what is the toughest boss u have ever faced in a jrpg game ?
my choices would be diamond,emerald,ruby weapons from ff7.

i didnt find any of them hard particularly, nor have any of the weapons in FF games been that hard just some took awhile.

Zodiark i haven't faced yet as i got annoyed at FFXII threw the controller across the room and went back to completing the Arena in FFX and never went back... will go back tomorrow though and finally finish and complete FFXII.

I think the toughest boss i have faced is Nemesis in FFX even with full str, def and mag def and Luck stats in the 150 region, his Ultra Spark still hits for 32k on people with 25k at most health, just such a pain. Another particularly tough battle was against Sin (Head) in FFX aswell, not that a boss with 100k HP would usually be difficult it was that you had 5 turns to do it in otherwise BOOM!!! the world is destroyed... and not being able to hit over 9999 yet was a nuisance. 

The trick to defeating all the super-bosses on FFX is to have at least 255 STR and Speed/Agility, Quick Hit and Auto-Life ability for all your party members. 

Quick Hit, with 255 Agility, allows you to get up to 30 strikes on Nemesis with all your characters, before he can even do a single attack. Just let Auto-Life take care of the healing, cast it when needed and then resume to use Quick Hit.

I defeated even Penance using that strategy.
