Nirvana (ニルヴァナ or ニルヴァーナ, Niruvana?), also known as Shambhala, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually the most powerful staff and is mostly used by Summoners or White Mages.

Appearances[]

Final Fantasy IV[]

Staff with the power of reflection.

Description

Nirvana is a staff exclusive to the Advance and Complete Collection versions, and can be equipped by Porom. It provides +80 Attack, 40 Accuracy, +15 to Stamina and Spirit, and casts Reflect when used as an item. It is found in the Lunar Ruins in the room full of dolls and puppets, is obtained in a chest by destroying all enemies in the room.

Final Fantasy X[]

The Nirvana is Yuna's Celestial Weapon, obtained at the Monster Arena in the Calm Lands. It requires the Moon Crest and Sigil to attain its maximum power. At maximum power, its abilities are Break Damage Limit, Triple Overdrive, Double AP, and One MP Cost. It allows the aeon Valefor to break the 9,999 damage limit once activated with the Moon Crest. Like all Celestial Weapons, Nirvana ignores target's Defense. It deals more damage the closer Yuna is to her max MP.

The damage formula is:

(10 + [100 * User's current MP ÷ User's Max MP]) ÷ 110

Etymology[]

In shramanic thought, it is the state of being free from suffering. In Hindu philosophy, it is union with the Brahman (Supreme Being). Nirvana is the final goal of Buddhism refers to the imperturbable stillness of mind after the fires of desire, aversion, and delusion have been finally extinguished. Those who reached Nirvana state will be liberated from the cycle of birth, life, and death so they will never reborn again.

In Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, Shambhala is a mythical kingdom. It is mentioned in various ancient texts, including the Kalacakra Tantra and the ancient Zhangzhung texts of western Tibet.
