Mini (status)

Mini (ミニマム, Minimamu), also known as Size and Small, is a status ailment that shrinks the target. While in Mini status, a player is still able to cast magic, but their physical power drops dramatically, and all attacks do only a single point of damage. Their physical Defense also drops.

Final Fantasy II
Mini causes the target to shrink, and their physical attack power is reduced significantly. There is a chance of recovery at the end of each turn and does not last after battle. It can be cured by Basuna at level 4 or higher. In the NES version, Mini, was essentially an Instant Death spell when used on enemies.

Final Fantasy III
The Mini status can be inflicted from the eponymous spell. The party needs to be in Mini status to access some of the dungeons and a town.

Final Fantasy IV
The Mini spell, along with Bad Breath, are the only ways for Mini to be inflicted upon the party. When inflicted by Mini, the character will deal only 1 damage. It reduces the target's Defense and Evasion to 0 as well as doubling damage they take. In the Advance remake, this will disable monster spells if used on a monster.

Final Fantasy V
The Blue Magic spell Lilliputian Lyric and the White Magic spell Mini are the only means of inflicting Mini on a character. The formula for how Mini works is as follows.


 * Defense = 0, Evade% = Evade% * 2
 * $$Damage = (3 - Target Defense) * M$$
 * $$M = (Strength*Level)/128 + 2 or Monster Attack Multiplier$$

Final Fantasy VII
Any character inflicted with the Mini status will automatically have their Attack Power reduced to 1, therefore never doing more than 1 damage to the enemy. The enemy Hungry can eat a character in Mini status.

Final Fantasy IX
Mini makes the target useless at physical attacks and halves their magic power. Some skills, such as Steiner's Darkside, ignore Mini.

Final Fantasy XI
Mini is not a spell that can be cast by players, but those wishing to participate in Ballista or Brenner matches in Abdhaljs have the spell cast upon them so they may enter the arena.

Dissidia Final Fantasy
In the Duel Colosseum, the Mini status card will cause the player's HP not to be restored after battle.
