Omega Weapon?

[Lusavari]

For the sake of argument here... I REALLY don't think the dev team wants to just throw a reskinned and harder Ultima at us. The Omega in this game is going to be the Robot one. They can just do Ultima Extreme if they want to do another fight with that model. Most like, Omega is the Unknown Trial for the upcoming patch, and it will be a pretty hard fight with Atomic Ray and other such moves.

As for the debate of "Is Omega the same across games?" No. It is not. 5 is the first appearance of Omega. The only times it could be the same are the retcons into the 1 and 4 worlds, as well as the Arena at the end of Time in 13-2. The 7 version of Omega is retconned into the world through Dirge of Cerberus as the planet's creation in a final effort to save the souls on the planet. Omega is generated from the life stream. In 8, Omega is an enhanced version of Ultima, and created through Ultimecia's magic, much like all else in her castle. In 10, Omega was a disgraced monk who was banished and Cursed Yevon, while Ultima was a shadow of his rage. In 11, it was a Bio-technological Weapon created by the Zilart, Notably to fight Wyrms. Similarly, in XII, you fight Omega Mk. XII, which is a sleeping robot in its twelfth iteration having slept in crystal of untold periods of time and consuming Mist such that it may one day face Yzamat. The Omega in 5 would be the predecessor to Mk. XII. In fact, if anything, the Mk. XII further suggests that the Omegas are all Separate, though they may have had similar origins, with some having been created in the same universe.

Pretty sure that Omega in XIII-2 was the same Omega as the one from V though.
