I was really bored this morning in my computer class, so I came up with this one.

What do you think is the coolest spell in the game. This has no limits to power, astetics, or anything else. You can just like it because you like it.

I think Stasis Sword is the coolest spell because I personally think it looks cool.

Stasis Sword isn't a spell. =p

As for my vote, I would have to say Ulmaguest with Nanoflare a close second.

I don't know what those spells are, I haven't even heard of them!!

Huh, I've put hundreds of hours in and never heard of Ulmaguest.

Anyway, coolest spell. Dark Holy. The way the dark energy fills the screen, then it goes black... then the screams followed by the blast. Just wicked.

Ulmaguest is the Dark Behemoth's Monster Skill addition. It works just like "Shock!" but the animation is insane, zooming way out to show the atmosphere grow thick with haze and stuff. It's definately one of the more impressive animations, along with All-Ultima and Zodiac. In actuality, it's not expends no MP, but it does have a magic-type effect range, so....meh. I guess it's about as legit as Stasis Sword in that way.

As for Dark Holy, I'd say that has the best sound effects in the game. The dying scream seals the deal for me.

Oh I completely forgot about the monster skill squire ability (Probably because I never used it). I'll have to check that out, it sounds cool, thanks .

A lot of the skills can be useful (although they're not techincally "spells"), such as Level Blast for Level-Up/Level-Down tricks; Dark Whisper for bringing the beatdown; Hurricane, Ulmaguest, and Giga Flare for the more graphically-impressive skills...

In a sixteen-man army there's little room for monsters most of the time, what with special characters and generics, but monsters have impressive stats, y'know.

Well, counting actual spells and nothing else, I'd have to say Life1/2. Why? Even though I haven't played in about a year now I can still remember my exact casualty count. It was the amazingly high number of "1" . Needless to say I had to restart battles to keep the death toll that low but the range of the life spells realy helped when I didn't have a chemist.

--------------------

Role reversal at its finest.

Coolest speel, huh? Well, I haven't seen all the Job classes yet, but I'd have to say Fairy as my first. Those pink feathers flying around is just too cool to ignore!! The second would be Angel Song, because I can always heal up my Summoner's HP so she can cast more spells.

I pretty much go crazy for all of the Holy Knight skills. They are so cool I could go crazy right here!

Yeah, Orlandu joined my party!

Can't we get a better mission than this.I HATE CATS!!!!

*Sigh* Dark Holy, oh how I wish I could have a character able to cast that...

I agree with those who said Dark Holy. That is, indeed, a really cool spell.

I hate to be cliche, but Dark Holy is probably my favorite spell (The scream helps).

However, I definitely put Melt a close second.

My favorites are:

Dark Holy : I feel the dark power emmerge .

Icewolf bite : Just the good graphics and sound to watch an enemy die of pain

Destroy Sword : Yay those techniques are just cool !

Shadow Stick : Coolest assassin move! I d'ont like ultima since All-Ultima rocks

I still Liked Zodiac

I wish they would remake FF tactics with better graphics.. and a little more customization with the appearance of the generics, and your armie's generic color, instead of brown and red all the time.

maybe hair color would be cool, and maybe different char models...

Tactics advanced was a horrible try


the summons could have looked better as well.

Honestly, the Galaxy Stop spell is what I'd want the most. A 50% chance of adding Don't Act, Don't Move, and Stop? Yes please.

Galaxy Stop is my favorite ability// however it wasn't an mp expendature, it was an ability. It definatly had some cool graphics. (for the time)

Definatly love Olan Durai, damn them for not having him as an Avatar choice.

Dark holy,to bad none of the jobs can learn it.Then there's Fire 4,Ice 4,and Bolt 4 they look cool when they finish charging,and last but not least is Galaxy Stop inflicting Don't act,Don't move,and Stop is just awesome and it made stealing easier .

Tou'che.

In that case, a spell I'd pick would be Meteor from the Time Mage.
