Ok maybe I am not trying hard enough but Omega Weapon in FF8 was incredibly hard for me...I had long battles that went nowhere against him.
Ruby Weapon in FF7 I got Cloud loaded up with stuff and prepared for a solo fight since the others get sucked into the sand,(I know there is a strategy to take your teamates in dead then revive them with a pheniox summon but he just sucked them back in again..for me anyway it had to be solo) Knights of the round several times and bio the tenticals behind me, adding haste to them to kill them faster, I dont remember exactly how I did it but 22 minutes later it was gone in a red flash, and I had won.
I did it again right away to see if it was a fluke, this time I beat it in 18 minutes.(my buddywas pissed he fought it for 90 minutes and lost)
FFX was no problem for me I took out each of those aeons in one or two attacks and then finally the main guy in a few more hits.

I also think Ruby Weapon. Emerald waepon was much easier - especially with Final attack/Pheonix.
FFX was no problem, it just takes a while to get all stats up and to customise some good weapons.
Is it me or are the FF games actually getting easier. In the main game of FFX i didn't die once, yet against bosses from earlier FFX games i remember dieing several times.

See I actually found FF7 easier then FFX to do everything. It me ages to beat Dark Penance (I did it though eventually). killed in a few hits? damn you must have mega hp and md. His overdrive is mega powerfull the only way to survive is by using auto life nearly every damn turn and bringing all your aeons out. I still have nightmares about the beatings Dark Penance gave me.
Beating Ruby is very simple once you know how to do it.
First of all you need to be on at least level 65. Cloud must kill your other 2 characters before you enter the battle. You need Ribbon equipped with Cloud and make sure he has 9999hp and 999mp.
Have KOTR linked with Hp absorb so everytime you use KOTR Cloud is restored back to full health. Then keep on using mime to copy this move. Ignore those 2 tentricles they wont kill you and with ribbon you do not suffer any illness. Just keep wacking Ruby with KOTR by using mime and he will eventually die. Hades also stops Ruby moving for a while which is usefull to use at the beginning of the fight. (Phew) Any other questions about how to defeat the bosses?
I've beaten them all and I'd be happy to help a fellow gamer.

In FFX there was the way of using Yojimbo's zanmato (instant death) attack. This makes it easy to kill all the dark aeons in about an hour!

I cant remember; In Final Fantasy 8 was Omega Weapon the second 'weapon' you came across in that strange place where you had to split the team up and have one team ring a bell and the other run into the fight?
That was my tough one, not the other weapon in the deep sea base(Ultima?) that one didnt last too long at all.
Mind you FF8 was strange that way the way the creatures got stronger around you as you went up levels.

Ultima and Omega (ff8) were a cake walk, i took zero total points of damage...then again i was mean and used the item that makes the party immune to all attacks..but what an ya do..

In FFX there was the way of using Yojimbo's zanmato (instant death) attack. This makes it easy to kill all the dark aeons in about an hour! Well I never use Zanmato its a bit of a dirty tactic. Omega in FF8 is the one where you need to ring the bell in Ultimicas (or watever her name was) Castle then you needed to go into the organ room with that purple cloud floating about. Ultima was the one in the research facility in the middle of the sea only accesible with Ragnarok. You needed to beat Bahmut first then go into the depths of the facility where at the end you fought Ultima and could draw from him the ultimate GF Eden. Like SteelDragon said an easy way to beat Omega is to trade in the Laguna card that you can win from Ellone for 100 heros. You could then just keep giving your characters heros to make them invincable. If you dont have the Laguna card though a good stratagie is to have one of your characters (I had Zell) With Eden at 100%. Keep using Eden with Zell and have Squall and either Rinoa or Irvine with Aura. Keep using Aura on both of them so they can keep smashing at Omega with their limit breaks. Irvine with AP ammo is effective and Squalls punishment is good to use as well. Once one of your characters dies use Full life on them. You must have 9999hp with every character to really stand a chance of beating him. You need a good supply of Auras and full lifes but those are all you will need to beat him. Watch out for his move that takes 9999hp off everyone that can be nasty. So make sure you have one character with a GF as a sheild at all times. Thats how i managed to beat Omega. |

Ok I admit it I sucked against Omega weapon, but I kinda sucked at the card game too, because the rules kept changing, so I missed out on the really good cards. So I had no easy time in battle with Omega Weapon.  |

yeah, the card game was annoying with all the rules changeing before your eyes, i wish you had an option to pick your rules, i had to reboot my save a dozen times to prevent the loss of good cards. also another cheap tactic in 8 was to stock up on Ensuna and Ultima Spells and add them to your Resistance so you are immune to every type of Element and Stateffects

Hmm I guess I was still a Final Fantasy rookie back in those FF8 days, I handled myself well in FF7 but I really wasnt a fan of the junctioning system in FF8, or drawing your spells from foes that just made battles more time consumeing, especially if a critter had a spell you wanted a lot of.. "Just twenty more and I'll have Squall filled up with 100 Sleeps, then I can switch to Zell drawing for half an hour to build up sleep spells and then Rinoa can draw for awhile too...Yawn all this drawing sleep is making me sleepy"  |

yeah, the "Draw" was a stupid idea really, i think most of the time i Drew a max of 3 for that spell..to it make building up a long time for some, 8 was more time consuming with Building up on spells, 7 was much better with that stuff

The magic system in FF7 allowed for more tactical choices - thats one of the reasons why it was better. I agree that the draw system in FF8 meant the battles began to drag, but by junctioning the spells to your stats it meant you could become really strong very early in the game  |

FF7 has the best system by far. I hated the FF8 system and on my first attempt at the game I could not even beat Adel. It was only on my second attempt that i actually worked out what you had to do. FF9 was just too easy. It took no thought at all in FF9. FF10 had a good stat system with the sphere grid but once you had got all the spheres you were not unstopable, Powerfull enemys could still kill you in one blow.
