FFX Passado — Passado in *Final Fantasy X*.

Passado (リトルナーレ, Ritorunāre?, lit. Ritornare) is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series used by Mindy of the Magus Sisters.

Final Fantasy X[]

Passado is used by Mindy, and is also used as an enemy ability by Mindy and Dark Mindy. When used by Mindy, it has a damage constant of 2^[1], targets one enemy, hits 15 times, can also critical, and ignores Heavy/Tough status. When used by Dark Mindy, it has a damage constant of 4, hits 15 times, can critical and gives +15 Critical, ignores Heavy/Tough status, inflicts Death, and has a 100% chance of destroying a character that is under Petrification.

Comparatively to the other greatly damaging attacks available to the player, Passado's otherwise low total damage constant of 30 shines against low defense enemies thanks to having the second highest amount of hits in the non-NTSC versions of the game, and highest in NTSC. Where attacks with a higher total damage constant but fewer hits — such as Delta and its total of 60 over 6 hits — would bump against the 99,999 damage ceiling and lose some of their damage potential as enemy defense lowers, Passado would stay clear of it longer, thus dealing more actual damage below some defense threshold. For reference, a normal attack has a damage constant of 16.
