The plot excludes the online Final Fantasy games, FFXI and FFXIV as well as games that are outside the main line series, like FFX-2. Super bosses appear toward the end of the video. The plot uses hit points as a metric for strength; I realize that more goes into boss strength than raw health but it was the most natural metric with available data for making a video like this.
I separated super bosses from regular bosses because super bosses tend to dominate the rankings, so if you start putting them on the list too early, main story bosses no longer make the list.

How many optional bosses do you want?
FFX: yes
That was an endless game. After the 50 hours main campaign you can defeat something like 50 secret bosses between zoolab, omega ruins and dark aeons 😂
Many of them are Reskins though.
Dante Vic true but you can‘t really compare them to each other in my opinion 🤔
@Baxi Tabaxi that was hell of extra content!
The same goes for the sequel and 12
Me: ''Oh, strongest FF bosses video''
*Noticed is HP based*
*Smirks while waiting for Yiazmat to show up*
Everyone did, at least those who love all FF and didnt throw sh** to this great game
DivineDragon That sums up exactly what I was thinking lmao
Yuuuuppp
Honestly, the boss fight with Yiaz is less with Yiaz and more with the HP bar.
this is mood lmao
Should've named this video "Healthiest" Bosses.
I see what you did there
Do you need an escort through the door?
@@HadeaRin Get yer damn hands off me!! I know when I'm not wanted in an establishment..
Yiazmat definitely had a balanced breakfast
You can tell which one pays for gym membership
Part of my brain: "But wait this only takes into account HP and assumes that the battle mechanics are transitive? This doesn't make even a little sense.
Other part of my brain: "GRAAAAAAAPHS"
Yiazmat: Because 50 million HP isn't enough, Square just had to throw in the extra 112,254...just for grins, I guess?
i remembered they done that with the birth by sleep secret boss. jsut for giggle.
Probably had to do with how many bits they could store in the integer for its health.
@@Webberjo nope. Nothing to do with that. Max bit value for HP would be 2.147b for that game.
Edit: 2147483647 to be exact, or two billion one hundred forty-seven million four hundred eighty-three thousand six hundred forty-seven
They made him that difficult due to the boss's name being a reference for Yasumi Matsuno. Who was the original director for the game but had to stop working due to being sick.
The hunt is even called "Farewell to a legend".
For those that don't know Yasumi Matsuno is responsible for creating Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together which was his masterpiece and led to Square Enix hiring him to make Final Fantasy Tactics that took a lot of influence from it.
@@nybethobdilord6912 Maybe he was born 11/22/54?
This makes me feel like the 4 hours it took to defeat Yiazmat was worth it!
I think Nemesis in FFX was the biggest Final Fantasy boss I ever took down.
In the remake version it takes like 20 min or less with x4. But well after 4 hours of grind must feel good to finally have beaten him.
4 hours? It took me a day. I was young too though.
I got FF12 specifically for Yiazmat when I heard him mentioned in a video as having more HP than Sephiroth. I regretted my life for the next few days until I finally beat that big bastard.
@@DataDaft You should go for Penance, it's much more fun and you don't have to do all of the catching to get there. It's the one monster in FFX that there is no getting around the fact that your party needs to be at a high level, you need the proper gear, and you can't screw up. Even Nemesis can be beaten by a single character.
Garland: I'LL KNOCK YOU DOWN
Yiazmat: Hold my Neck Ring.
FFIX was like "hey i'm here"
Don't worry FFIX you're still the best FF for me.
And it's the best for most people, and this kinda shows why... More people would actually prefer to enjoy a good story than just constantly fight health sponges for the entire game for little to no reason.
Ozma is still one of the scariest bossfights in my mind...
@@macglower1419 Ozma can hand your ass to you even with an extremely powerful party.
@@aaroncornhill2567 thats why you go at him with a level 1 group and its a faceroll
Definitely the best and most nostalgic for me but at 5:17 it says Ultima weapon boss,wtf??
This perfectly sums up what it feels like to watch Dragon Ball Z & Super
Yeah, I thought this was a pretty good recap episode.
You guys forgot some of the other games. Hard mode in lightning returns had a super boss with 131,250,000 hp.
Yiazmat: *chuckles* I'm in danger.
Thats shit more hard than Yiazmat and that dumb sphere in FF9 since i need to be good at timing accurately to block or stagger it. And Aeronite basically just fly away if you to weak and taking to long.
Wrong. The highest HP boss in that game is Aeronite. Its HP is just under 60 mil... that's on hard mode inside a chaos infusion. Nice try hyping it up though.
@@YourMothersHouseRightNow I misread your comment the first time. Now I’m trying to figure out where I got this number from.
@@marvelgirlxvii Aeronite's maximum HP is something like 57 and a half mil, which is higher than Yiazmat, but when you consider how easily he dies (after being fully staggered... the fight only lasts about 2-5 minutes depending on how you fight him), Yiazmat is way stronger.
Me at the start: oh man orphan had so much dam health im guessing itll stay near the top
Me at the end: WTF IS YIAZMAT
Not as hard as the HP makes it seem. It can be totally cheesed out, and you don't even have to beat it all in one go. You can go leave and save, and the hp you took off will still be gone lol. It's definitely not close to the hardest.
@@randumo24 But whatever you do... WHATEVER YOU DO... do NOT include ANY Renew gambits in your gambit composition. Yiazmat has a nasty tendency to cast Reflect on your party members so that healing spells bounce off of you. For Curaga and Curaja, it's not as bad as it would seem. But if you're unfortunate enough to no know this, and you get to that point and attempt to Renew yourself... Well, I hope you liked that fight because you get to do it all over again.
@@raetekusu1 At some point in the fight i just gave up on healing and just raise/bubble my party because the thing would just keep chain hitting for more then their max health
@@randumo24 He actually recovers his entire health if you leave, but I played only the original FFXII, don't know if they changed anything in the remastered versions.
Torture
This chart shows that HP in Final Fantasy is like vanity sizing in fashion. Yeah, the monsters in the later games may have insane amounts of HP, but typically the amount of damage you can do is also scaled up, so except for a few like Yiazmat they are proportionally pretty much the same in difficulty and length of battle! Fun video.
Ff12 unfortunately did not have break damage limit until zodiac age/international meaning max damage capped at 9999 per hit. Big oof for optional bosses
@@IveBeenWithBruma yes but you could multi hit fairly reliably with the right setups so that kinda helped.
@@IveBeenWithBruma and at a certain threshold Yazmat lowered the damage cap to 6999
Oh God I remember that I spent 4 hours to beat that bitch in the original version of FF XII when I was 14 yo
@@IveBeenWithBruma But in TZA you can hit him 30k with berserker log hp and the best gun. But yeah, hard as fuck.
I wanted to tell that ffx had the most satisfying amount of subquests among all ff's but that drunk chocobo always gives me painful flashbacks. 😭😭😭
I don't usually bother with it in my replays. You don't need to have Tidus' weapon to beat anything. You NEED Rikku's & Wakka's, as they are the clear best characters in the game. Auron can totally serve as a replacement for Tidus in that third spot, since his celestial is infinitely easier to get.
@@randumo24 exactly!! But the completionist in me is so frustrated. Hahaha
Oh god, I hate that so much. I would often just grind malboros and craft a weapon for him rather than do that god forsaken minigame.
that drunk chocobo cost me couple of joystick...and it piss me every single time, when I play that minigame and make me wonder "how chocobo taste" cause I want to rip all feathers and grill it
The drunk chocobo game is kinda easy in my opinion takes me 10 to 15 minutes to do it what stands in my way for 100% is blitzball (yeas I suck) and the thunderplains🙄
I understand that this list is only for the maximum HP of the character, but it needs to be scaled according to the amount of damage your characters can do. It's a huge difference whether your characters can only do 100 damage per hit versus doing 15,000 damage per hit.
Yeah, number of hits at max damage would be suffice for scaling down would be a good theoretical limit.
Sure, have Yizmat crush this list even harder.
I was definitely going to make a similar comment asking for the numbers to be raised to consider inflation
@@maxspecs To be fair, Yiazmat is not really a difficult boss, just a time-consuming one. Especially given the fact that the player can leave the arena at any time and return later and the boss would not recover HP. There aren't too many enemies in the Final Fantasy universe like that. I would say that Omega Mark XII is a much more difficult boss, despite having much less total HP.
That’s true!
ff7 fans: sephiroth has SO MUCH hp
me, a ff12 fan: [laughs in yiazmat]
I like how they kept him somewhat relevant in 7 by matching his strength to your party, and his Seraph form becoming stronger if you used KotR.
Yeah lmao
Tbh the game would have been so much better without vaan or penelo
Lol try every enemy in XIII.😆
Polaris scale yes! I still consider Baltheir the main character.
Chaos had 4000 HP in Origins, but that's probably the least played version of the game. He's got 2000 on the NES and 20,000 everywhere else.
19,751,250 in ffxiv XD
Granted different game entirely but just another hp of his
Emet-Selch: "Remember that we lived"
Kotaku: Why Final Fantasy has a power creep problem.
Safer Sephiroth: "I AM A GOD!"
Yiazmat: "Aww... that is so cute."
Is ok... i still love sephiroth.
Sephiroth is the best villain
Well..nobody ever thought safer sephiroth was stronger than yiazmat anyways.... everybody kept claiming that ultimica, kefka, and cloud of darkness was stronger than sephiroth but going by this video they don't even come close...cept ultimica's final form and it's still weaker than his regardless.
I was concerned when X ended with the normie bosses and XII skipped Yiazmat.
Had assumed that optional superbosses were already being listed, considering Shinryu and Omega were already listed.
Left satisfied.
Cower before Yiazmat, destroyer of afternoons.
He also put in Ultima and Omega from FFX before getting to the optional bosses, and those two are always optional. Except for Ultimate Weapon in FF7
Then your mom comes into your room and turn off the console because you been trying to Yiazmat for an hour plus (non zodiac version)
Sephiroth: "I'm the strongest boss alive!"
FFXII: "Imma end this man's whole career."
Funnily enough he isn’t even the canon strongest boss and is pretty much low-mid compared to others
In reality every boss on ff5 is stronger than sephiroth... even some normal monsters. The worst part is sometimes you get an unexpected boss fight without being able to save and when you die it kicks you back for 2 hours gameplay
@@genericstickman5967 What do you mean canon? He never fights anyone other than the party
Generic stickman Considering even his weakest version is capable of attacking you with an actual supernova, and he has since received several upgrades, I strongly disagree.
@@nakedbeefcake4168 Really now, actual supernova? Even if we decide to go by this ridiculously wanked standard, he's still cute compared to the actual heavyweights. Ulty has control over space-time, ExDeath became one with the Void however short it was, CoD is the embodiment of the Void, and Bhuni is just the flat-out alpha God of XIII's universe. Omega Weapon's around galaxy level, and Shinryu creates entire realms for shits and giggles. And this is without including monsters of the online installments like Promathia and Zenos. Sephiroth isn't even on their radar.
Always thought the XV Adamantoise was such a dull fight. Yeah it has tons of health but it's essentially a stationary mountain you hack at that occasionally hits you back. At least with Yiazmat its constantly attacking and keeping you on your toes
constantly attacking 'with a 5% chance to just plain KO the character, up to 12 hits in a row.' fixed that for ya.
Also XV Adamantoise fight: haha ring go boom
@@Deus69xxx1 exactly
@@goldexp1882 Not anymore...in the latest update in May 2019 you can no longer cast death on it....you have to grind up the killing
@@karentriminio3146 Yeah but Alterna works on it
I'm sitting here thinking "Dang, FFX had so many challenging optional bosses" then Yiazmat rolls up on the screen XD
Screw the stats, I'm here for the music
I love the fact that Ardyn has more HP than most of the final bosses, despite not having any final form 😂
Nice video, but I think you should separate the bosses for each FF series. Each of them has different damage cap, for example FF IX damage cap is only 9999/hit therefore of course the bosses has small number of HP compare to other series. Otherwise this is not fair comparison
I wanted to compare all bosses over time to see the general inflation of boss HP throughout the FF series. Since IX went back to 16 bit numbers the hp values were low. It is not meant to be a fair comparison; there is really no such thing as a fair comparison between different games. It is supposed to be interesting and fun.
@@DataDaft It is definitely interesting to see the comparison across games for fans of the series (at least it is for this fan of the series)... but maybe people might like to see sequel vids some day for some individual games as well? After all, Final Fantasy is all about sequels!!
@@DataDaft guess someone already brough this up, you can just divide those total hp's by max damage the player can cause in a turn (or max in 1 'hit').
Well the original final fantasy XII also had a 9999 cap, took me something like 6 hours to bring down the beast
If you could get actual HP numbers from FFXI and FFXIV, well. You'd see this whole list dominated by them. Pretty sure Savage Shiva would easily top this list. Not sure if Pandemonium Warden would make it or not.
You can actually get the hp numbers for FF14 though. It just requires that you use something that isn't exactly supported by the developers. Otherwise you can just look up an fflogs parse for a fight to see the health number of the enemy. The latest savage boss Shiva has around about 72million health and newer bosses will only go up since the better gear people get the more health bosses need in order to last the same duration.
@@cynthiastarcrossed Ahh. 72 million. I knew that she had to at least be competitive or outright blow most of these out of the water, so yes, she indeed has more than 12's Yiazmat lol. On second thought, though, I bet the highest HP boss in XIV is probably the last boss of Copied Factory because that's a 24-man fight and even with a decent group that fight takes 5 minutes+ with 24 people wailing away at it.
@@Dhalin Engles actually has the highest right now at 90mil HP, the last boss has less because he has more phases where you can't target him.
@@AxleStukov That makes sense. I sometimes feel like the Engels fight just drags on.
Ironically Yiazmat in 14 has less HP than he does in 12.
I got emotional when Emerald Weapon got booted
I hope it will get its revenge in the later ff7 remake episodes and remind people that HP alone doesnt matter ;)
Ah yes, ff12. The best one in the series =] Yiazmat was a slugfest. Casting reflect on your party so it would heal him instead of your party. Interesting boss. Its a shame hes basically gutted in zodiac edition since by then everyone had him mapped out. First experience boss fights is what makes ff12 a good game thats a step above rest.
*Laughs in Absolute Virtue*
Seriously lol, I was looking forward to seeing the mmo bosses but I guess it makes sense not to have them
It only has 66k hp.
Absolute Virtue was hard as fuck because of it's mechanics, including self healing, not due to high health.
FFXI fools cant understand our pain.
I miss AV... sort of.
What about Pandaemonium?
What happened in that game since I left in WoG? Any new Superbosses?
Yiamat took me 8 hours to kill on my PS2, left it overnight and came back to it in the morning lol
Haven't watched the video yet but there are multiple ff11 boss that originally took 24 hours of a party of 18 to fight them. One was 36 then they nurffed it and made it like 20 because media made a big deal about it. These bosses were not for the every day player they were for the most elite.
@@ericmeiring2512 there are a few I was on Fairy server and our LS took turns in and out of alliance.
8 hours including failed attempts i assume. My first time took me around 2 hours then i died when he was low hp then i tried it a second time and killed him so took me 4 hours total
You must have a pretty nice gambit set that can sustain the party overnight
@@wetskunk8108 Yeah i did i research all of the guides on gamefaqs and forums posts back then and tournesol on vaan really helped
The numbers keep going higher but the games keep getting easier.
i mean if u want u can try beating ff12 gambitless
Depends on what you consider "easy" and what you count as a main series game. There's stuff in the MMOs that are very challenging.
Currently playing Ff12 and gosh it's hard. I'm in the final part of the game and I'm about to give up. I've played every ff before
12 and 13 would definitely argue against that. 10 was a cakewalk.
FFVII Remake on Hard without a guide is quite the challenge. On Normal it's kinda easy though. Hard with help from the internet also only has a few roadblocks.
Woohoo! FFIX! Show us what you got!
..oh.
Oh, yes, the Optional Bosses! Surely, this is the.. oh.
[laughs in yiazmat]
Lol, yeah, I was expecting at least ozma to show up but NOPE!
Still, one of the best FF.
Necron show up tho.. for a moment
The most hp in 9 is 65535, even for Ozma. This meant they were shorter but more brutal fights.
Damage output from the party in 9 was also lower. A best case scenario for 1 character's turn of offense in 9 is basically 2 hits of 9999 (possibly AoE hits but still.) That's nothing compared to the other FF7 and later games with their several hit limit breaks and their higher damage caps. Boss HP didn't NEED to be as high to be comparably long.
I say Ultimecia. She’s the only one who nearly compressed her entire universe, had magic on par with Kefka & intricate planning skills that spanned decades into the past (and future). Her loathing for others was understandable because she was presumed to be evil even as a innocent child just because she was born powerful. She was her own downfall but she came so close.... she may seem like plainly beautiful evil woman but there’s so much more to her.
She didn’t need to be in the limelight, like a true villain she waited until SHE wanted the curtains to be drawn.
Makes me proud to be one of the ones who killed Yiazmat.
All Cactaurs do an even 1,000 damage. This implies that all HP values are universal. That means that this power scale is PRETTY LEGIT.
Farming Long Gui just to get that final trophy was the best way for me to appreciate the FF13 battle system.
Okay but can we talk about how SMOOTH that transition was from FFV to FFVI musically?! That was so heavy
You skipped FFXI and FFXIV which both have their own iconic fights. Why?
3:36 Cheap move Bahamut, cheap move
he pulled a price is right move lol.
fun fact, the PSP version of Chaos... has 20'000 HP and Cure 4s a lot... have fun with that.
I did a lot of fun smh
@Goddess Shadow I agree to that man shit was real smh...
So, he spam casts Curaja/Curaza a whole lot? Freaking hell.
The Keyblade of Destiny yeah he does in the psp version at least with 20’000 hp its ANNOYING, not HARD but annoying.
Goddess Shadow Feral Chaos is a prick... like 128’000 hp?
that said i beat him with Lightning solo, no Iai Strike build either, she can be that good.
The entry for Neo ExDeath is incorrect. Neo ExDeath had four sections with their own HP amounts and all four sections had to be defeated in order to defeat him. The back section alone had 60,000 HP; the other sections had 55,000/55,000/50,000. You would have to add all four up for his total HP, which would come out to 220,000 HP.
at the end of the video u shouldve showed the finished chart of bosses considering most bossss aren't shown due to their lower hp just to see the non shown bosses and what their hp is.
Wait...so why did you not use the appropriate battle music for each game?
FF 14 [raid] bosses are still final fantasy bosses 😛
@KiddPhilly 688 That's not a fact, the games continue to be preserved by Square Enix (along with DQX) and could theoretically continue indefinitely. It's no reason to not count them, especially considering the online games are the absolute kings of boss encounters.
Look up things like Absolute Virtue in FFXI or the Ultimate raids in FFXIV.
@KiddPhilly 688 Life isn't worth counting because one day you will die so lets just ignore it??????... about the money spent on those online games I can confidently say HOW ABOUT THOSE COUNTLESS DLCs NOWADAYS? I'm not a fan of either systems, they exist because apparently there is demand.
Garland VS Yiazmat is like Cloud vs Ruby Weapon in Oney Plays parody video.
Garland: "Nah, he just looks big, I'll show him! Oh s*ht..."
FF: how many HP you want!?
BOSS: YES
I noticed no one mentioning this but, if we want to be accurate, in the SFC & SNES versions of Final Fantasy IV Zeromus, thanks to a HP refill script triggered after losing 46,000 or more HP, actually has 110,000 HP. The only way to get around this script is to use reflected magic, because the script is triggered, like most of Zeromus' actions, as a counterattack action to whatever you do, but the way FFIV was coded back then didn't exactly have an answer for what happens if you just bounce spells off yourself to hit something, because as far as the programming was concerned it treated reflected spells about the same as though Zeromus had cast them on himself, thus counterattack scripts never triggered, and thus no counter-Nukes/Viruses/Weaks, and more importantly no HP refill, therefore you effectively only had to deal with half the intended HP _(This also works with any other bosses with counter scripts too, like Asura, Rubicante, Pale Dim, and Ogopogo, and the Elemental Archfiends fights, since they also have an HP refill script as well to simulate their intended 100,000 HP, and it also allows you force the fight to stay in the Scarlimiglone [Milon Z] phase the whole time, because, surprise, the swapping to the next fiend is, you guessed it, a counterattack script)._ Of course, if you wanted to nerf his Big Bangs, you still had to throw a spell, attack item, or the Crystal at him again at just the right time to force his magic power to crater in response when he did a counter-Nuke, otherwise, as the programmers realized, a counter-Nuke just before a Big Bang would pretty much be guaranteed quad-9's due to the magic power ramp-up he does in the lead up to a Big Bang _(symbolized by the shakes)._
Now, the DS version of Zeromus was straight up 110,000 without such a script needed, so you had to fight the whole shebang, plus I believe the programmers figured out all the Reflect cheese of the SFC/SNES version, so that doesn't work so well in the DS version either.
Necron: what about me?!
FF8 ultima weapon: silence mortal!
I love how challenging the boss battles are sometimes, but them having like 65k max makes them all too easy
I lol'd when IX tried to show up and everyone already on the list was like "Why are we waiting here doing nothing? Who's next up?" 😂😂😂
Sadly all ff9 bosses were low on HP and Necron was a pushover if you've faught all the optional bosses, lol.
LIke Hades actually starts fucking sweating when you roll up having taken out Ozma LOL.
But real speak, it's not the amount of HP in 9, it's how well you can combat the bullshittery to inflict enough damage before being killed. Screw Ozma's ATB, at least there's one way to counter it.
So Yiazmat is the strongest optional boss it seems. I think Omega or Ultima weapon from FFXV should be on this list. Even the ring of Lucil didn't work on it and my thumbs hurt from bashing the attack button so much. He was SO hard to beat.
Also, isn't Ozma missing from this list?
The FFXV Adamantaimai was missing, at level 99 with Arcane Spectral Chorus and Ultima weapon for about 1 hour and a half
And then you realise with the Ring of Luci that you can insta kill him lmfao
It's there at the end of the optional bosses section. It just loses out again in the all bosses sections.
Aight, but where the online Final Fantasy mobs at? Pandamoneum Warden and Absolute Virtue were crazy, and they were before level cap was raised to 99
You could also have one of these scaled to max damage to show which is hardest!
Yeah and pistols are shootings some clouds to the ground because why not
Max damage is very subjective to weapons and situations in a lot of cases. For example, sure you can do 99,999 damage in FFX. However, Penance's resistance and defense is so high that you aren't coming anywhere near that even with max attack and crits without the celestial weapons.
I think as to how to really say as to which is the hardest comes to a lot of things, HP, attack, defense and the magic and skills the bosses use. They get really annoying with using 7 status effects in one turn.
@@randumo24 Yazmat resists all elements and is imune to all status effects
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt he also reduces the damage cap for your characters once his health gets low enough down to 6999, he likes to spam reflect so you can accidentally heal him, and until the Zodiac Version of the game there was no damage cap breaking mechanic
I didn't realize optional bosses were coming at the end so I was really confused when Yiazmat was skipped. I waited the entire video for him to absolutely shame the rest of the list.
Video: *breaks down hp cap for all main title FF's.
FF11&14: *Immune to Scan*
FFXIV bosses have HP in the tens of millions
Pretty sure Shiva Savage has ~75 million HP
Check wow bosses
Yiazmat : i'm about to destroy this whole ranking
I love how bahamut just completely pulled a "the price is right" and just went 57,001hp
Y’all skipped XIV 😳😤😤😤
When a non-final; non-optional boss makes the Top 10 [Orphan phase 1]
Good choice to leave out the MMO entries in the series lol
It would have been cool if after all the bosses were on the list it had scrolled down so we could see them all. The only time we even saw ff9 was Necron half way though the video at the bottom of the list of just final bosses
Omega Weapon from VIII is the very boss that brought me to the series.
how you start game at boss? give code please! I can’t beat NORG
Yiazmat took me 4-5 hours on the USA version where you cap at 9999 and when you hit the critical stage it drops to 6999, you only do this once in your life, believe me did this once and I don't intend to repeat.
Same here XD
I suspect this list would be even crazier if the MMOs were factored in
I don't play 14 so I can't say anything about that, but if you wanna include the two MMOs, FFXI's highest HP NM at the moment is Mireu at between 7 and 8 million HP.
The Dynamis [D] wave 3 bosses have 2 million HP each.
FFI-FFXV but FFXI and XIV are missing.
Bcs those are the multyplayer ones
Multiplayer shouldn't matter he could do the main story bosses
Couldn't care to list the worst games I bet.
FFXV too isn't presented.
Man Vercingetorix was a monster to fight. So tight in how you had to respond to keep up with all of his bullshit while still making progress on damage. Yaizmat thankfully isn't super hard, just super long and requires some particular setup if you wanna afk it. In the pc version with some dedicated setup, was able to kill it in about 10 minutes afk which wasn't bad, thank you speedup and the job board changes.
::Sees FF10 Optional Bosses:: Those were optional?
By watching this you realize how many millions (billions?) in damage you had to make in FFX to complete it.
Aeronite from FFXIII LR has more hp than Yiazmat when fought at its best but not bad
You mean on Hard Mode inside a Chaos Infusion. The Chaos Infusion (btw nice masochism) isn't really one of Aeronite's stats so I think 38.5mil is enough.
everytime i thought i defeat Ultimecia , she suddenly talked and comeback as another form LOL
You should add FFXI and FFXIV, just for the lol. ^^
Orphan: Exists
Technoblade: I'm about to use self defense
You skipped xiv, shiva in e8s currently has 72 million hp.
probably skipped 14 cause it's an MMO so things kinda have to keep on scaling higher and higher for the new content, can't make a new expansion with no new gear to get yknow
I didn't do online games because boss values can change and they can add new bosses.
@@DataDaft Seems like just an excuse to be lazy.
I KNEW those FFX monster arena bosses were gonna take some time to rank
List is inaccurate, does not include FFXI or FFXIV
Title is therefor clickbait and false
cause they're an MMORPG game
@@SoulEaterOnMLBB just cuz its a mmorpg it still has bosses which have a sh#t ton of hp why else would you need a full scale raid party
i agree with you
Now you should do an HP comparison for all the *regular* units from the FF games XD
I wasn't aware Sephiroth was so thick. When I beat him the first time it was damn near effortless and I didn't need to switch parties, so I really wasn't aware he had so much HP.
It's safer seph max meaning you did all the optional stuff. Seph get's more hp depending on certain conditions being met.
@@Rockernalleyb Using Knights of the Round during the final Jenova fight is the big kicker.
The latter day HP inflation goes to prove how much of a throwback FF9 is (capping out at 65535 for Quale).
13 : I am the king.
10 : Ima end this mans whole career.
12 : Hold up B 1 T C H.
13 & 10 : NANI!!!!
Funny thing is the 13 trilogy still wins case Yismant was dethroned by a boss in lightning returns lol.
“Farewell to a legend” Y’all know what I’m talking about if your true FF fans💯💯💯😤
I am saddened you skipped 14. It might be an MMO but it's still an FF game and part of the series. Main character is the warrior of light just like the originals.
@Nick Tapalan Which is why you only focus on the (current at the time) endgame enemies/bosses :)
they are not main games. Final Fantasy doesn't even have any continuity between entries
@@aeroga2383 Any numbered title is a main game in the series, mmo or not.
No, MMOs and the regular games are NOT the same things. The sequels should have been included, but not the MMOs. They are a completely different beast due to being meant to be played by multiple people, and don't even have a real major story to them that people care about.
@@inkoromana Never said MMOs don't have a story, but people don't play MMOs for the story and the games aren't focused around the story.
The point of most missions in the FF MMOs is to gain powers or equipment. You aren't playing the game for the storyline, it's just part of the game that you can completely ignore. The main FF games completely revolve around the plot. Only the post game content and some side quests don't focus on plot.
Having a storyline is not the same as the storyline being the focus or being important.
Shame you did not do FFXI. You can find most boss HP's on the relevant wikis. You could likely even get someone to parse a few of the ones not online. I think the current endgame optional bosses, the Disjoined, have about 20 million HP a piece. Would be neat to see a breakdown based on each games' damage cap.
No, MMOs shouldn't be included. They are a completely different story from single player games. It would be lame to put XI & XIV.
@@randumo24 Every game is a different story, the MMO characters are canon.
@@randumo24 Title of the video _is_ *"Final Fantasy Strongest Bosses Over Time (FFI - FFXV)",* though.
However, the video description does however mention of the exclusion of these types of games. It's a shame, but at the same time, all things considered, these games are "still going", with new challenges and bosses being included, so making a list for them now, would be obnoxious, as the information will be outdated shortly after.
Higher HP doesn't mean stronger..
I realize that. Read the description.
@@DataDaft hey mate, I agree with Emanuel. Why not just change the title? I imagine others will raise this critique as well. Interesting video tho
@@jaredashleyeliezergrant187 It is a valid criticism. HP tracks overall monster power better than any other objective stat so "strongest" is reasonable statement, but I agree "highest hp" would be more technically accurate. From a practical standpoint, it is sometimes worth trading some specificity in the title for a more engaging, shorter one.
@@DataDaft It could be "Toughest", so that there could be a "Strongest" list for max damage a boss can deal.
These stats are from the Final Fantasy Origins game. It used to be WarMech had the highest HP with 2200, Chaos was 2000, Tiamat 1000, Kraken 800, Kary/Marilith 600, and Lich 400 in the original nes release of the game.
Ah yes, I see that the 11 and 14 were left out as per usual, love to see both titles treated as 2nd class no matter how well they succeed.
I imagine if XI and XIV were added, the top tiers would just be littered with Absolute Virtue, Pandemonium Warden (and their level 119 successors), and every 24-man, Baldesion's Arsenal, (Savage), and (Ultimate) boss fight.
Would be kinda underwhelming, tbh. XI and XIV could do with their own video just for them in this style.
I wouldn't say they were treated as 2nd class, most of the time they were left out because they're MMORPG and the power level in MMO are vastly different from single-player game. They are, still one of the best FF title in recent memories and I don't think anyone would want to argue with that.
Penance be like "Fuck yeah, I'm the strongest!"
Yiazmat: "That's cute. Hold my Elixir."
Here because I want Switch versions of FF1-6, none of that 3d shit, original pixel graphics.
Not on Switch....yet lol. Hopefully. But you have the emulators to be thankful for. On 5 right now.
@@u.r.t.v.unit6672 The Emulators For Each Final Fantasy Game Are Godsend
Well i want it 3D
The actual boss with higher HP potential is aeronite on lightning returns if fought on Hard Mode chaos infusion, can go over 50 mil HP as well and is fought by lightning alone
Aeronite from LR FF XIII have more health than Yiazmat even on easy difficulty and on hard i think he is the one having highest HP out of all the FF bosses. Still good video
Aeronite has 8million hp, yiazmst has 50million
@@jTyloo Aeronite max HP has 57,75 millions.
@@groudonvert7286 , How? Aeronite have 38.5m in game data.
@@eliasfranca7173 Chaos Aeronite
@@groudonvert7286
I do not think it is correct to use Chaos Infusions in these cases, after all it is a mechanic that makes enemies stronger in an unnatural way, but your argument is valid.
So there is a little Wrong here in this Video. Zemus and Zerumus are to separate bosses. BUT the Zerumus fright may only have 65HP BUT there is a Refill Script that happens if a Direct attack hits him at around 20k HP left. So really the fight has 121k health. Same with the Archfiends fight. First half is 65k hp and once you burn through that you have have to burn though another 65k health So arch field for FFIV should be 130k HP. Its because the SNES had a Limit to the Max HP.
Bold choice to skip the MMOs, being some of the most popular games nowadays.
vbarreiro I imagine they would just rocket to the top of the list, since a lot of them are made to take down with 8-24 players, so their HP would all be in the millions and up.
@@eronamanthius the funny thing, Yiazmat would once again be in the top levels if they included XIV. He's a 24-man boss, and has health for days just like in XII.
The fight itself isn't that hard, but it's once again a fight against the health bar. At least when you fight him, you have 23 other people there helping.
Aaron LeFebre oh you’re right I forgot about that fight yeah he had crazy health in that one too lol.
Nothing beats FFXI - Absolute virtue during the level 75 cap era, 36hrs of like 50+ players life wasted and it still stand laughing at everyone of them. Priceless.
Crisis Core FFVII Minerva should be there 20,000,000HP
In case you didn't notice, only the main games were on the list. None of the sequels or anything else was on there.
he didnt count the sequel rewatch the video...
Meanwhile Absolute Virture and Pandy Warden are like "They had to omit us because we would crush every boss on this list before the nerfs"
Ah yes yiazmat takes 4 to 5 hours to beat but still worth it
Why is every one forget Minerva from FF7 Crisis Core with 10,000,000 HP ? (or 20,000,000 in Hard Mode)
yiazmat always hits hit kill and has 500000000 life, and people still say that the FFVII boss is the most difficult of all ....
I can't believe the one took hours to defeat is the highest HP among the others - Yiazmat
Should feel proud myself to able defeat it.
