Final Fantasy Mystic Quest elements

Four out of the eight elemental icons.

The following is a list of all elements in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest has a special battle mechanic where every enemy attack is associated with an element, those that do not fit within these 8 are considered non-elemental. Many pieces of armor found within the game grants the player protection to one or many elements listed below. Some of the icons never show up in the status screen and thus the player can never have their protection. They can only be obtained via the use of a cheating device.
