Meteo is the true ultimate black magic spell.

Why would Bahamut want to step down?

Also, he should use Yotta Flare.

Step Mine just becomes prohibitively expensive—more so if you've spent a lot of time in the game.

What's Traveler?

Traveler is the more mythical-sounding name for a spell that grows stronger the further you explore.

And Gau uses it for no cost, so he becomes a better user of it than Strago.

What is Traveler's old name?

Step Mine. I assumed we both knew that. Whoops.

Oh, that's why you wrote it that way.

I think the new version makes more sense; at least it's called "mine".

Wait, I thought Grand Cross was the strongest magic in the FF universe.

You mean Almagest?

No, Grand Cross is a massive application of status effects. Almagest a huge blast of Holy magic.

Neo Exdeath has both of those.

Guys, guys.

Dreamless: Ultimate Magic Attack

Says so right in the name. Of course, Grand Stone is much more dangerous.

Grand Stone is the Ultimate Physical Attack.

And rock beats paper, yes.

Dreamless is the bolt of white lightning, isn't it?

Dreamless

It's a 3D triangle that splits apart, and a bunch of waves of white energy goes flying everywhere.

Oh right! I'm thinking of Crying Heavens / Hidden Blow.

What exactly does "hidden blow" mean anyway? Defence Piercing?

For ultimate magic, that sure looked underwhelming.

^ It's pretty much a token gesture at that point, due to the amount of Magic Defense you'll generally have. Sadly, the same cannot be said of (the really damn powerful) Grand Stone.

Why are the Japanese so afraid to call it the Nuke spell anymore?

Because a Nuke is a one-time only weapon shaped like a big red button, while Flare is a ten-use spell/spellbook.

And apparently, merton is a troper.

Really? I never would have guessed!

Calling a player-usable spell a nuke? In a Japanese title? Yeah, that'll go over well. Of course, the trend away from calling them nuclear anything is something that comes and goes.

It's still described as nuclear fusion, though...

Wait, the FFIV spell is?
