BBS Blizzaga

Blizzaga in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Blizzaga has appeared in other Square Enix titles as an ability, referencing the Final Fantasy version of the spell. Like Final Fantasy, Blizzaga serves as the third tier of Blizzard magic.

The original Game Boy version of SaGa 3 (known as the Final Fantasy Legend III in the west) includes Ice 2 (ブリザガ, Burizaga?, lit. Blizzaga) as the final form of ice-elemental Black Magic. The Japanese-exclusive 3D remake of SaGa 2 (known as the Final Fantasy Legend II in the west) features Blizzaga as the second tier Blizzard magic that deals group-wide ice-elemental damage. The remake of SaGa 3 instead features Blizzaga as the third tier, which deals water-elemental damage to multiple foes. Both versions are outclassed by the next tier, Hell Blizzard.

Blizzaga from BDII

Blizzaga in Bravely Default II.

Blizzaga, together with its previous tiers, Blizzard and Blizzara, appears as a recurring magic command in the Kingdom Hearts series. When performing Blizzaga, the caster unleashes a large shard of ice directly from their Keyblade. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep features a unique version for Aqua known as Triple Blizzaga (トリプルブリザガ, Toripuru Burizaga?), which instantly casts the spell three times on an enemy.

Blizzaga is featured as a recurring Black Magic spell in the Bravely series, serving as the strongest water-elemental Black Magic spell in most titles. In Bravely Default II, Blizzaga can also be performed through the use of the Oracle job's Triplaga spell.

Other media[]

One of the actors in the Final Fantasy XII Suntory Potion Drink Commercial "casts" Blizzaga.

Influences in other titles[]

While not including Blizzaga as part of its spell catalogue, Chrono Trigger features a similar spell known as Ice II, which is an ice-elemental tech for Marle and Magus, serving as the upgraded area version of the default Ice spell. The spells are known as Ice (アイス, Aisu?) and Icega (アイスガ, Aisuga?) in the Japanese versions of the title. Ice and Ice II also appear in the Chrono series's spiritual successor, I Am Setsuna, as a spritnite ability for Julienne, even carrying over the same suffixes in Japanese.
