Boss fights don't give you EXP...

Well here is a No Level up guide: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/197343/19814

SUPER DUPER BOSS FIGHT: OMEGA WEAPON
------------------------------------
Wow, you are taking on the strongest monster in the game at LV7! Isn't that incredible? Unlike the Ultimate Weapon, the Omega is ALWAYS at LV100 - try scanning him. So it really doesn't matter if you are at LV100 or LV7, he will have the same stats. The way to beat him is to simply be faster than him. That means a very good speed stat. If you have everything junctioned as I told you, that shouldn't be a problem. As the battle starts have one person cast Triple on a person that has at least 3 Auras. Have that person cast the three Auras. The third character should use a Holy War. Omega WILL use LV5 Death, and it is likely to happen before you cast the holy war, but don't worry, none in your party should have a level multiple of 5, so it will miss. After this cast a meltdown to get his Vitality to 0. From here on it is just limit breaks. And it will seem endless. At one point your Holy War will wear off. If you are unlucky to have one character killed while there is a gap between the Holy War that wore off and the new one you are casting, the only thing I can suggest is to try to go on with the flow - cast Life (NOT Full-Life!) and then a Holy War. As your speed is greater than Omega's you should get all those things done before you finish up dead. After that just keep on casting Limit Breaks. Just to give an idea of the number of limit breaks you will need - I used over 40 Demolition Ammo in this battle, and most of the times my fire rate was 3/limit
(I had no aura the time I fought him, but you should, as it increases the fire
rate). He isn't very difficult, as I didn't die a single time while fighting him.
So you shouldn't either. Now go to the Tutorial Menu, check under Information and you will see a new entry - 'The Proof of Omega'.

So I was right

the Omega is ALWAYS at LV100

This is a runthrough of the game IMO, this guy just goes past everything that's why he can get so far and be under lvl 10, I got to 20-30 cause in order to get all the tests and all the GF abilities, though I used the same method, the Card command.

I just used the same party I used for Jumbo Cactuar and Tonberry King, and I was sorted! Quite easy, though admittedly I looked up a guide... 8)

Kinda sucks to fight a boss with a guide :/ I'd resort to something like that ONLY if I couldn't beat him after two days of trying, plus Omega really isn't that complicated to beat.

Omega Weapon is always level 100. That is because his attacks are at level 100. His HP isn't. Omega Weapon's HP range is from 171945 (Level 7) to 1161000 (Level 100). Which is why it doesn't matter what level you are you can beat Omega weapon at without doing much leveling.

That makes no sense :/ How can his attacks be lvl 100 and his HP not? He is an extra boss, you don't have to fight him, that is why he is lvl 100.

Here:
Party lvl 100

Party lvl 16
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwLJogVfUso
be patient with this vid the guy doesn't know how to set up the camera

Following your analogy if Omega has 171945 hp (Level 7) he'd have double on lvl 16 right? On this vid the guy does at least 56000 damage from one Renzokuken, so that would mean that he'd kill him with 6-7 Renzokukens, but no, he hits 27 x 56000 = 1512000, which would say that Omega's HP is nowhere close to 300000.

If this doesn't prove it to you nothing will.

Yeah, that's true, than Gamefaq is wrong. I remember in the official strategy guide did show Omega Weapon HP range. I'm just saying that Omega weapon doesn't have a definite number of hit points. It varies from levels, I wish those people in these videos scan Omega. Also to show how much damage is attack does at depending what level your characters are.

the annoying thing is that in VIII and IX, scan doesn't always work-moreso in IX

here's something which will settle the debate.

extremely low level team. take into account ff8 allows you to junction max strength at low levels as you can gain magic without going into fights (cards-card mod-gf refine).
Sorry that its german. But you can see that omega's level 7, and that only amounts to about 100,000 hp, where at level 100 he has 1,161,000 hp - which takes about 8 renzokuken-lionhearts?
So really its just much easier if you stay low level as the monsters levels are always around your levels.

If I was Omega that video would insult me

What's the point in fighting the strongest monster in the game at his lowest lvl? Where's the challenge in that? If you wanted to play the game with low lvl ok, but lvl up if you fight Omega :/
Sry, just my gaming principles

Also, you wanna say that the difference in Omega's HP on lvl 7 and 16 is that great?
In the video I posted where the guys party is lvl16 Omega had 1500000 at least, so how much does he have on lvl100?
