First time through ever, unless you pack a team of 4 fighters or 3 fighters 1 white mage or something like that, the Marsh Cave in FF1 was very very nasty. You'd have to have played through the real FF1 (not the PS remake etc) and on an NES (no savestates) to really experiance it; no boss needed to make it difficult really. But the monster spawn spot in front of the chest down there that is like 3 to 6 of the Cthulu guys (Flayers) is deadly, as are most of the normal monsters floating around.

lol they were so damned easy (all weapon)

my Vote goes to FF X Judge since the fight took 4 hours (without dieing), but i didn't fight aggainst the FF XII optional endboss yet, he may be harder even

FF IX Yadis also masterpiece, and FF VIII Omega Weapon (or was it Ultima?) was a joke cause of the hero drinks (dunno name, but made you imortal)

Omega wep ff5. Every FF after that was like a nubcakewalk. Cept mebbe ff12 if you missed the spear. Or Chac in FFX-2, but that game's gay so you don't know about him
And seriously, with enough prep, any weapon FF7 and on was easy.

duh.

Final Fantasy 12 these are the bosses that gave me an issue all optional cause the story bosses were just too easy

yiazmat -( 50 million hp true and ridiculously strong annoying 4hour battle )(NEVER AGAIN)
omega mark 12 - (inflicts 9999 damage every turn and is very fast what else can be said)
behemoth king -(this guy for some reason gave me trouble ) - UNLUCKY
fafnir - (because i was low lvl)

i would have put these ones in here too but they reallly were not that bad

hell wyrm - |mini yiazmat| didnt have issues with him as i was already lvl 99 with my main team which was all the guys
ultima - this esper has a nasty strategy attack but can be easily avoided and countered so not as hard as it seams
zodiark - this mother can be a real nightmare if u dont know what u are doing key to winning this battle so simple lies within the combo of gambits and dark matter

He meant fighting Emerald WITHOUT guides and such.

Yiazamat HANDS DOWN

ff12

takes at least 4 hours to kill even with 85+lvl chars and all the best gear

definatly. if you dont have ribbon your fucked.

wow thats lame must take like an hour or so to defeat it?(ive heard of 50thousand life but not no 50mill)
havent fought him yet but im realy close to him

It doesn't really count because it isn't a boss, but the Marsh Cave was a nightmare. I had to run from most of the battles.

I seem to remember the Ice Cave being worse though. There were loads of enemies with instant-death attacks.
