I found dracula from IWBTG either really hard or really easy. Also Abyssion on Mania in Tales of Symphonia.

Name: Natrual Killer Cyborg (Mother 3)
Reason: The music is hard to combo with Lucas and his pals. The most annoying boss character! DX
Name: Masked Boy (Mother 3)
Reason: Same reason as NKC, but I like this boss better, even though he tries to KO your party with lightling attacks, cannon blasts, and PSI attacks.

If you don't read guides or anything on how to do it and try to figure it out yourself, yeah it can get really tough hehe.

PIT final boss was easy in my book cause i found super armor by killing the dinosaur monster and letting the fairy revive him as many times as it could, you get MASSIVE exp for doing this and super armor. (for the adults only though) i made sure i was ready to fight the boss.
For my nominee for hardest rpg boss, it would be the digital core boss from saga frontier. That boss is insane, your whole team has to be maxed out and be extremely lucky. If the boss gets smart, he kills you in 3 turns by attacking your entire party instead of one individually. Plus, it takes at least 8 to 10 turns to kill him cause of his security modes, in reality, its hard to last 4 turns with the boss. I still regret not going back and killing that boss to this day.

Game: Resonance of Fate
Boss: Rebecca/Sulivan on Zenith mode (5x enemy stats)
Conditions: Using all 3 characters.
Two bosses to fight at once, if you get hit one time by almost anything you will be dead. While this fight is super hard, theres one strategy (the only one I know of that actually wins this fight) that makes it quite easy. I've got a youtube vid of it, I dont think any other strategy would actually work against this boss.
Game: Star Ocean 2
Boss: Unlimited Indalecio/Gabriel on Universe
Conditions: No Bloody Armours (all damage hits you for 0, why is this in the game), no Algol Shield (1 hit kill chance).
Ok so you have 9999 HP. He can use magic that will kill all 4 of your members in one hit at full health without a bit of luck and defensive buffs. This dude moves so fast around the map you might as well say hes traveling through time. Not only that but he casts magic continuously and he can cast them WHILE MOVING. He has an insanely high daze resistance and has 3,000,000 HP. I also forgot to mention that he casts magic in about 1 second compared with every other enemy that would normally take upwards of 4-5 seconds.
Game: Castlevania - Portrait of Ruin
Boss: Dracula + Death
Conditions: Hard Mode Lvl 1 Old Axe Armour
Super super super hard. Like wow this is hard. The main thing that makes this hard is that you have to be so consistent. 2 hits and you die, you do 15 damage per hit and the lowest hp boss has something like 6666 HP. This is the only boss I can think of (except the next one) that I have not been able to beat on the hardest mode.

Think you have felt frustration? Sorry, but unless you have tried this, you dont know what it means. I'm serious, like really I'm not joking, theres a reason why under 10 people in the world have completed this. This boss has 2 forms, one form (Light Form) he heals himself continuously and can attack, the other form (Dark Form) he puts all kinds of status effects on your team while dealing some pretty damn hefty damage. He alternates between these 2 forms every 2 Minutes and 41 Seconds and gives a little message a few seconds before it. When switching forms he hits you with a powerful attack that deals some sort of % of your HP and his chain gauge gets completely reset. Without Sentinal active (you cant switch during his attack, its one of the few moves where u cant, you have to switch before it) your leader will die unless your at or near full HP.
It gets worse. You have 33 Minutes and 30 seconds to kill this boss, because at 30 Minutes and 30 seconds he will cast doom on your leader (which lasts 3 minutes). Don't forget that this boss heals itself continuously in its Light Form and you have to spend most of your time healing/staying alive in Dark Form. Oh you think its bad now? It seems you dont understand the fact the he will randomly cast a ONE HIT KILL MOVE ON A RANDOM TEAM MEMBER. Yes, that means that if he uses it on your leader then its time to restart your half an hour battle. He has about 7 million HP and provided the gods have blessed you with success thus far, when he hits 2.7 mil he goes into a dual Light/Dark Form. Thats right, now he heals continuously AND he does huge damage on you.
He also gains a new move that drains the health of your team and heals himself ontop of his normal healing. He gains another move that for some reason completely misses you sometimes, but if it doesnt then it requires a full HP sentinal otherwise you will die. He will still use his "switching form" move, although he no longer gives you the message (you will need a stopwatch handy or your finished). So somehow you have to juggle surviving his super damage while at the same time out-damaging his healing before your time limit runs out all the while hoping he doesnt instant kill your leader in a 33 minute fight. If, by some miracle, you managed to achieve all this, you should finish the battle with about 10-20 seconds left on your doom timer. Its basically impossible to do it any faster. Easily the hardest boss challenge I have ever seen/attempted. Despite full days at attempting this, I could never do it.

Pre-Cata Hogger from World of Warcraft. He's far from the hardest boss ever, but is worth mentioning due to how much of a kick to the balls he is the first time you fought him. Hogger was the first boss that Human players ever faced, and if you don't have a well-constructed team he will easily take down any unprepared party.
The point of Hogger was to teach players how to build a decent party the old-school way, but even then he's still quite a challenge. Many, many groups wiped on him and he gained a pretty memeic status within the fanbase. Once cata came out he was even promoted to becoming a boss at the end of a dungeon. And yes, he can still wipe the floor with you if you're unprepared.

I honestly got stuck on Lance on HG/SS. People said he could be beat with Pokemon like 10 levels under, but I honestly couldn't beat him until i was like 10 levels above him. ****ing Dragonites

This is the only correct answer. If the boss fight itself is killing you in real life because it's forcing you to keep full attention for hours and hours on end without letting up, it's like beyond OP.
There is a boss in Higher ground ( a NWN mod) that takes a party of 10 perfectly organized people to get to, and then to beat it, you have to just hope that you never get a critical hit against it(random chance), since it retaliates with an ability that destroys your weapon + armor, making his minions that you mostly ignore kill you within 6 seconds. even with unlimited full heal potions you often need revives from party members. every minute the boss also completely silences your team, removing half of your damage output, at the same time it fully heals 10 times (making it's health change from 1 million to 10 million) each hit(1 every 2 seconds) you deal 10-100sh damage to it mages deal 400-1200 every 6 seconds but are unreliable because of the silence it heals 6000 every 6 seconds as well meaning you must have a net DPS of 1k/s to even hurt it. making you dedicate about 7 people to solely damage 2 people to cleaning up the minons every time they spawn (every hit of his) and 1 people to heal and fix all the status effects that occur.
The fight lasted roughly 5 hours but hasn't been won because every hour he kills anyone who has dealt 500000 damage to him, and by 5 hours even the healer has done that much damage. so the only way to win is to have the healer deal 0 damage and be able to quickly revive everyone. the most heal counts the boss has reached to this point is 2. meaning the fight should end up being 25 hours of straight complete hell.
(in response to the sheer difficulty of the boss, the level cap is being raised form 60 to 80 in order to hopefully let you deal enough damage to beat the boss)
oh yeah, also the boss only drops 1 piece of loot per fight, meaning to get the full set of 10 pieces you must beat the boss 100 times (10x10 people in party) amounting to a current total of 2500 hours of just fighting the boss ignoring the 500 hours of doing the run up to the point of the boss.

Lol... ole Pandomonium Warden. I remember when I played nearly 3 years ago, he was the ****. I bet he sucks now, the level cap being raised and such.
Still, that a was a boss to remember.
Throwing out a few here:
Yiazmat (FFXII), Dynamis Lord (FFXI, back when the cap was 75).
Those two were pretty darn hard.

Midgar Zolom in FF 7 if you fight him when you first get there. **** Beta.
Otherwise the first fight with Saturos and Menardi in Golden Sun, if that counts, since you're supposed to die.

Zeon from Shining Force 2. He is the final boss but he can be a royal pain in the *** if you dont know what you are doing (read: late-promote or bring Healing Rains). Also, Taros deservs aspecial mention. He can only be damaged by one weapon that can only be used by the leader and if the leader dies, say goodbye to half of your cash and you still gotta pay the priest money to revive your comrades that fell in the battle. Shining Force II was made by the same group that developed Golden Sun but under the name Sonic! Software Planning. I apologize for any typos in this post as I posted it grom from the Wii.

No. With the level cap made higher Pandemonium Warden and the -stronger- Absolute Virtue are now beatable.
The only correct answer is Elisabeth from Persona 3. You have to do it ALONE, you can't use some efficient Persona(if you do it she kills you istantly) and, even if you are at the highest level, it's basically impossible.
Damn, Shin Megami Tensei and Persona sure have hard as hell bosses.
