Story

1,000 years ago...when the War of the Magi that had ravaged the land finally ended, the power of magic vanished from the world.

In the wake of a technological revolution, the Gestahlian Empire, which somehow restored the power of magic in hopes of taking over the world, faces off against the Returners, the rebel force that opposes it.

Set afloat by the empire once again, the Floating Continent has now appeared in the Dimensional Vortex. Rain and company shall behold the wonders of this land, and the mysterious girl able to manipulate magic who journeyed across it with her friends...

Exchange

You can find King Mog or Mog Minister in the Farplane to exchange event currencies with time-limited items.

• Nelapas may appear on any round of PRO and ELT, which drop 1,000 each.
• In rare cases, a combination of up to 2 rare monster (Golden Bomb/Nelapa) can appear in the same run, thus extending the round count even further.

Abilities

• Blaze: Fire magic damage (1.6x) to one enemy
• Flare: Fire magic damage (2x) to one enemy and decrease water resistance (30%) to one enemy
• Full Power: Physical damage (1.8x) to one enemy
• It's gathering a great power!: Increase DEF/SPR (30%) for 3 turns to caster

• Quake: Earth magic damage (1.5x) to all enemies and decrease wind resistance (30%) to all enemies

• Bio: Dark magic damage (1.2x) to all enemies and inflict poison (15%) to all enemies
• Graviga: HP damage (75%) to all enemies
• Meteor: Magic damage (3x) with ignore SPR (50%) to all enemies

Strategy

• Above 50% HP it'll mostly spam Blaze and Flare.
• It'll have access to the rest of its abilities below 50% HP.
• Use status ailment protection to guard against Mind Blast (Jeweled Ring, Ribbon, or Discernment), or have someone who can cure the party of ailments like Minfilia and Ling.
• Don't forget to unequip Shiva.
• Ifrit will increase your physical damage against it and reduce fire damage.
• Use MAG break and SPR buff to reduce the damage of other high powered magic attacks.
• Have Cerius, Minfilia, or Marie ready because they can reduce fire damage 70%.
• Noctis with Fire Flask, or any units that have abilities that can inflict paralysis to Ultima will lead to less worry about maintaining units' defenses.
• Even if Ultima Weapon can be subject to Paralysis, it won't always last three turns, sometimes it will pass after the first or second turn from inflicted. This seems to happen more recurrently whenever its HP is below half.
