[edit] Appearances
[edit] Final Fantasy V
Roulette is learned from Azulmagia, Death Dealer, Lemure, and Shinryu. A minor glitch in the game prevents the player from seeing the Roulette cursor if they attempt to target a party member or enemy with any sort of action while Roulette is being used.
[edit] Final Fantasy VI
Roulette appears as a Lore for Strago, an ability of Gau when Raging Ahriman, or Gogo when using either command. When used via Rage, Roulette will lose its random targeting aspect and target enemies like any normal attack spell would, as its random nature comes from an automatically moving cursor, something Rage does not supply.
Enemies attempting to use the Lore cast a variant of the spell instead. This variation heals the undead, whereas the Lore/Rage version does not.
[edit] Final Fantasy VII
Roulette is an Enemy Skill learned from the enemy Death Dealer. It randomly picks a target from all enemies and playable characters in battle and kills them instantly. Since Roulette is just as dangerous to the player as it is to the enemy, it is one of the least useful Blue Magic spells in Final Fantasy VII.
[edit] Final Fantasy IX
Learned from Veterans.
[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Learned from Ahrimans.
[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
Roulette is a Blue Magic spell learned by Blue Mages from Ahriman-type enemies.
To successfully learn this skill, the Blue Mage must be under Reraise-status and be hit by it, however the random target of the spell makes it extremely difficult to learn.
