[@arrogantbliss]

Man, I thought that Rufus Shinra of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was a really tough boss. The dude had a counter for everything and the only opening he had was during his “reload” animation which was a really small window.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

Yes! And then he brings out Darkstar. I learned in that battle (reading up a guide for the fight) that I had the energy wave with my sword, a move I NEVER knew I had before then, and so by rolling and then pressing square, you could hit him with non-elemental magic. It did little to no damage, but increasednyour ATB guage. Darkstar thankfully had more weaknesses, so I was able to take him out after like my third attempt at the fight (where I lived long enough for Darkstar to even come out, that is). The game cruelly makes you do that fight with NO chance to heal right after fighting Elena and Rude (and yes, I know about the square button at the bottom-left corner during cutscenes that you can press and hold to signal you want to change your materia and whatnot. None is given for Rufus' fight). As I initially ended that fight with low HP and MP and had to spend a lot of time on defense, I finally had to just give up and redo the Elena and Rufus battle all over again, this time making Tifa and Aerith use their magic instead of Cloud, and using an elemental materia on Cloid's sword to pull back on how much magic I had to do. I think I gave lightning magic to Cloud and used the second elemental materia for Tifa to handle Rude. I had hoped he would treat her as he did in Remake, his crush on her making him reluctant to hurt her, but nope! 😂. I see business comes before women now for him, lol. Or maybe that was Aerith he was gentle with...either way, neither of them got any mercy.

[@kevinburke1325]

The Chadley brutal and legendary challenges are the hardest ever. Way harder than Rufus.

[@necroarcanistxiii]

I remember my Yiazmat run on the original version of XII for PS2. It took 8 hours, max level, Vaan with Zodiac Spear, Basch with the Scorpiontail and Zodiac Escutcheon, Fran with Sagittarius and Artemis Arrows, Balthier with the Fomalhaut and Dark Shot, Ashe with the Masamune and Penelo with the Yagyu Darkblade as Yiaz is weak to Dark. I usually had her maining Greatswords and wanted to give her the Wyrmhero Blade. Everyone used Bubble Belts to increase their health, spammed Expose to lower his defence early on, equipped the strongest armours I could purchase, but kept 3 Windbreakers on hand for when he started charging his bloody cyclone attack. I did run out once to recover after nearly getting wiped when he started inflicting Death with his combo attacks, and started using Decoy+Reverse to carry once he limited damage to 6999. I kept a Dispelling eye out for him using Regen and was wary to use Curaga over Full-Cure in case he tried to Reflect it onto himself. I don't know how I'll go with the Zodiac Job version, as I want to do a challenge playthrough trying to mimic each character's playstyles and job skills from Revenant Wings, so Vaan will be using swords, Penelo staves as a White Mage, Basch axes and shields, Fran and Balthier as Archer and Gunner, and Ashe tossing bombs as a Time Mage.

[@Kiridiana]

Hes still just as hard just doesnt take as long due to the x4 speed u can put the game into. Defo worth playing zodiac age though. i killed him just using Vaan/Basch as damage and Ashe as a healer took me about an hr

[@necroarcanistxiii]

@@Kiridiana I used everyone, but swapped in when someone died and revived them off-screen. I've seen a speedrun of under 50 minutes in real time, Zodiac seems to be insanely OP when you grind and RNG manipulate for the best stuff, but I do not have the patience or the gummy bears to handle that. I grinded for stuff in the original FF12 until my playtime was 210 hours, and that was just to complete the Sky Pirate's Den. I'm close to cracking a code for the Revenant Wings challenge run, as true to the spirit, each character will only be using what weapons and armour they can use in RW that exist in Zodiac. The hardest part is figuring out X Job for Y License for Z equipment, and then figuring out which Licenses are locked behind which Esper, which I only need Mateus for Ashe to get the Volcano bomb. Vaan can easily get Durendal as a Knight, Ultima Blade was his ultimate in RW but it's a greatsword in XII and Zodiac. Gigas Chestplate he can get as a Machinist, Monk, Archer or Shikari, and I'm tossing up Monk for Augments or Machinist for Steal/Poach as Vaan is a Thief in RW. He also wears Boots as accessories in RW, with Germinas being his best available pair. Penelo is a White Mage in RW, so that's her primary, but her weapons are Staves, which are Black Mage only. Since Nirvana isn't a thing in Zodiac, she's geting the Golden Staff, along with Gaia Gear. Her RW accessory is Armlets, which the Rose Corsage counts as, immunity to Silence will be a great asset to the main healer. Fran keeps her Archer class, and will easily get Sagittarius, the Duelling Mask, and the Minerva Bustier without issue. For her subclass I'm thinking Red Mage for some debuffs and exclusive access to Arcane Magick. Since her RW gear is all armour, her accessory slot is free game. Balthier has to be a Machinist or Shikari to get the Fomalhaut, and it's a toss for the Monk or Shikari to get Brave Suit. His RW accessory is Rings, so I'm setting on the Renewal Ring. Ashe is a Time Mage in RW but that will be her secondary class, I'll start her as Black Mage to get access to bombs. The Volcano is available to Black Mages if they get Mateus. Glimmering Robes is available to Red, White and Black Mages, and the Bushi, and her ultimate Necklace happens to be the Ribbon. Basch working as a Tanky Paladin of sorts will work as a Knight / Foebreaker maining Excalibur but switching to Save the Queen for fights like Yiazmat, since he absorbs Holy. He will wear Maximilian and Grand Helm, opening his accessory slot up for options.

[@gustavpnilsson83]

Bahahaha, at 2:52 someone renamed Tidus "Titties!" 😅

[@kamenriderkfp6684]

Shout out to Final Fantasy XIV's Raubahn Extreme. If you were there then you know how hard of a wall he was to bypass for progression in the game

[@jaeusa160]

Finally an acknowledgement of a 14 Ultimate on this list.

[@PetarBladeStrok]

Really, Ultima? I'd say that Leviathan from the latest FFXVI DLC is 10 times harder than Ultima. Even Omega from the 1st DLC. Also, VI has way harder optional superbosses than Kefka. Other than that, great choices! Kinda hoped you'd include Weiss from FFVII Remake Intergrade. That superboss requires you to learn to play the game and dodge/parry!

[@matthewlaclair54]

I was about to say the same thing. I found Ultima to be a joke after fighting Omega.

[@RyuujinLetum]

Yep. Before the DLC, I was like Ultima was hard but doable. But after the DLC I am like yeah ok he was more of a joke compared to the others

[@jamonangapa9053]

Fr. Barnabas was the hardest for me, as I kept on dying. After that, when I fought Ultima in both the Interdimensional Rift and Origin, he was much easier. After the DLCs came out, Omega took the cake, but then Leviathan...especially on Final Fantasy mode...we don't talk about that...

[@RyuujinLetum]

@jamonangapa9053 you're right Barnabas and the dragon Svarog were harder

[@MagiaErebea028]

There were hunt marks that gave me more trouble than ultima didn’t find him hard at all. Of course I had done pretty much 100% of all the side content before going fight him so maybe why

[@JamailvanWestering]

The Dark Aeons on their own are a lot harder than Seymour Flux. Especially Dark Bahamut

[@TearTheRoof0ff]

Yeah, Dark Yojimbo is a twunt too as you have to fight him multiple times in a row, which somewhat mitigates the Zanmato approach.

[@agntzeroness]

True, plus Penance. But considering where you are at the time you fight Flux, he’s a huge difficulty spike

[@JamailvanWestering]

@@agntzeroness Mehh disagree I bodied him but that’s because I was a bit more powerful by grinding

[@mikespike2099]

Seymour Flux … I remember smashing that boss because I had grinded in the cave where Yojimbo summon is on the plains in FFX!

[@HomuHomu310]

Honestly, Seymour Flux isn't too bad if you just level up properly and got Protect/Protectga or Shell/Shellga

[@Kiridiana]

Or just use poison and defend lol

[@RPsj]

Actually the timed quests still exist, there is one for each day of the year, and there is even one that puts the player against dread behemoth and the elder treant, which is said to be one of the most difficult fights in the game.

[@Neonlight5]

Really odd to put Yiazmat for xii when you have the five judges fight on the 100 floor of trial mode . Which imo is the actual hardest fight of any final fantasy.

[@Alirian2]

Absolute virtue was WAY harder. Don't get me wrong, floor 100 was really freaking hard, but AV was on a whole other level and made people bring Square to court

[@supernerdworld8532]

I dont know about you but i just teached Ultima, the Cure, Life, Haste and Quick spells to everyone and Kefka didnt actually lasted long. I guess that he is a challenge if you go to him too early and dont do any sidequest, but i never played like that ... not to mention that some versions of FF6 are full of exploits like Vanish+Doom or X Zone.

[@DonMaximo]

I'm playing ff6 again rn. Such a good game

[@TheOmegaDragon]

You must not have fought Leviathan in FF16. An infant caused me the most Gameovers than all the bosses I've faced in FF16.

[@NotSolidSnake-]

That 3rd phase is a crime against humanity

[@nave2655]

I died 3-4 times the entire campaign on FF difficulty as well as the echoes DLC. I died to leviathan at least 5 to 6 times

[@kevinkaslana9060]

I concur. I died at least 7 times to Omega because of either his Hyperextension move or that fucking High Maneuvers BS that he has. Leviathan I only died to ONCE and that was on his second phase AKA the DPS check. I can safely say I had more of a struggle with Omega because of how wide his moveset is over Leviathan.

[@drakkar33]

The most deadly temper tantrum ever

[@Vincornelis]

Yeah Leviathan is annoying as hell. It expects near button perfection and tactics you never use anywhere else. One of the criticisms of FF16 is that it's on the whole too easy. With the 2 DLCs they saw a chance to adress that and placate the people who wanted more of a challenge. They got it right the first time with Echoes of the Fallen which is more difficult than the main game but ultimately perfectly achievable for anyone who beat the main game if they apply a bit more focus but then went too far with Leviathan in The Rising Tide and lost sight of the fact that it should still be doable for the rest of us since it isn't an optional fight but necesary to finish the story of the DLC.

[@nickmackley9579]

None of the Seymour fights are hard. Yunalesca is worse

[@Andy2090]

There's been a few already mention the dark aeons in 10, but what about Penance after those? The life regens are ridiculous with his arms.

[@claytonrios1]

Ultima really was an excellent boss as well as a hard one. Plus you can use his power in the DLC so that's pretty fun.

[@wiseguy240Winston]

How is Long Gui, Cid Raines, or Vercingetorix from FF13 not on this list? FF13 alone made ppl do more game overs than the average FF game. Where's Warmech in FF1? Cloud of Darkness & Neo Exdeath wipe Kefka in these rankings, too, and don't get me started on FF4DS. 😂

[@necroarcanistxiii]

Verce actually wasn't that tough for me, granted he was a bit tedious because my strategies drew the fight out, but i'd completed literally every other Cie'th hunt before him, too. I'd put Neochu as worse simply coz of how BS he can be even if you've completed all up to him. Gigantaur was a prick, too, pun not intended, but he wouldn't stop Dazing everyone with the 100,000 he was covered in. Cid was a tiny bit of a BS boss, he was the 3nd story boss I'd died to (Barthandelus was the second coz I didn't know you had to attack him during Destrudo's charge up to weaken the attack until I watched DarkKefka's video on Hardest FF Storyline Bosses. Even with a maxed Crystarium at the time, Sentinels didn't block a whole lot of damage. Shiva was first coz I missed the memo about what to do when the gauge was full and I didn't press X in time.) As for Long Gui, yeah, fair call. 13-2's version was a joke compared to the original. It wasn't an absolute train wreck when I had my Adamantoises upgraded as I'd practised on the one stomping about Eden until I had a strategy that didn't rely on Death. By the time I had unlocked the Gui I was clearing 'toise corner in about 3 minutes per run.

[@warrencochrane5155]

Beam Cannon ff8, wiped me out for like 3 months until I got lucky once, almost had to start the game all over again just to level up and get back to that point as I had no other saves

[@elrojojp]

Thank god for the ring that tells you when to dodge, or else I never would have beaten Ultima. Id be too focused on attacking that I wouldn't notice his attacks coming and end up getting one shotted 😅

[@Snook1985]

Exactly there is nothing hard about that boss lol😅

[@KitsuneSoup]

Came here to see all the "Kefka is so easy!" comments, and didn't disappoint... but he /is/ that hard. "I used an exploit" and "I taught everyone all the best spells with Three Stars and Genji+Master Scroll" means you had to grind out all those abilities and farm all the items, proving that he was hard. You needed all the stuff to win. :p

[@johnwarner4178]

Yes and no. I didn’t “grind,” so while I did use some good combos that happened naturally. Kefka would only make this list for people dojng some kind of low level challenge

[@KitsuneSoup]

@@johnwarner4178 Define "happened naturally" in this case. I'm not saying you did it deliberately, but even playing the game in a non-perfect game, using the mechanics to do things like Speed+ from Odin and other magicite bonuses does "naturally" teach you the best spells. Kefka makes sense because he's the only real end boss in FF that gives a challenge that /doesn't/ require a specific setup (Cloud of Darkness) or isn't designed to punish leveling/progression (Yu Yevon, Ultimicia). Adamantoise XV and Yizmat aren't hard, they're time consuming. Pandemonium Watcher and Absolute Virtue aren't hard, they're deliberate gimmick fights that are changed every time a way to kill them is found. Nothing in XIII or VII-Re is hard, they seem that way because of a false difficulty curve based on the Break System. When you look at the bosses that are mechanically hard in their own game, that's why you get Kefka, Omega, some Bahamut (Bahamuts? Bahamuti?), Ozma, keep showing up on these lists.

[@wiseguy240Winston]

He's not even hard compared to anything in FF4, FF4DS, FF2 and FF13

[@makasete30]

Yeah - that’s true. I did grind as a kid. I found FF4’s boss easier too, though many say it’s harder.

[@barletproductions]

He got nothing on lightening returns where you fight God who cheats every second, if ya wanna go lower ff13's final boss is also unfair

[@doomiag]

I routinely run laps at the end of the mountains now just to build my overdrive on every aeon and character so I can just use finishers on Flux till he drops. The first time I wasn't as wise 💀

[@user-zf2ru4eq4w]

There is an additional recommended method way to beat Ruby in ff7 in addition to coming into the fight with only one-party member and with the knights of the round table. You have to equip the materia in a way that gives you auto life every time you get knocked out. I remember on the PlayStation 1 I had to experiment with the different combinations of equipping materia. Also, to my knowledge the Dread Behemoth in ffxv still does appear but only certain times. Not sure about anyone else but I still have creatures that appeared in the timed events still randomly appear so I can get food ingredients. Also also, Omega from ffxv is one boss I am still trying to figure out and I'm curious on how many other people are having trouble or had trouble with it and any advice would be very helpful.

[@Urlastnerve]

I just noticed how when Ultima transforms he has Clive’s face.

[@NoMansSkyResources]

FF15's timed quests are still available. They're on a loop.

[@RyuujinLetum]

Really? Didn't know that. I'm curious because D Behemoth I haven't beaten yet. Because of the timed quest lol

[@donnyyasu2764]

Absolute Virtue and Pandemonium Warden from XI, Im not sure which Id give the edge to

[@marctosh705]

If we’re including super bosses, surely penance would be in for ffx. Even though there’s a set strategy for it that works well, if you make literally one mistake you could easily lose the fight.

[@matthewlaclair54]

The Omega Protocol is a way harder fight than Dragonsong’s Reprise in 14. And the enrage mechanic (aka instawipe) is in just about every fight that is Extreme or higher in FFXIV.

[@BookBurrow]

This is incredibly nitpicky, but the spell/ability that Ruby Weapon uses to remove party members is called Whirlsand, not Whirlwind.

[@j.l.3685]

Yeah it's okay, this guy clearly never played the games so it doesn't really matter 😂

[@Att.jackson89]

FFX you can just make a custom weapon for titus called the razzamatazz i think.. Its silent,dark and poison strike all combined this alone makes 70% of the bosses a breeze.

[@jordanwalker2804]

I feel like I absolutely trounced Seymour Flux... I grind to a ridiculous degree and made my aeons equally OP.. Like Bahamut completely soloed one of the Weapons.

[@Urlastnerve]

Seymour Flux was my first real wall I ever hit in a FF game. Dude forced me to grind in that mountain for hours just to barely get the win my first time playing. I know he’s coming now so if I ever play again I’m better prepared for the fight.

[@dreammaster1224]

You don’t need to do the chocobo races to get the golden chocobo thats needed to get Knights of the Round

[@onebakedwalrus]

I played ff15 yesterday as well as today and it definitely still has timed quests. I finished one just to check if it would register and it does. Theres a new one today as well

[@sacredvp8261]

I think Yunalesca and Zodiark should be there too

[@Snook1985]

I say this again, I can't think of one person who thought Ultima FFXVI was hard. I dont think he's ever touched me. That one optional dragon whose name escapes me was the onky thing in the game I'd consider hard.

[@franimal86]

FF16 is one of the most exciting games to play in the franchise. As much as I didn’t like other parts of the game (mostly, enemies having no elemental weaknesses), the way the blood pumped through my veins after late-game boss battles made it worth the play through.

[@supernerdworld8532]

I dont find bosses with fucktons of hp really challenging, they are more boring to me than anything else. 😪💤

[@MitchBurns09]

I agree with seymour flux especially if you didnt grind very much up to that point. Yunalesca was actually easy for me personally. Because i did grind bwfore her lol.

[@Acidrain82]

Dark Yojimbo IS A PAIN

[@jamonangapa9053]

Have you played FF16's The Rising Tide yet? An infant is more batshit crazy than the literal main antagonist...

[@CJ_Pharaoh]

Waits for Yiazmat . . . Not disappointed

[@jerongordon]

How are chac or trema from the dreaded via infinito from FFX-2 not on this list?!

[@BCSFDC]

Ruby weapon can be made a lot easier if you spam quad magic of Hades which causes it to completely freeze for a few turns (likely a bug) and KOTR. Rinse and repeat and Ruby is a cakewalk.

[@PikaLink91]

I cheated a bit with Ozma and consulted a guide on the most effective setup to use against it. Which let to a more or less breasy fight a piece of equipment made it so that everytime it hit me with a certain elemental attack, my entire party got healed for thousands of HP instead of getting wiped out. So really when I fought it, Ozma was at a tug-of-war battle with itself.

[@rhynelinker7922]

Yeah, you can use black robes and one other armlet (I believe) to absorb shadow damage and between that and 2x Reflect Doomsday with Vivi, 9999 Dragon Crest and Thievery, Ozma goes down pretty easily. But when you're 10 and don't know all the ins and outs (also internet access wasn't much of a thing back then) that fight was a pain in the ass.

[@PikaLink91]

@@rhynelinker7922 I can imagine so yeah. I played it well after release. It was fun to cheese him, but at the same time I did rob myself of the satisfaction of beating him legit, so I guess I only cheated myself.

[@austyncolvard9246]

You guys have done this List 10000 times and its the same bosses just in different orders

[@westtexastiger]

I never fought Kefka at a low, unprepared level. I level grinded until my main party all knew Ultima. Once I got to that point, every enemy was easy.

[@0Silvertooth0]

[@brandonanderson2689]

Ruby really isn't that hard compared to the rest on this list. Ruby is just time consuming. And you can revive your party after it puts its tentacles in the ground. Life & Wall, Regen & Cure 3 (curaga), Ribbons, KOR, and megalixer and you'll be fine.

[@aliciaparker8784]

I think I'm one of the few that didn't have an issue with seymour flux to me the hardest boss in ffx to me was yunalesca honestly that third form of her is annoying and if one of your characters don't have zombie effort on them man your team was doom worse of all even in the remake you can't cutsences so you watch her speech all over again if you end up dying that was freaking annoying

Omega is pretty hard in 15

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

Eh. I'm not going to say he isn't, but because I went in at max level (which I think was 120?) and had enough potions and whatnot, he wasn't too much of a challenge, in my eyes. I don't remember exactly what I did, but I learned a pattern with him and the pattern may have also included taking damage from an attack I didn't know how to block or evade. Then, someone else healed Noctis and I just juggled the fight. Omega in FF XVI's first DLC was much harder for me, but I think I still beat it first try, but by the absolute skin of my teeth. I hate that the award for it is getting a sword that 99.9% of us will find useless because we've already beaten the game. I'm using it to juat cleave through everything quickly and just mostly enjoy the story again, my favorite part of any FF game.

[@jaeusa160]

I think they were going for 10 different games and 10 different bosses. Because Omega could easily come up again for FF14 as well with its own Ultimate. And hell, aside from the dev bs of Absolute Virtue, 14 alone would top an entire list of 10.

Whoaboy, the amount of "Um, akshually!" I'm seeing in the comments is laughable 😂. Guys, it's fine if you found something easy, but not everyone is you! Many others may have found a boss hard and so they've earned at least somewhat of a reputation for their difficulty. Not everyone is a "pro gamer". And if your preferred boss is missing, do you TRULY think a long-in-the-tooth series like Final Fantasy can REALLY have all of its hardest bosses condensed down to just 10? This is a topic that is good for multiple videos, the subject WILL be revisited...if this isn't already a sequel! If you didn't see a boss you preferred, don't be childish and complain, just offer it up as a suggestion for next time or go find if they've talked about this subject before. Except for maybe the videos with Jules, I see that every, and I do mean EVERY other video they do, even the podcast, has the most whiniest people I have ever seen for a channel 😂. Yeesh!

Incorrect. Most have specific strategies needed, loads are on a timer & FF8 exists, in which grinding is the worst thing you could possibly do.

[@paigemalloy4276]

Lol I'll absolutely concede your point about other games, but you can COMPLETELY break FF8 by grinding. Spend a couple of hours drawing hundreds of spells, refine them into _stronger_ spells, add those onto the appropriate stats and BOOM. You're at 9999 health by the time you get to Trabia Garden 👍✨

[@NoMansSkyResources]

@@paigemalloy4276 See, grinding typically means fighting lots of enemies. Enemies scale in FF8. Fighting enemies that you don't have to in ff8 makes the game much harder & if you fully level up before certain boss fights happen, you make those fights nearly impossible. Yeah, just avoiding battles & drawing magic can make things much easier; however, the game is very good at limiting access to more powerful spells until needed; so you can never be truely overpowered until you've got full access to everywhere on the world map, quite late in the game.

There is not a way to get to 9999 health before Trabia Garden. No combination of refining & available magic using GFs available before that point will get you that high & certainly not in other stats.

Some other details; Ruby Weapon is immune to all attacks until there's only one party member able to fight. Omega can also hit with status effects, even if ribbons are equipped.

Seymour Flux is a ridiculously easy battle. You should have put *Yunalesca* on your list instead 🦹‍♀️

I still play Final Fantasy *11* to this day. Your correct in everything you said about Absolute Virtue. The development team were pure evil 10 years ago when all that happened. Now the new development team plays fair and the game has changed into a more player friendly atmosphere for the betterment of everyone 🦹
