Though technically NOT a boss, I could never defeat that little urchin in Tales of Phantasia.

Other frustrating bosses from games I've played:

Chrono Trigger: That stupid imp with his blue and red beasts was very difficult without the right elements in play. Spekkio as well, in his Level * form (modified MasaMune), was challenging. You freakin' need to have Crono on Luminaire, and the other two as support healers, to survive.

Secret of Mana: Spiky Tiger in Elinee's Tower was quite tough, since the battle was fought before you had recovery magic, and you were limited only to 4 candy and chocolate bars. Dark Lich, I think, killed me once when I was very careless and got too near his disembodied hands.

Seiken Densetsu 3: That stupid Black Rabite killed me very many times. The rest of the game wasn't too tough since I love to over-level.

Final Fantasy 4: To be honest I don't remember much about the game.

Final Fantasy 5: They say Omega Weapon was tough, but the right equipment sure showed him (reflect). On the other hand, Shinryu kills me pretty fast. But I got my vengeance in FF5 Advance. (And then the FF5A bonus dungeon proceeded to own me even though all the enemies at the last normal dungeon area were pushovers.)

Final Fantasy 6: I hate those Master Pugs. Hate 'em a damn lot. Intangirs, without super powerful magic, were difficult. These were not a problem in the SNES game though, since vanish+doom=victoly MagiMaster, on Fanatics Tower, was very tough with his Ultima counter - if you didn't rasp/osmose him or don't have high enough HP, jump, or Life 3, you're a dead man.

Final Fantasy 7: Emerald Weapon didn't present too hard a challenge (I sapped half his HP with Lucky Sevens before the battle even started ) Ruby Weapon, however, was the toughest boss here, since he was immune to physical attacks and had a nasty habit of blowing off party members.

Final Fantasy 8: This game wasn't too memorable for me, strangely enough. I recall having quite a bit of trouble with Omega Weapon though.

Final Fantasy 9: There was a point in the game where you could prematurely encounter a super powerful dragon who can kill you in 1 round. I died 3x before realizing the area was off limits. Optional boss Ozma massacred my party six times before I beat him.

Kingdom Hearts: Riku, on Destiny Island, beat me 15 times before I could defeat him once The Ice Titan in Olympus Colosseum pwned me as well, before I gave up and consulted a guide. Sephiroth, I felt, wasn't quite as tough once you start using those megalixers.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories: The final battle with Riku Replica was extremely tough, especially when playing Riku's story. I think I finally resorted to save state/load state to beat him with Riku, since the pre-made deck stanked.

Fair points, Cetra and RacinReaver. I blurred the distinction between frustrating and merely difficult in my post. Let me put up a feeble defense by saying that I tend to be a level h00r, and the fact that I've sank all this time into buffing up my characters, and still get whooped, is kind of frustrating to me

There's nowhere I can't reach.
