Items are a pretty important part of any Final Fantasy game, but some are more important than others. For today's video, we wanted to run through some of the most powerful, and this relates to potential damage, but also potential defensive applications - enjoy!

I’ll admit it: I am a bit of an itemizer. I would always buy a metric ton of items like potions, elixirs and go out of my way to find every item possible in any given area. The problem was I ended up having a massive inventory and I would hardly use said items because I was paranoid about the fact that I might need it later and not have it. And if said items were powerful I was even more reluctant to use them.

*Party wipes

*Game over

*Forgot to save

*99 Megalixers on hand

Via Infinito should have been done with no saving possible in between. Driving players insane with biggest challenge in the series.

Fancy that FFIII was mentioned. I beat the DS version with (by their canon names) Luneth as a Ninja, Arc as a Magus, Refia as a Devout and Ingus as a Black Belt. Luneth, Arc and (on the first turn) Refia took on the Right Tentacle of the final boss, Luneth throwing Shurikens, Arc casting Flare, and Refia starting off casting Holy before healing and buffing. Took that one out in no time, then move on the Left Tentacle, then the boss herself. IIRC (this was about 5 years ago), it took 30-60 minutes.

Healing Water, Teleport Sphere and Chocobo Wing from FFX all come to mind. Healing Water is ridiculously easy to come by at endgame for being a party full heal, and they customize into Alchemy. Teleport Spheres are incredibly versatile and powerful both in their application on the Sphere Grid as well as in customizing the coveted Evade & Counter ability. And Chocobo Wings are party-wide Haste without any of the turn delay Hastega usually gives and also customize for Auto-Haste.

The one I always take advantage of is the Holy War in VIII, TS Bombs and Dazers in VII.

Just started Zodiac Age a few weeks ago. I don’t remember
what I thought of 12 the first time I played it on the ps2, but this version of it is actually my favorite Final Fantasy game, until 15. Huge fan of 6/7/9

What about the spoon knife in FF4? There was only 1, you couldn't equip it and Edge could throw it once for 9999 damage similar to the Shuriken in FF3.

While the video focuses a lot on items and their effect on end game, there are also many that are ridiculously powerful in the EARLY game. Grenades in FF7 are relatively cheap vendor items that dealt a lot of damage for the relative player character power; so much so that Grenade spamming is/was a legitimate speedrun strategy. Similarly, Knots of Rust in FF12 are easy to obtain, while still being able to out-damage most other early game combat options. And of course, we can't ignore the absolute cheese that is the one and only Phoenix Down.

@12:30 - PINK PUFFS = original english translation.
And on the old versions superfamicom and SNES there are no alarms/sirens.

There is an Item in FF XI that is extremely difficult to get: the Regain Feather. It’s like a mega-elixir, for those who never played XI. It gives you 100% HP/MP and full TP to perform WeaponSkills. To obtain, you have to climb a torturous mountain in no time. To put it simple: it’s impossible to do it without 3rd party programs. In fact, many speculate that the only reason this item exists is for SquareEnix to catch those using non-approved software. Clever and brilliant.

I could have sworn you were going to say "...had the potential to deal 9999 damage upon a single yeet" for the shuriken, and I lost it imagining that.

A honourable 8th entry for me, was 13’s Elixir, I always cheesed Long Gui with it for the trophy

[Cloud]

Ah the Holy War, i'm currently playing FF VIII this last months i can't even play the game without having them now...

[LeeCoins]

I always had a weird habit of hoarding my items and never using them. Even to the point of my own detriment. Rather than consume an item I would just brute force my way through most situations 😅

[RickBloodX]

IMO I think Phoenix Down's should have made the list as an honorable mention due to the fact that they could be obtained from any item shop, could bring back K.O. characters, one-shot undead enemies/do massive damage and depending on the game potentially one-shot undead bosses as well.

[kevinpissoff]

rat tail from the flan princess only having a 1/64 chance in dropping? What version you playing on? That's lower in the original.

[Gzero]

Proving Grounds and Glassway def felt way easier than previous seasons, but new Lake of Shadows is pain. 😅

[Kougeru]

This might sound weird but I've never actually used items in a FF game unless it was required (such as items required to make bosses even take damage). I just don't like using items lol

[jennyf-eggl]

Ff12 was hard for me because I had to sell stuff to get powerful weapons. I had to let my hoarding go...it may work like only 50 percent of the time. 😅
