FFTA2 Gravity

Demi in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.

This won't hurt...much!

Gravity (グラビデ, Gurabide?), also known as Demi, is a recurring fractional damage spell from the Final Fantasy series. In a few games it appears in, it's a Gravity-elemental spell. It cuts an enemy's HP by a specific amount, usually by 50% or 25%, although this depends on the game. The number of targets it affects is also game dependent.

In most cases, the spells in the Gravity family are not lethal and round half down to the damage value. If the target's remaining HP is 1, the resultant damage will be zero. But the damage value of Gravity and Graviga of Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy Tactics are based on the target's maximum HP as opposed to remaining HP in other installments, making them actually lethal.

The upgrades of Gravity are called Graviga, also known as Quarter or Demi 2, and Gravija. The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII and the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series are by now the only games that include the -"ra" tier spell, Gravira, of the Gravity family.

Appearances

Final Fantasy V

Halves target's HP.

Description

Time Mages can cast Gravity (also called Demi) as a Level 3 Time Magic spell. It can be bought from Karnak for 620 gil, requires 9 MP to cast, and is non-elemental. Enemies with the hidden "heavy" property are immune. The enemies Chrono Controller, Exdeath in the first fight, Hole, Omniscient, and Atomos can use the spell against the party.

Final Fantasy VI

Reduces the target's HP by 1/2.

Description

Gravity (Demi on the SNES) is an Attack spell taught by Phantom. Gravity reduces the target's HP by 1/2, costs 33 MP to cast, has a hit rate of 120, but will fail against those immune to Death. It is vulnerable to Runic. Daedalus, Level 20 Magic, Necromancer, Angel Whisper, Zone Eater, and Zurvan are capable of casting this spell.

Final Fantasy VII

Demi is the first spell available through the Gravity Materia. It costs 14 MP to cast. Barret can use this spell in the 1996 demo release for the cost of only 5 MP, but its effect is the same as the effect of Demi2 in the final game. Deenglow is the only enemy to use the spell against the player. Gravity spells deal Gravity-elemental damage, which some monsters can resist or absorb.

Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-

Gravity appears as a Materia.

  • MP Cost: N/A
  • Target Type: Range
  • Materia Generation System: Pink, Purple
  • Level 1 - Default - Base Damage: N/A

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-

The Gravity Materia conjures an orb of darkness to fall on an opponent. It explodes on contact, dealing damage to all enemies in range equal to 25% of their HP. Gravity costs 22 MP to cast. Gravity cannot be purchased at the shop, although a stronger version of it, Graviga, can be. It also can't be made through Materia Fusion. G Deleters drop Gravity Materia.

Final Fantasy VIII

Demi is a Gravity-based spell, which decreases a single opponent's HP by 1/4 of its current HP and is quite useful on many powerful enemies, such as the Tonberry. Demi is drawn from opponents and draw points and refined from items with Time Mag-RF. The player can also get one Demi spell from Zell's "love quest" if they give Beef & Pink as the answers to a "survey" held by girls at the library, and later return for the results.

Casting Demi in battle increases compatibility with Diablos by 2, and is one of the few spells that doesn't lower compatibility with any GF when cast.

Since Angel Wing makes spells do five times the damage, Demi has the potential to defeat an enemy as it deals damage equal to 1.25 times the opponent's current HP, though capped at 9999.

Final Fantasy IX

Amount of damage depends on the target's HP.

Description

Vivi can learn the Black Magic spell Demi. It costs 18 MP to cast and can be learned for 30 AP from the Cypress Pile, Black Belt, and Amethyst. Demi's damage is unaffected if one multi-targets the spell. It can be reflected and works with Return Magic.

The formula for Demi is:

  • Note that Demi has a 40% Accuracy and will never work on bosses.

In the first encounter with Kuja, he casts Demi frequently.

Final Fantasy X

Demi is a Black Magic spell found in Lulu's section of the Sphere Grid. Demi affects all units of the target party and inflicts damage equal to one quarter of their current HP, capped by the damage limit. The resultant damage is rounded down, meaning a character with three HP or below will take no damage from Demi. In Lulu's Fury Overdrive each casting of Demi inflicts damage equal to one eighth of all enemies' current HP.

It can be used by Abaddon, Anima (Remiem Temple), Black Element, Catastrophe, Dark Flan, Omega Weapon, Sinspawn Ammes, Sinspawn Gui, and Varuna.

Final Fantasy X-2

Demi is part of the Arcana spellset of the Dark Knight dressphere, and requires 20 AP to master. It can also be used by equipping the Black Ring accessory or by passing through the red gate on the Downtrodder Garment Grid, or via Lady Luck's Magic Reels by rolling three Skulls. It costs 10 MP to cast and reduces the HP of the target party by 25%. Several enemies are capable of casting the spell against the party, including Trema and Paragon (Oversoul).

Demi Sword is an ability used by the Warrior dressphere that requires Flametongue, Ice Brand, Thunder Blade, and Liquid Steel to be mastered. It takes 60 AP to master and costs 6 MP to use. It inflicts Gravity-elemental damage to one target.

Final Fantasy XI

Gravity is a Black Magic spell which can only be cast by Red Mages that decreases the target's physical movement speed by inflicting the Weight status, and also decreases Evasion by 10 points.

Final Fantasy XII

Gravity is part of the Arcane Magick 2 License on the License Board and costs 30 License Points. The spell can be bought in Rabanastre, Eruyt Village, and Mt Bur-Omisace for 2,800 gil. It causes damage equal to 25% of the enemy's max HP and hits all targets in range. Gravity spells have a chance to miss. Gravity's base success rate is 70%, but it is also affected by the caster's Magick Power and the target's Vitality. Most, if not all, bosses are immune to gravity.

In the Zodiac versions, Gravity is a Time Magick 4 License and can only be used by the Time Battlemage.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

Gravity is used by the Yarhi, Diabolos. It deals damage equal to 25% of the enemy's max HP.

Final Fantasy XIII-2

Gravity is an ability which appears in the opening sequence, during the Cinematic Action in which Lightning battles with Caius. It only appears once, alongside Ruinga, as an option. If chosen, Lightning uses the spell to attract surrounding debris towards Caius, trapping him inside. Afterwards, the ability is not seen for the rest of the game.

Final Fantasy XIV

Gravity is an Astrologian ability unlocked at level 52 after completing the quest Empty Nest. It has a 3 second cast time and 2.5 second cooldown. It deals damage to multiple enemies, beginning with a potency of 200 and reducing the damage it deals by 10% for each enemy it hits.

Description

Upon casting (PlayStation)

Gravity (also called Demi) is a spell learned by Time Mages for 250 JP. It costs 24 MP to cast with the charging speed of 17. It reduce the targets in the area by 1/4 of their max HP. The damage fraction is the same as Mystic Art Invigoration with nearly instant casting speed of 50 and ignoring target's magickal evasion, but Gravity has higher hit-rate and can hit multiple targets. It is effective against many of the Lucavi bosses due in part to their having a couple thousand HP and having no resistance to Gravity.

Etymology

Gravity, or gravitation, is the natural phenomenon by which physical bodies appear to attract each other with a force proportional to their masses. It is most commonly experienced as the agent that gives weight to objects with mass and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped.

It is also called "Demi." Demi is a prefix meaning "half", from the Latin dīmidium meaning "divided in half". This is sometimes a misnomer as the spell of that name does not necessarily reduce a foe's remaining health by half.

As noted, Gravity does percentage damage based on the target's HP, thus doing more damage to enemies with more HP. This is roughly analogous to the fact that the larger a mass is, the greater the gravitational force it exerts on objects around it.
