Sounds like I need to play again.

Takes a while but level up to at least 85 or 90 for the Omega fight. Cap is 120 and I'd personally suggest maxing out but it could probably be done around 90. Stock full stacks of elixirs and megalixirs and some mega phoenixes as well. And most importantly, have every character equip a ribbon accessory, as it will blast you frequently with an attack that inflicts every status ailment in the game. It will frequently one-shot 1-3 party members and it's fast and attacks relentlessly.

It has three forms that are cyclical; normal, shielded and berserk. Only royal arms and high level spells affect it in normal mode. Nothing hurts it in shielded mode. I won't spoil too much of the rest because it's fun figuring it out. Expect to game over a few times if you go in blind.

I beat it once just to say I did. I have absolutely no desire to do it again

I have much more fun just exploring, and replaying hunts and finding new quests that got overlooked. I've caught myself driving around to different spots and fishing for hours at a time, especially after they added fishing from the royal vessel, and the Bismarck encounter that only happens on the open sea, and leads to catching the tuna that drops the game's best recipeh ingredient.

Just checked and have 360 hours game time on 3 playthroughs and still finding new things to do occasionally, so the content is definitely not lacking.
