Deathlike2's FF4 Spell Info Version 1.15 dlfaqs@gmail.com started on 5/11/08 submitted on 1/20/09 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction ------------ When I saw FF2 (SNES) for the first time, I was in love with the game. I love all the various incarnations of this game, and it's great seeing the little differences between the versions. I wrote this FAQ because there are many details lacking in the current spell guides for this game put up. I commend BSiron's original FF2 (SNES) Algo FAQ for getting the basic info out there. It lacks a few details, which my document will cover. I will also try to dispel stupid rumors that people have regarding this game as well. This document will cover the following versions/ports that will be referenced in the guide: FF2 - Final Fantasy 2 (SNES), both revisions 1.0 and 1.1 FF4 - Final Fantasy 4 (Super Famicom, - Japanese) FF4ET - Final Fantasy 4 Easytype (Super Famicom, - Japanese)* FF4A - Final Fantasy 4 Advance, US and Euro versions (matches up with Jap 1.0 and 1.1 revisions respectively) *Note: This game is NOT FF2 in Japanese. When I make reference to the SNES ports, I mean FF2, FF4, and FF4ET unless a specific version is mentioned. This info has not been tested or verified with the following versions/ports: FF4PS - Final Fantasy 4 PSX port (from the FF Anthologies Collection) FF4WS - Final Fantasy 4 Wonderswan port FF4DS - Final Fantasy 4 DS port So, not to keep you waiting too much, onto the spells! There spells will be listed in the following format: Name: This is self-explanatory. Casting Time: A delay is inserted before the spell is cast. Higher values imply a longer delay. Increasing Agility helps to reduce the impact of the delay. There is no delay for monsters casting a spell. MP Cost: This is self explanatory. Monsters require and consume 0 MP to cast a spell, which implies that MP is irrelevant for them. Status Effect: A status effect may be inflicted as part of the spell. Elemental: When a spell is based on an elemental, the target's weakness, resistance, or immunity can change the damage dealt. It is also possible that the target can absorb the elemental magic attack. Spell Power: For attack spells, this is generally applied against Magic Defense of the target to compute the damage taken/dealt. The internal value for most spells is Spell Power/4. The internal value for summons is Spell Power/8. Targeting: There are 8 different possibilities of targeting. Any spell that always targets all opponents or all allies will avoid split damage. Monsters casting spells tend to ignore spell targeting data and use their battle script targeting data instead. Hit Rate: The success of the spell is determined by this value. Boss Bit: If set, this spell will always fail on monsters with the boss bit set. Solo Multiplier: If set, this spell will always have a spell multiplier of 1 and the target will have at most a magic defense multiplier of 1. Ignore Reflect: If true, this spell will ignore Reflect status on the target. Notes: Any other relevant info will be provided here. Spells (in the order they are listed internally) ------ Hold Casting Time: 1 MP Cost: 5 Status Effect: Paralyze Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 85 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This spell's success appears to be level driven as well. This spell will automatically fail if paralysis or other statuses that have a greater priority are inflicted. High Will Power or monster Spell Power will reduce the duration of the status. Mute/Silence Casting Time: 2 MP Cost: 6 Status Effect: Silence Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 90 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Silence status disables every non-monster spell magic sets, which include White, Black, Twin, Ninja/Ninjutsu, Call/Summon. Charm/Confuse Casting Time: 1 MP Cost: 10 Status Effect: Charm Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 75 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Monsters affected by Charm status will run their "Charm" scripts, which do not guarantee them hurting themselves. Characters affected by Charm status will either attack or cast a random White or Black magic spell, assuming the character has that option. FF4A appears to prevent the casting of Meteor and Holy by your characters intentionally. Blink Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 8 Status Effect: Image (2) Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default ally Hit Rate: 50 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: The target is able to evade two physical attacks with this status. Armor/Protect Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 9 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: +5 Defense Targeting: one/all targets, default one ally Hit Rate: 66 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: When successful, this spell increases the afflicted target's defense by 5, to a max of 255. The SNES version of the game visually displays spell failure when defense is maxed. Failure of this spell can be frequent due to low Will Power/Spirit of the caster. Multitargeting does not reduce the power of the spell. Although this spell is "dummied out" of FF2, it is cast by the Mind monster vs physical attacks. This is also a spell not normally castable in FF4ET, but can be cast as a weapon-item via the Defender and Murasame. The spell is also cast by Endure/Gird, which follows the same rules as the spell, except that in FF4A, the enemy does not benefit when the spell is reflected. The Protect bonus is not applied in the Zeromus battle, even though the animation shows success and Zeromus never makes a physical attack. Shell Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 10 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: +3 Magic Defense Targeting: one/all targets, default one ally Hit Rate: 66 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: When successful, this spell increases the afflicted target's magic defense by 3, to a max of 255. The SNES version of the game visually displays spell failure when magic defense is maxed. Failure of this spell can be frequent due to Will Power/Spirit of the caster. Multitargeting does not reduce the power of the spell. Although this spell is "dummied out" of FF2, it is cast by the Mind monster vs Holy elemental magic. This is also a spell not normally castable in FF4ET, but can be cast as a weapon-item via the Elven Bow. The Shell bonus is not applied in the Zeromus battle, even though the animation shows success. Slow Casting Time: 1 MP Cost: 14 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: +8 Speed Modifier Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 70 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: The default speed modifier is 16 for all targets. Slow increases this modifier by 8 points. The highest this modifier can be is at 32. At 32, the target's ATB is twice as slow. This spell slows down every timer, except for Count/Doom. Fast/Haste Casting Time: 1 MP Cost: 25 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: -3 Speed Modifier Targeting: one target, default ally Hit Rate: 50 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: The default speed modifier is 16 for all targets. Haste decreases this modifier by 3 points. The lowest this modifier can be is at 12. At 12, the target's ATB seems to increase by 25%. This spell quickens every timer, except for Count/Doom. Monsters targeting characters with this spell is treated negatively and is blocked by magic defense. Bersk/Berserk Casting Time: 1 MP Cost: 18 Status Effect: Berserk Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default ally Hit Rate: 50 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This can be used to increase the target's attack power base by 50% for the duration of the status. It will also cause the target uncontrollably make physical attacks to random enemy targets. Wall/Reflect Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 30 Status Effect: Wall/Reflect Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default ally Hit Rate: 75 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: In the SNES version, reflecting a spell causes the monster's magic counter script to be avoided. For instance, a Behemoth doesn't react to Holy when it is reflected. Also, certain spell palettes are modified when reflected in the SNES version. In FF4A, the Wicked Mask's Reflect always succeeds unlike the SNES version. For magic in general, all spells that are cast towards the enemy and is considered a negative attack and magic evasion is tested against. You will find that the EvilMask's Reflect can fail to be applied in the SNES versions, hence the change made in FF4A. White/Holy Casting Time: 3 (2 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 46 Status Effect: HP Leak (if the target is weak vs the elemental) Elemental: Holy Spell Power: 340 Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 99 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: HP Leak is inflicted if and only if the enemy is weak vs Holy. Sounds and graphics are executed regardless of the success of the spell. Dispel Casting Time: 1 MP Cost: 12 Status Effect: removes Berserk, Stop (only when Count/Doom is inflicted), HP Leak, Wall/Reflect, Barrier, Image (2), Image (1) Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 70 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: In the SNES version, this spell cannot remove Stop status, but ends its timer for characters, which freezes them indefinitely until Stop status is reapplied. This spell is dummied out of FF2 for some unknown reason. This is also a spell not normally castable in FF4ET, but can be cast as a weapon-item via the Lunar/Energy Staff. Peep/Scan/Libra Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 1 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 99 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This spell displays current and MaxHP. It also informs you of elemental weaknesses, which include Fire, Ice, Lightning, Air, Holy, and Darkness. Air elemental consists mostly of most Spears, Arrows, Boomerangs, but not the Dwarf Axe. Darkness elemental is part of the Dark Knight's weapons (but not Dark Wave). Cure1/Cure Casting Time: 1 (0 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 3 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 16 Targeting: one/all targets, default ally Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Undead targets take damage from this spell. This spell has the best MP cost to HP healing ratio outside of battle. Cure2/Cura Casting Time: 1 MP Cost: 9 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 48 Targeting: one/all targets, default ally Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Undead targets take damage from this spell. Cura3/Curaga Casting Time: 1 MP Cost: 18 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 144 Targeting: one/all targets, default ally Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Undead targets take damage from this spell. Cure4/Curaja Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 40 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 288 Targeting: one/all targets, default ally Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Undead targets take damage from this spell. Single targeted healing will heal up to 9999 in the GBA version. Up to 16384 is healed in the SNES version, and any value greater than that will heal MP instead (most notable in FF2's Asura battle). Heal/Esuna Casting Time: 2 MP Cost: 20 Status Effect: removes Stone, Frog/Toad, Mini, Piggy, Silence, Blind, Poison, Curse, Paralyze, Sleep, Charm, Gradual Petrification, Berserk (FF4A only) Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default ally Hit Rate: 80 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Berserk removal is only FF4A specific. The original spell to remove that was Dispel. This spell can be cast outside of battle while under Frog/Toad and Piggy statuses. Life1/Life Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 8 Status Effect: removes Death status Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default ally Hit Rate: 75 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This spell revives a target with HP = Vitality (Stamina) * 5. It is possible for this spell to fail in battle with Tellah. There is peculiar behavior when the Vitality/Stamina stat is 0. In the SNES version, reviving the character outside of battle will produce a 0HP "living" character, until battle starts and the characters reverts to death status. This character cannot be revived in battle. In the GBA version, reviving the character outside of battle will also produce a 0HP living character. If revived in battle, the character will have 1HP. A 0HP character will still function normally until damage is taken. This can be used in the SNES versions to get an extra kill on a monster for experience/item harvesting. Since monsters don't have a Vitality stat, they are "revived" with 0 HP, which results in another kill. This bug cannot be exposed vs bosses or Death resistant monsters. Life2/Full-Life Casting Time: 2 MP Cost: 52 Status Effect: removes Death status Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default ally Hit Rate: 80 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This spell revives a target to full HP. It is possible for this spell to fail in battle with Tellah. This can be used in the SNES versions to revive monsters for experience/item harvesting. This bug cannot be exposed vs bosses or Death resistant monsters. Size/Mini Casting Time: 4 MP Cost: 6 Status Effect: Mini Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 50 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Mini status decreases the defense and evasion of a target to 0 and doubles physical damage taken. It disables a number of commands. Monster spells are disabled in FF4A. Exit/Teleport Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 10 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: self/no target Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This spell allow exiting a battle that you are allowed to run away from without penalty. If allowed by location, it teleports the group to the entrance of the level. If cast while on a damage tile and the characters are not floating, up to 2100HP will be lost in the SNES version. Sight Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 2 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: self/no target Hit Rate: 0 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This spell creates a birds eye view in the SNES version. In the GBA version, this spell opens a special minimap. In the SNES version, the spell has a funky graphics effect when reflected. Float Casting Time: 1 MP Cost: 8 Status Effect: Float Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: all allies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: In battle, this status will allow targets to avoid Quake. Outside of battle, it will prevent damage tiles from hurting every character. This status disables Yang's Kick command in the SNES version. This status is not retained in the SNES versions when it is loaded from a save. Toad Casting Time: 3 (2 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 7 Status Effect: Toad Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 50 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This status reduces all evasion, defense, and magic evasion to 0. Spells other than Toad are disabled. Most commands are disabled. Toad status allows Edward to Sing Frog Song. Piggy Casting Time: 6 (1 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 1 Status Effect: Piggy Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 10 (40 in FF4ET) Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This status disables commands and spells other than Piggy. Warp/Degen/Dejon Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 4 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: self/no target Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Outside of battle, it warps the character to a previous entrance. Repeats castings will eventually arrive at the exit. This spell was originally intended to inflict death status on enemies. The Marion/Puppeteer monster casts this spell as part of its Charm script and you could see the originally intended effect via Reflect/Wall. Venom/Poison Casting Time: 1 MP Cost: 2 Status Effect: Poison Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 0 Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 90 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Poison resistance was not fixed until FF4A Euro version. Initial damage will always be 1, and damage from poison in battle will deal 1/8 of the target's maxHP with a minimum damage of 1. A high MaxHP for monsters or high Vitality/Stamina slows down the poison damage timer. Fire1/Fire Casting Time: 1 (0 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 5 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Fire Spell Power: 16 Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Fire2/Fira Casting Time: 3 (2 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 15 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Fire Spell Power: 64 Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Fire3/Firaga Casting Time: 4 (3 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 30 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Fire Spell Power: 256 Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Ice-1/Blizzard Casting Time: 1 (0 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 5 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Ice Spell Power: 16 Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Ice-2/Blizzara Casting Time: 3 (2 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 15 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Ice Spell Power: 64 Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Ice-3/Blizzaga Casting Time: 4 (3 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 30 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Ice Spell Power: 256 Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Lit-1/Bolt/Thunder Casting Time: 1 (0 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 5 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Lightning Spell Power: 16 Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Lit-2/Bolt2/Thundara Casting Time: 3 (2 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 15 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Lightning Spell Power: 64 Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Lit-3/Bolt3/Thundaga Casting Time: 4 (3 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 30 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Lightning Spell Power: 256 Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Virus/Bio Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 20 Status Effect: HP Leak Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 128 Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: HP Leak does an additional 60 points of damage over time (assuming no Haste/Slow involvement).

This spell can be multitargeted via Tellah's Recall/Remember command, due to command targeting having priority. Quake Casting Time: 2 MP Cost: 30 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 200 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This spell hits all target that are not floating or are not weak vs wind elemental attacks (arrows, boomerangs, most spears). Sleep Casting Time: 3 (2 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 12 Status Effect: Sleep Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one/all targets, default one enemy Hit Rate: 50 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This spell is level driven.

A timer of 10 is started for this status. All timers are stopped for the duration of this status. Casting Stop on a target that already has the Stop status will reset the timer to 10. The target's queued command is automatically removed when this status is inflicted. Drain Casting Time: 3 (2 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 18 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Drain Spell Power: 20 (80 in FF4ET) Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: FF4ET has this spell beefed up dramatically. Draining undead will invert damage and healing. Drain ignores the elemental property of the spell in its algo. This spell will do no damage if it targets the caster. The GBA version will not play the animation and sound effects. Psych/Osmose Casting Time: 5 (1 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Drain Spell Power: 16 (20 in FF4ET) Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Draining undead will invert MP loss and healing.

This is cast 191/256 of the time via the Twin command. The ratio is unknown for FF4A's Twin Stars equipment. Flame (Ninja Spell)/Katon Casting Time: 2 (1 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 15 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Fire Spell Power: 80 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: Flood (Ninja Spell)/Suiton Casting Time: 2 (1 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 20 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Ice Spell Power: 120 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: Blitz (Ninja Spell)/Raijin Casting Time: 2 (1 in FF4ET) MP Cost: 25 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Lightning Spell Power: 160 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: Smoke Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 10 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: all allies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is a battle escaping magic. Pin/Needle Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 5 Status Effect: Paralyze Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 75 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This is the same as Hold, except powered by Wisdom/Intelligence. Image Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 6 Status Effect: Image (2) Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: self/no target Hit Rate: 99 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: It's simply a self-induced Blink. Magic Arrow Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 28 Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 90 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This is the spell attached to the Rod. You will find the reflecting this spell to be amusing. Since this is cast by a weapon, spell hit rate is ignored, like all weapon-item spells. Heal (Cure/Healing Staff version) Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 12 Targeting: all allies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This is the spell attached to the Cure/Healing Staff. Basuna Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: remove Berserk, Charm, Sleep, Paralyze Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default ally Hit Rate: 75 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This is the spell attached to the Silver/Mythril Staff and is effectively the same as the Unicorn Horn, except single target. Poisona Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: remove Poison Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default ally Hit Rate: 75 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This is the spell attached to the Staff. Dancing Dagger Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 40 Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 90 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is the spell attached to the Dancing Dagger. Imp/Goblin Punch Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 1 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 8 Targeting: one enemy (single target summons use this exclusively) Hit Rate: 50 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: For some reason, the summon damage algorithm seems to set the hit rate of this spell to at least 100 somewhere. Bomb/Self-Destruct Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 15 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 1 (Current HP Modifier) Targeting: one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: The Solo Multiplier is involved since the damage is not based off the Spell Multiplier. Stone Beak/Petrifying Beak Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 15 Status Effect: Stone Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 0 Targeting: one enemy Hit Rate: 50 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: If the monster is not a boss, the monster will take 1 damage, regardless of Stone resistance. It is possible for this spell to set death and stone status on a target. This spell is dummied out of FF2 and FF4ET. Mage/Mind Blast Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 18 Status Effect: Paralyze Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 96 Targeting: one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is the only other stun type spell (other than Stop) that can be reapplied to reset its timer. FF2 and FF4ET use a binding ring graphic (for paralysis) instead of a similar graphic that Protect/Shell/Blink/Image uses. Chocobo/Chocobo Kick Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 7 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 40 Targeting: one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: Shiva/Snowstorm/Diamond Dust Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 30 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Ice Spell Power: 80 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: Indra/Judgement Bolt Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 30 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Lightning Spell Power: 80 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: Jinn/Hellfire Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 30 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Fire Spell Power: 80 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: Titan/Rage of the Earth/Gaia's Wrath Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 40 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 160 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is just weaker Quake with a summon driving the spell. Mist/Mist Breath Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 20 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 1 (Current HP Modifier) Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: The Solo Multiplier is used because the Spell Multiplier is not a factor. If the Mist Ring is equipped in FF4A, Image (1) is inflicted. Sylph/Wind's Whisper/Whisperwind Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 15 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 120 Targeting: one enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: The damage dealt will be converted into healing, split between all characters on the field, minus those Hiding, Jumping, dead, or petrified. This spell consumes 0 MP in the SNES versions. It is a bug because it is probably considered a monster spell, which has a 0 MP consumption property. Odin/Zantetsuken Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 45 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 0 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is a spell driven primarily by the caster's Wisdom. The spell's hit rate is derived by Wisdom/2, so the highest hit rate possible is 49%. If you move Rydia into Slot 1 (middle slot), it should increase her chance to 61%. This spell will automatically fail if any target has the boss bit. When this spell succeeds, a sliced effect is used as the death animation. Leviathan/Tsunami Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 50 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 280 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: FF2 spells the attack Leviatan because of space limitations. Asura/Ashura (human face) Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 50 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 160 Targeting: all allies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This spell heals better than Cure4/Curaja when multitargeting. FF2 and FF4ET use the Cure2/Cura graphic whereas FF4 and FF4A use the Cure3/Curaga graphic. Asura/Ashura (yellow angry face) Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 50 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: +5 Defense (240 base spell power for FF2) Targeting: all allies Hit Rate: 66 (100 for FF2) Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is Protect, like when you fought Asura in the boss battle. FF4ET uses the Cure3/Curaja graphic instead. FF2 uses the Cure3/Curaja graphic and does overpowered healing (9000 max for all targets in the best case scenario). Asura/Ashura (purple happy face) Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 50 Status Effect: remove Death Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: all allies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: Yes Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is a multitargeted Life spell. Bahamut/Mega Flare Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 60 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 480 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: For 20% for MP over Flare, you get 20% more damage spread to everyone, which makes this spell the most damage efficient over high magic defense targets (if you omit Meteor). W.Meteo (SNES version) - Refer to FF4A Section for Spell Data Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Holy Spell Power: 800 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is only used by FuSoYa and Golbez initially in the SNES versions of this game, which is executed by a "Twin" command. Monster 15 Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 0 Targeting: self/no target Hit Rate: 0 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is a blank spell slot separator.

Bluster/Blaster Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: Paralyze, Death Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This attack is made by the Panther/Cait Sith and Black Cat/Coeurl (and Coeurl Regina in FF4A). The status affliction has a 1/2 distribution for Death or Paralysis. There is an annoying behavior in FF4A which causes the effect to be displayed, even though status resistance would normally cause it to fail and produce no graphical effect. Slap Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: Paralyze, Curse, Silence Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This attack is made by the Lilith (and one of the FF4 dev monsters).

Breath/Bad Breath Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: Toad, Mini, Piggy, Silence, Darkness, Charm Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: This attack is made by the Molbol/Marlboro, Great Marlboro, and D.Lunar/Lunarsaurus. If you are resistant to one of the statuses, you resist the entire attack. This is true for any multi-status attack. This attack will reapply all the statuses even if one or more of the statuses have been removed. Whisper Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: Piggy Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This attack is made by the Dark Elf (after the harp music is played) and Tricker/Rilmarder/Lil'Murderer (FF4ET only).

It is used when he massively shakes. This spell also resets the speed modifier to the default of 16. This is a duplicate of Black Hole using a different visual. Cold Mist Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Ice Spell Power: 8 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This attack is made by the Mist Dragon in Mist form as a counter. Explode (Mombomb version) Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: Fire Spell Power: 32 Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: Yes Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This attack is made by the Mombomb before it splits into multiple bombs.

Alert/Alarm Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: self/no target Hit Rate: 0 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is used by Alert/Security Eye and Searcher monsters to summon an enemy. Group Slot 2 is reserved and emptied for the lone monster and the monster is "resurrected". Group Slot 3 is usually where the additional monsters accompany the Alert or Searcher. The annoying siren that plays ends when an attack is made. Call/Summon Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: self/no target Hit Rate: 0 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is used by the Marion/Puppeteer, Sorcerer, Conjurer/Summoner, and Mist Summoner. This has the same requirements that Alert/Alarm has for proper operation. The difference is the sound played when the spell is used. "Dummy" - Cause Other Monster Reaction Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: self/no target Hit Rate: 0 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is used to cause other monsters to use a special reaction. This is by Milon/Scarmaglion (living) on Mt. Ordeals to order his "undead children" to attack. King Eblan uses it to tell Queen Eblan to change her palette (this doesn't change it directly, it is just a trigger for it). The Baron General uses this to order his soldiers to attack. The Generals at the battle of Fabul and Toadlady/Toadwitch/Bog Witch at the Sylph's Cave uses this as well. Vanish (Zeromus version) Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: self/no target Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is used by Zeromus to heal itself to the maximum after taking lots of damage for the first round. Search/Targeting Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is used by the Trap Door and Last Arm for targeting purposes. Before their next attack, Monsters change their targeting or select a new target, but this spell prevents the aforementioned from occurring. In the SNES version, the targeting is adhered to regardless for the next attack. In FF4A, it is retained only to the Last Arm's next script attack (not its suicide counter). Fission/Nuclear Explosion Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: 0 Elemental: n/a Spell Power: damage = caster's current HP Targeting: all enemies (one target, default enemy in FF4A) Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This works the same as the Bomb's explode (suicide) attack except it hurts every target equally. Last Arm does this when it gets weak. Targeting may be changed due to Search/Targeting in the SNES version. Retreat Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: Death Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: self/no target Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: The monsters "disappears", but in actuality kill themselves. However, you get nothing from the monster since you did not kill it. Heal (Golbez version)/Release Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: remove Paralyze Elemental: n/a Spell Power: n/a Targeting: all enemies Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: Yes Notes: This is used by Golbez as part of a scripted attack to simulate Rydia doing something to remove the paralysis. Beam Casting Time: 0 MP Cost: 0 Status Effect: n/a Elemental: n/a Spell Power: 10 (Max HP modifier) Targeting: one target, default enemy Hit Rate: 100 Boss Bit: No Solo Multiplier: No Ignore Reflect: No Notes: Many mechanical monsters (even if they don't have the Mech property) use this attack.

He also does not learn the Black Magic spells Quake, Flare, and Death/Fatal (even though Tellah remembers casting Death/Fatal...) FuSoYa ------ FuSoYa learns all the possible Black and White magic spells in the game. However, in FF2US and FF4ET, he will not learn the "dummied out" White Magic spells. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Credits ------- All this work and research would not have been possible without the help of zyrothfar's editor. It's really nifty, but as of the current moment, it's still a bit buggy, but lots of other FF4 research and testing was accomplished with the help of this editor. BSiron's original FF2 Algo FAQ is the most awesome thing written for this game and even though it's mostly obsolete in some instances, it is the basis for so many bits and pieces that have been derived and expanded upon... I would like to thank Dragonsbrethren for tolerating me and answered questions I had about FF4, before I even realized there was more to the game than what I already knew after many many many years of playing this game. I thank Lenophis for putting up with me. :P JCE3000GT deserves special thanks for currently putting up a fairly good FF2 hack for this game and getting me very interested. I would say that it is the benchmark of all FF2/4 hacks to come. I would also like to thank Phoenix to go look into the code to find and verify stuff that have even yet to be documented (I'll have to get around to it). Entroper provided some nice datasheets for FF4A. Paladin provided a nice datasheet for FF2/4, although there was a bunch of data that finally confirms some stuff that was never quite finished for FF2/4. There's this Japanese site with all the cool info I'd like to thank too... but I can't read Japanese for the life of me, so bleh. Also, whoever wrote and/or contributed to the Tower of Bab-il documents should be thanked for providing quite of bit of insight to the internal game engine. Others that I can't remember off the top of my head, I thank you too! Whoever is hosting the forum with all the info that have been dug up and researched, I thank you too. I also thank and blame the idiots to make stupid unfounded statements about this game. Only you people make me furious enough to prove you wrong. I credit myself only because I selfishly want a better FF2/4 hack. :P Thanks to J2e for producing a decent translation for FF4, even though they don't seem to have any idea on battle mechanics and mislabeled certain equipment descriptions (the Avenger Sword for one). This guide would never have been possible without your help! Thanks to CJayC for hosting this guide on Gamefaqs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Version Reference ----------------- 1.00 - Initial Version 1.01 - Minor tweaks to certain details made 1.02 - Added more information to Odin and the spells that make the characters appear and some more minor tweaks made 1.10 - Revised various spell info and renamed Status Multiplier to Solo Multiplier...
