Talk: Angel Wing (Limit)

Apocalypse

No idea if this should be actually be included as its only one battle without cheating but Apocalypse is also cast in this.

Most Used Spell

I've noticed that Rinoa will use the first attack spell in her magic list the most often in Angel Wing mode.

Invincibility

• Angel Wing misses if she has the Invincibility status.
• Invincibility misses if she has the Angel Wing status.

At least one of the above statements is correct (or something screwed up when I tried to utilise it). I can't exactly test this, does anyone know? JBed (talk) 18:53, April 27, 2013 (UTC)

I think the latter statement is wrong. I'll load up my emulator and have a look for you. EDIT- I used a Hero on Rinoa, then attempted to cast Aura on her, which missed. But then in another battle I had her use Angel Wing first. A Hero worked on her this time. So I was right, the latter statement is wrong. Tia-Lewise 19:08, April 27, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, maybe it was Aura that was my problem, and not Angel Wing or Invincibility.

So the first statement might also be wrong. JBed (talk) 19:17, April 27, 2013 (UTC)

Well, the second time I had Rinoa reach Limit was without Aura, she was just on low HP. Tia-Lewise 19:21, April 27, 2013 (UTC)

Ultimania desc

p.67

リノアがヴァリー状態（右記参照）になり、魔法を使う態力が高まるという技。使う魔法がランダム選ばれてしまうのが難点だが、その種類は攻撃用の魔法に限定される。つまり、リノアには攻撃用の魔法を１種類（しかも強力なもの）しか持たせないようにすれば、『ヴァリー』中はその魔法を約５倍の威力で連発してくるので、実用性が一気に上がるというわはだ。

Japanese name

So my first thought when looking at the Japanese name (after "wut?") was that it could be shortened from "Valkyrie". Then I went to GT and translated Valkyrie to Japanese and got "ワルキューレ" so I dismissed it. But I was looking in the VIII Ultimania index and Valkyrie was there, ヴァルキリー, -- because it's one of Rinoa's weapons. The wings fit the image of the Valkyrie, although removing the middle sounds of a word seems like a strange idea to me. Maybe they mixed it with another word like "Fairy".

The katakana could be for Valley, but that's unlikely the intention because ヴァレー would be the common Japanese, and also has nothing to do with this.

ffdic suggests "vary". "ヴァリ" is "vary", although リー for the last sound would make more sense to me (although to me it would make more sense that the first sound was ヴェー, but whatever). The rationale is to do with the idea of "changing" (into a sorceress), which "vary" is sort-of linked to, but not really. Unless you're Japanese and misusing an English word because it sounds cool.

The magic she casts on her turn varies. Maybe that's it! Yeah I have no idea. JBed (talk) 07:52, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Maybe it comes from "vary" like the variants of magic she can cast and "volley" (even if the katakana is different) because in "Magic-Berserk" mode she will constantly cast spells. Mierna 12:20, July 10, 2018 (UTC)

Move

What would be the tag, Angel Wing (Limit)? Their is a summon ability named Angel Wing in Final Fantasy Legends: Toki no Suishō. Fenrir9 (talk) 23:40, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, sounds like Angel Wing (limit) is the the most appropriate tag here. The names of the 8 and TnS are different in Japanese. FFVIII being ヴァリー and Toki no Suisho being エンジェルウィング. --Miphares (talk) 23:52, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

I noticed that as well. Might just fix that fast an be done with it. Swordzmanp236 (talk) 07:35, April 22, 2016 (UTC)
