The end draws near...
Final Fantasy VI description
Forsaken (ミッシング, Misshingu?, lit. Missing), also known as Goner, is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. It is often the ultimate attack of Kefka when in god form.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy VI[]
Forsaken is an enemy ability used by Kefka in the final battle in the original versions, and also by Omega Weapon in the Advance and 2014 versions. It is Kefka's most powerful attack, with a spell power of 220, and deals unblockable non-elemental magic damage to the entire party at the cost of 20 MP. When charging up the attack, Kefka will say, depending on the version, "The end comes... beyond chaos..." or "The end draws near...", followed by an image depicting his laughing head, and then the screen will quake.
Final Fantasy XIV[]
Forsaken appears during the final phase in the battle against God Kefka in Sigmascape V4.0 and is used four times. He charges a red aura before unleashing the attack for massive damage, which transitions the fight to a temporary phase with a different background, where multiple complex mechanics must be executed correctly. Healers should fully mitigate and heal. Eventually, the effects fade away via broken shards. When he first uses the attack, Nero tol Scaeva says "He's gone beyond chaos... the end approaches!", alluding to the SNES/PS version of Kefka's statement before charging up Forsaken in Final Fantasy VI.
Final Fantasy Dimensions[]
Forsaken is an enemy ability that inflicts minor MP damage to the party, it is used by Asmodai.
Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy[]
Kefka uses Forsaken as part of his EX Burst, which activates when the button sequence is input incorrectly. He will ask what his opponent thinks of his attack, and will yell "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" When about to use it, the camera will zoom up to his face, alluding to Final Fantasy VI, when Kefka's face was displayed when beginning to charge the attack. It will zoom back to show Kefka and the opponent in a pose mirroring the final battle from the same game.
He also uses a variant for his standard attack called Forsaken Null.
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT[]
Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia[]

Forsaken is a moveset used by Kefka as a summon. It turns the background red and causes a purple explosion. As this is going on, Kefka appears with a contorted face similar to that of his laughing head icon as he's charging up the attack from Final Fantasy VI.
