There are some situations where Ozma will keep using Curse over and over, which is great compared to him using Meteor. I am not sure if it's a glitch or not, maybe you must do something to cause him to use Curse. I'm not sure, I have never witnessed it personally. He is still hard reguardless, just not as hard, so that might explain him being easier some fights, while being extremely difficult on others. Maybe Zidane's thievery has something to do with it, I know you can get it to do 9999 damage to Ozma everytime making it even better than some of his Trance moves.Ozma really is just pure luck. You can start the battle off,he goes first and uses Meteor which as everyone knows about the damage. Everyone dies (or if you're lucky some survive),then he will go again and do the same thing or do Curse then meteor without you having a turn. Next battle can be totally different.
I've beaten him twice. First time was on my first play through of the game. I didn't do the friendly monster side quest. I had Zidane,Garnet,Steiner and Eiko and they were all around level 60 or so. I died after like 15 minutes or so then Phoenix brought me back. After that,he went down in about 5 more minutes.
Second time,same party although everyone was level 99. He killed me a bunch of times before hand by doing what I mentioned above with Meteor. I don't use Auto Life so I rely on Phoenix to decide to come. Anyway around the 4th time,he went down in 3 to 4 minutes.
