Top 7 Ridiculously Powerful Items In Final Fantasy 

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 😅

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

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.

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

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

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.

This channel always delivers top quality content.

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.

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.

Just got around to watching - thanks for the shout-out! Great video as always.

The brew you get in FFXI in the abyssea zones should have made the list. Great content as always.

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. 😅

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

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

I would maybe add Ring of the Lucii from XV. I know it's slightly different in that it's not a consumable, and it's function is more tied to story (though not enough in my opinion), but man what an item it was. Insta-wipes mobs, even the Adamantoise. And it's not limited use.

In WOFF I didnt get Platinum at the end because i released a Sylph before transforming it since i had Serafie and didn't think it mattered. But then you can't get another Prismarium for Sylphs

FF8 card game can allow players the opportunity for infinite Holy Wars through the CC Club quest.

With enough time and triple triad and card mod, holy wars were an infinite resource

Mop is the most powerful and you can’t convince me otherwise

Loved seeing FF4's sirens in this list!

I can't believe you wasted all those consumables just to make this video! Just imagine all the superbosses that you could run into after beating these superbosses.

The Hero item (potion). Made the user invincible for a minute. It could only be obtained by using the Tomberry GF special skill to transform the Laguna card. You got 99 of them. That is the strategy I used to beat Ultimecia. Once only Squall was standing with no magic left. I’d be down at 1hp, take one hero to resist her attacks for a minute, slash. For, 35 to 45 minutes. Yeah… I beat her on the first try at least. 😅

I forget what it's called, but the armor you can find in the plains that works on Mog in FF6 that makes all damage reduce to 1 was stupidly OP, I loved it. Think it was called like Snow Suit, Behemeth Suit, something like that.

10 Holy Wars for my Gilgamesh card? An ruin my 100% complete collection of Triple Triad cards? Never!

Friendship item from FFVIII is pretty powerful and rare. Only ever found one.

it's fun to think that you didn't even need holy war as an item to get the same effect, rinoas ability "invincible moon" does the exact same and is actually the main reason why you can finish ff8 without junctions

Primeval Brew from FFXI is the first thing that came to mind and really should be on this list.

Probably pointed out but you can get an infinite number of Gilgamesh cards from the card club in disc 4.

Video: No weapons, Only items that are consumable in battle. Me: I use throw...

Items like the Megalixir I never use even against the final boss. I am too scared to use items that can’t be bought from a shop or easily farmed.

God hearing the Balamb town tune at the end just makes me want to hop back onto FFVIII!

the Magitek Booster from FF15 negates all MP costs for a bit sounds ok on the surface, but it's an absolute beast when combined with the Ring of the Lucii

I played just about every main entry Final Fantasy game, some multiple times. And I swear, up until today I thought they were called MegaElixirs.

Op items.. they got to talk about FFVIII 100x Hero from Laguna card.. Ermmm.. Holy War! What the what.. did I skip them coz difficulty to obtain or did I just not know about them. Thank you, each of your vids carry me back to beautiful memories of FF ❣️

Ah yes the Megalixir or Dust collector as I like to call it. An item so useful that i’ve never used it an game ever. Not even in Kingdom hearts. They just sit there forever waiting for that 1 super valuable moment that never comes.

Good to know why the shurikens were so expensive lol

Dunno about other games, but FF7's W-item item duplication exploit really made items busted.

Shout to Phoenix Down as well, capable of bringing the dead back to life, as well as felling some of the most dangerous undead characters in the franchise with a single use.

I got a funny story regarding Megalixirs. I'm an item hoarder. The kind of guy that stocks up on powerful items and saves them for powerful bosses. Often times, I feel like a lot of story bosses just aren't strong enough to merit a use of these items. I often end up with an OVERSTOCK of Megalixirs by the time I reach the final boss and never use them. One day, I said "No more! In the next Final Fantasy I play, I'm gonna let myself have fun and pop these the moment I need them!" The next Final Fantasy I played was IX. Needless to say, I learned my lesson and I'll never use a rare item ever again.

I recently finish playing every mainline FF game (with the exception of 13) and beating every Superboss therein (just gotta finish up Trial 100). So I’ve done a lot of grinding for a lot of high-level equipment and items. Grinding Pink Tails in FF4 is BY FAR the worst grind I’ve ever had to do for anything in a FF game. Thank goodness for Sirens.

I remember saving all the normal elixirs on FF7 for the magic pots at the end that demanded an elixir cuz they gived big amounts of exp and think other stuff.

15:20 - the opponent kinda reminds me of Xenogears.

I am not sure if this counts as items, but Bravely Default series alchemy items were utterly busted, basically being able to do anything if you had the correct 2 items. Boss is invulnerable to your rabid dark knight's attacks? No, they aren't they are now weak to dark! Teammates are suffering from yes? Well thankfully, alchemy channels the power of the strongest word in the English language: NO! Do you want to T pose in sheer stat advantage? Rhetorical question, of course you want to debuff all of their stats, and buff your! I think the only thing it didn't do was dunk-tastic damage, but given just how utterly versatile it is, it almost scares me how many questions can be answered with just saying 'alchemy, lul!' Also small note to FF tactics A2 Ranger, and their reverse item skill. Ever wanna see an elixir instantly kill someone? Well, reverse it's effects, and drop that 999 (hp cap) on their face. Stab their eye with a golden needle, and watch them turn to stone for once. Or attempt an instant death spell with reverse phoenix down, only costing you a small handful of gil! ;3

I'm very surprised I did not see Primiveal Brew from FFXI didn't make the list

I always like to pick many hidden items, i was ITEMIZER too.

I can't remember who it was, but some folks have broken down the RNG in FF12 ZA. They did some incredible work that must have taken an extremely long time.

The first time I played FF8, I didn’t have a good grasp of the game mechanics. Hence, I fought Ultimecia at lvl 99. It took like two and a half hours and dozens of holy wars, but somehow I survived it. Woulda gotten wiped in two rounds without them.

15:09 I suddenly want to play Xenogears again..

Me: (hoards all of the attainable items in game in max qty) Also Me during a Mega Boss fight : I'm losing, but now is not the right time to use any of my items.

That ain't no damn "Flan Princess" It's a PinkPuff. I've legit gotten the Pink Tail 3 times on the SNES version. Hundreds of hours. I could have done something with my life.

So glad Holy War made it in. I save it and the hero from Seifer PURELY for Omega Weapon

Oh shit you shout out my boy fuzz! hell yeah, his ff12 guides are so helpful

Phoenix down in Crisis Core was a must on my hard playrhru

I like to find every important elixir… but then being too scared to use a single one lol

Non-equipable non-keyitems. Mega Elixers and Dark Matters can turn the tides of battle depending on the title.

I have never, ever, used a megalixir in any FF game.

Stardust in FF7

I would say the most overpowered consumable in ff12 is Gil as Gil toss does huge damage that is typeless

Final Fantasy IV "Easy Type" (FFII for SNES) left in the PinkPuffs but dummied out the Siren item. That's just mean.

"The most typical purpose of the megalixir is to resto-" Wrong. The most typical purpose is to rest in your bag forever... just in case.

You forgot the legendary BLOOD SWORD from Final Fantasy 2: Dawn of Souls gba. That sword is so OP that I can Solo probably all the bosses in the Final Fantasy universe.

I love your videos but I’m always one to go back and watch specific parts or show friends a specific part of the video, its not a huge deal but it can be tedious trying to find the starting point for the specific part I want to see. Could you start putting segments in the video to break up the different items/parts? This would be soooo nice for any of us who like to go back or reference any of your videos down the line, just a suggestion, thanks for all the lovely FF vids! (: 💜

Its the same for me as well like most players 😂, save up tons of potions and elixirs and never use them in any big quest or boss fight

Its funny but in every ff game or rpg for that matter, I don't like using items, just have x99 on everything were possible lol

Unpopular opinion : granades of ffvii are super op when you first get them

Before watching the video... If megalixer isn't on this list... And there it is. The very last item on the list. Always goes into the "just in case there's an emergency" stash... and there's almost never an emergency big enough to use it... It's so strong that the OG LPer HCBailey has banned it from his runs of Final Fantasy games.

The Invincible from FF9

ASTERISK : Excalibur, Masamune, Murasame, the epic weapon type is powerful when thrown (AND lost upon use so consummable)

Me: "I should use a potion..." Also me: cUrAgA

2:15

Nice! Ive never seen a list of consumables like this. Great idea for the video :D i swear i would install FF8 right now just to play Triple Triad if I didnt have to do all the rule changing stuff first! maybe i should just play with the rules...

No primeval brew?

Can you do a video on ultimate summons?

I Beat final fantasy 8s Omega weapons without the use of any of these superpowered items multiple times

I appreciate the inclusion of WoFF!

What was the first game that was shown? Halo?

I have to disagree with your description of the megalixier.... Everyone knows that their primary purpose is to be hoarded in your inventory and never used.

"Impervious to physical and magical damage" just like mimir lol

Holy wars are always in my inventory when taking on ultimecia, makes an insane final boss not so stressful

You missed Primeval Brew item from XI

Wish you guys well in Final Fantasy. ❤

You guys left out the Primeval Brew. *sigh* why must I always be the one to remind people XI still exists :P It's one of the most powerful items ever as it basically granted you God Mode for I wanna say 30s but I can't recall the exact duration, only that it was ridiculously expensive at 200k Ichor or whatever the Abyssea currency was. XIV also had a similar item (Over-aspected Crystal I think) though not quite as ludicrous in 1.23 that had to be crafted and was literally the only way to survive Megaflare in the hard mode fight vs Nael Deus Darnus. If you didn't have it you simply died. But it also made you super powerful. In ARR it got changed to simply be a 1-time revive item.

holy war from ff8 should probably be number one even though it does zero damage its effect is broken

15:05 The Xenogears is in this game??

Why is the intro so slow? I always wonder if my player is paused...

Megalixir wasnt really an op item cause it was never needed even remotely.

The holy war item in FF8 made every boss a joke.

FFX warp sphere? Used right, it can be game breaking

Hero drink before I watch

🎀 hero potion

You guys might not see this comment but I feel like you might benefit from a copyeditor. I love love love your videos but you tend to overuse subjunctive mood and modal verbs (like ‘would’) in places where they aren’t exactly appropriate to use, or you’ll mix tenses and moods incorrectly. It’s as if you’re trying to write a high school essay … these are youtube videos about games! You can get away with sounding informal :)

There was also the Elixor in Dirge of Cerberus it was a mix between a Elixir and a Phoenix Down and the Limit Breaker too was a pretty strong item in this game

Just a casual ff12 stage 100 with a 122333 party lol

Hero drink.
