Editing Blind (status)

[[File:FFVII Blind Status.png|right|thumb|250px|Blind, then known as Darkness, as seen in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''.]]
'''Blind''' {{j|ブライン|Burain}}, also called '''Darkness''' {{j|暗闇|Kurayami}}, '''Dark''' '''Blin''', '''Blindness''', is a common recurring [[status effect]] from the [[Final Fantasy series|''Final Fantasy'' series]]. It can also refer to the [[Blind (ability)|spell]], which causes such an effect. A blinded character is inaccurate with their physical [[Attack (command)|attacks]] and will often miss the target, but usually the effect does not interfere with [[Magic (command)|spell casting]]. In most games, it can be cured by using [[Eye Drops]] and/or a spell that heals status ailments.

In earlier games, Blind is indicated by dark circles or sunglasses covering the afflicted unit's eyes. In 3D-rendered games, the status is usually indicated by the darkening of the afflicted unit's model, or the appearance of black smoke in front of their face.

The related [[Pain (status)|Pain status]] completely disables the target's use of physical abilities.

== Appearances ==
=== ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' ===
[[File:FF1-PSP-darkness.gif|right]]
Blind causes afflicted units to miss more often, reducing their [[Hit (term)|Hit Rate]] by 40. In addition, targeting a blind character with a physical attack will increase Hit Rate by 40. It can be cured with the [[Eyedrops (Final Fantasy)|Eyedrops]] item or the [[Magic (Final Fantasy)|White Magic]] spell [[Blindna (Final Fantasy)|Blindna]], and is inflicted through the physical attacks of [[Shadow (Final Fantasy)|Shadow]], the spells [[Dark (Final Fantasy)|Dark]] and [[Blind (Final Fantasy)|Blind]], and the attacks Snorting, [[Ink (ability)|Ink]], and [[Flash (ability)|Flash]].

=== ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'' ===
Blind reduces the afflicted victim's Accuracy, lowering their Hit Rate and causing them to miss. This status lasts after [[Battle (term)|battle]] and can be cured with [[Esuna (Final Fantasy II)|Esuna]] at any level, or [[Eye Drops (Final Fantasy II)|Eye Drops]]. It's caused by the spell [[Blind (ability)|Blind]].

=== ''[[Final Fantasy III]]'' ===
[[File:FFIIIDS Blind Symbol.png|right]]
Blind is healed by [[Eye Drops (Final Fantasy III)|Eye Drops]] and the spell [[Blindna (Final Fantasy III)|Blindna]]. Monsters affected by Blind have their Accuracy and Magic Accuracy halved. It's caused by the spell [[Blind (ability)|Blind]].

=== ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' ===
[[File:FFIV Blind Symbol.PNG|right]]
[[File:FFIVDS Blind Status Icon.png|right]]
Blind (originally called Darkness) halves a character's Accuracy and Evasion, as well as magic spells' accuracy. It does not affect the accuracy of abilities classified as monster magic, nor the magic spells cast by weapons and items. It can be caused by the enemy attacks Wing Scale, Posion Powder, and Bad Breath.

==== ''[[Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-]]'' ====
Blind halves a character's Accuracy and Evasion, as well as magic spells' accuracy.

==== ''[[Final Fantasy IV: The After Years]]'' ====
{{Status section|Final Fantasy IV: The After Years}}

=== ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' ===
[[File:FFV Blind Icon iOS.png|Icon.|right]]
[[File:Lenna Darkness.png|right|Lenna affected with Blind status.]]
The player can make use of Blind by casting Flash, attacking enemies with a [[Dark Bow (Final Fantasy V)|Dark Bow]], or via some other methods, such as [[Mix (Final Fantasy V)|mix]] skills. A character under Blind has their Hit Rate reduced to a quarter and cannot use the [[Aim (ability)|Aim]] ability. It can be caused by the enemy attacks Darknss Powder, Needle, Rainbow Wind, Tusk, Wring, and Flash (the latter being learnable as a [[Blue Magic (Final Fantasy V)|Blue Magic]] spell).

=== ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' ===
[[File:Darkness from FFVI icon.png|right]]
The Blind status ailment is glitched in the original versions, due to the [[Evade bug]]. However, it does prevent [[Strago (Final Fantasy VI party member)|Strago]] from learning [[Lore (Final Fantasy VI)|Lores]]. Several special attacks, such as [[Edgar (Final Fantasy VI party member)|Edgar]]'s [[Sunbeam|Flash]] and Strago's [[Bad Breath (Final Fantasy VI)|Bad Breath]], can inflict this status.

=== ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' ===
Darkness is largely only usable by enemies. Although the player can inflict the status through the means of the [[Ink (Final Fantasy VII)|Ink]] item, it is of little tactical use, as most enemies are not affected by the status. Darkness halves the physical accuracy of weapon-based attacks, but due to a [[List of bugs and glitches|bug]], the status only affects the commands [[Attack (Final Fantasy VII)|Attack]], [[Morph (Final Fantasy VII)|Morph]], [[Deathblow (Final Fantasy VII)|Deathblow]], [[Mug (Final Fantasy VII)|Mug]], [[Slash-All (Final Fantasy VII)|Slash-All]], [[Flash (Final Fantasy VII)|Flash]], [[2x-Cut (Final Fantasy VII)|2x-Cut]], and [[4x-Cut (Final Fantasy VII)|4x-Cut]]. Because enemies do not use the above commands, they are unaffected by it, making inflicting opponents with the status pointless.

Inflicting enemies with the [[Fury (status)|Fury]] status is the only way to hamper an enemy's Hit% but this is difficult since [[Hyper (Final Fantasy VII)|Hypers]] cannot normally be given to enemies (can only be done by [[Confusion (Final Fantasy VII)|confused]] characters), and there are no attacks in the player's possession that can inflict the status to enemies.

[[Acrophies (Final Fantasy VII)|Acrophies]] has in its arsenal one of the rarest abilities, the [[Final Fantasy VII enemy abilities#Isogin Smog|Isogin Smog]] that inflicts the Darkness status to the player party, but will only be used by Acrophies if the entire party is already under the Darkness status. If Acrophies uses this attack more than once, it might crash the player's game. Since Acrophies has no other abilities that induce the Darkness status, the Ink item will have to be used on all party members to see this attack naturally.

=== ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' ===
[[File:FFVIII Blind Symbol.PNG|left]][[File:Squall blinded from FFVIII Remastered.gif|thumb]]
Darkness reduces a character's Hit Rate by 75%. Characters with base hit rate of 255% are unaffected, such as [[Squall (Final Fantasy VIII party member)|Squall]] and [[Seifer (Final Fantasy VIII gameplay)|Seifer]]. However, Darkness disables the [[Gunblade (weapon type)|gunblade's]] trigger, making them unable to deal [[critical hit|additional damage]]; the trigger sound will still play, but the hit does not result in an explosion around the enemy and the damage is not increased.

=== ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' ===
The Darkness status overrides the Accuracy and Evasion stats and lowers the chance of attacks and skills landing to 10%, before [[Luck (stat)|Luck]] is taken into account. Darkness lasts for a certain number of turns depending on the attack that inflicted the status effect (usually three), but can be removed earlier by using [[Eye Drops (Final Fantasy X)|Eye Drops]], [[Remedy (Final Fantasy X)|Remedy]] or [[Esuna (Final Fantasy X)|Esuna]].

[[Wakka (Final Fantasy X party member)|Wakka]]'s [[Dark Attack]] and [[Dark Attack|Dark Buster]] can inflict this status and deal damage. Having a Luck stat of 90 or more higher than the target's Luck will result in the status having no effect, since the accuracy is high enough to withstand the handicaps.

Also, weapons with [[Darktouch (Final Fantasy X)|Darktouch]] or [[Darkstrike (Final Fantasy X)|Darkstrike]] will also cause Darkness, while armor with [[Dark Ward (Final Fantasy X)|Dark Ward]] and [[Darkproof (Final Fantasy X)|Darkproof]] will prevent it. A party member can also use a [[Smoke Bomb (Final Fantasy X)|Smoke Bomb]] on an enemy to also inflict Darkness.

==== ''[[Final Fantasy X-2: Last Mission]]'' ====
Darkness reduces the odds of connecting with a physical attack. Some fiends inflict the status with their regular attacks. The player can inflict it through the Darktouch auto-ability or by using the Dark Oil medicine. It can be healed with the Vision Ale and Esuna Salve medicine or by the [[White Mage (Final Fantasy X-2)|White Mage's]] ability Esuna. The auto-ability Darkproof makes the character immune to the status.

=== ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' ===
[[File:FFXI Blind Status.png|right]]
Blindness is a [[Dark (element)|dark elemental]] status effect that is caused by many effects, including the [[Enfeebling Magic|enfeebling]] [[Black Magic]] spells [[Blind (ability)#Final Fantasy XI|Blind]] and [[Blind II]] and the [[Ninjutsu (skillset)|Ninjutsu]] spells [[Kurayami: Ichi]] and [[Kurayami: Ni]]. It decreases accuracy and ranged accuracy. It is cured with the white magics [[Blindna]] or [[Esuna (ability)|Esuna]], the [[Dancer (Final Fantasy XI)|Dancer]] job ability Healing Waltz, the [[Wyvern (Dragoon)|wyvern]] ability Remove Blind, the [[Monk (Final Fantasy XI)|Monk]] job ability [[Chakra]], the [[Summoner (Final Fantasy XI)|Summoner]] [[Blood Pact]] Spring Water, or the items [[Eye Drops]], [[Remedy (item)|Remedy]], or Catholicon. The [[Resist Blind]] trait and the effects of the white magic [[Barblind]] and [[Barblindra]] improve blind resistance a little.

There is another blinding status effect known as Flash. It is inflicted by the [[Divine Magic (Final Fantasy XI)|divine]] white magic [[Flash (ability)|Flash]]. It has a more potent effect but a much shorter duration. Both blind and flash may be present on the same target. Abilities that remove spell effects such as [[Erase (ability)|Erase]] are required to remove Flash, but it has such a short duration that this is rarely necessary.

Besides the normal accuracy lowering effects, blinding certain monsters prevents the use of certain gaze attacks; in particular, the [[Peiste (Final Fantasy XI)|Peiste]] family's [[Petrify (status)|petrifying]] Grim Glower and [[terror]]izing Oppressive Gaze effects may be prevented or ended by use of Blind.
