Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift description
The Apocalypse (アポカリプス, Apokaripusu?) is a recurring sword in the series. Usually one of the more powerful swords, it is a well-balanced weapon.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy V[]
Great sword forged by the Ancients. Can be used two-handed. Can be used with Spellblade.
Description
The Apocalypse is a sword found in the bonus dungeon of the Advance and defunct mobile and Steam versions. It can be equipped by Gladiators, Knights, and Freelancers. It has an Attack of 139 and Hit Rate of 145, as well as boosting Strength and Stamina by +3.
Final Fantasy VI[]
Mighty blade forged in a bygone age.
Description
The Apocalypse is Terra's exclusive weapon gained by defeating the new Red Dragon or Earth Eater in the Dragons' Den in the Advance and defunct mobile and Steam versions. It can be thought of as a weaker Lightbringer, or an upgraded Enhancer, as it has a very high Attack power and it consumes MP to deal stronger attacks. It has an attack power of 250, +7 Strength and Magic, +20 Evasion and Magic Evasion, consumes 20 MP to deal critical hits, and enables the Bushido and Runic commands.
It can be won from the Dragon's Neck Coliseum by betting the Save the Queen and then defeating the Brachiosaur. If bet in the Dragon's Neck Coliseum, the player will battle a Fiend Dragon, and winning will win back the Save the Queen.
Final Fantasy VII[]
The Apocalypse is Cloud's sword found at the end of the Ancient Forest puzzle. Though the weapon has just three single Materia slots, it has triple the standard AP growth rate, making it the second best Materia leveling weapon. It grants 88 Attack, 110 Hit Rate, +43 Magic, and +16 Spirit.
Final Fantasy X[]
Any of Tidus's swords can be customized into the Apocalypse if it bears four Status Strike abilities.
Final Fantasy XI[]
The Apocalypse is the primary Relic Weapon of the Dark Knight job, available to level 75 Dark Knights after having completed a lengthy and expensive quest (often taking months of time, hundreds of millions of gil, and the full assistance of an entire linkshell community to obtain difficult Dynamis drop items). It is not a greatsword, but a large golden scythe.
It is widely recognized among the endgame community as one of the most powerful weapons, and is hands-down the strongest weapon available to the Dark Knight class, making the job a viable front-line fighter in the endgame events, such as Einherjar, because it grants the Haste effect to its owner and drains HP from enemies. The Apocalypse has the highest base damage level of any non-ranged weapon, with 103.
Final Fantasy XIII[]
Sacrificing mobility for power, this imposing blade was utilized during the War of Transgression.
Description
The Apocalypse is a model of a gunblade for Lightning obtained by transmuting Organyx with a Cobaltite. It has the second-highest Strength and Magic values among her second tier weapons, measuring 410 Strength and 410 Magic, and has the highest Strength and Magic values among the second tier weapons that possess equal Strength and Magic values.
As a trade-off, it comes with the trait Ironstrike, which halves ATB speed. It transmutes into the version of Omega Weapon that has the highest Strength and Magic values, at the cost of still retaining Ironstrike.
Final Fantasy XIV[]
The Apocalypse is the Zodiac Weapon for 
Summoners. It is acquired via the quest 
His Dark Materia, by combining reagents acquired from assorted other side quests with a materia created from the Veil of Wiyu Nexus, the final stage of the summoner's Relic Weapon. It can then be upgraded to the Apocalypse Zeta, the most powerful summoner weapon in A Realm Reborn.
Apocalypse's secondary stats are determined by what the character chose to imbue in the Veil of Wiyu Novus, and can be redone by acquiring and imbuing a new Sphere Scroll: The Veil of Wiyu from Hubairtin in Central Thanalan and presenting it to Jalzahn Daemir in the North Shroud.

A great sword of unknown origin said to appear before the fall of humankind. Although accounts of its appearance have been handed down through generations, details such as the materials it is composed of, its maker, and the date of its creation all remain a mystery. Scholars regard it as an omen of calamities yet to come, while others believe it to be a revelation from the gods. Some theories claim that perhaps it isn't a weapon at all, but instead the words that rise on the surface of the blade are meant to be read as the divine will of higher entities.

Apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apokálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω meaning "uncovering"), translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, i.e., a lifting of the veil or revelation. In religious contexts it is usually a disclosure of something hidden. Today, it is commonly used in reference to any prophetic revelation or so-called end time scenario, or to the end of the world in general.
