you know u could use an easy way like having to mime Materias and then equip one on Barret and the other on Cloud and make sure the third one in the party is dead, btw be sure both of them has limitbreaks.
1. use Omnislash on Emerald
2.use mime with Barret (he won't do a limitbreak)
3. Use mime with Cloud and there's Omnislash again.
and I think Omnislash deals around 120000 damage

Easy way to beat Ruby weapon - use Hades summon. Ruby is not immune to Paralyse (a lot of people confuse it with Stop, Hades actually inflicts Paralyse on Ruby Weapon which has half the duration of Stop).

You don't need Lucky 7s or even KOTR to beat Ruby, I've done it without, it just takes longer.

In saying that, I'd say Ruby was the stronger of the two mainly because you fight him alone, those annoying tail things keep draining your MP and his Defence is uber so it takes a while to beat him.

With Emerald, you have your whole party to use, can limit Aire Tam Storm by selectively using only a few Materia, and is much easier to stop his arm cannons with Slash-All.

I just used the invincible materia combo to trash emerald, ruby was a different problem because he constantly changes patterns, but I had no problem dismissing them both.

Its Ruby since you are alone and need strong materia combinations to defeat it.

Ruby is more difficult. Takes alot more thinking. Emerald, you can just use KtoR and Omnislash and any of the above methods.

Ruby, since it's much tougher to beat, needs more strategy and stuff. Emerald is just a bash fest.

I have always had more problems with Ruby Weapon. With Emerald, you just have to either make sure you have less than nine materia equipped (assuming you have 9,999 hp) or hook up final attack with revive materia.

In terms of statistics, Emerald clobbers Ruby. In terms of actual difficulty, I'd say they are both the same, as long as you know what you're doing for both fights.

Emerald is actually more difficult. He has more health, and he's even harder without underwater materia. Ruby isn't THAT difficult as long as you have your strategy set. After you get the underwater materia, Emerald is pretty much run and gun. Ruby you can beat pretty easily by killing your own party members and then hitting him. Either way, defeating Ruby with Knights of the Round (W-Summon/Mime you know the drill) is pointless because all desert rose is good for is getting a Gold Chocobo.
