About Ozma....

Ozma wasn't that bad once you got past it's first attack. Throw a tent at it; gives it all kinds of status ailments without being able to resist them. Silenced and Blinded Ozma is a joke.

Didn't even play 9 long enough so the fear isn't there, nor the interest heh

Well, in order to get past his pre-emptive Doomsday attack, at least one character had to have shadow protection, otherwise it was a very short fight. In contrast to your statement, this is the easiest part of the battle. This is a scripted part of the fight, and the only non-random attack Ozma does. Coming prepared for it allowed you to begin the fight with your strongest attacks since you force Ozma to waste a turn by coming in with shadow protection.

Ozma was made so difficult that the designers added a couple of options to weaken him. There is the tent as you mentioned, and there was the dark matter, or whatever it was called that takes away his ability to absorb shadow damage. Each reduced his difficulty drastically. If you wanted the full challenge, you needed to beat him without those aids.
