Omega
The Weapon (ウェポン, Wepon?), usually named Ultima and Omega, may be either biomechanical or entirely organic. They have been a main feature in the series since Final Fantasy VI. They are generally very powerful and have massive amounts of hit points, sometimes numbering in the millions, and are usually presented as powerful optional super bosses. In many cases, they are even more powerful and harder to beat than the main antagonists.
Weapons have appeared in the first Final Fantasy of Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy: Unlimited, and Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales. WarMech, a powerful and rare enemy from the NES Final Fantasy I, shares characteristics with Weapon (and is paid homage as a boss, "Guardian," optional in Final Fantasy V and non-optional in Final Fantasy VI).
'Omega' and 'Ultima' weapons are more often than not side quests that can be followed late into the games. Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VI are two of the few titles in the series that breaks this rule as the player has to fight the Ultima Weapon in order to progress the story. Ultima Weapon will generally drop (or lead to) one of the most powerful weapons available in the game. Final Fantasy XII varies slightly, with Omega MK XII dropping a medallion that, when sold with two others, allows the player to buy one of the most powerful swords in the game through the bazaar, while Ultima is the name of one of the most powerful summons in the game.
In the US version of Final Fantasy VI on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (released as Final Fantasy III), the name of the 'Ultima Weapon' was translated to 'Atma' in English. Final Fantasy X-2's character viewer reflects this factoid when viewing the monster 'Ultima Weapon'. In Final Fantasy X, the strongest boss in the monster arena, Nemesis, is a color-swapped version of Ultima Weapon. Other distinctive Weapons besides Ultima and Omega can be found in Final Fantasy VII. Another Weapon-type enemy named Paragon appears on the 100th floor of the Via Infinito optional dungeon in Final Fantasy X-2. Final Fantasy Tactics A2 introduces a mechanical monster called the 'Upsilon', which bears a resemblance to the Omega Weapon in both stature and name.
