I honestly don't really know... tons have given me problems, but none have seemed too out of hand

Including MMORPGs or no?

Because there's a HNM in FFXI that normally takes a good 24 hours for three groups of ever-changing lvl 75 players (as few would play an MMORPG 24 hours straight doing the same thing, and one would want to switch out resource-lacking players to keep downtime minimal) to beat. This summons a God creature in the game.

Of course, the group that took it on was primarily Japanese.

Bahamut in FFIV used to give me a lot of crap because of his breath attack, but enough leveling could keep at least one person alive.

Qulex (sp?) from Super Mario RPG could be a pain if one wasn't ready to take him on, but as he was optional this was never a problem.

I'm pulling up blanks because I'm tired and just got home, but this is definately something worth discussing.

The absolute hardest battle in RPG history is that one battle in Saga Frontier 2 where your army has to hold out for 5 rounds and you win... I've tried this battle over 100 times, I even bought the strategy guide to help me with this battle, what did the strategy guide say? Just defend and good luck, winning is not garaunteed you just have to get lucky...WTF o_O

A lot of battles in The 7th Saga were pretty difficult (in fact it's probably on of the hardest RPGs ever made), although I actually didn't think the last boss was that bad.

What about the FF weapons? I still haven't been able to beat Ozma.

This is certainly a good topic.

Can't think of any examples right at this moment. Getting ready to go out. So I'll get back to this one later.

Heh, call me a masachist but I actually repurchased Saga Frontier 2 to finally beat the thing. It's been the bane of my existence ever since I admitted defeat to that game. But the time has come for me to finally prove who is the stronger! (wish me luck)

Elmdor on the roof in FF Tactics, simply because I'd sometimes lose that battle BEFORE I could even control a member of my team. There was literally nothing I could do in some cases.

well this may not be an exact boss battle but in star ocean til the end of time I found it nearly impossible to continue on to some parts of the game if you didn't level up enough..normal battles where like boss fights.

*SPOILER*

The part I am primarly talking about is when you make it to the world that leads to the gate into the "real" life. If you know what I mean. Each of those monsters I found myself just trying to run past for fear of them kicking my ass.

Styx, you mean? Pssh, I remember those being difficult, but the thing about TtEoT was that it was so easy to run from enemies, and additionally, the Proclaimers on Styx weren't all that difficult to avoid. The one you first fight at the moon base, however many levels earlier? THAT was pretty hard. Not as bad as some of these others listed, though.

If my spectating for Lunar SSSC was any indication, that game had some pretty nasty boss battles in store, particularly for the underlevelled. One level could make all the difference there. I got stuck at that sewer serpent in Meribia, but that's only because I had given all my Star Lights to Nash on the boat to have him leave once it landed. Oops.
My brother got stuck on the Bronze Dogs when he was caught in the volcano without a few pieces of ice equipment, and Chelsea herself was the only one to make it to the finish, getting smacked down by Xenobia more times than I can count before getting lucky.

On the subject of FFT, my memory is rusty, but if I recall near the end of the fourth chapter there was one fight where Ramza must take on some guy alone on one side of an impassable gate, and your party is outnumbered and left to fend for themselves on the other. Ick. That was a rather nasty fight too.
