What is the most badass spell effect in a FF?

[Pikachu]

I was recently playing FF6 and the final boss "Goner" spell looks pretty cool.

And knights of the round in FF7.

What are your favorite spell animations in any final fantasy game?

first time you unlock and use omnislash

For some odd reason, I get a kick out of Shadow Flare (VII version). Beta's always good, too. Fire tornado!

[Tsar Alexis]

Ultima.

[Dempsey]

Ultima is the better

[martin_cross]

Take your pick from Bio3, Comet2, Freeze, Ultima, Choco Mog, Bahamut's, Beta, Aqualung...

Notable mentions for all the other summons.

I guess i am easily pleased.

[apologies, i thought we were just talking about FF7].

[nijolas]

Ultima is really good

The End in Final Fantasy VIII. There's not much else quite like it!

I like the Ultima spells, also various Blue Magic spell effects. Funniest one is magic hammer or Frypan.

Either Ultima or Beta, I think.

Super Nova of Safer Sephiroth, I even wait for it befor I kill him

[Ryuzaki911]

Death..........

Both FF VIII and IX have some pretty great spell animations, possibly the best in the series. Doomsday is based in FFIX while I can't pick a definite favourite in VIII. if we can include Quistis's Blue Magic though Shockwave Pulsar all the way.

its not a spell but Knights of the Round...single handly the best spell/summon in all of final fantasy
