- ファイナルファンタジーIX-46秒でオズマを屈辱
Completing the friendly monsters sidequest before tackling Ozma offers some advantages: Ozma will no longer be "out of reach", and it therefore becomes possible to hit it with physical attacks. Ozma will absorb Shadow-elemental attacks (and thus be healed by Doomsday) unless the sidequest is completed, which weakens Ozma to Shadow.
Without completing the friendly monsters sidequest Ozma still easy, just use fixed damage attacks like Limit Glove, Thievery, Dragon's Crest, Frog Drop, Spare Change...
The purpose of this video is to show you how quickly you can defeat Ozma, that's why I haven't stolen anything from him either. If we think about it for a moment, at this point in the game, why would I want to steal those items? What good would they be to me?
Physical Damage Bonuses:
‣ Steiner - Bird Killer (50%), MP Attack (50%), Holy Elem-Atk weapon (50%), Holy Elem-Atk raising helm (50%) = 200%
‣ Amarant - Bird Killer (50%), MP Attack (50%), Wind Elem-Atk weapon (50%), Wind Elem-Atk raising accessory (50%) = 200%
‣ Zidane - Bird Killer (50%), MP Attack (50%) = 100%
‣ Freya - Bird Killer (50%), MP Attack (50%), Holy Elem-Atk weapon (50%), Holy Elem-Atk raising accessory (50%) = 200%
Notes:
- Ozma has a unique battle script; when its ATB bar is filling up-i.e. when it is not in the middle of casting an ability-any command the party targets at Ozma will fill its ATB bar up, and Ozma will execute its turn before the player's commands. As you can see in my video i used all the commands while Ozma was casting Flare Star, so its ATB bar didnt fill up.
- Charge! makes all Near Death (yellow HP) party members 'Attack'.
- Ozma's Flare Star deals 50 times each character's level. 99x50=4950
I had all of them with around 5000HP to get them in Near Death status for Steiner's Charge!. I had with the 4 characters Pearl Armlet equiped, this gave them 0 Magic Evasion to ensure that no one evade the attack "Flare Star".
- It was not necessary to be at level 99 to do this damage, even at level 1 they can do 9999 damage if you have a minimum knowledge of the game mechanics. I also had the Excalibur II in my possession, I didn't use it because i didn't need it, what for?
- Small visual bug: After using the ability Charge! the word "miss" appears and Ozma does an evasion animation, both things should not appear, they are a visual bug of the Moguri Mod. I contacted the creator of the mod (Snouz) and hopefully he will fix it soon.
- When trying to escape, some frames of the 'Attack' command animation are skipped, THAT'S ALL!!! (I don't understand why people make up in the comments that running away makes Ozma not attack or something like that... running away only skips a few frames of the Attack command animation, that's all lol)
Ozma was defeated in 46 seconds, counting from the appearance of the ATB gauge to when the final damage has been dealt.
UPDATE!!! (Jun 22, 2024) Humiliating Ozma in 30 seconds ➼ • Final Fantasy IX - Hum... - Hry
when the moogle said "I can't guarantee your safety" it was actually talking to Ozma
Ozma: "I'm in danger!"
100 out of 100 nobles were impressed!
Queen Brahne was not impressed XD
Nice one lol
How much gill for impressing them
@@KillerGothChick Queen Brahne is dead at this point xD
Naild it ^^
This battle has been on my memory card for years waiting for me to finish
I believe in you!
Do it! I felt that way about ruby weapon til i owned him >: )
I had a memory card at the fight to show people how impossible it was. I was showing my brother, and I actually beat it. I was floored! Years, and years later I finally beat Ozma.
Damn hahahahahahaha awesome
Do it. I was in the same spot then I lost said memory card. I’m still not over it.
Ozma: 🔵
Party: 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃🏻♀️
Ozma: ☠️
🥷 🪨 🐁 🤡
Ozma: "lol they are just above half HP, what are these idiots thinking?"
Ozma: 46 second later: "bruh wth?!?"
@@szymon6207 how was this performed lol
@56Tyskie Steiners charge makes all near death allies automatically attack. With lvl 99 and disk 4 best gear letting them hit for 9,999 that means one round of turns will deal 69,993 damage if everyone is in the yellow.
@@The77Voice he's missing Excalibur II so not technically the best gear but getting that weapon is a nightmare
@kirerunte1046 Well, you don't need it to hit the damage cap, so it's not necessary. Would've been neet to see though.
@@The77Voice that's true it does hit dmg cap regardless
Now i want to play this game again, i never knew you can use charge on steiner like that. Love it.
Mene: "Ozma, I can't guarantee your safety" .
Poor Ozma, getting manipulated like that! Literally turning off most of it's script with those auto-abilities/equipment(chefs kiss)!
its*
Wow holy shite😳 I remember beating him back in School days but damn this is fast. I remember recording my fight against him on a VHS that my step mom had her soap operas recorded on.😂 She was so pissed, but it was worth it because I showed my friend the video of me beating Ozma and he hadn't beaten him yet.
lol
Lolol
so cute haha
Good use of Charge! Well thought out.
Plot twist: Ozma is the one that “Can’t escape!”
I just beat Ozma for the first time a few weeks ago. Definitely one of the easier superbosses for a Final Fantasy, but it’s still amazing to see a 1-turn cheese that I would’ve never considered.
Edit: everyone’s saying it’s hard, and that’s fine. I was level 99 and I probably got lucky.
Though it has the reputation of being one (or the) hardest boss of the serie, due to the fact that gamers can't wreck him simply by grinding their team (like in FFVII, where high lvl stats/materia/limits suffice to humiliate the Weapons).
Ozma forces the player to have a good understanding and uses of their equipment and their skills, passive and active, in order to win. It's actualy why I think it's one of the best designed super boss of the series. You can't just spam very powerful attack and healing.
@@IceDarkBen interesting. I didn’t know Ozma had that reputation, but I agree that FFIX has a ridiculously low power cap. Specifically, there are so few multi-hit attacks, which is why something as simple as Charge! is so strong.
@@dracoerrarus4834 I think it can be considered the easiest if you know how its AI works. Because Ozma's reputation as one of the hardest superbosses is well known. You may die due to its first or first and second attacks (Meteor or Meteor + Curse = You probably are screwed)
@@sadrobot5501 Sadly, I didn’t even know bird killer works on it until this video, so I could’ve saved some stress. But I did know about the ore quest, so I can totally understand how going in blind would be way worse than other superbosses.
1. Ozma has a script which enable it to do an extra attack (that make him always do action first before all your character) if you click the action button in the wrong timing, his low health is to counter balance this.
2. He is harder to beat if you not clearing the give the gem side quest. In that case Ozma will be: absorb dark attack, so he use doomsday often to heal (and that skill is a one hit ko for your party btw). Then you cant hit it with a close range basic attack, so this line up is unusable.
Well that basically it script, btw I love Ozma because it is the only place where Phoenix auto revival is often triggered (because Ozma can easily wipe out your party) and I love seeing her sequence.
my favorite FF game. felt like a true fantasy world, the characters were great and the art style was perfection.
Couldn't agree more.
And SO many things to do besides the man story. Playing in 2023. LF to beat the crap out of this guy
No 8 better
@@cantoolnah 8 is trash, i literally hate the train mission. and the draw and junction system, TRASH. its like they were trying too hard to make something new. you just end up drawing every time new magic comes by, what? to use it? no to junction it. its a bad system. and squalls character is super lame. only thing good about ff8 is the music and GUNBLADE
@solisimperium1203 I disagree that it's trash. I quite liked the love story between Squall and Rinoa. Didn't care for all of the new game play, but on whole it's not trash.
I just love these PSX visual battle FX, they look so trippy, FF9 might be the most graphically stunning psx game together with mgs.
Thats great work !! I remember ozma being difficult but i guess i got lucky when i defeated, this was insanely quick
I remember fighting this s.o.b. as a teenager 20+ years ago for ~45 minutes but finally got him. Never realized until years later looking up a strat for a replay and he only had like 55k hp
Friendly animal quest completion making ozma like 10 times easier
55,535 HP, ask me why I know that off the top of my head 💀💀💀
@@Maltozombiewhy do you know that?
@@pedropimenta896 a life of balamb garden academy training wasted ! Meaning I fought Ozma more times than I ever care to admit. That number is burned into my mind, if I had known the strategy to only input commands when he is actively performing an action I would have suffered far less lol.
It took me while and I finally kill him too
I grinded the hell out of final fantasy 1 to find out the last boss only has 2k health. It like a 90’s fighting movie where the bad guy is badass until the end of the movie and he is a wimp
The spiritual power raised the attack range :)
Underrated content! Awesome!
Charge was so under utilized my first time playing. I've done a few normal bosses in like tht but never thought it would work for Ozma. Tht was A1
It's often because the ability is badly explained. When I saw charge description, I though it would force all near-death characters to attack their next turn, at the price of their ATB/turn. Maybe with some hidden attack bonus and the idea of losing no time selecting options, but nothing that busted where you got your characters to all attack as a free action.
@@maxentirunos also you need to give diamond to yan
Else normal attack wont work to ozma
Wasn’t even fully healed when the fight started what an absolute chad 😅
Chad? 🤔
That's just part of the strategy so Flare Star would get their HP low enough
@@zingodoom i never knew
It's in the description
@@selfishteammate You would have, had you simply read the description
I never maxed out characters in FF games, i just made due with what i had and made some dramatic battles. Thats just me though. Ozma gave me hell back in the day. Very impressive taking him out like that.
Ozma is actually stronger if your characters are higher level, the only way to beat the boss is by outsmarting him. Of course in this video it's overkill there haha but the goal is to know the patterns and reflect his attacks etc
thats how i play too. hardly ever grind too
I rarely max out. Usually if you do a bit of grinding in each new area and have the appropriate equipment/abilities the game tends to be fair.
For those who dont know, he not only maxed them out but he went for max stats which are 50 spirit and then as high str as possible for fighters. In order to do that you need to stay at lv1 until the forced battles on Terra where you decide which one will get those exp. After that you level up with the best equipment which gives you bonus stats. And no Ozma is not stronger when you are. This is not FF8 lol.
Making do with what you got def makes the battles way more intense
Wow, I spent ages in this fight and it can be beaten that quick haha. Still, I was so proud when I beat Ozma. I love how they made it a difficult fight but it’s got 55k hp and that’s it, instead of millions like in FFXII
OMG you remind me of that nightmare, my parents got really angry at me because i still playing for 6 hours and i still didn't beat that mofo
Its only tough because it straight cheats. If you input a command at any time other than when its in the middle of its own animation, it instantly gets full action bar and skips the turn order to go before you. Couple that with being strong and occasionally healing for 9999 and youve got a nightmare fight if you dont know what youre in for.
@@misterturkturkle true but back then we are all young and don't what to do, we just sit in front of our tv & ps2 just to beat that mofo for hours and hours.
Great memory tho lol
@@bigbabyy yup. I managed it once, by using Freya Quina Dagger and Eiko. Dagger and eiko were om healing duty, and i noticed that Daggers repeat summon trances didnt get "counterattacked" so i spammed Bahamut, Frog drop, and Freya's 9999-if-you-kill-enough-dragons attack. Took like 2 hours.
@@misterturkturkle dude what? Where's Zidane in this party... 🤔
I remember the first time I beat Ozma. Proud gaming moment. :)
Probably one of the hardest final fantasy super bosses, though i haven’t properly played through final fantasy 9, so I’m not sure how I’d fare against Ozma, but I’ve just so much about it I’m not sure.
It was kinda comparable to Ruby Weapon from FF7, not sure though. Hard to compare.
@@hemang8901 But Ruby Weapon could be cheesed to hell and back. Ozma not so much unless you do something like the video above. XD
Best Final Fantasy in the series.
Agreed ❤
Absolutely agree
And it ain’t 😂😂
The most magical❤
It's a great game indeed, but why did you have your characters run when you use CHARGE!
Call me a Noble. Because I'm impressed!
This is just brilliant strategy and planning. That was fantastic! Well done!!!
Beautiful.
Holy craaap ! This a perfect example of a smart use to any mechanic possible in the game
I guess with this superboss battle you're gonna really have a ball! :D
Ozma is easy "if" you just wanna kill him
Its hard "IF" you steal all the items
Complete friendly foe sidequest+Absorb dark + Ribbon trivializes this fight.
@@bootesvoid1275 How so for the latter one? The first one, I know will let you melee it. Absorb Dark for the Doomsday, but not sure about just Ribbon, as last I checked, it doesn't negate any negative status for this game.
Exactly what I did. I wanted all of his loot so that made it harder as I had to mentally remember his hp and try not to kill him before I could steal everything
@@coldchillin8382 I was toughening it out to not kill it sooner. Funny thing was, I got the Pumice piece and the Robe of lords rather quickly, but the last two took longer. Got the Dark Matter 3rd. Lol.
It's only easy if you grind levels or cheese it. Plying normally it's pretty difficult.
HOLY S%#@! I have to try this! This amount of time is usually how fast MY party would get their asses kicked! New Subscriber!
I was never the player who beats the game with their own rules... I always end it up being completely destroyed or erased from existence with certain bosses
When the battle opens the camera gives a bird's eye view of the scene for a couple of seconds. In that moment, the grass platform looks like a sperm about to meet an egg (Ozma). Given the sheer absurdity of Ozma, I'm sure this was deliberate. It probably holds some greater meaning about life and death.
Holy hell dude, I honestly thought you were just joking around and went back to check it lol... I've beaten this game 3 times and never noticed that
This is legit.
The party is breathing new life into the world.
I fucking love this game.
Kind of related but only that there is more to OZMA then it seems, in the concept art the name is like an acronym O.Z.M.A, so I also wonder if that was intentional.
@@ltdzinger @Zinger3 huh, no. Memories are a big thing in ff9 as you know. Ozma is a forgotten eidolon of Terran origin as suggested by Mene's words, the eidolon wall nearby, and by the fact that it drops pumice for the Terran eidolon Ark. It's form was lost as the crystal degraded and the memories of it dissipated. while I won't argue with the notion that defeating ozma breathes new life as the last connection to terra is destroyed, ozma is more than a simple metaphor for that alone
FYI this can only happen if you do the friendly monster side quest...and hoping it uses flare star..or meteor misses
Just saw your video on reddit yesterday and now I’m here (youtube algorithm is weird)
Damn, this really impressed me D:
When you finally get to that point in a Final Fantasy game when you’re consistently hitting for 9999, the real fun begins 😈
how many attempts did it take for Ozma to open with flare star instead of meteor or doomsday?
Damn, Steiner for the WIN!
i had a hard time fighting ozma. i chose to use Zidane Garnet Amarant and Vivi for my team with a combo of return magic and steal with shadow absorb and defense and holy guard. i had to just hope he used Doomsday a bunch
I’ve beat him twice. Both times I got lucky from a doomsday and all four of my party members triggered trance. Only way I’ve won. Watching this makes my high school self very sad haha
I beat him with every character. I could never get Zidane with 9999 damage without trance because his mug ability requires you to steal 999 items in the game or some shit. Freyas Dragon Crest does 9999 damage if you kill 99 dragons.
That bgm and sfx brings back memories in those days ahhh 😌
I tried so many times. This was one of like 3 bosses final fantasys whole franchise had for me that caused real rage.
So this is a power of love and friendship, huh
what was the point of fleeing during mid fight??? does it shorten the attack animation? or help in other way???
I miss the journey that the boss theme takes you on. It's so well-orchestrated.
Very cool tech
You're a legend
Wow this remaster is extremely high def.
Well the textures and sprites had always been created at a decent resolution but the PS1 always outputs it at a downgraded 240p resolution. For some odd reason Square Enix decided to release FFIX on the PS1. Keep in mind that exactly a year later Final Fantasy X was released on the PS2.
I love FFIX but it is darn shame knowing what could have been on a PS2.
Tfw ozma’s opening sequence and first attack animation are longer than it takes to kill it. >.
Do you change the graphic?? I dont remember it was so good!
Dang... it took me 16 tries to beat this guy. 8 the 2nd time. That side quest really makes it easy, huh...
Genius
THIS IS SATISFYING TO SEE
Wow that was interesting…
i love that game !
46 second fight, 40 seconds of waiting. 👌
Clever trick.
This game was filled with tricky moves, i never knew what was charge for, nor that frog stuff, thievery, that 1 hp trick etc...
Damn...
Pretty sure there are at least a thing or 2 i'm still missing
ozma can be quite fun. Sometimes you die in 10 seconds due to RNG if your build isn't amazing, other times you can kill ozma before anyone even dies. With nearly the same skills and equip. Just happened to me. Charge helped me but surely wasn't planned as well as this videos.
Not once have I ever been able to defeat Ozma. 😭
Dark absorb gear and just put in the leveling
@@PeaceOwlGaming I did that but for some reason the dark absorb armor didn't seem to work. That or it'd summon meteor and kill my party instantly. The game has never been kind to me lol
After 20 years I still was never able to beat this guy. I have killed everyone else but Ozma
Have you killed friendly yan?
The only thing that made that fight needlessly hard was try to steal a rare item during that fight is mad frustrating
lmao, well played man GG
This new version on the switch, can you get the excalibur sword, I think there are two versions of this sword right. One you need to get to the memoria place within 12 hours? I want to get into it again but this time limit thing is bothering me. Is there anyway to make this easier on the new version? I’m planning to get it on switch.
I don't know if it will work on that version, but the easiest way in the past has been to mess with your system clock so your play time would roll over to 0 shortly before you go for the sword.
The Switch has options you can toggle on/off including no encounters and 9999 damage, so you can easily rip through the game and get the sword in time
I have played quite a bit FF IX but didn't knew that Ozma could be defeated this easily.
Me neither because I’ve only heard the complaints over the years only if darkkefka, knew about this cheese.
I think it took several resets to get the set-up for this to work properly. It's not really a consistent strategy
@@Max-eg7nx yep
Like vanish then Doom spells in FFVI. There are exploits in some games.
Anything can be defeated easily when your characters are level 99
Which version of FF9 is this? Ps4 or steam?
Wow!
I choose a completey different way to finish ozma Back in the days on PS1.
Never thought you could Beat him in a fair Fight.
i read the description.
You just activated several trap cards while attacking when the opponent had no monsters on the field.
MAXIMUM LIFEPOINT DAMAGE
I thought this is some kind of joke and google , then found it truly has that low max hp
Here from your Reddit post. This was genius hahahahaha
Glad to know you liked this :)
Ozma is supposed to automatically get a turn after every one of your character's actions, I thought
If you put in your commands while ozma is attacking this wont happen
The only four commands were inputted during the FlareStar animation.
Charge! makes all party members at critical hp attack so the final 3 attacks are not actually command inputs.
So that's 6 attacks doing 9999 each and Ozma only has 55k hp.
No, Ozma automatically gets a turn if you input a command while it's ATB bar is filling but if you select commands while Ozma is in the middle of taking it's turn, then it won't read them.
It doesn't always cast Flare Star first though, does it? Unless that can be manipulated too?
Flare Star, Doomsday or Meteor.
So the key to victory is pretending to flee ;D
The classic Joseph Jorstar start!
looks like a ffix perfect save file in the making.
I assume you also have excalibur II?
It wasn't equipped but he can get it if his time goes over 100 hours lol
I always though the design of this things was hilarious just a big demonic marble 😆
Ball of Doom lol
is that a remake? graphics look stunning 😮
That's funny ^^ Great setup. Level 99 is way too much for me to accomplish. I think mine are about leve 80.
There is a ball ???
Killer lvl 99
Max abilities.
I got alot of grinding to go!
Any tips for grind spots or styles?
Grand Dragon or Yan
@@tookae123 ok. Thanks ill Google locations
@@TruMaverick grand dragon dies very fast if you use quinna's "lvl5 death" magic. Takes less than a minute to kill it
@@miorioff Nice Excellent strat i will check it out!
How did you get thier stats that high? I have used the best gear possible and leveled to 99 and they are no where near that high
Why/how were they trying to flee?
The evil jawbreaker is defeated.
Charge!
Am i lucky for beating Ozma on my third try on my second full playthrough? cause i surely feel dumb after seeing this one XD
Mate, I've never understood how the attack "charge" works 😅
I always need to steal can’t see myself using this method
I remember not being able to melee him..
What version of the game is this?
Why does amarant not have 9999 hp o.o?
I've beaten this boss when i was 10 years old or more. I don't remember how I did it, but I did it.
Holy crap.....
"Superboss"
Ozma: Can't escape
did they weaken the boss on the newer ports? or we just don't know the technique back then on PS1?
Nah it's the same boss. He always had low Hp I think his hp is around 55k so six 9999 attack would kill him. It's his A.I that's make this boss hard.
iirc, Ozma goes into a low-HP mode, where he casts Curaja on himself alongside his usual devastating attacks. This means the fight can feel very long, and it’s straight-up impossible if you can’t clear the damage threshold.
@@dracoerrarus4834 correct, his hp is not a problem (the most are the friendly yans with 65k), but the countering every hit with 9999 curaga and lack of multi-hit attacks.
entonces, auto+ huir + combate automatico?
Why the attempt to escape?
Moral of the video: Charge! is stupid OP.
I gave Ozma all the buffs I could and still beat him. I went through the FFs lately, and tried to buff all the bosses with everything I could for the most challenge.
I remember beating him and it taking at least an hour with one dedicated healer and a secondary backup healer/fighter. All this time it had less the. 60k in hp😮💨
Well I love fight Ozma in a hard way: In level 70-60 ish, 3 people level in multiplied 5, without doing the ore side quest, no one deal full damage beside Freya dragon crest, not care for the script, and no one use a shadow absorb item (just 50% down) 😉 The fight will be full of prayers and counting that Phoenix auto revival are triggered 😆
