i wouldnt say tetra master from final fantasy 9 is the worst bc there is no reward.
There is a reward every time you play, you get to pick one of the opponents cards. just because there isnt an ultimate prize doesnt mean it is a bad game.
Tetra master from 9 was the ONLY mini game i ever wanted to stop playing the main game for.
For me, it was never about a reward. Instead, it was the vintage-Superman-creating-new-superpowers type bullsheot that cost me game after game.

Don't worry, Matsui already said they have a system in place to rejuvenate R/E/M. They just want to make sure they have the correct damage values on the current weapons before they allow us to upgrade them.

Speaking of W-Item, III had a nice item dupe glitch too. Though, if you attempt to use that same item in the same battle, you'd freeze and crash. :(

Really enjoying these responses, and I will be adding best and worst mini games to the second post soon after I have counted all the answers up.
Another question asked soon.

After reviewing players responses to the last questions, I have decided on the following.
Best Mini Games?
Gold Saucer Mini-Games (FFVII)
Tetra Master (FFIX)
Worst Mini Games?
Jump Rope (FFIX)
Games like Triple Triad, Hot N' Cold and Blitzball recieved a lot of positive and negative attention, so I honestly cannot add them to either category, as they are more personal preference.
Gold Saucer games generally got a lot of positive answers with a couple of exceptions (Arm Wrestling, Moogle Game, Chocobo Racing), while Tetra Master got a lot of positive as well, despite not awarding anything for playing it.

To elaborate on Chac:
Quote: Chac is a difficult enemy. She can petrify characters with her Stony Glare attack, which works regardless of immunities but can be evaded with high Evasion and Luck stats. Chac uses Hunter's Gaze on the target it is going to petrify that can also inflict Poison. Chac can break a petrified character with her Bash attack, removing them from battle. Because of this, it is good to pack extra Softs and Remedies to cure them before it happens. Chac's ultimate attack, Heaven's Cataract, does large amounts of damage to multiple characters and can also break them if they are petrified. Chac's physical attacks ignore Protect.
As with all Basilisks, Chac does not use Heaven's Cataract in Oversoul form and many consider Chac to be easier in Oversoul. The Oversoul attack pattern includes four additional attack types: Destroy Soft and Destroy Remedy, that also do damage, and are used unless an Alchemist is in the party; Bash replaces them. It can use MP Break to drain all of a character's MP, and on characters at half health or below, an attack that does no damage, Hunter's Gaze, is sometimes used. The net effect is a significant reduction in overall damage per time and even risk of KO.

Blitzball was a great idea for a game it was just made before its time I think. If blitzball was its own game now and actually had more work put into it I feel like it was be great but as it was in FFX it was pretty terrible.
Edit: Although I sucked pretty bad at it so im sure that has a lot to do with my hatred towards it as well

My only problem was it just got way too easy as it went on, all you needed to do was recruit some free agents then it was impossible to lose.

The Hardest Bosses in the series?
Originally the question was asking which is the hardest boss of them all. However this is a very broad question, and it will always come down to a players experience, and which games they have played.
There are bosses which are exceptionally difficult within the storyline if not properly prepared for (Demon Wall in FF7 comes to mind) while super bosses will always be difficult even with the greatest of stats, weapons and abilities.
Other bosses were once impossible to defeat, like the two monsters you see above. Two forces of evil that would laugh at the inferiority of their opponents, now can be easily defeated by the majority.
Some bosses continue to be difficult, whereas others are exceptionally hard unless you use a particular move or bug that ends the fight easier. (Zanmato on Penance comes to mind)
What I am looking for, are THE hardest fights from each Final Fantasy Game. This question may take some time to complete, and it would be interesting to see which monsters people believe are the hardest of them all.

... just a reminder knights of the round summon was only in the na version... I dislike considering it cannon especially since it was all kinds of overpowered.

- The best lead character - zidane
- The best support character - vivi, steiner
- The most evil villain - kefka hands down
- The game with the best music - all of them?
- The game with the best battle and level system - tactics hands down, did enjoy 10's hotswap sidelined characters with no penalty tjough.
- The greatest special ability - ff5 dw combo'd with hunters x-fight = 8x9999 per character.
- The best main storyline - 5, 9
- The worst main storyline - 10, 12, 13
- The best jobs - calculators (or w/e they were called from tactics)
- The biggest spam move ever - fight <.< it is technically an ability especially optional for the mimic class in ff5
- The weakest party character ever - krillin possibly yamcha >.>;
- The greatest summon/esper/eidolon - bahanut hands down
- The best damage dealing character - technically tidus with his ultimate weapon doing his final limit break...

What?? I am absolutely sure I am English who was playing FFVII and killed Emerald and Ruby with Knights of the Round?
This actually has nothing to do with what anybody has said in the last few pages, so I am confused.
Edit: Just for the sake of randomness, I found a nice picture of KOTR and added it to the second post.

Ozmaaaaa.
Even if you completed the friendly monster side-quest, he could still wipe you're entire party in 10 seconds.
Ozma: *uses Meteor and hits everyone for 9k+* MWAHAHAHA! Wha-?
*Everyone had Auto-Life*
Ozma: NOT ON MY WATCH! *Uses Curse and hits everyone for 8k+*

Totally disregarding his HP, Yiazmat deserves to be on there, too. Having to Lure and Reverse spam that entire fight, lol. I wouldn't last 2 seconds.
Also, XII had an interesting Judge fight in the International version that looks extremely tough, too.
Vercingetorix from XIII as well. Again, despite 15m HP, Wicked Whirl is naught to be laughed at. Requiring the Paradigm Deck: Tortoise just to survive. Also, almost required to use Poison just to help stabilize his HP restoration during Impenetrable Aura.

Also, Giant of Babil from IV DS!
Honestly, a lot of the super-bosses should go on this list. I didn't find any of the Weapons hard from VII, Omega Weapon wasn't terrible from VIII.

Chocoboeater wasn't hard...nothing in FFX was hard actually once you get Celestial weapons.
Dark Magus Sisters were a pain, Dark Shiva can be rough if your AGI isn't close to maxed, Dark Anima is an endurance fight, Dark Bahamut is tough if you haven't worked out the Impulse pattern and Penance needs no introduction.
Nemesis is also reasonably tough and the Greater Sphere and Neslug can be pains in the *** too. Shinryu can be rough depending.

I'll concede Dark Magus. First time I met them didn't even know dark summons existed, Delta Attack on first round and oneshot all party.
As I sit here during the maintenance, I would like to begin an idea I conjured up while working. Simply put, I would like to find out what everyone believes are the absolute best and worst aspects of the Final Fantasy series.
I watched some youtube videos last night, and it seems a lot of the "Top 5" videos are pretty biased, as some youtube users like different FF more then others.
When it comes to FF, I am good at being unbiased. I can admit to playing FF1, 2, 12 and 13 without clearing them, while completing the following titles: FF Mystic Quest, FF 4, 5, 6, 7, 7 DOC, 8, 9, 10, and 10-2. I would love to include FFXI in this, as anyone who makes a list of the series best and worst tends to leave it out for some unknown reason... like they don't want it to exist??
I can admit to never playing FF3, 13-2, Crisis Core or any other I have not listed, so help may be needed on those.
So you may be thinking, how will we decide? What aspects of the game should we look into? Below is a list of questions that I would like to see answered.
- The best game?
- The best lead character?
- The best support character? (Basically any good character who you can party with, who is NOT the lead character. I do not mean support like a Mage.)
- The most evil villain?
- The game with the best music?
- The game with the best battle and level system?
- The greatest special ability? (2 hours, Limit Breaks, Overdrives, Trance etc.)
- The hardest boss fight ever?
- The rarest item ever?
- The rarest fight?
- The hardest weapon to make?
- The best main storyline?
- The worst main storyline?
- The best jobs?
- The worst jobs?
- The most pointless quests ever?
- The hardest quests to complete?
- The biggest spam move ever? (As in, you repeat the move constantly for an advantage)
- The biggest glitches that benefit you?
- The weakest party character ever? (Can be any character who you can "control" in a party)
- The hardest end boss?
- The most useful magic spell ever?
- The greatest summon/esper/eidolon?
- The best mini-game?
- The worst mini-game?
- The best tank character. (PLD, High defense etc.)
- The best damage dealing character
- The best magic support character (WHM, cures etc.)
Can you think of anymore??? If you can, let me know and I shall add it to the list.
I will reserve a post below to show the results, so you people do not have to go looking for them. Also I would like to ask these questions randomly (maybe more then one at a time) and keep them up until we have a sufficient answer. You can simply vote on what you feel is right, and by explaining your answers, you may encourage others to agree with you and vote the same way.
