Antarctic Wind



The Antarctic Wind (南極の風), also known as South Wind, is a recurring, single-use item in the Final Fantasy series that frequently is used to cause some form of ice damage to one or more targets.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Antarctic Wind deals a Blizzard attack to a target in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.

Final Fantasy VIII
The North Wind appears as a Guardian Force-affinity boost item. It can also be used for refining.

Final Fantasy XI
The Antarctic Wind appears as a Throwing weapon dropped from Suzaku, with a special use: if it is thrown at Genbu, it disables his additional water damage on melee attacks, making it easier on the tank. The Arctic Wind serves an inverse function.

Final Fantasy XII
The Antarctic Wind is loot that can be acquired from Feral Croc and Gavial. Two may be sold to unlock the Permafrost Bow and Quiver at the Bazaar.

Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light
The Antarctic Wind can be bought for 300 G in Guera, Urbeth, and Invidia, won from Silky and Wight, or found in Guera, Invidia, and Spelvia. Due to the elemental system used within the game, the item inflicts water-elemental damage instead of the traditional ice-elemental damage.

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon
Antarctic Wind is an item that casts the Blizzaga spell, and can be found in Guardian of the Water and Chocobo's Memories.
