Boost (BuildUp on the NES) is the command ability of the [[Black Belt (Final Fantasy III)|Black Belt]] class, which doubles the next attack's power. The first use will double the next attack, a second use causes the damage to triple. However, if Boost is used three times in succession, it overloads, cancelling the charge and cutting the Black Belt's current HP in half.

This makes Focus particularly effective against monsters with high [[Defense (stat)|Defense]], and can even get past the immense Defense stats of [[Flan (enemy family)|Flan]] type monsters if Yang is wielding claws which match their elemental weaknesses.

FFIV DS Focus

Focus in Final Fantasy IV (DS).

Increase physical attack power.

Final Fantasy Tactics description

Focus (ためる, Tameru?), also known as Accumulate, Store, BuildUp, Power, Boost is a recurring ability in the series. Unlike many abilities, Focus has had no set function, but follows the general formula of increasing a certain stat of the user.

There is a recurring magic ability also called Focus in English, but in Japanese they have different names. There is also a Black Magic spell in the original Final Fantasy also called Focus, which is also unrelated to the other Focus abilities in the series. The recurring Boost ability often resembles Focus in powering up the user's subsequent attack.

Appearances

Final Fantasy III

Boost (BuildUp on the NES) is the command ability of the Black Belt class, which doubles the next attack's power. The first use will double the next attack, a second use causes the damage to triple. However, if Boost is used three times in succession, it overloads, cancelling the charge and cutting the Black Belt's current HP in half.

Final Fantasy IV

Yang's Focus sprite (PSP).
Symbol.

Focus (Power on the PS) was removed on the SNES North American and Easy Type versions. In the GBA release Yang has the Focus ability. Focus has a Charge Time of 4. When used, Yang spends a short time charging up, and then makes an attack with double his regular attack power, though Yang is unable to avoid any magic attacks. This makes Focus particularly effective against monsters with high Defense, and can even get past the immense Defense stats of Flan type monsters if Yang is wielding claws which match their elemental weaknesses.

In the GBA/PSP releases, Yang can upgrade the Focus attack to Deadly by equipping the Discipline Armband; Deadly has the same properties, but triples his attack power.

The duration of both abilities are determined by Yang's Agility.

In the 3D releases, Yang still has the Focus ability, and it can be obtained as an augment after he leaves the party. Instead of executing automatically, it can be used up to three times in succession, each time powering up the next physical attack further. Focus affects the Attack, Jump, Kick, Aim, and Throw commands, and stacks with Darkness.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-

Focus is Yang's exclusive ability. It has Yang skip his turn to charge up an attack twice as strong as normal.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

Yang's Focus sprite.

Build power and strike for massive damage.

Description

Yang's Focus has him skip his turn to charge up an attack twice as strong as normal. It has a Charge Time of 4.

Final Fantasy V

FFV Focus Icon iOS

Focus energies for a hit with twice the attack power.

Description

Monks can use Focus to double their Attack power after a turn. Focus will ignore any added abilities from weapons (randomly cast spells or a weapon's special ability), excluding Spellblade effects currently on the character. Any weapon that works on magic, such as rods and the Blood Sword, will not get a damage boost from Focus.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-

Boost is an enemy ability used by G Intruder, which grants Endure and Critical to the user for 60 seconds at the cost of 6 MP.

Final Fantasy IX

Raise Magic.

Description

The Focus command increases Vivi's Magic stat. Vivi can stack the effect, but once the Magic stat reaches 99, it will not increase further. The effect lasts for the entire battle, even if KO'd.

The formula for Focus is:

Final Fantasy X

Take more damage, but charge Overdrive gauge faster.

Description

Boost is a command available to the aeons if the player presses right on the command menu. It allows the aeon's Overdrive gauge to fill up faster (1.5x rate) at the cost of the aeon taking more damage (3/2 of normal damage). It is the opposite of Shield. Yojimbo and Magus Sisters cannot use Boost due to not being directly controllable.

Final Fantasy XI
