Meikyo Shisui (明鏡止水, Meikyou Shisui?, lit. Clear Mirror, Still Water), also known as Clear Tranquil and Tranquility, is a recurring ability in the series.

Appearances Edit

Final Fantasy VII Edit

Clear Tranquil is the second Limit that Yuffie can learn by using Greased Lightning eight times. It restores HP to the party equal to half of their maximum HP.

Final Fantasy XI Edit

Meikyo Shisui is the Samurai SP1 ability. The user's TP will instantly be set to 3000, and for a duration of 30 seconds, Weapon Skills will only cost 1000 TP to execute (normally a Weapon Skill uses all of the user's TP). This allows a Samurai to quickly perform at least three Weapon skills. With special abilities, like Meditate, and the proper equipment, more are possible inside the allotted period of time. It can be recast every 1 hour.

The effect of Meikyo Shisui cannot be stolen from monsters by means of Larceny. This is because monster Meikyo Shisui is handled by means of monster scripting rather than the same status effect that players receive.

Final Fantasy XIV Edit

Meikyo Shisui allows the player to gain the effect of a combo when using the final weapon skill of the combo without having used the prerequisite weapon skill beforehand. This applies for the next 10 seconds or 3 weapon skills. Performing combos is the only way to build the Sen gauge, which is needed to perform Iaijutsu; in addition, there are several unique buffs to be gained from performing combos, and Meikyo Shisui thus makes maintaining these buffs easier. Combos also build the Kenki gauge (needed to use Hissatsu skills) faster; furthermore, Hagakure can be used to trade Sen for Kenki, thus Meikyo Shisui can also be used to perform Hissatsu skills more frequently.

Meikyo Shisui is usable every 80 seconds and is gained at Samurai level 50.

Etymology Edit

[view · edit · purge]The term Meikyō Shisui (明鏡止水?) is a four letter idiom of Japanese-Chinese syncretic philosophy combining the wisdom of Sun Tsu ("clear mirror") and the wisdom of Confucius ("still water") as capable of reflecting the truth. It is followed as a trained state of mind not unlike the concept of Mushin, in that being calm and steady in the face of adversity one is capable of grasping the situation undisturbed and to follow through without fault and with understanding of what action to take.
