Etymology[]

Ultima is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. Ultima means "the last" in Latin and many Latin-based languages. The word is an inflection of ultimus which is the superlative of ulter, which means "that is beyond". In the Spanish versions of many Final Fantasy games, the spell Ultima's name is written as "Artema", a close transliteration of the Japanese katakana.

Dokidoki is a giongo or Japanese onomatopoeia word, which are used to mimic or portray concepts or likeness. Dokidoki is categorized under gitaigo or conditions and states of being, used to describe excitement and enthrallment, being based off of intense and throbbing heartbeat rhythms.
