Wind Icon

Wind (, Kaze?), also called Tornado and Air, is a recurring element in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually associated with avian and aerial enemies and beings. This element's relation with avian enemies is rather strange; birds can be either weak to this element, or nullify it.

Recurring themes[]

Equipment[]

Some daggers have the wind element, and in Final Fantasy IX, all magical rackets are Wind-elemental. The Wind Spear is a recurring weapon of the element.

Spells[]

The basic Wind-elemental spell is Aero, with upgrades being Aerora, Aeroga, and Aeroja. The spell Tornado is common and often reduces targets' HP to critical levels. A notable healing spell is the Blue Magic White Wind, which usually restores HP equal to the caster's.

Summons[]

Wind has no recurring summon and was not represented until Final Fantasy V with the Syldra summon. Final Fantasy VII, while it did not feature a summon with a true Wind element, had the Choco/Mog Materia classified as having the Wind element despite its attacks being non-elemental, as well as the Typhoon Materia later in the game with a similar classing despite being a Fire/Ice/Lightning/Earth attack.

Final Fantasy VIII introduced Pandemona. In Final Fantasy IX, Fenrir can cast the Wind-elemental Millennial Decay if Eiko is equipped with the Maiden Prayer. Garuda appears in Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV as the representative Wind summon, and in the world of Ivalice, Chaos, Walker of the Wheel takes on the same role. In the 3D remake of Final Fantasy IV, Sylph doubles as the Wind elemental summon along with its Drain-like effect.

Four Fiends[]

In the games which stories' involves crystals, the elemental guardians of them, commonly identified as "the Four Fiends", are often present. In Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy IX it is represented by Tiamat, in Final Fantasy IV by Barbariccia, in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest by Pazuzu, and in Final Fantasy Dimensions by Vata.
