Doomsday

Vivi Ornitier can use the Black Magic spell Doomsday, learned from his ultimate staff, Mace of Zeus. When cast, clusters of asteroids and meteoroids gather together in space to create one enormous meteor, which slowly descends and enters the atmosphere, colliding with the enemy and the surrounding area. It does a large amount of Shadow damage to the enemies and party. It can't be reflected and works with Return Magic.

Steiner can also use Doomsday as a Sword Magic technique, but the difference between Vivi's spell version and Steiner's Sword Magic version is that Vivi's spell targets both enemies and party members, while Steiner only affects all enemies. In the game's Japanese version, Doomsday was known as "Jihad". A powerful combo would be to equip the party with Add-ons/armor which absorb shadow, allowing the party to heal massive amounts of HP with every casting of Doomsday. The spell is learned for 150 AP, costs 72 MP to use, and has a spell power of 112.

Doomsday can also be used by Hades and the superboss Ozma.

Final Fantasy XIV

Template:Sideicon Doomsday appears as Ozma's most powerful ability when fought in The Weeping City of Mhach. In order to stop the ability from wiping the entire raid, player's must defeat the "Ozmashade" enemy during the parallel dimension of the fight.

In the Japanese versions of the game, the ability name is actually Doomsday (ドゥームデイ, Dūmudei?), not using the original "Jihad" name from Final Fantasy IX. This is due to the game's development team using a reverse localization process for some of the ability names.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Doomsday is comprised of the old English words dom and dæg meaning Judgement and Day. In Abrahamic religions, this refers to the time when God will descend from Heaven and judge the souls of mankind and will be rewarded or punished depending on the virtue of their souls.

The spell is called "Jihad" in Japanese. The spell name Jihādo (ジハード?), is also used as the Japanese name for the Final Fantasy VI esper, Crusader.

[view · edit · purge]"Jihad" refers to a method used by practitioners of Islam to wage religious warfare on non-Muslims. Jihad's literal meaning in Arabic is 'struggle', and it is also a term to describe the inner conflict a Muslim undergoes to make him/herself a better person.
