Most Difficult Final Fantasy Monster?

[Nikkolas]

Great Malbro from FF10. Or perhaps just Malbro from the other Final Fantasy's.

[Rurouni Storm]

Omega weapon from FFV ;)

Marlboro?

[Nikkolas]

I do not recall. I have not played FF10 in several months. I lent it to a close friend and I have yet to see him or the game again.

The Chocobo Eater in FFX...of course, you don't actually have to win that battle... but at least for me, I couldn't have beaten it at the level I was at.

For raw difficulty, the Great Malboro in FFX. Even with my god-like auto-haste auto-pheonix shields on everyone, I died so many times to this beast (the berserk and confuse prefent the auto-pheonix from working)

[KagomJack]

Omega weapon from FFV ;)

without a doubt. I could never kill it. And in all my FF skill, it still managed to kill me (bloody bastard!)

But second would've been Great Malboro in FF X :D

[Cerridwen]

Malboro from FFVIII, Yan from FFIX...and basically, all those one-hit monsters from FFVII. One-hit is like they toss you out of the battlefield for no apparent reason at all and only 1 or 2 characters are left or is/are killed; similar to the Yan's Snort and Comet.

Malboro from FFVII's pretty manageable if you have a Ribbon equipped. :D The Malboro from FFVIII is the WORST. I still have to see the Great Malboro, though. :D :D :D

[Kuja`s #1]

Look in Omega Ruins. After you beat Ultimate Weapon, you run into him. He's probably in Sin 2.

[Dan XIII]

I am currently playing ffx but haven't made it far enough yet to go against the great Malboro.Regular Malboros are easy though.

[Raziel]

The Warmech from FF1.

[WetWired]

Hmm. I never fought against him. There's only a certain chance of encountering him, you know...

[Rurouni Storm]

Actually, you CAN'T kill him. I used the ROM to test this and he has infinite HP.

[JohnnyTAE]

umm the christmas event monster in FF11 beins you need about 15 lvl 75 people just too kill it :p

[Raziel]

Hmm. I never fought against him. There's only a certain chance of encountering him, you know...

Yeah, he's on the top level of the Flying Fortress (or "Sky Castle" if you're an old-school purist). I intentionally spent a good half hour wandering around up there just to see how bad he was. I think I made it three rounds.

Actually, now that I think about it, I know of a worse enemy type than the Warmech. Although, they're only really fierce in groups of three or four. There is a certain type of enemy in FF2 (the actual FF2, not FF4) that you encounter frequently in Pandaemonium (the final dungeon) called a Death Rider. Those things have three distinct qualities that make them unbearable to fight.

1) Their attack stat is enormous.

2) Their standard attacks cut right through any armor you're wearing. You could have full Genji-wear on your most resilient character, and it won't blunt the damage one iota.

3) Their standard attack has a life-drain trait attached to it.

So, these Death Riders will attack a character, do about 1,500-2,000 damage each time they hit, and they get about 90% of that back in drained HP. These guys are regularly encountered enemies in Pandaemonium, not bosses, not mini-bosses.

The only flaw they have is that they rarely get the initiative in a battle. But, all that amounts to is that you frequently get pre-emptive attacks in the first round. If you're fighting two, and you get a pre-emptive, they're no problem. If you're fighting four, and you get a pre-emptive, you'll suffer. If you fight two even-keel, you'll suffer. If you fight two and they get the initiative, good friggin' luck. If you fight four, and they get the initiative, you're dead. That's all there is to it.

[BlueCube]

That's why I only used Firion the entire game. Eventually he had 99% evasion (since he was the only character actually THERE to hit).. not even the last boss could physically attack him. Sure, everyone else was dead the entire game, and Firion finished the game with pnly about 2000 max HP (since he almost NEVER got hit unless I fought magic people on purpose), but it was funny.. and the ending sucked.

[Chruser]

FF3's monsters are way too easy, sadly. Even Kefka wasn't much of a challenge by any means.

[BlueCube]

Heh, I remember Kefka.. beat him in like 2 rounds usually, 1 round if I was lucky..

lv. 99 Locke + Offering (x-fight, 4x attack) + Gengi Glove + Atma Weapon + Some Other Sword That I Forget

He'd do 9999*4 + ~6000*4 = 63996 damage a round.. And Kefka has 64000 HP. Though, sometimes I'd get lucky and it'd do like 7000 for the other sword on a swipe, so I win in one round..

[Jessifer]

I'm pretty sure that Atma Weapon can't be used by Locke, but I could be wrong I suppose. :wierd: Anyway, I'll have to go with the Marlboro's. Bloody things...even with my tendancy to level up for hours, I always had to run from them.

Bloody things...even with my tendancy to level up for hours, I always had to run from them.yes atma weapon can be used by Locke.A ribbon is a Malboro killer.By the way Jessifer you spelled the enemy Malboro's name Marlboro which is a brand of cigarettes.

[WetWired]

you spelled the enemy Malboro's name Marlboro which is a brand of cigarettes.
How do you think they got their "bad breath" attack? :p

[!King_Amazon!]

So did I, and if I remember correctly that is how it was spelled in one of the games.

I think you mean FF6.

[Raziel]

There's a level limit or something?

Well, there's not really "levels" per se. You just increase each individual stat on it's own through use. So, if a character gets his ass kicked in battle, if he's still alive at the end, he'll probably get an HP boost and an Endurance boost.

The thing with the Death Riders is that they seem to do a constant amount of damage regardless of how much armor you're wearing or how high a character's natural defense stat is. Example: my Gus had an endurance stat of 99, all of the Genji Armor and about 5,000 HP, and a Death Rider was still capable of taking him down in about two rounds. They'd actually do more damage to Gus than to Firion or Leon, who had significantly lower defense and about half as many HP. I figure that maybe they're programmed to do a half-assed "Demi" effect where they sap 50% of your Max HP instead of 50% of your Current HP. Either way, they're lame as hell.

[Kuja]

FF3(Nes) Bahamut. You can fight him but cannot kill as he get healed back up to 65000 hp after each turn.

[WetWired]

Then kill him in one turn, duh.
