Profile
Edit
Added by The FavsOmega is a silver steel robot with a round body and four spider-like legs emerging from the sides. It has no head, and the central body is dominated by a large, yellow, pupil-less eye. Its signature attack, Wave Cannon, does heavy non-elemental damage to the party. Omega frequently uses the attacks Earthquake, Flamethrower, and Maelstrom, and otherwise uses technological-themed attacks.
As with other recurring powerful bosses, like Shinryu or Gilgamesh, it is hinted that several of the "Omegas" that appear in the series are actually the same entity across several games, traveling between worlds via the Interdimensional Rift. According to the Urutan-Yensa bestiary entry in Final Fantasy XII, Omega Mark XII was created by an inventor for the request of an unknown patron to defeat some kind of monstrous Wyrm. After giving birth to a brood of Weapons, the original Omega escapes after Farrister and his patron had a falling out. Dissidia Final Fantasy refers to Omega as a powerful machine created by an ancient civilization to destroy another powerful entity, and that it now travels dimensions aiming to complete this objective. In Final Fantasy XIII-2, Omega was sealed away within another dimension due to its power and need to destroy everything and everyone around it.
All this may suggest that the incarnations of Omega appearing across the series may be either the same entity traveling between worlds, or they are shades of the original Omega, as the Final Fantasy XII information on Omega implies, that were sent out to different worlds by the original Omega that created them. Based on Final Fantasy XII stating that Omega was meant to destroy a powerful Wyrm (or Dragon), and Dissidia stating that Omega was created to destroy a "massive power," it may be that Omega's objective is to destroy Shinryu, a powerful dragon that often appears parallel to Omega as another superboss and who also has the power to travel between dimensions. This is somewhat supported by Shinryu's museum profile in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, which mentions that Shinryu travels the Rift in search of Omega.

Omega appears as one of the bosses representing Final Fantasy V. It can be found wandering around B14 in the Depths and can be avoided if the player wishes. It can counterattack with its special Omeguard, which reduces all damage it takes to a single digit for the next attack or two. Its normal attacks are powerful, and include its signature Surge Cannon, which can do several thousand damage to the entire party. It drops the fabled Hero's Shield upon defeat.
Final Fantasy VEdit
Added by The Favs- Main article: Omega (Final Fantasy V)
Omega's first appearance in the series, it appears in the Interdimensional Rift wandering a small plateau outside a save point. Omega can be avoided with careful stepping, and is entirely optional. In battle it uses powerful attacks and is very fast, but is vulnerable to Stop - although Stop wears off quickly, this still gives Omega a large weakness. Defeating it earns the party the Omega Badge to show proof of their victory. In the Advance port the upgraded Omega Mk.II appears in the new Sealed Temple area with six copies of the original Omega roaming nearby.

Although it is still very strong, Omega Weapon is small enough to fit on an airship. A prototype known as Proto-Omega awaits those at the heart of Apollyon and is much more powerful. A third variant, known as the Pantokrator, has been seen in Abyssea - Uleguerand.

Omega Mark XII is described as a war-machine with weapons stronger than any modern ones, and is located at the Great Crystal. It is only available to fight once the Hunt for the Elite Mark Yiazmat has been accepted; if the party visits its area beforehand, it will instead appear in a dormant state, in the shape of a giant coffer, and it cannot be roused.
Defeating it earns the party the Omega Badge, one of the Loot items needed to acquire the Wyrmhero Blade. Omega originally had 10 million HP in the Japanese release of the game, but was weakened to a mere 1 million for the North American and PAL releases. Despite its HP being surpassed by other superbosses within the game, Omega Mark XII has the highest strength, defense and magic power, as well as being the only Level 99 boss in the entire game.

Dissidia Final FantasyEdit
Added by Oranejo- "A soulless entity from a far away sky. Created by an ancient civilization as a machine capable of utter destruction, no one is certain for what purpose it was built. One source suggests it was created to eliminate some other massive power. With its creators long gone, it traverses dimensions, aiming only to complete its objective."
- —Description
Omega appears as a strong summon in Dissidia Final Fantasy. When summoned, it repeatedly reduces the opponent's Bravery by half during a certain period of time. The artwork used for the summon is from Final Fantasy V. Omega can be obtained in the second stage of the Inward Chaos storyline.
Aside from Omega's summon appearance, it is also mentioned in the Cosmos Reports and is identified by name as a weapon of destruction used in war with the state of the narrator, along with summoned monsters. According to the reports, Chaos defeated the summons and Omega and sealed them away.
Omega is also the name of a Ghost Card bearing the Final Fantasy V Omega Player Icon. Omega is a Level 100 Exdeath, and has the Purple Gem and Omega Badge to be won through battlegen, the latter a reference to the item won upon defeating Omega in Final Fantasy V. The quote on the card, "Roiling skies let loose a vile, soulless beast: Omega was its name" is a slight paraphrase of a book in Final Fantasy V that describes Omega and Shinryu.
