Hardest Superbosses

I found this site while being in a slight rage over Ozma, and by slight, I mean controller smashing worthy.

Who do you think is the hardest of the superbosses? As ridiculous as Ozma is, I still think that Omega Weapon takes the cake from VIII. Freaking brutal moveset.

Omega (VIII) is certainly difficult, but the game gives you the tools to make it very easy in the form of Holy Wars and Heroes.

Does Yiazmat (XII) count as a superboss? I know Zodiark hits harder, especially at low HP, but the sheer HP of Yiazmat makes it an epic battle. I think it took me six hours or so with a level 60 party, and I felt like I was on the verge of death many times. For comparison, I beat Ozma on my second try with a similarly-levelled party, and the time I spent in both attempts only amounted to 10 or 15 minutes.

Yiazmat is certainly worthy of being a superboss. Ridiculous HP and the ability to regenerate? It was a test of freaking endurance XD

I've seen people complain about Ozma's difficulty since FFIX came out, and I've never died against it. I don't get it. Completing the friendly monster side quest makes him vulnerable to shadow, the good gear absorbs shadow damage (so doomsday can't hurt you) and then you just need to make sure you equip the right abilities to avoid certain status effects.

Yiazmat is probably up there, purely because it requires sheer will to get through. And it's immensely satisfying to complete.

This is a good question. Seems like the "newer" games give you ways to do them fairly easily. (by newer I mean everything on and after the PS1).

I think the hardest might still be WarMech from FF1 (at least in the original NES version). More HP than Chaos, no elemental weakness, and limited number of healing casts... yeah fuck that fight.
