D012 Fomalhaut

The Fomalhaut in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy.

A firearm named for the brightest star in the Whale's Maw.

The Fomalhaut (フォーマルハウト, Fōmaruhauto?), also known as Formalhaut, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually the most powerful gun.

Appearances[]

Final Fantasy XI[]

The Fomalhaut is the marksmanship entry in the Aeonic class of legendary weapons. It can be equipped by Rangers and Corsairs, it can dispense Chrono Bullets once every hour and grants the weaponskill "Last Stand" to activate its Aftermath effects. Like other weapons of the Aeonic class, it is the only gun capable of executing the "Ultimate Skillchains" Radiance and Umbra.

Final Fantasy XII[]

In the original version, the Fomalhaut is the ultimate gun with an attack power of 50. The license costs 150 LP. Due to the way guns work, ignoring enemy defense and Protect status, Fomalhaut is an especially powerful weapon if obtained as soon as it becomes available. Guns are the slowest weapons, apart from Wyrmhero Blade, at 4.2s charge and 1.4s action time.

The Fomalhaut is a good weapon for a character with the lowest attack in the party (such as a mage), as the guns' damage calculation only uses the gun's own attack stat to determine damage. When used with the Dark Shot while equipping the Black Robes, the player also gets an additional +50% boost to damage, making it a good weapon against even Yiazmat.

Fomalhaut is only obtained from randomly spawning treasure chests and because the chests respawn, the player can obtain multiple Fomalhauts. The Fomalhaut chest may spawn in the Lhusu Mines, Cerobi Steppe, Henne Mines, or Subterra.

In the Zodiac versions, the Fomalhaut is now the second strongest gun, providing 52 Attack, 10 Evade, 50 CT, 5% critical rate, and requires the Guns 6 license for 100 LP. It can be found as a treasure in the Henne Mines (Phase 2 Dig) and Cerobi Steppe (Feddik River), and uncommonly stolen from Elza in the Trial Mode Stage 86. It can be equipped by the Machinist and the Shikari, although the Shikari must first acquire the license for Shemhazai and Guns 5 (Spica and Aldebaran) to be able to activate its license.

Etymology[]

Like many other models of gun in the series, this weapon is named after a star. Fomalhaut is a star in the constellation Piscis Austrinus. The name comes from the Arabic fum al'hawt, literally "mouth of the whale", and is also known as "the lonely star of autumn", when it is the only first-magnitude star visible in the sky from mid-northern latitudes. Fomalhaut is also a fallen angel from the Book of Enoch.
