A game is only as good as the challenge it poses. Final Fantasy stays true to this by spitting out a wide array of enemy bosses and boss fights that keep players on their toes. The FF series is known to imbue hefty challenges for players, especially once they finish the main storyline. The best part is that these bosses are so distinct in their character, weapons, and dialogues that they enjoy an iconic status in future comic-cons. Sephiroth, for example, is a common boss name nowadays and the baddie has found a home in franchises other than Final Fantasy, such as Smash Bros!
Because the game is so expansive and has a great deal of detail inside, the memory it loads up is pretty high as well. Final Fantasy games can go up to a whopping 100 GB and players might spend days trying to download a singular game. To skip such a headache, consider setting yourself up with AT&T.
This telecommunications service provider enjoys an overarching presence in 21 states of the U.S. and caters to speeding up download times. Look up your area on the AT&T fiber availability map and waste no time in availing the best gateway to a lag-free gaming experience. You need only worry about your next boss fight, not how much time it’s going to make loading up one.
List of Top 5 Hardest Bosses in the Final Fantasy series
Speaking of boss fights, we’ve compiled some of the juiciest ones so come along and let’s dissect them down below!
1. Seymour Flux (FFX)
Talk about a governing leader who looks good but eventually turns into a shapeshifting dragon-lizard. Seymour Flux is shown as a benevolent, often oblivious, leader from the start of Final Fantasy X but after being made subject to Sin’s influence, turns into a monster. His signature attack, Total Annihilation stays true to its name because if parties aren’t strong enough, it’ll definitely wipe them out in one blow.
To make matters worse, Limit Breaks don’t work against him and his basic attack & defense stats are extremely high. To make sure you don’t go into a rage quit in record time, we recommend preemptively setting your Aeons into full Overdrive before the battle starts.
2. Omega Weapon (FFVIII)
A classic recurring boss in the FF franchise. Omega Weapon serves as the perfect adversary to test players’ skills after they’ve completed the main game. In FFVIII, Omega Weapon’s stats are punched to the max making it a level 100 fiend with over one million HP. Meaning you can say goodbye to multiple hours of your life as you try to take this nasty down.
Its Gravija spell is a formidable attack that drains the party of 75% of their health. Players have to be awry of their health during the battle because Omega Weapon keeps pestering player stats with game-changing moves. Be sure to bring plenty of Megalixirs to this rodeo!
3. Necron (FFIX)
We saved you the trouble of finding out the meaning of the name; it literally translates to death in the FF universe. Necron is the final boss in FFIX and has eye-watering states. Though, if you are going to call a character the embodiment of death, you would want to make it an absolute monster. So it’s justified. Kind of. Necron has a slew of vicious attacks that he unleashes in a flurry the more time is spent on the battle.
He also has the ability to heal himself mid-battle and make you cry as you watch his big health bar regain numbers. His final attack, The Grand Cross can end the entire party in one blow so make sure to keep plenty of Phoenix Downs because the time will come when you will need them. Alternatively, players can equip a white mage with the ability auto-life for prompt resurrections.
4. Absolute Virtue (FFXI)
Deemed the strongest boss fight to ever exist in the Final Fantasy series, Absolute Virtue is a pain in the neck and all manner of extremities for those brave enough to battle it. Beating this boss demands players to be at least level 80 and level 99 if they want to take regular breaths while the battle is going on. Absolute Virtue was such a menace that Square Enix had to patch the game and water down this boss specifically so players could stand a chance.
5. Ozma (FFIX)
Giant colorful blobs are meant to be anything but a nasty super boss. Ozma is a rainbow-themed blob that can be fought post-completion. It changes its attacks according to the player’s party composition. Its healing process is a fancy counterattack that it uses repetitively to piss players off. Ozma also limits the amount of attacks the player can dish out in one go. This works out in its favor because the longer the battle goes on, the stronger Ozma gets. Think of this fight as a time trial.
Conclusion
That’s a wrap on our selection of the top baddies from the Final Fantasy games. We may have left out one or two of the biggest super bosses but that’s because the aforementioned ones are hidden gems that deserve equal attention. At least, that’s what we think.
