Are Omega raid bosses a joke to you?

No, the Omega raid storyline actually went to decent lengths to legitimize its angle; a lot of those bosses were described as in-universe fiction that Omega misunderstood, while later it blurred the lines into 'actually Omega legitimately might've met Kefka', to seed the idea that actually this might be The Omega. It's very easy to dismiss Omega as blind fanservice, but there's more going on.

No, the joke to me is Gilgamesh. But that's because it's Gilgamesh, he's always a joke.
