Earthquake
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Earthquake is a recurring enemy ability in the series, and is usually a very powerful Earth-elemental attack that affects the entire party. In the original Final Fantasy, it instead attempted to inflict Instant Death to the party. It can also be utilized by the player party, and is usually an ability used by the Geomancer class.

[edit] Appearances
[edit] Final Fantasy
Earthquake, originally called Crack, attempted to inflict Instant Death on the party. It is used by Echidna and Ahriman in the Advance version.
[edit] Final Fantasy II
Earthquake was used by the Sand Worm and inflict heavy Earth-elemental damage to the entire party. The party could use this ability, called Earthquake IX, by using the Gaia Drum item.
[edit] Final Fantasy III
Earthquake was an ability used by the Geomancer Job by using the Terrain command. It dealt damage to all enemies.
[edit] Final Fantasy IV
Earthquake, called Quake in the SNES version, is simply a weaker version of the spell Quake, dealing less Earth-elemental damage to the entire party, though it could be avoided by casting Float on a character. It is used by T-Rex, Zeromus EG, and Lunar Titan.
[edit] Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Earthquake retains the same properties as it did in Final Fantasy IV. It is once again used by Titan, as well as other enemies.
[edit] Final Fantasy V
Earthquake comes in two forms; the traditional Earthquake, used by the more deadlier enemies such as Gil Turtle, Omega, and Neo Shinryu, and Earth Shaker, which does slightly less damage than Earthquake to the entire party and is used only by Bahamut, Catastrophe, Titan, and the Crystal of Earth. It is also usable by the party through the Gaia command of the Geomancer Job class, and can only be used if the party is fighting on the Plains, Fire-Powered Ship, Drakenvale, or North Mountain. Again, this attack can be avoided by casting Float on the party.
[edit] Final Fantasy VII
Earthquake is a weak Earth-elemental attack used by Land Worm and Sea Worm. It inflicts damage on the entire party.
[edit] Final Fantasy VIII
Earthquake is an Earth-elemental attack used by Armadodo as a final attack or by Ochu. It can be avoided by junctioning Quake or magic that raises Earth resistance to a character's Elemental Defense slot, or simply casting Float.
[edit] Final Fantasy IX
Earthquake again appears as an enemy ability used by Hilgigars, Jabberwock, Lich, and the Crystal World version of Lich. It inflicts Earth-elemental damage to the party, but can be avoided by casting Float or wearing Earth-absorbing equipment. Quina has a similar ability called Earth Shake that it can use on the enemy party. The similar Earth Power, used by Ralvuimago, inflicts moderate Earth elemental damage to the party.
[edit] Final Fantasy X
Earthquake is used by several enemies in the game. When it is used by Lord Ochu, it inflicts Gravity-elemental damage equal to half the party's max HP. When used by any other enemy, it inflicts non-elemental damage and Delay Buster on the entire party.
[edit] Final Fantasy X-2
Earthquake is only used by the Sand Worm and Earth Worm, and it inflicts major non-elemental damage to the party.
[edit] Final Fantasy XIII
Earthquake is used by the Eidolon Alexander.
[edit] Dissidia Final Fantasy
Earthquake is one of Garland's HP Attacks that can only be used while on the ground.
