The roiling skies let loose a vile beast without a soul: Omega was its name.

Book in Final Fantasy V

Omega (オメガ, Omega?) is a recurring superboss in the Final Fantasy series. It is a powerful robot whose signature attack is Wave Cannon. Defeating it commonly yields the Omega Badge trophy item.

It is one of two recurring superboss types in the series, both called Omega: the robotic dimension-hopping Omega, and the Omega Weapon that often appears as the "final form" of the Weapon creatures. Yet another type of Omega exists in Final Fantasy: Unlimited.

Profile[]

Final Fantasy V Advance - Omega Weapon

CG render of Omega in Final Fantasy V.

Omega is a silver steel quadrupedal robot with a round body and four spider-like legs, resembling that of a scarab beetle. It has no head, and the central body is dominated by a large, yellow (sometimes red), pupil-less eye. Its signature attack, Wave Cannon, does heavy non-elemental damage to the party. Omega frequently uses Earthquake, Flamethrower, and Maelstrom, and otherwise uses technologically-themed attacks.

As with other recurring powerful bosses, like Shinryu or Gilgamesh, it is hinted that several of the "Omegas" in the series are 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 a monstrous wyrm. After giving birth to a brood of Weapons, the original Omega escaped after the inventor 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 that travels dimensions and is still 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. In Final Fantasy XV Omega was created by an ancient civilization to slay the gods, and given the ability to warp between dimensions.

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 Omega was meant to destroy a powerful wyrm (or dragon), and Dissidia stating 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 supported by Shinryu's Museum profile in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, which mentions Shinryu travels the Rift in search of Omega. In Final Fantasy XIV, Omega and a primal manifestation of Shinryu face off against each other in a cataclysmic battle, with Omega defeating the apparition of his enemy. However, it is later revealed that Omega was truly created to defeat Midgardsormr, the father of dragons, whose appearance inspired the myth of Shinryu in the game's universe.

Appearances[]

Final Fantasy[]

Omega psp

Omega appears in the GBA/PSP/iOS/3DS versions. It is one of two bosses fought at the end of the Lifespring Grotto, the other being Shinryu. It uses a powerful Wave Cannon attack to hit the entire party and has high defenses.

Defeating it yields the Murasame. Its sprite in the Dawn of Souls release is a modified sprite of Omega from Final Fantasy V, while in the 20th Anniversary and the iOS release, the sprite is of higher quality.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years[]

TAY PSP Omega Field

Omega appears as one of the bosses representing Final Fantasy V. It wanders around B14 in the Depths and can be avoided. 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 V[]

Omega-ffv-ios
Omega FMV

Omega in a FMV.

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 thus optional. In battle it uses powerful attacks and is 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 and 2013 versions, the upgraded Omega Mk.II appears in the Sealed Temple bonus area with six copies of the original Omega roaming nearby.

Final Fantasy XI[]

Omega.

Omega appears in Chains of Promathia Mission 6-2 and its power increases as it takes damage. It does not turn to attack enemies but merely swats them with the nearest limb.

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

Final Fantasy XII[]

Omega Mk12

Omega Mark XII.

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 available to fight once the Hunt for the Elite Mark Yiazmat has been accepted; if the party visits its area beforehand, it will appear in a dormant state, in the shape of a giant coffer, and cannot be roused. In the original Japanese version, Yiazmat had to be defeated in order to challenge Omega Mk XII.

Defeating it earns the party the Omega Badge, one of the loot items needed to acquire the Wyrmhero Blade. Omega had 10 million HP in the Japanese release, but was weakened to a mere 1 million for the North American and PAL releases. Despite its HP being surpassed by other superbosses, Omega Mark XII has the highest strength, defense and magick power, as well as being the only level 99 boss.

Final Fantasy XIII-2[]

Omega.

Omega is an optional DLC boss. Defeating it, as with other monsters, allows the player to recruit it as a party member to the Paradigm Pack. Omega uses Flamethrower, Missile and its signature Wave Cannon.

Final Fantasy XIV[]

FFXIV Stormblood Omega

Omega is initially believed to be a dormant Allagan superweapon discovered beneath the Carteneau Flats in the aftermath of Bahamut's rampage, described as being so powerful that it dwarfs the Ultima Weapon. At the end of Heavensward, Omega is awakened to battle Shinryu, and later on plays a role in Stormblood as the focus of the "Omega" raid series. Omega is revealed to originate from the farthest depths of space—after fighting a war against Midgardsormr on a distant star, Omega pursued its prey until they both reached the Source.

In Endwalker, it is revealed Omega's home planet was known as "Alphatron", home to a race called the Omicrons. The questline "Beyond the Rift" details the events of Omega's origin and story after the events of both the "Omega" raid series, and Endwalker.

Gear, weapons, a minion, and a mount inspired by Omega can be obtained as rewards from the "Omega" raid series. A high difficulty fight inspired by the raid series called The Omega Protocol (Ultimate) was released during Endwalker, offering additional challenge and rewards.

Final Fantasy XV[]

Omega from FFXVRE

Omega.

Omega is a new optional boss added to the Royal and Windows Editions, fought in the final dungeon. It is an ancient god-killing magitek armor of Solheimian design that is said to have "interdimensional" properties. It is homage to the boss's debut from Final Fantasy V.

Final Fantasy XVI[]

Omega is the final boss of the "Echoes of the Fallen" expansion. When Clive Rosfield, Joshua Rosfield, and Jill Warrick reach the Magitek Mothercrystal, Omega is deployed by the Sagespire's defense systems, absorbing the Mothercrystal and battling the party. After an initial battle phase, Omega uses the Mothercrystal's aether to augment itself, sprouting two extra arms and beginning a second phase as Omega Aionios. Following a brutal battle, Omega attempts to compress the dimension itself, but is stopped, ejecting the Mothercrystal.

After defeating Omega and the other enemies within the Sagespire, and by using crafting materials dropped by them, the Omega Weapon sword can be crafted for Clive.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King[]

Omega appears as the 50th floor boss in the optional dungeon Infinity Spire. He uses Wave Cannon that will hit every Adventurer within Infinity Spire, even if they are not fighting him. Defeating Omega rewards one of the Adventurers who survived the battle with the Omega Symbol, a level 50 necklace that adds +27 to all stats.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers[]

Two Crystal Armors, named Omega Slaves by their goblin worshipers, can be encountered in the interior of the Aerial Prison as optional field bosses. The duo were once secret prototypes of the Lilty Kingdom to develop an ultimate weapon powered by Crystals but after the fall of the prison, monsters snuck into the prison's secret lab and stole the new weapons that had been developed.

Final Fantasy Dimensions II[]

Omega's default phantom stone.

Omega appears as a high-ranked fire-elemental summon for the player to use. The summon's initial design is based off it's appearance from Final Fantasy V, but it's final design is based off the color scheme of the Omega Mark XII from Final Fantasy XII. Omega's special ability is Wave Cannon, which deals fire-elemental damage to all enemies. Summoning Omega costs 3 points from the Consumption Gauge.

Omega allows the wielder to use the following abilities:

  • Firaga Breath I
  • Firaga Breath II
  • Firaga Breath III

Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy[]

DFFOmega

Omega being summoned.

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 is a strong summon that 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 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 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.

In Dissidia 012, it can be purchased from the secret Moogle Shop within the Land of Discord during Scenario 000 for 1,500 KP. The Reports also expand on his background in the Dissidia universe.

Final Fantasy Explorers[]

Omega appears as an enemy. It mostly mimics its appearance and many of its attacks from both its Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy XIII-2 incarnations. It can use attacks such as Pilebunker to cause a major earthquake in straight lines, Rainbow Wind around itself to inflict several status ailments at once, shoot Missiles in pairs in the front, Lethal Crush to pound attackers with its body with Pounce being a jumping version of the attack, Mustard Bomb which detonates many explosives around itself, and its signature Wave Cannon which deals major damage to everything in front of Omega. It can also use Mighty Guard to augment its defenses and Target.

Omega must be hit on its legs which will cause the machine to stagger and be more vulnerable to damage, however it will repair after a brief period of time and resume its rampage. When weakened it will employ Track which will cause Omega to turn red and frantically ravage everything on its marching path, doing major damage and moves very fast while doing so. If any of its legs are injured it can also stop any attack Omega is attempting to use. When further weakened it will upgrade its signature attack to Wave Cannon+ greatly expanding its range covering close to a 180° arc.

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius[]

An ancient machine of destruction that wanders the Vortex. Upon detecting enemy factors, Omega instantly analyzes the enemy's genes, predicts the enemy's actions, and then selects the proper weapon to use to swiftly annihilate its target. Omega's power unit is built using technologies beyond modern day technologies, and it is believed it can remain autonomous near forever. Therefore, defeating Omega, which is undoubtedly a technological pinnacle, is akin to defeating ancient civilization itself.

Description

Omega appears as the boss of the Ancient Hellbringer Trial. It is a very powerful enemy with a difficulty of 14★. It fights using many of its signature abilities like Atomic Ray, Rainbow Wind, Earthquake and Wave Cannon.

Kingdom Hearts[]

In Kingdom Hearts III, in the Ocean Between, a constellation appears that, when photographed, takes the form of Omega and unlocks a special Omega Gummiship and the Omega Gazer title.

Etymology[]

Omega (capital: Ω, lowercase: ω; Greek Ωμέγα) is the twenty-fourth and last letter of the Greek alphabet, representing a longer Latin "o" as well as the "oo" and "ou" IPA vowel clusters. In mathematics, it is synonymous with a set's end or limit. In physics, uppercase omega is the SI abbreviation for the ohm, a unit of electrical resistance.

Omega Aionios, as encountered in Final Fantasy XVI's "Echoes of the Fallen", takes its name from the Ancient Greek αἰώνῐος (aiṓnios), which can be translated as "eternal" or "everlasting".
