Was it Final Fantasy VI (also known as Final Fantasy III in the US)? There's definitely a boss in that game that can be 1-shot with Phoenix Down.

Hmmmm I don't think it was FF. It was on SNES. Trying to find the name.

Edit: mate said "Most likely FF Mystic Quest. Heal 2 different bone skeletons to kill."

Final Fantasy VI/III was a SNES game. The other 2 SNES Final Fantasy games were Final Fantasy IV (Final Fantasy II in the US) and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

Mystic Quest came to mind for me too, but I was thinking one of the final bosses takes 9999 damage if you use a heal spell on him. You have to do it a few times to kill him.
