Before anyone says anything, do note that there are quite a few versions of FFIV out there. There's this, which is the PSX port of the SNES version (which was called FFII in america). There's also a GBA remake, and something about an EasyType version in Japan or something, I don't remember. So yea, there are differences. This is closest to the SNES version. The GBA version isn't anything like this as far as difficulty is, so don't compare.
Okay so battle starts. Zeromus main attack is Big Bang. You will learn to hate this attack. You should know my levels from the previous video, and as you can see, even with ultimate armor, it still hits hard. At LV60-65, Rydia and Edge can barely survive one, much less two in a row. Rosa will have to spam Cure 4 at all times. In fact, if you know Zeromus is about to attack and it's Rosa's turn, hold off on Cure 4 until he attacks (unless you're low on HP). Big Bang also induces a status ailment that saps your HP away as time goes by. This makes it even harder to survive.
So yea, Cecil should attack, Kain should jump, Edge should throw your best whatever, Rosa Cure 4, and Rydia summon Bahamut if you have him (Or Leviathan/Mist). Don't use her Meteo if you have it, it takes FOREVER to cast, and even though it hits for 9k, it makes Zeromus counter with Weak, which you don't want. As for Edge, do note I didn't buy anything for him to throw. And I did NOT do the stupid Excalibur cloning glitch. I can't belive people actually recorded themselves throwing Excaliburs as if no one would notice it. But yea, I only had some things to throw with him. But if you do have powerful weapons to toss away, use them, he can be your best attacker at this level, even though he's extremely weak in defense.
After minutes of pummeling him with attacks, you should win. The other strat is to let Rydia and Edge die if they fall. Rosa's cure is more effective if it heals less people. You can even have just Cecil and Rosa do this if they're LV60-65, with a Cure 4 every turn and an attack from Cecil. Just pray something doesn't go wrong. Oh yea, don't use Holy either, he counters that too. But yea, your most important party members are Rosa (above all) and Cecil. Cure 4 is a MUST to spam, unless you think you're big enough to eat Big Bangs and use Elixers safely. Speaking of which, you CAN buy Elixers in the "secret" cave on the moon. They cost about 100k of gil, and I bought 10, which cost me 1 million gil. But if you've been leveling in the final dungeon, 1 million of gil isn't that hard to get. In fact I've had about 5 million by the time I got to level 60 with everyone. One last word of advice. TURN DOWN BATTLE SPEED. I mean, all the way down. If you don't he'll probably Big Bang you twice in a row before you get C
ure 4 out and it'll be game over. Trust me.

Q: Wasn't this Final Fantasy II on the SNES?
A: The US originally never got the real Final Fantasy II (or the real FFIII), so they eventually got FFIV, but since it was only the second FF to be released in the US it was called FFII on the SNES. All other versions of the game were changed to FFIV in the US, so that is what the game is. The real FFII is a completely different game.
Q: How come Edge doesn't throw any weapons?
A: Too lazy to get them. I didn't even bother getting Excalibur.
Q: Is this on an emulator?
A: Nope, it's the PSX port from the SNES version, it came with a package called Final Fantasy Chronicles that also has a port of Chrono Trigger from the SNES.

PS: does anybody have the GBA version?
I might have to replay this and find out... OR the PSX port changed a few things to make it more challenging. Cause I just played it on the genuine SNES.
a. You didn't get it in the video(which is understandable due to the amount of time it can take.)
b. You didn't mention it in your description
c. Someone only vaguely referenced it in your comments.
I've seen most of your videos and can assume you are the kind of person that would have known about it, so I didn't really mean that in a condescending way if that's how you took it.
Maybe I'll do a check up on it...
SNES - Easy
GBA - Normal
PSX - Hard
Played all 3(twice), so I would know.
Japan version - original, only in japan, but there is a fan made patch (for emulators) that translates it to english
US version aka FF2 - It's much easier than original, and some things are censored, this version just sucks
Japan Easytype version - It's even easier than US version...
And the PSX version is just Japan version translated to english. So, yes, it is harder than US version.
