Master junctioning magic and have 100's stacks of high level magic. You can make your characters gods with proper magic-junctioning to where only Omega Weapon poses a threat.

Otherwise, I don't know... I never fought her fairly before lol.

Have one person use triple aura and heal when needed whilst other two just pound away with their limit breaks

1. Have all the GF's.
2. Have them all maxed out.
3. Have 100 stacks of all magic.
4. Upgrade all weapons to max level.
5. ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ up.

if you leveled up to high you'll have to invest time and effort into making your characters beast (255 attack, vit, spirit, etc.....). or you know, save before the fight, put selphie in yellow and spam do overs on her special until it reads "the end"


if you don't want to go through the trouble of doing all that than it'll take awhile but you can beat her pretty easy with a few of squall's specials and two healers (keep squall in yellow to use his special and the other two players simply heal and use revive when need be).... its simple and it may take awhile but it works on just about every boss in the game.

If non of this advice has helped, tell me your team, level and limit list and im sure it will be easy to think of a simple strat to win ;) (item list and magic list would help, but not needed)

I have accepted, let me know whenever you want advice on the fight. (its 1 am here right now, so maybe not this very second lol)
I think the best party to acompany Squall is Qustis (Whitewind and that limitbreak that ads shell and protect on party cant remember the name). And Rinoa with her Angelo and Invisible Moon :) with a little luck it will proc. Then just spam Squall's Lion Heart. And as mentioned above, you should be magic junctioned as hell. If your target is under 0 vitality condition before spamming Lionheart also helps. Meltdown will do. Oh and dont forget to obtain Tonberry GF at Cetra ruins :)

I remember scamming through with Rinoa's Angel mode + meteor. There is a way you can junction certain spells to her, so that she casts pretty much only one spell (meteor) constantly. (Check Gamefaqs).
Whole game is simple. With Rinoa you only learn Invincible Moon, and keep her and Squall at low hp for all your major battles. Don't learn her other dog tricks as her limit breaks are random and mess up your chances at Invincibility popping. Once it does you're home free to limit break to your heart's content. I popped Omega the same way.

All you have to do is get their ultimate weapons, a few good magics to junction to hp and strength.

Oh and I finished the whole lot without levelling once btw.

Gamefaqs will give you advice on setups.
The way I did it was get everyones ultimate weapons. Junction stuff like haste to speed, pain to status-def, hp/vit as well.
Wind, earth & holy to elem-def. Drain to status-atk. This way most of her spells will be useless since you'll absorb or nullify them. Drain will let you regain some hp from physically attacking her.
Use meltdown to reduce her vit to 0 make sure you can cast aura on squall so he can use lionheart.
Quistis uses mighty guard or Selphies wall spell to buff your party up.
Make sure you have lots of megalixirs so you can heal quickly when she uses Hell's Judgement.

GFs arent really useful since she can 1-shot them. Hope this helps.

Okay. You need three characters for the Ultimecia fight. My recommendation is:
Squall, Irvine, Zell.
Why, you ask? Because Square is massively sexist and they do the best physical damage in the game. By this point, you'll have about 5-8 pages of magic per character with a bit of spillover. I'm guessing you're around 6000-8000HP Junction and your stats are in the 100-200 region. This is more than enough. If you've been levelling up, this is a problem. Ultimecia gets harder the more you level up.
Right now, what you need to focus on is finding a magic called 'Meltdown'. It reduces her Vitality to 0 and you can do massive damage with an Aura-Renzokuken combo. Aura-Duel works well if you want to focus your strength on Zell (If you have the Zell card, Card Mod it now for the 3 Hyper Wrists to give +60% str on the boys.)
Prep: 20 Auras, 10 Meltdowns, Refine all items into ammo. Make sure your strength is in the 200+ regions for two characters, the third can be a healer with Magic at 170-200.
Battle:
Your characters will be chosen at random. Literally kill people until Zell and Irvine turn up.
1st Ultimecia is easy. just one Meltdown-Aura-Renzokuken/Shot/Duel will kill her.
1st Griever is similarly easy. If he gets rid of your strength junction, don't panic, use the other character and simply pound away with Meltdown-Aura-Shot/Renzo.
The combination boss is a little tricky, but if you manage to simply get the first limit break in, another 2 and it's down.
The final boss will be about 3 Aura Renzokukens + Lionhearts, and when she starts talking, keep hitting her till she's finished. Make sure to draw the Apocalypse magic (More powerful than ultima) and use it on her! Watch out for Hells Judgement it reduces everyone to 1 hp!!!!

Good luck and enjoy the ending sequence.
