Haste

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search
 

Haste, also known as Fast, refers to two things. It may be a status effect that is beneficial to a character in that it allows a character to take a greater amount of action in a given amount of "game time", or it may refer to a specific spell that induces said status effect. Its higher form is called Hastega or Haste 2.

In some games, such as Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy IX, equipping a character with the Running Shoes gives them the Auto Haste ability.

Final Fantasy XI Spell
Haste
MP: 40
Effect: Decreases Weapon Delay
Duration: 3 Minutes
Casting Time: 3 Seconds
Recast Time: 20 Seconds
Magic Type: Enhancing Magic
Element: Wind
Jobs: WHM 40 - RDM 48

Haste is a form of White Magic casting off of the Enhancing Magic skill in terms of the spell. Haste can be cast by both White Mages starting at level 40 and Red Mages starting at level 48. It decreases weapon delay, spell casting time, and spell delay; however, it has no effect on ranged attacks.

The spell is the most direct and single greatest effect, but it can be received in other manners. Summoners can use Garuda at higher levels to cast Hastega. Blue Mages have a spell known as Refueling which grants Haste to the Blue Mage. Bards can use March to give haste bonuses to all members within the area of effect. Finally, haste, in smaller amounts, can be found on items and has the same effect. All haste on items stacks, increasing the bonus, as do all bard songs, though a player can only be effected by one type of haste from a spell.

It is only available for the Time Mage job class.

[edit] 8-bit Theater

  • In the Castle of Ordeals, Red Mage made it appear that he had hasted the zombie lich into red shift, making him fossil fuel in seconds, earning Black Mage respect, before losing it when he revealed it was just an illusion, and that stacked haste spells only boost the time the spell lasts, not the potency.
