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

** In the Advance remake, the Holy Dragon's souped-up form in the [[Bonus Dungeon|Dragon's Den]] will ''dualcast'' Heartless Angel with Southern Cross. That's a [[Total Party Kill|total party kill]] unless you used reraise, which is unlikely, since the dragon gives no prior warning to this combo. [[It Got Worse|Worse]], you have to trek through the ''entire'' [[That One Level|Dragon's Den]] again!

** Sieze, used by the tentacle monster in Figaro Castle. It causes slow, and if a slowed party member is hit with Sieze, then the tentacle grabs him and leeches off his or her health, as well as taking them out of battle for a couple turns. And there's four tentacles, when you have three characters max at that point in the game. There is a way to counter it, thankfully; equipping Running Shoes will auto-haste your characters, preventing the tentacles from grabbing that character. Good luck figuring it out yourself, though.

** There's also [[Bonus Boss]] Emerald Weapon's Aire Tam Storm, which deals 1,111 damage per materia equipped on the target party member. Since [[Guide Dang It|nobody mentions this little detail]] it almost always does maximum damage, and since it targets everyone, well... You'd better have Phoenix and Final Attack equipped. And if you know the [[Sdrawkcab Name|trick]], it becomes trivial to take out half of its hit points in retaliation. Still a [[Guide Dang It]] on the first play through, but one you can use to your advantage.

** [[Bonus Boss]] Ruby Weapon also has quite an annoying [[That One Attack]] in Whirlsand, which removes one character from battle, basically making them permanently dead for the rest of the battle. He can use this attack ''two times'' in a row if you're not prepared. [[Guide Dang It|You have to wait until Ruby Weapon buries its claws in the sand,]] and start the battle with two members dead to dodge Whirlsand. Still, not an ideal start one would like for the battle.
