Rosa is a playable character in Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-, and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. She is a White Mage and is the party's primary healer whenever available. She uses White Magic to support her party and is best placed in the back row.

Final Fantasy IV[]

Stats[]

As a White Mage, Rosa's stats are focused in MP and Spirit. Despite that, Rosa is an adequate physical attacker. Wielding bows allows her to attack at full damage from the back row, dealing super-effective damage to flying enemies weak to arrows.

To reach the maximum 99 points in her stats, Rosa needs 51 points in Strength, 67 in Speed, 57 in Stamina, 77 in Intellect and 26 in Spirit.

Abilities[]

As a White Mage, Rosa can cast White Magic. She learns every White Magic spell in the game, although some she learns at levels different from Porom. Her other two abilities are Aim and Pray. Aim allows Rosa to charge up a perfectly accurate attack at the cost of executing slower, and is only usable while Rosa is equipped with a bow. Pray restores a small amount of HP to allies if successful, roughly equivalent to a Cure spell.

In the 3D remake release, Pray has a higher chance of success and restores both HP and MP, the amount healed based on a percentage of each party member's max HP and MP. Rosa also learns her White Magic at different levels. In the Advance and Complete Collection 2D releases, completing Rosa's Lunar Trial rewards her with the White Ring, which upgrades Pray to Miracle. Miracle casts Cure on a failure, Cura normally, and randomly casts Curaga and Esuna.

Trial[]

In the Advance and Complete Collection 2D versions of Final Fantasy IV, each character has his or her own Lunar Trial. Rosa's trial focuses on using her White Magic abilities to heal injured people, culminating in a battle with Lunar Asura.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-[]

Rosa is one of the first characters the player can control when starting the Interlude (the other being Cecil). She is a guest character and will be the main healer for the first dungeon of the game.

Stats[]

Rosa starts at Level 30. This Rosa is the Rosa from the original Final Fantasy IV, therefore, she has the same stats table and the same level up possibilities.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years[]

Stats[]

Rosa has fairly good HP, the highest of the dedicated mage-type characters, and her Aim ability and decent Strength allow her to be a respectable attacker. Compared to fellow White Magic users Porom and Leonora, Rosa has greater HP, Strength and Stamina but lower MP and slightly lower Spirit than Porom, and all-around greater stats than Leonora.
