Fire, also known as FIRE, is an element in Final Fantasy. Offensively, significantly more enemies are weak against Fire than Ice or Lightning, primarily common undead enemies, but it is simultaneously resisted by more enemies as well. Defensively, Fire resistance is also valuable, as more enemies are capable of inflicting Fire damage than the other two elements.

Status-inflicting attacks[]
Due to a bug in the original release, the element(s) of status-inflicting regular attacks became those that the user was weak against instead of the element normally associated with the status. The status-inflicting attacks below became Fire-elemental as a result of this bug. This bug was fixed in subsequent releases, and no enemies have Fire-elemental attacks.
