7 Most Powerful Attacks In The History of Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy has featured some awe-inspiring attacks over the years, and throughout this video we're going to be running through seven of the most powerful to have ever existed within the franchise!

Honestly, I've always preferred the style of the older games and of FF9, with smaller damage numbers. The big 100, 000+ numbers are flashy but they kind of lose all meaning after awhile.

I remember having a PlayStation controller with a “turbo” toggle switch.

I turned it on once and held down the fire button during Irvine’s Fast ammo shot.

It completely covered the mob in numbers it was going so fast 🤯 I’ll never forget this moment

Auron's and Kimahri's damage numbers are not legit. They are only possible when cheating to remove the hard damage cap. The Auron damage comes from a Gamefaqs thread discussing hypotheticals and the Nova clip used here has a cheat disclaimer in the description.

Not done watching this yet but I’m remembering how a person in zadnor once hit for 10 million damage in ffxiv

For me, Zell's limit break ends up being the most fun out of all of the limit breaks in the franchise. And the dolphin blow is probably my favourite attack in it! 😁

"... and this is where Kimari came in, as his Nova ability which is part of Ronso Rage could deal 5, 087, 812 now becoming the most powerful move in FFX."
*Yojimbo will remember this*

the most powerful is obviously bad breath...

[TheAuron]

tip for FF13, if you have Lightning use Army of One as a Ravager, then swap her to Commando as the attack starts she will get the damage that commandos have and STILL build the stagger gauge just as fast.

I loved using Highwind in FF13, I used it to farm the Adamantoise quickly. I also found Wakka's Attack reels in FFX really good if you get 12 hits, it was my most used attack for how useful it was for stat maxing and bosses

In the remastered FFX-2 you have access to the fiend endgame, and if you correctly build a team of Nooj/Logos/any black sky caster, then during a single cast of black sky the other two spam regular attacks for millions of damage. It's the most gamebreaking thing that completely automates and trivializes all combat in the game.

[sunabeam]

KOTR are perfect. Both great as a powerful attack and for a long snack break 😅 Thanks for the video!

[clarkymark]

Vincent normal attack with death penalty equipped under the right conditions (killed. X amount of enemies?), Barrett had a weapon that does that too if you have the right amount of mastered materia equipped. Deals so much damage that the game doesn't recognise the number and just 1 hit ko everything (bar ruby until it puts its hands in the ground, then it 1 hit kos)

[Xsuvival]

Although the ff14 one is technically true you can only use most of those whm buffs in Zadnor and Bozja side content and not in the main game. Still an impressive feat which takes a lot of prep to pull off.

[noodles]

Also FF11 - Shark Bite doesn’t go past the 99k damage cap. It having a second attack is irrelevant - many weapon skills have multiple attacks Savage Blade has 2, Skewer has 3, Vorpal Blade has 4, Penta Thrust has 5, Hexa Strike has 6, Realmrazer has 7 and Asuran Fists has 8. Dual Wielding adds an extra attack also, and traits like Double Attack and Triple Attack can also proc to add extra hits. Although there is still a hard cap of 8 hits per WS. But all WS damage is still capped at

[ArchonRahal]

Black Mages in FFXIV using the same combo of buffs were actively causing damage to underflow (which is one of the main reasosn they had to pull a stat squish in Endwalker) and it wasn't unusual to see them just outright one shot Wold Bosses in Zadnor as well.

[J.Abadia]

How Sephirot destroys the whole solar System and is not one of the strongest attacks is beyond my understanding

[lowlygrinder]

Rinoa with meteor attached to her magic stat and it being the only attack spell equipped on her is pretty gnarly when she uses her sorceress limit break.

[pianoman]

I was describing my Legacy of the Crystal pre-order to my wife. I literally said, “It’s filled with Final Fantasy goodness” without thinking 😂

[s_guedes]

Yojimbo doesn't need big numbers, for his damage is INFINITE =D

[joeywalsh]

Chickenwuss, oops I mean Zell FINALLY gets some respect.
