The seven most difficult boss battles in the Final Fantasy series

[Lex]

I feel like I've inhaled some crack here. How the fuck is Materia Keeper there instead of Demon's Gate? Carry Armour I'm alright with but seriously Materia Keeper has nothing on Demon's Gate.

What the actual chuff is going on

I know, but them's the votes...

I do have the discretion to change the seven that go into the article if nobody puts forward convincing explanations. So if you feel strongly about another boss, like Demons Gate, feel free to say why

I had to exclude four of the seven bosses I originally mentioned because I couldn't find any decent explanations for why they were difficult in this thread. This shouldn't come as a surprise, as I mentioned it in my very first post:

I'm not going to use the number of nominations as the sole criterion for inclusion on the final list, because that would lead to a list that is very skewed towards the latter half of the series. Instead, I hope you'll try to explain what makes your chosen bosses so difficult, which will also give me some good quotes to use in the article.

Some of the nominations were justified with "I was young and stupid when I first played it", which is fair enough, but I didn't consider that a good enough reason to include in the article.

Anyway, it's published now. Finally. I know it took far too long, but I still wanted to get it out there, because that's what dependable Community Managers do. Go find out which seven bosses did make it.

(Side note: I'm aware the title takes up three lines on the front page, as it stands. I can't think of an acceptable alternative, though.)

Guff, Yunalesca's freaking terrifying.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

A good list of choices, well written. Cases could certainly be made for others, but no list of only seven could be definitive.

 

[Claymore]

Great job. That was a nice article and loved the videos.

 

[Kuja9001]

Expected Barthandelus.

 

[Lex]

Nicely done

Not sure where to post this, but in the article that came from this thread, I was misattributed for somebody else's comment on Yunalesca. I figured something was off when there was a reference to a game I haven't played yet, lol.

My bad, that was Yuri Lowell. You did say this though:

Yunalesca from FFX has already been extensively recommended and rightly so. The first two forms are pushovers even at low levels but dat last form. MegaDeath man... thats not cool.

Oh yeah, lol. I was referring to the Seath the Scaless comment. I had no idea who that was until I looked it up.

Just wanted to make sure the right person got credit.
