False Swipe - "Down to 1 HP" Attacks

[Ooshima]

False swipe is so Pokemon

For that mechanic, it would be interesting to see if any of the FCoB bosses will have it. Typically in Final Fantasy series, this horrendous skill used by bosses is called "Heartless Angel"

I think maybe one FF game has ever had a skill called that. MOST have had skills that reduce the party to 1 HP though.

Nope.

[TheRogueX]

Nope.

So.. 6 'FF' games have it (of which two games are from the FFVII series and 2 games are from the Dissidia series - so technically only 4 games, but then you realize that in 3 of those 6 games the character with the skill is SEPHIROTH, so only 3 unique bosses - also I'm not counting those other two mobile games... Oh, and also, the English version of FFVI called it 'Fallen One') and that means 'Typically' in FF series? Sorry, you still fail to be accurate. More games have a skill that does this that ISN'T called Heartless Angel than otherwise.

But yeah, maybe Louisiox will have such 1HP skill?

Why would he have it?

Question is, why not? Either it requires an immediate stun/silence or a pre-cast AoE heal to be prepared to prevent tank/raid death.

Nael's Megaflare hits pretty hard during initial progression but there is a long break before the next damage comes in. Maybe if whole party reduced to 1HP with the next damage coming within the next few seconds would make it more exciting.

Obviously I'm missing something that happens in Coil. This is why they shouldn't gate important story behind raids. lol

Which is why I am actually part of those who is strongly supporting the idea of Coil story mode. I never believed that any part of the game's lore should be gated, and thus story mode should exist.

Well it first appeared in FFVI but it later became the signature move of Sephiroth. Bhunivelze in FFXIII have this skill too.
