduced until FFVII, with the Ultima Weapon of FFVI being tied more to the fact it is the brother of the Ultima Weapon sword found in the game that was created during the War of the Magi.

    You're both wrong. the weapon's introduction was actually FF5. It wasn't called by 'omega weapon' but its theme is always there. The bosses names are versions of 'the first// the last" and that's not changed other than adding the word weapon after it. Also, FF5 started the trend for it's story. Omega is so powerful a weapon (literally said in the game) that it had to be sealed in the rift. FF6 it was a weapon made in the war of the magi that it had to be sealed between the gate of the espers and humans. FF7 it had to be sealed to defend the planet in times of crisis. (okay, so not because it was so powerful). ff8 despite everything the scientists did to powerful creatures like Bahamut, it was Ultima Weapon that made them all flea and force them to lock the building down to prevent its escape. Ff9 didn't have it... ff10 finally deviated by just having it somehow being formed in the place that would essentially have kept it sealed and had no external influence.

    I found Omega Mk XII far harder than Yiazmat. Yiazmat takes a while (took me around 6 hours) but has no real nasty surprises you haven't seen before apart from if it manages to get restore off. Omega Mk XII has much less health but hits *very* hard. It can easily wipe you before you even get into melee range due to the sheer damage and range of it's attacks. Not to mention if you wipe to it you have to traverse a fairly annoying maze every time to get back to the fight. A few notes on Absolute Virtue. One thing which made the fight so awful was it's combining of 2 hour abilities. Notably Chainspell (remove cast time and recast time for your spells) + Manafont (All spell costs reduced to 0) which would then be followed up by rapid fire Meteor. AV was also reportedly designed to be unbeatable. Some devs have said since it was supposed to be symbolic "bad luck" for players (It used to only have a low chance of spawning when you killed the Jailer of Love) because you were slaying virtues to obtain sins. I find it kind of funny that when AV was taken down using an exploit the devs called foul but when Pandemonium Warden was first taken down using an exploit the devs allowed it and celebrated it's first defeat.

  • @mlburkh

    May not have known this, but there was more depth to the Absolute Virtue than mentioned here.He would do party limit bursts in a certain rotation. EG: Dragon 2hr summon pet (In this case like a dozen) Then Summoner 2hr (All pets limit burst) Then Ninja 2hr Mijin Gakura (All pets self destruct). While the abilities were 2 hr for a player, He would activate one part of a cycle every 30 seconds. And he was very capable of revisiting cycles. If he was seen using a 2hr a class with the same 2hr could quickly activate their own, and this would cause AVs 2hr to become locked for the rest of the fight. So a White Mage could prevent him from fully recovering HP after his first use if he or she activated his or hers in succession. Also fun trivia, when summoner got Alexander as an optional summon AV became much much easier. Giving you're party a minute long 90% damage reduction with ailment immunity is godsend. Your party has 0 concerns and you can just zerg the boss down.

    Ruby Weapon from FF7 was definitely not beaten on the first go. By anyone in the world. Because we all wondered what that red blob was in the desert around Gold Saucer Casino, and went and foolishly touched it. Surprise! Ruby Weapon. And if that wasn't bad enough, we soon found out the bastard was impossible to beat due to his insane high defense (480!) and that fucking whirlpool attack. Unless you utilized the old "Unleveled Materia trick", you didn't stand a cat in hell's chance no matter how high level you were. Seriously, this red machine was the biggest dick move ever thrown out by Square.

Then he gets rid of all but 1 of your party, has high def, and loves counter certain attacks w/ Ultima. And then you finally do beat him and what'd win a crappy gold chocobo which if you're like me you probably already have at that point from breeding which is way faster than the one you won.

    Absolute Virtue and Pandmonium Warden from XI are unarguably the hardest bosses from any FF. Not only were they hard but it took an insane amount of time and effort to get all the items to make them spawn. It's my absolute favorite game of all time but, wow, that game was easily the most difficult game I've ever played. It took forever to level up and if you died you lost exp and you could actually level down, the best weapons (called relic, mythic, and empyrean weapons) took people YEARS to farm enough materials to make, and you just couldn't do much of anything without a group of people. I guess it's difficulty is what made it so fun though

    Omega is super slow compared to your party so having a party consisting of characters who's limits can break the damage limit makes the fight honestly pretty easy as you doing around 100k damage a round and your atb fills up in less than a second with a high speed stat and he gets a turn for every 3 of yours. Emerald can be a bitch to deal with if you over load on materia and and his airetam cannon goes off, but you only need like 5 materia to beat him. Ruby might be the easiest super boss in the series as W summon hades + KotR will inflict paralysis and Hp absorbs basically assures youll stay at full health the entire fight

    All I remember about Ozma was killing it very quickly and thinking "That's it?!" As with any RPG, I had grinded the hell out of everyone early in the game. Specifically at that one plateau with the difficult enemies, reachable from an alternate exit of a cave. Dragons and bird things which google says were "Grand Dragon" and "Garuda". While grinding I also made sure everyone learned every skill from every piece of equipment I found or bought, and kept that process going through the whole game. Killing all those dragons also maxed out one of Freya's abilities so it pretty much always did 9999 to everything. Quina's abilities were also very useful. I defeated Ozma in just a few turns with what seemed like no resistance. Some people like to struggle through RPGs at a normal or quick pace, always just a bit under-powered and under-equipped, using all that buff/debuff/status crap to beat harder enemies strategically. Too easily bored to put in the time, or to make things feel more "plausible" I guess? To hell with that, I like to invest some time early on so I can plow through enemies and focus on exploration and story without being interrupted too much by random encounters. Ozma was weird in that sense because usually even a maxed out party can't just stomp a super boss that easily. As a result, I would have swapped Emerald Weapon for Ozma in this list. Can't comment on the ones in FF10 and FF12 as I only played each for a very short time, or the ones in the online games as I'm not interested in playing those at all.

    Detail to point out: due to the presence of Cheer, Focus, Protect, etc, in FFX, the dark aeons, internally, are not limited by the damage cap.

    FF9's difficulty hinges on 2 things. The first is Status Effects, which can be negated with Abilities...but you have to know what you need to block. The second is instant death, since there is no way to negate that true death outside of RNG. God forbid you fight an enemy with Death lvl 5 and all ur characters just happen to be a level that ends in 5 or 0. Besides that the game is incredibly easy, especially with Auto-Regen + Concentrate Summons. Oh you knocked all my guys to 1 health? Well let me summon Ark while Auto-Regen heals us back up to full.

Imagine playing another 8 hours if you didn't get the syphon off and he healed himself up. I didn't play FF11 but I assume they didn't expect people to sit at their computer focused on the enemy that long. They probably considered it'd be an enemy people would micro manage with various groups taking fighting and disbanding while other people fought it ongoing and to gather everyone at the end to finish it off when it was close to dead. It doesn't seem like an enemy they meant for people to sit their for 24 hours to fight
