Gravity (重力, Jūryoku?) is a recurring element in the Final Fantasy series. Gravity abilities often deal damage based on the victims' current or maximum HP. Very often, Gravity-based attacks have no effect against bosses.
While the Gravity spells and related abilities appeared in many games within the series, many of those games do not classify Gravity as an element, instead classifying Gravity spells as non-elemental. The following list of appearances are for when Gravity appeared as an actual element.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy VII[]
Gravity is the second rarest element in the game, as it only exists in the form of the Demi line of spells (and items) as well as the Enemy Skill Laser. Gravity abilities deal damage as a percentage of the target's HP, capped at 9999 damage. This also means that Gravity abilities do not tend to work on bosses, however, they do work on the superboss Emerald Weapon. Gravity abilities tend to be effective against flying or otherwise airborne enemies. Not every percentage-based ability is Gravity-elemental.

While many of these same abilities appeared in the previous installment, the sequel made Gravity into an element. It comprises of abilities that deal fractional damage, such as Demi. It can even be used as a strike ability with Gravitystrike.
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.
