10 Most Memorable Side-Quests In RPG Game History

5. Final Fantasy VII - Ruby And Emerald Weapon

It's been 18 years since it was released, but Final Fantasy VII remains so popular that the upcoming remake can be primarily attributed to the power fan demand. And for good reason too. Final Fantasy VII is an awesome game filled with an exquisitely dark storyline, intriguing characters, and engrossing gameplay. But before the remake lands, lets remind ourselves of the 2 awesome optional superbosses lurking about that pose the biggest challenge in the game. First there is the Ruby Weapon superboss, which is triggered after certain story events and can only be found randomly. This red dinosaur looking thing has nearly one million HP and is not for the unprepared or the faint of heart. But the main course is the Emerald Weapon superboss. Encountered only underwater via submarine, this battle is not only nail-bitingly tough but there is a set 20-minute time limit in which to defeat this green million-HP behemoth. Even if you found the underwater materia which gets rid of the time limit, this boss is exceedingly tough due to it's ability to one-hit-KO those who have not equipped their characters properly. The prize for kicking these superbosses' ass is enough rare equipment to make Sephiroth your bitch 3 times over, making these 2 superboss battles completely worth it.

My life story is nothing special. I haven't cured ebola, I'm nowhere near stopping terrorism, and I'm still working on that climate change problem. Instead, all I've done so far is put a few hundred words together in an attempt to make people laugh. You can follow me at @Fry_ying_pan but don't be offended if I don't tweet back. It's usually because I've spent too long trying to think up a witty response that the reply window has closed.
