Ozma is my favorite boss in any Final Fantasy. The randomness of his attacks and the fact that sometimes Meteor just flat out kills you makes him a reasonably challenging boss despite having only 1/1000 of Yiazmat's HP (assuming you're at a reasonable level). My perfect game was the first time I've gotten to fight Ozma legitimately in a while, so I took advantage of that and did it at a reasonably low level and without completing the friendly monster sidequest, and without using fixed damage.
