That One Attack/Video Games/Role-Playing Game/Final Fantasy: Difference between revisions

** High levelled parties can take advantage of the long animations the strongest attacks (including your own) often have by [[Game Breaker|combining the Auto-Haste and Auto-Regen abilities]]. That way, even if the first attack leaves you hurting, the second will take so long to actually inflict its damage that you'll have healed (nearly) to full.

* In ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'': {{spoiler|Yunalesca}} has an attack called Hellbiter that does a good share of damage to each party member and causes mass zombie status. And what's your [[Revive Kills Zombie|first reaction upon seeing your entire party in a state of near death]]? For more fun, this attack is followed up later in the battle by an attack which {{spoiler|kills any non-zombie characters}}. Oh, and watch out for Mind Blast too.

** Sin's Overdrive Giga-Graviton not only takes the party out, but it takes out the airship you're on for an automatic Game Over, putting a fixed round limit (16 rounds) on a battle you basically have to fight with magic only.

** Dark Yojimbo's Zanmato overdrive. Did you have a summon out? You live this time. Did you ''not'' have a summon out? Congratulations, your party's dead, and your Auto-Life crumbles like a biscuit hit with a hammer.

** Chaos's Aeroja. It deals wind damage and confuses. Not so bad since your allies will snap out of it with a bonk to the head right? Normally so; except in Chaos's battle, you can't use physical attacks at all. So you can't snap yourself out of confusion if all three allies are confused in the fight.

** Ultima's Holyja. It deals holy damage and causes Reverse. Ultima then casts Renew on your team shortly after Holyja (no charge time required) causing an instant kill. If Reflect is on your team when it happens...

** Yiazmat's Reflect and Renew strategy... if not caught, you can heal the boss of all of his HP. all 50,000,000 of it.

* ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' has Merciless Judgment, employed by the final boss, {{spoiler|Orphan}}. It's basically like Supernova, except it can kill you unless you have nearly full health or a sentinel on your team. Oh yeah, and it resets the boss' stagger meter.

** The [[Boss in Mook Clothing|Adamantoises]] generally don't have attacks that ''don't'' suck, but the worst by far is Roar. It deals horrifying damage to ALL party members, and, worst of all, tends to inflict Daze on at least one party member. Daze is like Sleep in other FF games--it keeps the character from taking ANY action until they're hit by another attack and/or it wears off. If it lands on the healer or the leader, or anyone at all if the damage from Roar KOed some characters...well, you're screwed. Everything else the toises have can be dealt with simply, but the best strategy for handling Roar is to kill the monster before it uses it. [[Damage Sponge Boss|Good luck]] [[Cognizant Limbs|with]] [[Marathon Boss|that]].

* ''[[Final Fantasy XIII-2]]'' has its own fair share of annoying attacks, especially the often spammed debuffing attacks.
