Worst Malboros

January 25, 2007, 11:36 PM

I hate coming across malboros. Even when all my characters are at level 99 and doing 9,999 damage I still run away from them. Malboros don't always cast the same status ailments in every game. Well bad breath always consists of confuse, poison, blind and silence.

So which game do you think had the worst malboros?

For me it was VIII. Since they cast confuse, blind, silence, berserk, poison, gradual petrify and I think curse on all your characters right at the begining of battle. You're pretty much dead unless you get lucky and Odin comes and kills if for you, or you just get lucky.

Second place goes to IV. They cast frog, mini, confuse, poison, blind, and silence on one of your characters. And more often than not, you are attacked by three of them. I would say that these are the worse, but since they only cast it on one of your characters, there not as bad as the ones in VIII. But since only confuse goes away after battle, it is a pain to have cure all the status ailments. Especially since esuna can waste your magic and ether's don't come by all that ofter until the end of the game. So I often use up a lot of remedies while on the way to the land of the summons.

all the Malboros are really bad, but i have to say the ones of FF8 have to be the top of the ladder, since you couldn't just side step em, you had to kill em if you wanted the Cursed Pins to get Doomtrain and to unlock a Final Weapon

Ack Malboros......hmmmm......the ones I hated were the Mezzo Malboros in FF2.....if you wanted elixers for free, you had to fight them, and if you are playing through the game without cheating with that bug....you were screwed

Marlboro = instant Flee or Escape tbh

though the ones in FFX-2 aren't that bad, i still run away from them, they're very very tough...

The one's in Final Fantasy VI are more hideous than Flava Flav.

I think they're called "Evil Oscars" in that one, and man do they look like a f'ed up piece junk. Ugly MoFo's...

Malboro's and Tonberrys are always the worse kinda enemys to meet. Shame they've soften up in recent games tho.

The ones in Tactics could turn one of your characters into Malboro's forever. Pretty funny, but stinks if it does happen to you (though only Great Malboro's have this hidden skill to do so, you would need monster skill.). I didn't really enjoy the malboro's in FFX, especially the Great Malboro's that ambushes you in Omega's place.

Monster- Malboro
Coolness- 8/10 (the name reminds me of cigs...)

The ones in X shouldn't of been created.

If you don't have First Strike equiped, it's first move is to "Bad Breath" your party to hell. (Of course, Ribbon always comes in to save the day...) but if not, you're potentially screwed. I'm talking about Great Malboros which like to hang about Omega Ruins. Making it a superb place to train, though. Just, to tackle them with low-lvled characters, it's well daring.

Malboro's in FFVIII are they worst ... they're horrible.
I used to be able to defeat them easily some how in an old save file but in my current they dominant me.

The malboros in FFX are difficult from time to time .....

FFXII are the EASIEST in the series, well I think so any way...

Ugh, probably the worst Malboros are from FFVIII. With the Grand Malboro from FFX at least they didn't always cast Bad Breath the second they saw you. I remember the Grand Malboros being pretty tough but I barely remember FFX.

The FFVIII Malboros would cast Bad Breath immediately. Your party would get every single bad status effect so there is so possible to way to defeat the Malboro. You basically sit there and watch your party die slowly. The best way to kill them is to get Quistis with low health before you enter a battle. Just have her use her limit break. =/ You could always junction, pain, break, berserk, and confused.
