FFIX Confusion

Vivi under Confusion in Final Fantasy IX.

Confuse (混乱, Konran?), also known as Confusion, Confused, or Conf, is a common status ailment in the Final Fantasy series. Players lose control of party members inflicted by Confuse. Although the actions confused units take vary between games, the most common action is to attack allies physically at random (including themselves), although in some games they may attack both allies and enemies indiscriminately, and in others they choose a random ability at their disposal on a random target.

Confuse affects enemies to the same extent; instead of following its AI script as normal, it will instead use its designated "berserk" attack on a random target. In some cases, inflicting Confuse on enemies is the only way for the party to learn certain Blue Magic spells, such as White Wind, forcing enemies to use abilities they would otherwise never use on the player party.

Confusion can usually be canceled by hitting the confused character with an attack (a mage can be used due to their weak physical attack). The status is often caused by the spell Confuse and the enemy ability Entice, among others.

The visual manifestation of characters afflicted with Confusion differs between games, but most commonly they gain a curved line or star spiraling above their heads, turn around to face the opposite direction, or their model spinning or running on the spot. Within popular culture, the uses of stars is used in reference to the idea that when one is confused or knocked off cognitive balance, one "sees stars"; medically, this refers to the increased amounts of phosphenes within one's personal vision, the pixel and bright line like haze related with visual aspects of consciousness.

Appearances[]

Final Fantasy[]

Confusion causes the afflicted unit to attack their allies or itself. Confused units face the opposite direction to their allies. While physically attacking the unit will not cure it of Confusion, there is a chance of recovery at the end of each round and it does not last after battle. At the start of each turn, there is a 25% chance that a confused character will automatically recover.

Final Fantasy II[]

Units afflicted with Confuse appear to run on the spot and cannot be controlled by the player, attacking their allies at random. While physically attacking them does not cure them, there is a chance of recovery at the end of each turn, and it does not last after battle. It can be cured with Basuna at level 6 or higher. In the NES version, confusion doesn't take effect until the next turn, meaning that afflicted units can still get an attack in.

When the Confuse status is inflicted on enemies in the NES version, they retain the ability to use spells, unlike player characters. The spells are always targeted on a single unit on their side, even if it would normally be group-cast. Despite this, confusion is effective on enemies that inflict status effects often, especially if they use Instant Death or petrification attacks.

Final Fantasy III[]

FFIII Confuse Status

Confusion can be afflicted via the White Magic spell Confuse or the enemy ability Glare, or through the physical attacks of the enemies Nightmare, Pharaoh, Garm, and Scylla.

Final Fantasy IV[]

FFIVDS Confuse Status Icon

Confuse makes a unit fight former allies. Confused party members break rank to face the party, and will always use their last given command, but instead on the opposite party. An afflicted party member may randomly attack or use a random White Magic or Black Magic spell, targeting allies instead of enemies, and vice versa. A spell caster may also cast Warp, Smoke, or Teleport, ending the fight. In the Advance release, confused targets will never cast Meteor or Holy, and Quake is bugged and still hits enemies.

Monsters follow a special "confused" AI script that usually, but not always, involves attacking the monsters. The status wears off after combat or when hit physically.

In the 2D versions, Edward's Bardsong has a random chance of inflicting Confuse on enemies. In the 3D versions, the Alluring Air song inflicts Confuse on opponents.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-[]

The Confuse status returns as a status effect and functions the same way.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years[]

Edward can inflict Confusion on opponents by his Alluring Air song, performed randomly from his Bardsong command when targeting enemies.

Toad FFVThis section about a status effect in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years is empty or needs to be expanded. You can help the Final Fantasy Wiki by expanding it.

Final Fantasy V[]

Confusion causes an ally to face the party and attack them randomly. Various attacks may inflict the status Confusion, also known in the SNES as Charm and Muddle in the PS version. This include the Level 3 White Magic Confuse, the Bard's Alluring Air, the Cannoneer's Chaos Shot, the Chemist's Lamia's Kiss and the Dancer's Tempting Tango. Enemy attacks include Confuse Powder, Entice, Knock Silly, Rocket Punch and Crush.

The Samurai's Mineuchi command can be used to substitute for the regular Fight command, but it doesn't remove the Confusion status from the target, like a normal attack would.

Confuse no longer resets a character's ATB bar in the mobile and Steam versions.

Final Fantasy VI[]

Confused party members spin in place with a green crescent whirling above the head, while monster sprites are flipped. The affected acts at random with inverted targeting (i.e, attacks allies and heals enemies). Commands that will never be used while under Confuse are Item, Revert, Defend, Summon, Leap, Possess, Throw, Control, and Slot. Any commands entered but not executed before the status occurs will continue normally, but with reversed targeting.

Confused monsters use the command list that appears when Relm Controls them, which frequently includes abilities not in their normal action script. Enemies and bosses have a Control menu with a least one option out of four abilities regardless of being immune to the command. If the confused target doesn't have any abilities in this menu, the enemy attacks the party with a blank attack that will always miss. The effects are similar to the blank special attack bug.

The status increases the attacker's hit rate on the affected target by 25%, apart from game versions affected by the evade bug. In some versions, confusing Sabin before he uses his Chakra Blitz leads to a Mantra glitch. Confusion status also prevents the user from activating a Desperation Attack.

Final Fantasy VII[]

The afflicted player character loses control and will randomly attack allies, but will always carry out the last command the player input; however, if possible, it will be against the player party. For example, if someone was about to use a Potion, they may end up using it on an enemy. Confused enemies will continue to use their AI script, but with the definition of allies and enemies reversed. Using this trick, the player can inflict Sadness and Fury on enemies via the Tranquilizer and Hyper items, respectively. Fury can be useful, as it decreases the enemy's hit%, which can not be done with Darkness due to the way that status is programmed.

  • Step 2:
If either "Magic" or "Item" are selected, the game randomly selects a spell/item from the list of available spells/items.
  • Step 3:
The game decides which target group (allies or enemies) should be selected with both groups having a 50% chance.
  • Step 4:
A random target from the target group is selected if the attack is single-target.

Final Fantasy X-2: Last Mission[]

Confusion makes the character take unpredictable actions: she will use, throw or put down items and perform abilities randomly. It is possible for the character to throw or put down an equipped dressphere. Some fiends inflict the status with their regular attacks. The auto-ability Confuseproof makes the character immune to the status.

Final Fantasy XI[]

FF11 Confuse

Confuse spell effect.

Confusion may have been planned to be have implemented at one time, as some unused content related to the status can be found in the game's data files. There is animation for a Confuse spell, as well as both a spell list entry and a status effect for the Moogle Rhapsody song, the description of which says that it protects against confusion.

Final Fantasy XII[]

FFXII Confuse Icon

Description (Zodiac)

Characters afflicted with Confuse randomly target members of the party. Confuse may also be inflicted by the trap Befuddlement. The weapons Chaos Mace and Karkata (Zodiac only), and the Technick Charm can inflict Confusion to an enemy. Confused characters cannot act as a party leader or perform Quickenings. If an enemy kills itself with confusion, it will not drop any items or give EXP or LP.

Confusion is removed by being attacked physically, the spells Esuna and Esunaga, and the items Nu Khai Sand (Smelling Salts) and Remedy (requires the purchasing of Remedy Lore 2.) The accessories Bowline Sash and Ribbon make the user immune to Confuse.

Final Fantasy XIV[]

Confused status icon.

Confused is inflicted by various enemy abilities. Players suffering from the effect will lose control of their character as they use their auto attack on the closest party member.

Final Fantasy XV[]

Confusion icon in FFXV

Status when disoriented and behavior is disrupted. Confused allies become unable to discern friend from foe.

Description

Exclusive to the party; for Noctis, it makes him change weapons at random while attacking (it will never pick the Ring of the Lucii or Elemancy, however). When controlling someone, it reverses the player's directional controls, and general immunity to friendly fire is negated; being in the attack vicinity of a confused party member will inflict damage rather than clip harmlessly and trigger usual dodging voice cues. Noctis can still summon when confused. For AI-controlled Gladiolus/Ignis/Prompto, it causes them to attack both friend and foe. If Noctis is AI-controlled and confused, he will warp around randomly and fall down. Confused allies' attacks won't Down anyone. Confused characters' speech has them sound bewildered, dazed and mumbling. The affliction is signified with an iridescent haze around their head. It is cured by Smelling Salts.

When fought as a training partner, Prompto's Starshell can inflict the status on Noctis.

King's Knight -Wrath of the Dark Dragon-[]

When Confused, a series of ?'s spin around the victim's head, and the player's control of the victim is randomized. The effect can be triggered by enemy attacks, wearing off after several seconds.

Final Fantasy Tactics[]

FFT Confusion Status Symbol

Confused characters are shown randomly flailing their arms. They will take random actions, some of which make no sense (such as commence an action on an empty space); there are cases where these random acts come at a player's chagrin (like a Ninja's Throw Knight Sword command or a Chemist throwing away an Elixir).

Evasion percentages of targets attacked by a Confused unit will be doubled. Confusion also prevents the use of reaction abilities and special effect-generating move abilities like Move-HP Up and Move-Get Exp. Confusion will be cancelled if the afflicted character takes damage.

This status can be inflicted by Spellblade abilities of Templar of the same name or Mystic's Delirium.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance[]

Non-Final Fantasy appearances[]

Kingdom Hearts series[]

Confusion is a status effect in the Kingdom Hearts series. If a character is inflicted with the status, their movements will be reversed, meaning pressing left will make the character go right, until the effect wears off. Enemies inflicted with the status will either attack each other or attack the character less often, depending on the game. Certain room gimmicks in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, being attacked while affected by Zero Gravity, and Illusion-type attacks in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days can inflict the Confuse status.

In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, only enemies can be inflicted with Confuse; Data-Sora can instead be inflicted with the Flip-foot status, which has an identical effect to Confuse.

Bravely series[]

Confuse in the Bravely series causes the afflicted character to randomly target an ally or enemy with an attack or magic. If the afflicted character is an ally, it is also possible that they will attempt to run.
