Strangely, I'd say the easiest and hardest Squaresoft fights I've done were the same battle. In Threads of Fate's final boss, I was getting slaughtered until I realized that Rue could block when he had his hat off. After I realized that, I had already figured out what to do with all the other transformations, so the boss became a complete joke.
