History EldritchAbomination / FinalFantasy

* The creature [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Omega_%28enemy%29 Omega]] is a reoccurring super-boss in many ''Final Fantasy'' games. Originally it was just a powerful machine that, according to ''Final Fantasy'' lore, would just randomly attack things that got near it. More recent games and story expand on Omega's back-story and imply that the different versions of Omega in other ''Final Fantasy'' games are in fact the same thing and Omega really exists across multiple universes with [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith a shape that conforms]] to the laws and rules of said universe. Also, one story states that Omega is supposed to kill a powerful foe whom most assume to be Shinryu, a powerful god-dragon that also exists across multiple universes. One of the game quotes for this this thing is: "From the sky it comes, heartless and bloodless--Omega, Bringer of the End! Unleash your might in the name of destruction... and may all men know despair!"

EldritchAbomination in ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''.

* Zeromus, the final boss of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', is a spirit of hatred created by [[spoiler: the true [[BigBad Big Bad]] of the game, Zemus, when he is killed by FuSoYa and Golbez]]. He literally exists to consume all life, and first appears as a spirit that can't be harmed, but once the Crystal is used on him, he transforms into a being that would make H.R. Giger proud.

** Jenova is an {{Expy}} of the creature from ''Film/TheThing1982'' and conceptual sibling to [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Lavos]]. Jenova has no set form, and mimics the appearance of its prey; in this case, the vague outline of a woman, with missing limbs and [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyeballs in place of nipples]]. Its descent marked the downfall of the [[{{Precursors}} Cetra civilization]]. By extension, Sephiroth - the fruit of a project to create Jenova-infused superbabies - is [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human]], half-Eldritch Abomination.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', BigBad Ultimecia becomes this under her OneWingedAngel form. A building-sized, multi-coloured, symetrical, mishapen, grotesque... thing, with a black void with a flickering light for a face and a starry night inside of her "gown", [[SpaceTimeEater who unravels and absorbs the whole space-time continuum just by being there]].

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', Sin is a giant monster the size of a city that emerges from the depths of the ocean to completely annihilate all settlements larger than small villages at random intervals and terrorized Spira for a thousand years. Even if it is defeated by a High Summoner, [[spoiler:by sacrificing himself and his friends]], it returns a few years later [[spoiler:by reincarnating from the body of the High Summoner's closest friend]] to continue its rampage. Sin leaves swarms of smaller monsters in its path and everyone who survives coming into contact with its toxins (fortunately) suffers from massive memory loss. And apparently, it can wipe out entire armies by causing distortions of space.

* Xagor of ''[[VideoGame/SaGa3 Final Fantasy Legend 3]]'', which resemble nothing more than a mass of flailing tentacles and fanged mouths.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'':

** The crash of the ''Gelnika'' contains a slew of monsters simply called "Unknown", "Unknown 2", and "Unknown 3"; they're so horrible and unearthly, the game doesn't know what to call them.

** Seriously, one of the game quotes for this this thing is: "From the sky it comes, heartless and bloodless—Omega, Bringer of the End! Unleash your might in the name of destruction... and may all men know despair!"

** Those nameless... ''things'' that lurk below the ocean floor.

''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' has many [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]]

* Chaos from the original ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Final Fantasy]]'' is an Eldritch Abomination created by an endless time loop.
* Cloud of Darkness from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* Zeromus in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' is more or less the AnthropomorphicPersonification of anger and hatred, borne from the soul of an ancient, evil alien wizard. [[http://www.videogamesprites.net/FinalFantasy4/Bosses/Zeromus2.gif And he looks like this.]]

* Kefka from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', [[spoiler:once he absorbed the three goddesses]], stands atop a large tower of human flesh and organs whose floors represent the levels in Dante's Divine Comedy.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', Necron fits this to a T, with the effect being accentuated by horrific [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62MkCz0f83s scenery and music]]. Necron (like Amarant) was a replacement name chosen because the original would have exceeded their name character limit. Its original name? ''"The Darkness of Eternity"''.
** Also, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HM7kgvbr2E Ozma]]. Like Necron, it happens to be a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere.

** [[spoiler:Yu Yevon and The Final Aeon]]. The former is the still lingering sentiment of a long dead summoner who frequently possesses Aeons for the purpose of destroying the world and is the unholy will [[spoiler:powering Sin]]. The latter, while benevolent (usually), is powerful, and its warped form is [[PoweredByAForsakenChild crafted from the loving sacrifice of a Guardian for his/her Summoner]]. An example is [[spoiler:Seymour]]'s Anima, whose domain is ''pain''.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' has all of the summonable Espers, being based on a mix of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics Lucavi]] and past final bosses.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'' brings back Atomos, everyone's favorite inter-dimensional nightmare from V and IX. This time, [[spoiler:it is actually quite capable of devouring a timeline.]]
* The world of Ivalice in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' is so heavily populated with Eldritches, it's a wonder anyone is still scared at this point. ''All of the summons'' are varying degrees of this, plus the final boss of the sequel DS game, the Occuria...
* The Fal'Cie from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' are also this, despite looking for the most part like bizarre machine-things.
** In [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2 the sequel]] there's Gogmagog, an abomination that the above mentioned Fal'Cie had to throw out of the time-space continuum to be rid of.

* ''Chaotic Darkness'' of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyBraveExvius'': a Vision of the darkness and evil hidden in the hearts of the people living in Lapis; its first appearance is a skeletal... thing, and its second looks like an amalgamation of various enemies you would have met in your travels. And summoned to prove that the world is ebolt and deserves to be destroyed....

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2'' has [[spoiler:the Neukhia, whose presence is so dangerously poweful, even having a LIMB in Ivalice presents an apocalyptic threat]]

* Similar to ''V'', the crash of the ''Gelnika'' contains a slew of monsters simply called "Unknown", "Unknown 2", and "Unknown 3"; they're so horrible and unearthly, the game doesn't know what to call them.
