Once you know what to do it shouldn't be too hard. Make sure you maxed out your negotiation skill to a high level otherwise you may be in a bit of a bind.

Also make sure to bring weapons like flowers or chocolate they will greatly assist you.

remember elixir of cheap cologne will not aid you but the opposite

you also may have to lvl up your charm and get some better looking armour
lvling up you magic also appeals as long as it not to showy

The Final Boss of Tales of Eternia (Tales of Destiny 2 in the States. Eternia is trademarked by He-Man. dammit.)

She uses some stupid ultimate attack when she his like like enough HP left to die in one more hit, that unless you press 3 buttons simultaniously, you die pretty much instantly. I gave up trying for THREE YEARS, then played through the game later and beat it when I accidentally discovered you were supposed to press and HOLD the buttons.

I use the brick-to-head=knockout method.  It's often claimed to be cheap, but meh, it works.
If you don't want to be so cheap, learn the "spike drinks with drugs" ability during level up.

that makes it a lot easier

(your refering to Psycho Mantis right? not Yunalesca or something)

So what does that do?

The sole problem was not being able to use the second controller, thus not being able to really hit him. i didn't really have problems with his attacks or anything else.

-psycho matis
it distracts him since its his face under the masked statues

and as for my worst boss experiences:
N-Gin from crash bandicoot 2,-i didnt beat him 'till just recently when i picked up the game again in 04'
Metal Gear Rex-Playing MGS on the psp, it was so annoying because of the damn psp controls
Ares from God Of War- it took me 1 week and a half playing every afternoon for about 2-3 hours each time
there's more but i can't think right now I'll come back later

Quote: i can't get FFX to run fast enough on my computer. i need a faster computer.

I've never really looked into a ps2 emulator so I wouldnt know which one to use if there were multiple ones out there. Do you mind recommending one of them for me?

Ontopic I would say that emerald weapon was about the only boss that made me want to eat my controller and toss the console out the window.

Or even the flaming samurai guy on the horse in ninja gaiden black. It was the first boss but I was so bad at the game that he made me want to cry. He destroyed me like 100 times till I finally got lucky.

Pcsx2 is the only one that really does anything at all. It can probably run like 1/2 the games out there, not regarding the speed. None of the others can really run any commercial games.

BUT depending on the game, u will need a very strong computer to run most games propperly.

If u want to hope to run anything at perfect speeds, your cpu needs to be VERY strong, like a high end core 2 duo. u don't really need a good gpu though, anything that supports pixel shader 3 will do.

My mom has a laptop with a E5500 core 2 duo, and i can only get FFX to run at about 25-60 fps, depending on area. Average of like 40. The graphics card was a Radeon X1700, but graphics card is not important for PS2 emulation. My comp can only get 5 fps because i can't do pixel shader 2, which is required.

So u will need a very powerful machine to get it to run on full speed. It's not impossible. Many people have claimed they have done it before.

i personally cheated ^.^. Hacked save file. But if u really want to do it without cheating:

(1) There's the knights of the round method. This involves getting all your charactors heaps of knights of the round materia, equipping all of them, pairing them with the counter materia. Each time he attacks u, u counter with 8x knights of the round. IT IS A MASSIVE WASTE OF TIME TO MASTER ALL THESE MATERIA. use the 2nd method.

(2) The 7777 Method. Way cooler than the Knights of the round method. This involves getting all your charactos to 7777Hp. U can do this by casting toad on yourself and hitting yourself for 1 damage until u can potion yourself to 7777HP. Use Cloud, Barret and Cid. Cloud on Omnislash, Barret on Angermax, Cid on Highwind, all limit breaks ready. Equip urself with sneak attack, quandra magic and commet materias. Start battle. U will get into all 7 lucky mode, now all your attacks will do exactly 7777 unpreventable, undodgable damage. Sneak attacks on commet 2 goes off = 7777x4x4 damage (if it doesn't just start battle again. u have like 80% chance). Use 7777 beserk mode, this is where a charactor in 7777 mode attacks, he will do 64 straight attacks of 7777 damage each, it can only be used once every battle. That's 64x7777 damage, and then use the limit breaks, (15+18+18)x7777 damage. Bye bye Emerald. He won't even have the time to hit u once, since sneak attack, beserk mode and limit breaks all have priority over normal moves.

The 2nd method is way cooler, since u only need 1 sneak attack materia, 2 commet materias, and 1 quandra magic materia, and that's it, u don't even need them mastered. The 1st method will require u to have 8 knights of the round materia (try getting that without cheating) and lots of other materia.

Both methods can also be used on ruby, tweaking them a bit.

OR, u can cheat like me.
