Which is your FAVORITE spell from ANY FF and WHY (summons do not count as spells)

[Tidus613]

Sorry for no topics yesterday I was sick and not feeling well.

But for todays topic I will say Meteor from FF7 is my favorite spell. And the reason is quite simple, whats cooler than calling for a massive chunk of rock to fall out of the sky and SLAM in to your enemy at ultrafast speeds. AAAAAAAAAAAND to top it off you get to leave a nice crater that says DONT F WITH ME. What say you TFF community.

Hmm. This is a tough one. There are SO MANY.

But, as a career White Mage, I think I have got to throw my vote in for Holy. Specifically, Holy II, in FFXI. See, when playing a "proper" White Mage on the back lines, I'll often have the Afflatus Solace ability up. This keeps a running counter of all HP that I heal with cure spells. When Afflatus Solace is active, and a Holy spell is cast, the cumulative total of HP cured will augment the damage of the Holy spell. (Then the counter is reset, granted.)

Imagine being a White Mage and dealing 4000+ damage in a single blow. Yep.

I always liked the Ultima spell from the series, my favorite is in FFVI where it looks like an atomic nuke going off and then the whole screen flashes, it was pretty cool for its time and its still cool today.

Hmm I have to admit choosing one spell is rather difficult, does one go by their graphic effects, damage, usefulness, or perhaps some other criteria...

For cool factor I think I will go with Beta (with Matra Magic coming in second, missiles man missiles) because its like a towering burning tornado-vortex thing of doom that you learn from a giant damn snake.

For utility I would go with Big Guard because is there anything better than Protect, Shell, and Haste all cast simultaneously on all your players?

Yes I have a 'thing' for Enemy Skills even though I didn't get around to leveling a Blue Mage in FFXI.

I WILL CLARIFY AGAIN, YOUR FAVORITE SPELL I DONT CARE WHAT YOU BASE IT ON, WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO LITERAL. Ill make it easy and ill rephrase the question. WHICH SPELL DO YOU LOVE FOR WHATEVER REASON???

I like Knights of the Round, even though it's a summon. I'm sorry, but having a spell that summons your very own small Amy of skilled knights to really turn the tide if any battle? Hells to the freaking yeah?! >=D

Now are we talking about spells we can't cast? Because Meteor from FFVII and Ultima from FFIX are non-castable by your party. and if OP is going to choose a spell he can't cast I'm going to choose Ultima from FFIX but it's not even my favorite spell because I can't cast it.

Doomsday FFIX. Which is better than any spell in any FF game next to maybe Ultima and Holy. That spell also shows how dangerous Vivi really is. He has a spell called DOOMSDAY, that little shit can cast a doomsday. I can never die with Vivi in my party with the right gear Vivi is my healer and my main attacker all in one spell.

Seems you missed the "Summons do not count as spells" portion of the title.

I apologize if I was the one taking it too literally, I just have a habit of thinking and then thinking some more and then it spirals out of control.

Don't feel you have to apologize, that's how you generate discussion. This is a forum after all.

I don't really have one favourite spell, there's so many of them it's hard to choose. I love the heavy hitting non-elemental spells, like Flare, Ultima and Meteor. You won't be hanging around long after taking repeated blows from these spells, I could swear they ignore Defence and Reflect in some games too.


I like the buffing spells too (Protect, Shell, Haste, Blink etc). I always make sure to spend the first few turns of a boss battle setting them up, especially on II and XII where they give you so much to work with. I cant get enough of it.

Probably the Dia family of spells from the original Final Fantasy. You couldn't cast Cure to damage undead foes in this game, so they gave you the Dia spells to make undead battles much easier to be victorious. Sure, you could cast Fire on them, but it just isn't the same.

It's a little similar to Holy in that it is a divine light that damages the enemy.
