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...

- 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
- Flare Star: Fire magic damage (2x) with ignore SPR (50%) to all enemies
- Quake: Earth magic damage (1.5x) to all enemies and decrease wind resistance (30%) 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.
