Final Fantasy IV
Ninjutsu, also known as Ninja and Ninja Magic in other translations, is Edge's special magic in the game. It combines aspects of White and Black Magic, but focuses primarily on Black Magic.

In the Nintendo DS version Edge learns three new Ninjutsu: Tremor, an Earth-elemental attack, Frost, an Ice-elemental attack, and Gale, a Wind-elemental attack. Edge learns new Ninjutsu techniques as he levels up, with the exception of Flood and Blitz, which he learns after going into a rage at Rubicante after his parents had died at the hands of Dr. Lugae.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-
Ninjutsu returns in the sequel of Final Fantasy IV, and its Edge exclusive ability. It functions the same way as it did in the prequel.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years


Ninjutsu spells return in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. Ninjutsu works in the same way as in the original Final Fantasy IV. The new characters Izayoi, Gekkou, Zangetsu, and Tsukinowa can now use Ninjutsu in addition to Edge.

There are also new, more powerful spells and new healing spells that have been added to the Ninjutsu arsenal. Each of the five Ninja has his or her own individual Ninjutsu spell list, with some spells being available or unavailable to certain characters.

Final Fantasy XI
Ninjutsu is only available to Ninja or those who set Ninja as their subjob. Instead of using MP, Ninjutsu functions by consuming Ninja Tools which must be kept in a player's inventory. Ninjutsu comes in three different forms, enfeebling, enhancing, and offensive, although unlike White and Black magic, the form of Ninjutsu has no significance: they all are based on a single magic skill called Ninjutsu skill. The most commonly used Ninjutsu are Utsusemi: Ichi and Utsusemi: Ni, which allow a ninja to absorb a number of attacks equal to the number of copy images. Utsusemi forms the basis of a ninja tank.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
The Ninja uses an ability called Ninja Skill, which includes Throw and a variety of elemental status-inflicting "Veil" attacks. There are five veil spells, each corresponding to one of the traditional Chinese elements (Fire, Water, Metal, Wood, and Earth).

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
The Ninja makes another appearance. This time, the class ability is named Ninjutsu. It uses the same moves as in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Final Fantasy Dimensions
Ninjutsu is the default skillset of the Ninja class, though for any other class to use it the player must level the class up to level 1. It requires 2 slots to equip and use, and allows access to various elemental and status abilities.

Dissidia Final Fantasy
Ninjutsu is Onion Knight's EX Burst as a Ninja. He attacks an enemy with Shuriken, then uses Back Attack!.
