Final Fantasy V is the first title in the series to have bosses simply for the challenge. These two bosses are found late in the game, in the N-Zone. Omega Weapon is easy to find. Shinryu though is hidden in a chest.

Omega Weapon

To beat Omega, you will need to be well over level 50. My recomendation is 60-65. You will need as many characters as you can have the !Sshot, !Sword LV 5, and the 2-Swords learned. You will also need 4 Fire Rings. This is imparitive, since most of Omega's attacks are fire-based. This is how I did my set-up:

Bartz-Mime

Abilities-!White 6, !Time 5, !Blue

Reina-Bare

Abilities-!Sword 5, !Sshot

Faris-Bare

Abilities-!Sword 5, !Sshot

Krile-Mime

Abilities-!White 6, !Sword 5, !Sshot

When the battle begins, have Bartz cast Haste 2, and have the others cast Bolt 3 to their weapons. On the next trun have Bartz cast Guardian, while the others begin the pounding on Omega. If you are getting taken down, use white wind. Just keep yourself alive, and pound away at Omega. If you feel confident enough, have someone cast Bolt 3 to their weapon, and Bartz mime it. This will give you 4 people hitting him with Bolted weapons. Eventually he will finally fall. When you defeat Omega, you will get the Omega Badge. This may not seem like much, but you can trade it into the Kalm Traveler for a great prize!!! Oops, wrong game. The badge is just to say you beat Omega.

Shinryu

Beating Omega was difficult. But he is nothing compared to what is hiding in the chest at the bottom of the 3rd areas stairs. Inside you will find the long forgotten dragon Shinryu.
This dragon can basically force Bahamut to lick it's feet! I had an easier time beating WEAPONS in VII, than I did this beast!
Ok, here is what is recomened by everyone online, And even the official Bradygames Strategy Guide ® says you will need. 4 Coral Rings, and 8 Dragon Lances. Dragon Lances are rarely stolen from Crystal Dragons, in the same area. You also need to have !Jump for all your characters.
Before continuing, let me tell you...I have owned this game inside of 7 years, and I have yet to obtain one of these lances! I finally beat Shinryu with another method...and a little luck.
First, you definately need to go buy the 4 coral rings. Shinryu frequently attacks with Tidal Wave. Now spend some time going around, and getting a lot of money. We are talking millions here. I spent 5 hours just maxing my cash out. These are the classes I had.

Bartz-Mime

Abilities-!Toss, White 6, Time 5, !Blue

Reina-Bare

Abilities-!Toss, White 6

Faris-Bare

Abilities-!Toss, White 6

Krile-Bare

Abilities-!Toss, !Blue

At the start of battle, Shinryu will cast Tidal Wave. This will heal you with the Coral Rings. Have Bartz cast Haste 2, Reina and Faris use !Toss, and have Krile cast Guardian. In the next round have Bartz heal, and the rest toss money. If you think you can handle it, Have Bartz mime a !Toss for added damage. be sure everyone can heal with white magic. It is also recomended everyone be able to cast Life 2, just in case someone gets taken out. This is not a garonteed win. I lost 3 times, before i was able to beat Shinryu. It is a matter of timing, and Shinryu being more than generous with Tidal Wave. Once you defeat shinryu you will get the Ragnarok Sword, and the Dragon Seal. This is definately the best weapon in the entire game. And as for the Seal...it is all about the bragging rights baby!!
