There are lots of hard boss fights that I could put in here, but i'll just name a few:

- Omega weapon and Shinryu in FFV
- True Eve in Parasite Eve
- Nightmare, Dante Must Die difficulty in Devil May Cry
- Sephiroth, Extreme Difficulty in Kingdom Hearts I
- Origin in Tales of Phantasia
- Asura in Vagrant Story

Asura was not so hard .... well, not so much

To me she was extremely hard, because the only weapon that could even cause a dent in her HP was a Human Class 70 weapon, and I only had Human at 60, I focused too much in Dragon. 

Also, you had to go through 3 hellish levels in Iron Maiden before you get to her, so my resources were very scarce when I reached her.

well, I dont remember how I killed Asura ... perhaps I got a good weapon for her ... it was hard to not so hard

I always have the impression that all boss needed 2 fold more HP to make the game more "funny"

I just know the final boss was a good joke in term of difficulty

that the only thing I didnt like in the game : the end is easier than the start

1st golem boss, 1st "haunted armor boss", 1st fire elemental boss were more difficult to me than the last fire elemental boss : good joke
same go for each elemental/boss type

the game was still outstanding

Yeah you're right, Guilderstern is a bit of a joke in terms of difficulty, especially if you use Arts continuosly on him.

Also, the game did get a bit easier as you fought along the same type of bosses, mainly because of Affinities that you've gained. When you first fight the first boss in that line, you have 0 affinity for that type of monster, so it's very tough.

I guess the only bosses that didn't follow that pattern, at least for me, were Dragons, because they would always have a second type of Affinity, so you could be doing fine in terms of Dragon Affinity, but if you lacked on the second Affinity, you were screwed. 
Wywerns were the biggest example of this.
