End boss of Radiata Stories. He did like 1000 damage per hit and I would have had to grind for days to beat him. I just never finished it.

Final Fantasy 3s (DS) final boss. Not just the final boss, but all the bosses you must fight before it, die once and redo the whole damn thing. Insane. Took a ton of grinding, finally beat it with a level 70 team of Dragoon, Dark Knight, Ninja, and a Devout.

For story-line bosses, Meganada from Digital Devil Saga 2. A royal pain in the ass he was, forced me to grind for 5 hours just to beat him, and I still barely won.

Oh, and Velius from FF Tactics, anybody thats played that game knows what I'm talking about.

Some of the bosses in FFXIII required quick reflexes or your entire party could be one shot. Not exactly an RPG, but Crisis Core (hard mode) on PSP was really unforgiving as well. Fail to dodge, or try to dodge an attack that could only be blocked and you'd instantly die. Traditional RPG bosses aren't exactly hard since it usually just comes down to mechanics. You need simply need the right stats, items, and maybe a pinch of luck and you'll be fine. As an example, in FF7, I killed all weapons/bosses with just Cloud and no summons. If I had to pick a more traditional fight, I guess I'll go with Nyx from Persona3 FES. It's such a long fight, and chances are you won't be prepared for it (unless you read up on it first).

Hmm...a lot of RPG bosses can be beaten with a few tricks up your sleeve.

But, if I were name one, prob Elizabeth.

I'v never played any of the oldschool JRPG's so I probably don't even know what a hard boss is, but i found Jon Irenicus(Baldur's Gate 2)pretty difficult...can't remember which difficulty I played on but I could never beat him without a couple of my characters dying.

The dragon on Throne of Baal was pretty tough too.

Definitely agree with Emerald and Ruby weapon. I also thought the King guy in Demon's Souls was pretty difficult.

Pandemonium Warden. That thing is infamous for being hard not just for FFXI players. The only time that thing has been defeated was by exploiting mechanics.

yawn

Dullahan was way harder.

Anyway my pick is Yogg-Saron.

Also no lights in the darkness when it first came out was insanely difficult to do.

Emerald Weapon I beat with Cloud doing Ominslash all the time but Ruby I beat with Hades for some reason when you summon him it stuns Ruby Weapon. But Emerald was mad hard for me even after I got the little thing that takes the time off.

That's nice my friend I tip my hat off to you for beating the weapons with just Cloud and no summons. I had to almost max out all my characters out just to beat them and I still had trouble

Yeah, kind of interesting thing I discovered. The Double Cut (4x Attack) materia couldn't be paired with HP Absorb. If you paired a Master Command materia with an HP absorb and the Double Cut with another Master Command, you'd steal life for ~4k every turn. Then it's pretty much just a matter of keeping Regen and Big Guard (Enemy Skill) rolling on yourself and you'll kill anything in the game (provided your base stats are high enough).
