Regen (ability)



Regen is a spell that gives the Regen status, causing the target to gain HP over time. Regen is an abbreviation for regeneration. It appears in various games in the Final Fantasy series.

Final Fantasy IV
Regen is a command unique to Fusoya in the original game. It places the Regen status on the entire party, which restores 10 HP at set intervals to all party members. Fusoya is disabled from inputting any commands for the duration of the Regen status, but will be able to input commands once the status is lifted when a certain amount of time passes. This ability was replaced by Bless for the Nintendo DS remake, since the Bardsong abilities included Life's Anthem, which gives the Regen status to the entire party.

Final Fantasy V
Regen is a Level 1 Time Magic spell that targets a single character. It costs 3 MP to cast, and can be bought for 100 gil at Walse, Istory, and Karnak. Regen can be cast by Calofisteri, Chrono Controller, Enuo, Magissa, and Omniscient.

Final Fantasy VI
Regen is learned from Kirin and Lakshmi. Kirin's ability Holy Aura also casts Regen on the entire party. It costs 10 MP to cast and is vulnerable to Runic. Regen can be cast by Level 60 Magic and Cherry.

Final Fantasy VII
Regen is the level 3 spell on the Restore Materia. This spell is more powerful than Cure 2, allowing the player to regenerate HP constantly instead of a set interval. An exploit involving lifting up the PlayStation disc cover lets the player restore all their HP while the enemy will not take an action; this only works on the PlayStation, not on the PC, PlayStation 2, or PlayStation 3. It costs 30 MP to cast.

Despite Aeris having access to all three Cure spells in the 1996 Demo release, she does not have Regen. It is possible Regen became part of the Restore Materia only after the demo was released.

The Regen ability is only used amongst enemies by the optional boss Gorkii.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
Regen is a Magic Materia that grants Regen status to Zack. It costs 7 MP to cast. It can be bought at The Happy Turtle shop for 5,000 gil or made via Materia Fusion.

Final Fantasy VIII
Regen can be drawn from various enemies or Draw Points and cast on allies or junctioned to stats. Regen can be used to slowly damage the undead. Blood Soul uses the spell against the party after casting Zombie on them.

Casting Regen in battle increases compatibility with Carbuncle and Alexander by 0.2, but lowers compatibility with Eden by 0.2 as well.

Regen is a White Magic spell, learned by Eiko. It costs 14 MP to cast and 25 AP to master, and can be learned through Fairy Flute and Fairy Earrings. It can be reflected and works with Return Magic.

Geomancers are also given two variants of the spell, known as Indi-Regen and Geo-Regen, which provide a sphere-like Regen effect to any party members within range.

The spell regenerates 5 HP every three seconds (commonly known as a tick). It will restore 125 HP over its 60 second duration. Regen II regenerates 12 HP every three seconds (240 HP healed), and Regen III will regenerate 20 HP every three seconds (400 HP healed).

Final Fantasy XII

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
Regen is a buff that gives the targeted unit 1/10th of its max HP (rounded down). In addition to being a reaction ability for Hunters and Snipers, it is also a clan benefit that can be chosen before each battle upon earning the clan title "Journeymen", and there are also the stronger versions of this Clan Privilege called Regenra and Regenga.

It can be learned as an action ability by many characters, but often is not called Regen. Notable examples include Hurdy, who can learn the skill Angelsong from the Hurdy-Gurdy instrument that casts Regen on the target, and Adelle, who can use the skill Adelaide as a Heritor to cast Regen on the target as well.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King
Regen is a level 10 Enhancing Spell ability, exclusive to the White Mage class, and caps at level 100. It slowly restores HP of one ally over a period of time, can be used once per battle, and up to five times a day.

Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light
Regen appears as a White Magic spell and costs 2 AP to cast. Regen can be given to any character by having a Regen Tome in the character's inventory.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy
Regen comes in three levels of power. During a stage, Regen activates each time the player gets Good or better on a Trigger and restores a set amount of HP, the amount healed increasing depending on the level of power. Minwu, Rydia and Ashe can learn all three levels of Regen, while Onion Knight and Prishe learn the first two levels and Shantotto learns only the first level.

Kingdom Hearts
Regen appears in Chain of Memories and its remake Re:Chain of Memories as the ability of the Oogie Boogie card, in Birth By Sleep as an ability of the Cinderella D-Link, and Re:coded as an ability attached to several Keyblades. Regen gradually recovers Sora's HP, though in Chain of Memories and Re:Chain of Memories it has limited duration. Though Regen does not appear in 358/2 Days, Cura has the same effect of gradually healing Roxas.
