    If they say "Omega Weapon" then they mean the alternate more powerful version of Ultima Weapon. Omega Weapon is more of a beast rather than a robot (although it can sometimes have some robotic parts)
    Just to be fair to Torquil here, "Omega" and "Omega Weapon" do not both appear in any one single game, only one or the other. And consider in Final Fantasy Theatrhythm, a game where pretty much every single reoccurring and popular enemy receives a "Card", that there is an "Omega" Card, and no "Omega Weapon" card, while simultaneously having an "Ultima Weapon" card... it would not be difficult to assume they are the same entity despite appearance differences


    If we're using FF lore, it should also be noted both Omega and Ultima were added into FFXI at the same time, as bosses, Omega possessing the "Spider mech" look, and Ultima not having "Weapon" in the name, but both being the known mechanic menaces. It should also be noted that Omega weapon only appears in (Main series)games Ultima weapon exists in, but not all of them... "Omega" appearing in the others, but not all of them.

    But I believe Omega Weapon is actually just introduced as a +1 to Ultima weapon in games it appears... where as "Omega" is more an interdimensional beast/traveler like Gilgamesh and other reaccuring bosses that the game alludes are actually all the same boss just traveling dimensions.

    Also lastly, for lore...

    According to the Urutan-Yensa bestiary entry in Final Fantasy XII, Omega Mark XII was created by an inventor for the request of an unknown patron to defeat a monstrous wyrm.
    A dragon which flits through dimensions in pursuit of Omega. Enemies drown in the face of its strength. It guards a legendary sword, but neither its treasure nor power offer any clue why it might lurk in a box...
    This makes me feel that we'll likely be getting "Omega Weapon", the +1 Ultima weapon... not "Omega", its likely if they stick to FF lore, "Omega" will be introduced near or alongside Shinryu.

    With FF10 being the exception. Ultimate Weapon was a spawn of the Omega Weapon in FF10 (both being extreemly powerful Unsent aka Feinds/Monsters)

    No, there is only Omega Weapon in FF10, not Omega.

    Which are the exact same thing. FF10 is also the sole exception to the name as well. All other refrences somply call it "Omega".

    But it battle entity is registered as Omega Weapon. If you're talking about FFX, and speak about Omega, you're talking about that Yu Yevon monk. If you're talking about FFX, and topic relating Omega Weapon, you're talking about what became of him since he was never sent or something like that.

    Yes, thank you. Omega was an Unsent Monk who died on an island after exile. The fiend he turned into was "The Omega WEAPON" as in the Weapon of the Monk Omega.
