(SPOILERS ABOUND) Hardest final bosses, RPG or otherwise. Options

What were some of the toughest final bosses you've gone up against?

For me it was...

Destroyer - Romancing SaGa 3
Even with maxed out characters, this thing still gave you a run for your money. It attacks twice, maybe 3 times each round. Once you get it down low enough it starts busting off like 4 or 5 moves a round. If you didn't bother to kill the 4 guardians in the abyss, this fight is even tougher.

Zeromus - Final Fantasy 4
His big bang would do a good deal of damage and also cause HP leak so if the attack itself didn't do you in, the HP leak would seconds later. He just *loved* to use this attack. Black hole cancelled out all your magic effects like wall and what not. If you used holy or meteo on him, he'd counter by taking the caster's HP into the single digits. And if Rosa or Rydia were still under a big bang-induced HP leak, they were pretty much dead. If you got him like under 10000HP he'd start using meteo. Thank God it wasn't the overpowered one that Rydia or FuSoYa could use, otherwise this boss would be unbeatable.

Sigma - Megaman X
This was probably the toughest one IMO.

Wily's final form - Megaman 7
This one liked to move around a lot and shoot out fire and ice projectiles that immobilized you on contact. Very frustrating.

Super Shredder - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4
Like in the past games, he could turn your characters into ordinary turtles. He also had a few other nasty attacks up his sleeve and could only be hurt when the flame around his body was a certain color.

[Knightsword]

Emerald Weapon from FF VII was an easy kill. The hard part was taking the time to prepare for it. What I did was raise Knights of the Round to its max level and spawned another one, equiped both to Cloud, but I combined one with a maxed out hp drain and the other with a maxed tp drain, never ran out of hp or tp. Then did the mimic trick. I had on Tifa a final attack combined with a maxed Phoenix and covered my self from Emerald's super attack.

Ruby Weapon was a lot tougher, but I did the two dead trick. Using Knights was a must, but the counter attack from Ruby was nasty. The fight took longer and the reward for it blew compared to Emerald's

Lavos from Chrono Cross was a pain, because of the order that the spells and abilities had to be used in order to free Kid's alter ego (for the life of me I can't remember how to spell her name).

Well they arn't really end bosses but the World Devastators from the first Rogue Squadron were a pain, first taking out their shield generators then flying below them and shooting out the thusters. The were 3 of them and also having to take out the fighters added to the pain.

Theres more but this post is long enough as it is.
