Appearances

Final Fantasy

In the original NES release, BLAZE is an ability used by Red Dragons and the bosses Tiamat and from Dawn of Souls onward, Ahriman. It deals moderate to high fire-elemental damage to the whole party. Later remakes show this as a constantly waving stream of fire.

The PlayStation remake and onward would rename all fire-based enemy abilities that appeared in the original version of the game to the singular name Blaze. Despite sharing the name, the animations and spell power differ between each one.

The Blaze ability originally known as CREMATE in the NES release is used by Chimera, Rhyos and Fire Hydra enemies. It deals minor to moderate fire-elemental damage to the whole party. It appears as a barrage of fire balls.

The Blaze ability originally known as SCORCH in the NES release is used by Hellhounds. It deals minor fire-elemental damage to the whole party. A sparking flame engulfs the party.

The Blaze ability originally known as HEAT in the NES release is used by Fire Lizards. It deals minor fire-elemental damage to the whole party. It appears very similar to the previous ability as sparks of flames.

The Blaze ability originally known as INFERNO in the NES release and known as Inferno in the PSX release is used solely by the final boss, Chaos. It deals major fire-elemental damage to the whole party. The animation shows Chaos' eyes flashing red and his body emitting flames. Explosive lava erupts in the background, shortly raining down upon the party.
