A Flourish (フラリッシュ, Furarisshu?) is an ability that may be performed by Dancers in Final Fantasy XI. They are special moves that can only be utilized after one or more finishing moves. Each flourish has a different effect, which may range from damaging an enemy, to preparing the player for a future action.

Desperate Flourish is learned at level 30 and requires one finishing move. It inflicts a gravity effect on the player's target and the accuracy of move greatly depends on the evasion of the player's target. It can be recast every 20 seconds.

Violent Flourish[]

Violent Flourish is learned at level 45 and requires one finishing move. It stuns and damages the player's target. Damage inflicted is about the same as the player's regular weapon damage. It is possible for stun to not take effect, in these cases the damage will be shown but there will be no indication of stun. Stutter Step is believed to help the resist rate of the stun effect stick. It can be recast every 20 seconds.
