10 Worst "Ultimate" Video Game Weapons

5. Excalibur II - Final Fantasy 9

Ok so let's start by getting something clear:

Yes, this is indeed the most powerful sword in the game for Steiner and is indeed blessed with all swords of skills that would be a huge boon to your party, HOWEVER, I can state without question that Excalibur II sucks as an ultimate weapon for two huge reasons.

One, it's incredibly difficult to obtain in the first place, requiring the player to race to the final dungeon of the game, defeat a boss and then locate it all in under 12 hours, or 10 if you're playing on the slower loading PAL version of the game, and second, because it's located at the end of the game, you only have a handful of fights left before you complete the story.

Not even speedrunners think this weapon is worth the effort thanks to how arduous it is to collect, and for anyone else chasing this, you end up missing out on so much of the main game that it's not even a fun experience!

Sequels are meant to be bigger and better, but this was just plain bad.
