Arrow (矢, Ya?), also called Bolts, are projectiles shot from bows or crossbows in the Final Fantasy series. They serve as the counterpart to bows and the arrows that are shot are consumed. Most arrows have an element or status effect associated with them. In some games that feature arrows as a type of weapon, when a character runs out of arrows and attacks an enemy, they'll attack with their bare hands.

Final Fantasy IV[]
Arrows are used in conjunction with bows, which in most versions can be wielded by Rosa, Rydia, Edward, Palom, Porom, Cecil, and Cid.
In most 2D releases, attacking with a bow consumes a single arrow, and if the user runs out of arrows they would attack Unarmed. In the 3D release, equipping arrows with a bow provides an infinite supply of them and only Rosa can equip bows and arrows in these releases. In the Pixel Remaster, arrows are infinite as well and can be equipped by the same characters as previous 2D releases.
