FF3j

hands down. I'll use the last area of the game as an example, you enter an area with no save points, all teh random monsters are REALLY REALLY NASTY, you fight 4 bosses in each corner of this large area, any of which could have been the last boss and you'd have been satisfied (alot harder than Kefka or Sephroth...) then you can fight the last boss which is REALLY NASTY.

I was lucky, early in the game I found that by making my charaacters black belt they'd gain more KP when they gained levels and almost the entire game I leveled like this and during the last battle I discovered I could change equipment in battle without spending my turn so I eqeuipped 2 shields and healed, then 1 shield and attacked, then shields and healed (yes I was down to 1 character in the the last leg of the battle.)

anyone FFT gets 2nd place for the reasons listed above in other people's posts. I'm currently finishing up FFX, the bonus bosses are nasty but Anima is worse than KoRT. 99,999 damage with it's normal attacks, in FF3j you had no cheap tricks like that. FF2j wasn't so hard, FF4 FF5 and FF6 were actually pretty easy despite a few hard areas, FFTa I'll not even go into (way to easy), and while FFVII had some nice bonus bosses most of the game wasn't to hard. I still haven't played FFIX and I'm only halfway through FFVIII so I can't say much about those, O.K. yes I can, what I played of FFVIII was so easy I was bored to tears on the random encounters. Yeah as much as I love the suiken Densetsu series FFA really doesn't count. Am I leaving anything out, oh yeah my first RPG, MQ, that one was easy to.

Optional Bosses

It's probably difficult to make a decision when you include the Optionals- pretty much all FFs have at least 1. In my case, Emerald has almost brought me to tears in the following manner:

3 days of leveling up materia and getting ready: I decide I'm going to kill Emmy without using KotR, because it's too cheap.

5 days of humiliating defeats from Aire Tam Storm:
I find out that you can lower the damage it does by dequipping materia. I do so.

About 2 Months Later: I decide to hell with honor, I'm going to beat him the boring cheapass way. I cast KotR. Repeatedly. About 8 times. I mimic the same.

HE STILL DOESN'T DIE.

Mathemtical/Logical Part of my Brain: Wait a second... 7000 damage times 13 hits... 91000 times 16 KotRs... HOLY CRAP HE'S GOT OVER 5000000 HP!!!!

(Emmy kills me)

FF 10's optionals optionals are pretty nasty too. :)

FF Tactics

I've gotta go with FF Tactics on this one. FF 1 was hard, yes, but the battles in Tactics became mind-numbing after a while. Especially trying to save f$&^ing Rafa on top of Riovanes Castle when she has absolutely no self-preservation tactics. Golgorand Execution Site was a pain in the ass as well; even after Gafgarion was defeated, you're still outnumbered almost 2 to 1. And the 1-on-1 battle against Weigraf *shudder* I don't even wanna talk about that. That mission alone has permanently scarred me for life.
