Reverse (リバース, Ribāsu?), also known as Undo, is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. In most appearances, it inflicts the status effect of the same name onto the target, causing attacking and healing to have the opposite effect.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy XII[]
Reverse inflicts a status of the same name to one target that reverses healing and damage. It has 70% base success rate, which is also affected by the user's Magick Power and the target's Vitality. Reverse has the shortest effect duration of all status effects.
In the original version, Reverse is an Arcane Magick spell bought in the Clan Provisioner in Muthru Bazaar and the Phon Coast and a certain Skyferry route after the party has the Treaty-Blade for 7600 gil. The license for Reverse is Arcane Magick 6 and costs 70 LP to purchase, while the spell costs 50 MP to cast initially (with the Channeling licenses, the MP will be 45, 40, or 35 depending on the number of licenses).
In the Zodiac versions, Reverse is listed as a Green Magick 2 license, costs 50 LP to unlock, and 20 MP to cast. It is bought at the Clan Provisioner in Muthru Bazaar for 7,000 gil. Reverse can be learned by the four mage job classes: White Mage, Black Mage, Time Battlemage, and Red Battlemage.
Final Fantasy XIV[]
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift[]
Undo is a Time Magick spell. The spell has one of two effects; If the target was healed on previous turn, Undo will deal damage to selected unit. If the target was damaged on previous turn instead, the target selected will be healed.
This happens to the target's MP as well as HP. It can be learned from the Crown Scepter for 300 AP and costs 14 MP to cast, and has a range of 3 tiles.
