All suggestions welcome. Looking for exact spelling of enemy names, what game it is featured in, and why it is so annoying. All humour welcome.

(Please leave your egos at the door. If you can't use grammar or punctuation you will be frowned upon.)

Let's start the ball rolling with one that's been getting on my nerves (putting it very lightly).

Gimme Cat (FF IX) - The areas with the Grand Dragons is best for levelling up, I believe, because you can kill and rack up exp quicker than the Yans etc. It would be the ultimate spot, if not for these little shits. They are mega-ugly, make the worst sound in the entire game (worse than fairy battle music), sport disgusting googly eyes and have a set of teeth that is somehow bigger than their face. The only salvation is their big money drop, but money is so easy to get you will soon find yourself hating these little fucked up cat things with wings (and more wings, but maybe these are meant to be ears).

And...is that a rat hanging from its tail?

When it asks for a Diamond, I love nothing more than to steal two items quickly before running away on its dumb ass. Poetic justice at its finest.

Kefkas Army, when you enter Narshe. ff6

I hate bolt bugs. ff8

Marlboro's from FF4 OMFG there annoying

Great Malboros in FFX.

Why? You always get ambushed, and it's nearly always instant death unless you have someone with First Strike who can run away like a little sissy girl.

Grim Locks - FF9 - Desert Palace.

Omega Weapon in Artemisias Schloss (i don't know the English Name. The Dark Castle at the End of Game) (Final Fantasy VIII).

This -9999HP Bolt (Called Lichts�ule) alone is ok, but not everytime...

Marlboro's from FF4 OMFG there annoying

Agreed.<br>Marlboros in all the Final Fantasies are annoying.<br>Anything that can cause that many negative status effects at once -> D:

And it's only worse if they get first attack.

AND IF THEY START OFF WITH BAD BREATH.

:(

Has anyone even tried to beat a Dark Aeon without using Yojimbo's Zanmato? I always end up giving in to the temptation of the Uber-Instant-Death-Expensive-Spell. I'm aware of strategies that exist for their termination, but they never seem to drop [Ribbon +3 Empty Socket] armour very often. Tedious doesn't even begin to describe it. Then there's that Penance freak...omfg. Seriously.

The Marlboro (sp?) in FFVIII was nothing but a pain in the ass. :(

These threads seem to pop up every once in a while. I think it's generally agreed that most forms of Malboros are a big pain.

Also, I would say generally most undead enemies that use instant death spells or other enemies that use cheap attacks / constantly pester your party.

Agreed with the above...Marlboros do suck. FFVIII was particularly annoying.

I also think all those crystal incarnations in FFIX were annoying, but mainly cause you didn't gain EXP for battling them.

In general any enemy that uses a negative status effect constantly is annoying.

Hey Malphregor --- did you know that there's actually a spot where you can fight those Grand Dragons without having to deal with those shitty Gimme Cats? Yeah --- if you go to the area above where the married moogle couple is (the one with the ladder that they warn you not to climb because the area outside is dangerous), you can fight Grand Dragons on constant as long as you don't wander into the forest area.

Thanks for that. I'll remember for next time ;)

As said many times before, Marlboro is a pain in the ass.

Chupon (FF VI), when you face it in the Coliseum. Only way to take him down is to use Dragon Horn/Dragoon Boots so the character can get the hell away from Sneeze (which he uses constantly) through Jumping.

Actually, the Coliseum battles in general are annoying as you cannot control your characters.

Oh, BTW...


But the good thing is that they don't use an all-version of it, and plus, undead are way too easy to kill.
I'm just gonna take a wild shot here --- you haven't played FFXII yet have you, or if you have, you're not very far in it? You won't be saying this when the undead in that game are kicking your party's ass.

Oh, BTW...

You won't be saying this when the undead in that game are kicking your party's ass.I was referring to the old games. I haven't played XII yet, but I do know that you could target undead in the old ones.

In FFIX, anything that could induce the Virus status was annoying to me.
x_x

Cure + Undead = Not so undead anymore.

Marlboro's from FF8

Oh, you can target undead in FFXII all right, but... oh wait, just never mind. You'll see soon enough.

Oh! I just thought of another one! Yans from FFIX. If you're not prepared, those little suckers kick your ass with that SNORT bullshit! I can't tell you how many times I died if I ran into a group of 3 of those.

Actually, Snort is a ref attack --- that's what the Chupon they were just talking about uses. Well, okay, they call it Sneeze in that game, but same thing...

Any attack that loses a party member permanently from a battle is a total crock. Just like some of the harder FFX battles - the first time Tidus got turned to stone at Anima's Temple, and then got shattered into a gillion pieces, I almost died myself ;)

Oh, you can target undead in FFXII all right, but... oh wait, just never mind. You'll see soon enough.
wtf they're not vulnerable to cure anymore?!

No, it's more like good luck trying to cast it enough to kill them before they gangbang your characters to death...

Oh.

cant stand malboros...(any ff) also, dark aeons are a pain if u plan to fite them without the help of yojimbo's zanmato. also, penance is a pain. (ffx)

Magic Pots. I once didnt have the Elixers to sate them. I attacked by accident and lost a really powerful sword for Cloud... Apocolypse I think... Grrr.

Damn, I used that sucka to master KOTR, triple AP.

fuck Maloboros

fuck Malboros

The worst status attackers of all time. Murderers.

Except maybe for Neo-Exdeath in FFV...remember Grand Cross? Loads of status effects to every character. Could destroy even the best team instantly if you're unlucky.

Yea, I have to agree with anybody who's said malboros. Those little bastards give you status effects out your ass. Such a bitch.

I liked getting into a fight with them in FFX and busting out yojimbo to try and get him to do that decapitation move.

The most annoying enemy in all of FF has to be the Marlboro, appearing in FFIV-X. The version in FFVIII has to be the most lethal. Marlboros on the field in FFVIII are like boss battles.

Yeah, but unlike an actual boss --- Malboro / Quistis Degenerator = goodbye Malboro.

What is annoying about Malboros is their bad breath attack. It gets on my nerves

What I find amusing is the FFVII Malboros --- trying to learn Bad Breath for Enemy Skill materia and instead of being a good little Malboro, it just keeps using Frozen Beam on endless.

P.S.: Nice one, Nuclear.

Malboros are bad, no doubt about that. But...another enemy that I find truly annoying are Tonberrys. I hate those little sack-lickers with a passion...but they are just too cute.

Tonberries are perhaps more difficult to beat but I find Marlboros more of a pain to be honest.

I usually run away from both though. ;)

Yeah, Tonberries and Malboros are both a real bitch to fight, but I'd say one of the most annoying FF Monsters are this whole category of monsters in FFIII, that duplicate whenever you hit them. Some of them even duplicate when hit by magic. Luckily the duplicates start at the hp level of the one that spawned it. Still these critters make battle quite tedious... on the bright side, the exp and gil duplicates too, so there was something to offset the annoyance. Plus Shadow attacks, and hence shadow weapons prevented them from duplicating, so once you got a Dark Knight, the things weren't as bad... Still I think the duplicating monsters were the most annoying critters in the FF franchise.

I find Tonberries kind of classic monsters. And about Malboros, with a little lvl up you can beat them in no time ;)

I'm pretty sure Tonberries originated in either VI or VII. I can't remember any before those and my memory is fuzzy on whether or not there were any in VI. If there weren't, then I suppose we can say VII brought us Tonberries, if nothing else. Cactuars were definitely in VI, first appearance, I think. Tonberries, unsure.

I'll tell ypu whats annoying... Imps in FFIV, the little sons-a-bitches hunt in packs of 2-6 and constantly cas't confusion on your entire party untill they run out of MP, so basicly you kick you own ass...

They were definitely in VI Agent, but you're right I don't remember them before that either, unless I just missed it. And I never played III so I'm not sure about that one.

some of the enemies in VI that have an hp loop...
multiple malboros in V
there are a few more that i can't think of atm. anybody with a level spell...especially death. one enemy in VI was casting level 2, level 3, level 4 and i THINK level 5 attacks. i was like damn, this guy is determined, lol. if he gets me, i can't even be mad at him...

Marlboros. They look ugly too.

L.90, tower of fanatics, VI...
Nothing can save you from that bastard once he�s blown away Metior in you face! ...well Ultima can and reflect-magic on your self can.... but he�s so fast!
Note; I�ve died approximatley 5-6 times to that flute playing, pantyhose party pooper! I�m not through that tower yet because of that thing! *growl!* >:E

He is vulnerable to Berserk and Life3 is also useful. If you're playing Advance, though, I'm not sure if the first holds true. I've heard though that the entire game is way more difficult in Advance.

It is, because I heard you can't do the vanish-doom trick anymore.

:(

well... i'm peacefully waking in ozmone plains (FFXII) when a stupid Viper pops up and attacks me.. i hate them.. however they are not the worst... you can get attacked, walk of, the gambits set to heal.... oh look fran used cura... thank you fran...... what the?? oh damn the stupid Elemental, where did it come from? ah man two members downed already... oh dear... game over..... damn elementals.. DAMN THEM TO ELEMENTAL HELL..

Oh, BTW...


I'm just gonna take a wild shot here --- you haven't played FFXII yet have you, or if you have, you're not very far in it? You won't be saying this when the undead in that game are kicking your party's ass.

i totally agree... in barheim passage,, wandering through those neutral bombs.. they leave me alone so i egnore them.... WOOSH.. the fastest dead bones i've ever seen speeds up the steps and attacks me.... then the bombs turn hostile... AARGHHH im gonna wait a bit longer till i go in there again.. :(

...
Hate to pile it on, but was I the only one who threw and brpke 2 ps2 controllers by throwing it at the telly, from dying from all those various types of malboros packed into the lower levels of Giruvegan? One would cast Bad Breath on me, and then 1 character tries to run away as the others are confused + blind + virus, and another malboro comes along and Putrid Breaths me until I scream o_oa

You could use an esper as a punching bag.

Marlboro's from FF4 OMFG there annoying

I hate the marlboros in all of the FF games I play

yeah i hated barhiem passage on the way to zodiark i tihnk...somethin was in there i dunno its late and im fuzzy.But all the undead n etars? e somethin at least...and those orange flans can be a pain if ya aint got blizzara on gambit.Also the red floating things in x in the weapon's cavern.those can kill you at any time.

FFX's Yojimbo, I'd have to say - while he's in your party of Aeons.

Any "ally" in which I'd have to pay to receive help from, esp. in a life-and-death situation, is an annoying enemy to a great degree, in my opinion. Ironically, he's by far my favorite Aeon.

You could throw those damn Malboros in there, too.

...

^ I'd have to agree with you on that. Also, Celia and Lede from Final Fantasy Tactics are worthy of a mention. As well as Ozma in FF9! Argh.

I Hate Malboros
I Hate Saigans
I Hate Bombs
I Hate Those Mechs

any enemie you cant kill in one hit with your maxed out stats and ultimate weapons... slows things up

bombs are funny.

the worst is the Malboro. it's best to use a summon because they are immune to most of the effects.

i agree

malboros are pussies in IX

Marlboros in the Sylvan Cave in FFIV. A couple times I would go all the through to near the end with those monsters in the chests�those fucking Marlboros in the upper chests would always kill me. Of course, later in the game after getting stronger I went back and finished them off, that's not the point though. PinkPuffs from the same game are also annoying, probably more so even, for I have fought them over 250 times I believe and have only received two PinkTails for my troubles over that time. I understand the odds of them dropping said item after defeating them are slim, but it's still very frustrating.

always hated the malboros

Malboros in X, bad breath sucks :(

1: thanks for the heads up on FFIV(since i just bought that one)

and 2. i think...no they are the worst in ffVIII...unless you are lucky and Odin comes and slices that fucker a new one

Agreed.<br>Marlboros in all the Final Fantasies are annoying.<br>Anything that can cause that many negative status effects at once -> D:

Ditto*

Magic Urn.... although u got some good exp or ap..... cant remember. I just hated giving up Elixers

All of them are fine to me... BUT JUST UNTIL THEY DON`T KILL ME!

Astos in FFI when you're using a party of all thieves. Non-critical hits do 1 damage to him.

The Ochu's on FFX. They have too much HP for that pont in the game and don't give enough exp.

Also in FFI, Sorcerers. You know, the ones that randomly kill in one hit with their physical attacks.

I remember a part from final fantasy 7 where the malboro's are really annoying. I know a lot of other people are also saying malboros but I guess it is true that they are annoying. If it had the chance it would do something and I think it put toad on your characters, poison, sleep and confusion, or something like that.

The annoying thing about it was how it did that spell, then it would do another spell which healed my characters because of the equipment they had on. It would go in an endless cycle of hurting and healing them. But never killing them.

I can't stand Demonliths from X. These can be as deadly as Malboros if your not prepared for them and they are almost always in pairs. BTW the Malboros in XII were a bit of a let down weren't they. They weren't as deadly as they normally are. I like the challenge of fighting Malboros but they were a bit too easy in XII.

Quadr-Harpy from VI. I was playing anthology at the time, some stupid thing called Quadr-Harpy with three heads always killed me.

Most random encounters when you first go into the crashed Gelnika on FFVII

Gimme Elixir!

Dark Wizards in FFI. They always seem to have 'enemy strikes first' and then all four of them cast fire 3, leaving you with next to no chance of winning

Malboro, Ochu Tonberry, Mindflayer, Demolith, Coeurls and any other enemy that are color swap of them. I always hated enemies who love to spam bad status spells on you. But these take the crown to have some of the worst ones ever made.

Special mention goes to Coeurls. Their Blaster attack mentally scars me ever since X-2.

Yeah, I HATED those things. Especially Queen Couerl.

Bombs on crisis core (easy to kill on normal, but on Hardest setting, you have to use dark thundaga about 8 times just to kill them, or they'll blow up long before you can.)
Infact, any enemy on FF7:CC, THEY ARE ALL ABLE TO STOP AND STUN!!!!
Sorry, but anyone who's played it, knows exactly how many times you have to quick reset or waste a phoenix down just so u don't have to redo it.

Oh and those damn 3 little bubbles in FF7:CC, magic doesnt kill them and neither does normal attacks or limits, and for the life of me, i cant remember how i killed them on FF7 within the northern crator.

The "Movers"? They're pretty easy to kill in FFVII-- I don't think they even attack you. They must have seriously upgraded their abilities for Crisis Core.

They have this move called "delta attack" which i vaguely remember in 7, and it one hit wonders you if you get caught close to it. Against the movers, you can take 1, but anymore and it becomes "dash dash dash dash, hit once, dash dash, limit, run even faster before you take graviga up your ass". Its that bad.

I think it was rarely, if ever used on me because Movers are just too easy to kill. Flash or 4-Hit, or whatever you happen to have in your arsenal-- just wipe em out!

Firstly, why on earth would anyone want to play Crisis Core on 'Hard'? There is absolutely no extra reward for doing so, other than all enemies are super-powered and even harder to kill, so over-inflating your e-peen is about the only reason for doing so.

Second, I remember the Movers being nasty, but, their problem lies in the fact their attack is classed as an 'instant death' attack, so equip yourself with an item which protects against this (I can't remember the name of the accessory in question) makes them easy to deal with.

Not to mention they only showed up during missions and not in the main storyline, so if you die against them it's not like it's game over or anything.

to be honest the movers of FF7 weren't that annoying.

i don't like playing final fantasy 7, walking through mt. nibel, then randomly being attacked by a DRAGON -_-"

those things are just a pain, first time i played FF7 and i randomly got put in a fight with that i thought i could take it, lol, it then wipes me clean out LMAO. remember first timers, don't take on the dragons just yet LMAO

Drekast....

Manipulate ---> Dragon on Mt. Nibel = win.

Manipulate ---> Dragon on Mt. Nibel = win.

true but most first timers don't think that way lol, it had me annoyed because the first time i played FF7, everytime i bumped into a dragon i was like "oh no" then the dragon flamethrower's my butt :(

i spent hours in mt. nibel because of that...

lol

Drekast....

Sure, Marlboros in FF VIII were annoying, but if You'd prepare, You could defeat them quite easily. Fights with Tonberrys also took long, but with good GF compatibility, You could menage.

But Cactuars... All I wanted, was a lot of nice items for auto-hastes etc, but they always kept running away -_- That was annoying >_>
