Unless you count glitches (which you should not), I would choose FF6's Lightbringer/Illumina.

- has the maximum 255 Attack Power
- has auto crits
- randomly casts Holy/Pearl in addition to the main attack
- Holy/Pearl ALSO auto crits (and thus is an ABSURDLY strong magic spell!)
- has perfect hit rate and so never misses
- has long range, so you can attack from the back row without any damage penalty
- even it's holy/pearl castings don't take a damage hit in the back row (as other weapon's spellcasts do)
- enables runic (very important in some high difficulty mods or LLGs)
- it's damage can be boosted by trance/berserk (unlinke Atma Weapon)
- offers among the best stat boosts to vigor/strength, speed, magic power and stamina
- also boots evasion AND magic black by 50% (highest stat boosts in the game), which can make you an almost intouchable god! : D

I would rate Lionheart way higher on the list based on the fact that it gives you the lionheart limit break.

Before it even starts.
Excalibur 2 from FF9.
Annoying to get but absolutely savage.

[GuvvyXD]

Lionheart is way up top whatever your feelings on FF8. That gunblade is iconic and the limit break is insane when it hits

[zakirstocks]

I love ANY types of Powerful Weapons from the Final Fantasy Franchises! They're all just so Incredible, Beautiful, Breathtaking, Amazing, Spectacular and Fantastic! They'll take down any enemies and Powerful Bosses!

I like the Lionheart weapon scene in Final Fantasy VIII.

[pasqualembisceglia]

I love the Nirvana weapon scene in Final Fantasy X.

[pasqualembisceglia]

I love Steiner's Excalibur in Final Fantasy IX.

Actually, Yuna's MP affects the damage output from the Nirvana, not HP. The Caladbolg, on the other hand, is affected by Tidus's HP.

[elranzer]

I would have thought you would point out that Masamune is Sephiroth’s sword. Also, Ultimate Weapon debuted in FFVI.

[pasqualembisceglia]

I love all the powerful weapons in Final Fantasy IX.

[chrisgodfrey]

So the order felt all over the place but very good choices listed. Also would have included Wakka's ultimate weapon from FF10 as it makes him one of the honestly far more powerful than Yuna with Nirvana due to the multi hit function of his Limit Break. Also Deathbringer isn't always dark element while also having the one hit KO effect, whereas for Lightbringer if fighting light element opponents will be essentially useless and Deathbringer can still harm all enemies equally while also having the chance of the one hit KO

[boonski]

This list just reconfirms why IV is my favourite.

[davidpumpkinsjr.]

It's not a FF game, but I love the Dreamseeker from Chrono Trigger. A sword literally crafted from dreams with 90% critical hit rate is nothing to sneeze at.

[franciscojaviermendezrinco]

The Ultima weapon also aappears in Kingdom Hearts, being the strongest and hardest keyblade to get for Sora.

[arisen]

Honorable mentions for me would be FFII Firions blood sword which is just iconic on him and FFV Dancer's knife which basically allowed my characters to have a 3rd class with sword dance doing insane damage.

[JoshuaVerscha]

All these years I had no idea Death Penalty built dps through kills. I always thought it powered up only from having the limit gauge filled… ouch.

[ColbyMillerTV]

I like this list. I would have put Tidus's Caldborg at #1 though because of how insanely broken it is.

[stevenbart]

I think Sequencer from Final Fantasy Tactics A2 at least deserves an honorable mention. It can grow stronger like Death Penalty, it's only really held back by being a knight sword, so close range and only a handful of jobs can use it, and it only gets stronger when you get an opportunity command, so entirely luck based. However, it's available earlier and will still likely already be your strongest weapon. Also, you only have 50 levels to raise your stats in Tactics as opposed to the usual 99, so Sequencer is probably the only way you're going to break 100 damage with a normal, non-elemental attack.
