Darkness (also called Dark or Dark Wave) is used by Dark Knight [[Cecil Harvey/Gameplay|Cecil]]. Darkness has a [[Charge Time]] of 2. It deals [[non-elemental]] damage to all enemies by consuming his HP, but [[Flan (enemy family)|Flan]]-type monsters are immune to it. If Cecil uses it too much he can [[Knocked Out|KO]] himself when low on HP. This command was removed from the North American [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version, but during Cecil's encounter with his [[Dark Knight (Final Fantasy IV 2D)|Dark Knight]] copy during his [[Paladin (job)|Paladin]] trial, the copy still uses this move. Unlike every other command, Darkness is still present and usable in the ''Easy Type'' version.

Souleater heals the [[undead]]. In the original version, Souleater is 1.4 times more powerful than a regular physical attack. In ''Zodiac'' versions, Souleater is 1.7 times more powerful than a regular physical attack and heals undead enemies by 2.0 times. Because Souleater doesn't use the weapon's innate damage formula, but only considers the weapon's ATK stat, it is best to equip the highest-ATK weapon. Its damage is unaffected by [[Final Fantasy XII statuses#Bravery|Bravery]]. Like all non-Attack commands Souleater is followed by an action delay before the user can charge another ATB.

May pain be my blade.

Yuna, Final Fantasy X-2

Souleater (ソウルイーター, Souru Ītā?), also localized as Soul Eater, or Darkness (あんこく? or 暗黒, Ankoku?, lit. Dark), also localized as Shadow Blade, Dark, Dark Wave, Darkside, or Dark Bane, is an ability where a character sacrifices a small amount of HP to deliver a strong (often Dark-elemental) attack, usually on all enemies. It is usually associated with the Dark Knight job.

Souleater (ソウルイーター, Souru Ītā?) is a reverse localization of Darkness (暗黒, Ankoku?, lit. Dark) that is sometimes localized as "Souleater".

Appearances

Final Fantasy III

Souleater is a job command exclusive to the 3D version of the Dark Knight. It damages all enemies at the cost of 20% of the user's max HP. This is part of the reason (the other being their weaponry) that Dark Knights are good against enemies that multiply.

The damage formula is:

Final Fantasy IV

Cecil's Dark Wave sprites (PSP).

Darkness (also called Dark or Dark Wave) is used by Dark Knight Cecil. Darkness has a Charge Time of 2. It deals non-elemental damage to all enemies by consuming his HP, but Flan-type monsters are immune to it. If Cecil uses it on low HP he can KO himself. This command was removed from the North American SNES version, but during Cecil's encounter with his Dark Knight copy during his Paladin trial, the copy still uses this move. Unlike every other command, Darkness is still present and usable in the Easy Type version.

In the 3D remake, Darkness is a completely different ability that empowers physical attacks at the cost of the user's HP.

The damage formula for non-3D versions is:

If the target is undead:

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

Darkness is an enemy ability used by the Dark Knight in the Final Tale, located in the Depths.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-

Zack can use Darkness by equipping the Darkness Materia. By sacrificing 12.5% of his HP, the player may damage all enemies within a radius around Zack, ignoring Vitality. The ability costs no AP to use. The Darkness Materia is obtained as a reward for missions 4-4-2 and 8-4-6, and is drops from Demon and Horned Devil, and is stolen from Land Malboro.

Final Fantasy VIII

Expend HP to attack

Description

The Guardian Forces Diablos, Doomtrain, and Eden learn the Darkside command ability for 100 AP. It deals thrice the damage of a normal attack, but the user will take damage equal to 1/10th of their max HP. The HP loss can be offset by junctioning Drains to the character's Status Attack.

Final Fantasy X-2

Sacrifice HP to damage all enemies.

"Help" description

Darkness is a command ability for Dark Knights that takes at least 300 HP from the user to damage all enemies. Darkness is a non-elemental attack.

A glitch exists that if the user equips the Ragnarok accessory, or makes it so that spells cost 0 MP, Darkness will take no HP to use.

Final Fantasy XI

Soul Eater is a job ability for the Dark Knight. It adds 10% of the player's HP to their next physical attack, making multi-hit weapon skills and certain weapons very formidable when used with Souleater.

Final Fantasy XII

The Souleater technick is unlocked for 35 LP on the License Board. It deals non-elemental damage to a ground-based opponent by damaging the user for 20% of their HP.

[1]

Souleater heals the undead. In the original version, Souleater is 1.4 times more powerful than a regular physical attack. In the Zodiac versions, Souleater is 1.7 times more powerful than a regular physical attack and heals undead enemies by 2.0 times. Because Souleater doesn't use the weapon's innate damage formula, but only considers the weapon's ATK stat, it is best to equip the highest-ATK weapon for it. Its damage is unaffected by Bravery. Like all non-Attack commands Souleater is followed by an action delay before the user can charge another ATB.

In the original version, Souleater can be bought in Rabanastre and Nalbina Fortress for 6,400 gil. In the Zodiac versions, it is available after the events in Mt Bur-Omisace and is also a treasure in Stage 42 of the Trial Mode with the Diamond Armlet equipped. It is available for the White Mage, Red Battlemage, Knight, Monk, Bushi, and Uhlan job classes, although the Bushi must obtain the Esper Adrammelech, and Monk must obtain the Esper Exodus license first. White Mage must obtain Adrammelech or duo with one of the many jobs that get the specific Battle Lore that lies next to Souleater on the White Mage board. In the Zodiac versions, Vossler York Azelas also has Souleater when he joins the party as a guest.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift

A card featuring Cecil's Dissidia artwork inflicts 1000 damage to Cecil and to all the opponent's Forwards when he attacks. A card depicting Refia's Dark Knight artwork allows the player to deal 1000 damage to all the opponent's Forwards and 2000 damage to the Dark Knight for a cost of one Lightning CP.

Ingus's Dark Knight card allows the player to inflict 1000 damage to all the opponent's Forwards for a cost of two Ice CP.

Other appearances

Kingdom Hearts

The Soul Eater is Riku's signature weapon. It is a black and red sword shaped like a demonic wing with a bright blue eye near the base of the blade. Similar to Cecil, Riku is consumed in darkness in the first game of the series, but comes to gain control over the darkness and wields it to his advantage to fight for the forces of light in subsequent games.

The Soul Eater can also shift form into Riku's Keyblade, the Way to the Dawn, which retains the base appearance of the Soul Eater with the addition of an angelic white wing at the tip for the Keyblade's teeth and two other wings wrapped around the handle as a guard, symbolizing his dual nature.

A version of the technique itself also appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, where it is called "Sacrifice".

Etymology

A soul eater is a folklore figure in the traditional belief systems of some African peoples, notably the Hausa people of Nigeria and Niger. Belief in soul eaters is related to traditional folk beliefs in witchcraft, zombies, and related phenomena. The soul eater is supposedly able to consume an individual's spirit, causing a wasting disease that can be fatal.

Darkside refers to the side that is in darkness, unlit, or having lesser illumination. It can also mean the side that is evil, metaphorically dark.
