Treasure Chest
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Treasure Chests, also simply known as Chests, are found throughout the world in all Final Fantasy games, in various shapes and sizes. They usually contain items, but sometimes they are monsters in disguise. In some games they can be traps with a Monster-in-a-box hidden with the treasure.

[edit] Final Fantasy
The first game to introduce treasure chests to the series. Treasure chests come in various colors, depending on the terrain they are found in. Treasure chests in the game tend to only hold extremely rare and valuable items that cannot be gotten anywhere else, such as the Ice Armor or Flametongue.

[edit] Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
In the sequel of Final Fantasy IV, the treasure chests are the same.
[edit] Final Fantasy V
[edit] Final Fantasy VI
Treasure Chests appear as normal chests. In a few early areas of the game, Narshe, South Figaro Cave, and South Figaro, what is inside the Treasure Chests will change depending upon when the player opens it. For example, if a player opens a certain chest in Figaro Cave during their first visit, they will get an Ether. But when they return during Locke's story, they will get a Thunder Rod instead.
[edit] Final Fantasy VII
Treasure Chests appear as either little yellow boxes, or white bags. Materia may appear on the ground as brightly colored spheres, though these objects may also hold normal treasure.
[edit] Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
Treasure Chests are commonly gray.
[edit] Final Fantasy IX
Treasure chests appear thoughout the game, containing items, money or Cards. In Burmecia, Mimics can sometimes masquerade as chests, fooling the player into combat.
[edit] Final Fantasy X
Chests can be located in most locations in Spira containing items of use. Sometimes during a battle, a chest labeled "???" will appear during battle. Stealing from it will take its treasure, while ignoring it and attacking the enemies accompanying it will end the fight with the chest left behind. Some chests in the Omega Ruins, when stolen from, morph into one of four types of Mimic.
[edit] Final Fantasy XI
Treasure chests are found throughout the game. Some are revealed to be a Mimic after inspection. One of the monsters of the Mimic family is aptly named Treasure Chest.
[edit] Final Fantasy XII
There are no chests, instead there are metal urns which randomly spawn with random treasure. Once an urn has been collected, it can be respawned by going two screens away and returning.
Certain Urns, however, contain specific items and do not respawn once opened. This is true for the Urn containing the Zodiac Spear as well as the urns which cause it to disapear.
Also, while in the Barheim Passage, some Mimics will take the appearance of urns.
[edit] Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
Orange treasure chests appear in certain locations, and in some missions the objective is to collect the treasures within them. Sometimes a Mimic will impersonate chests.
[edit] Final Fantasy XIII
Treasure Chests in Final Fantasy XIII appear as large floating spheres that hover above the ground.
[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics
After an enemy's death counter reaches zero, it may do one of two things: crystallize or drop a treasure chest. An ally must move onto the square containing the chest in order to obtain the treasure, which varies on the skill level of the fallen adversary.
[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
While placing location symbols on the World Map, the newly placed location and its surrounding areas will shake, signaling the availability of a Treasure Hunt. The player may simply move to the location and select the option "Treasure Hunt" to unearth a treasure. The rewards may vary from common Potions to rare and powerful weapons such as the Zeus' Mace. Generally, a symbol will yield greater treasures the more locations that already exist around it and the similarity between those locations. For example, a Jagd placed in the midst of four towns will reveal a coveted Ribbon item.
[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
There are two types of treasure chests. The first is an unassuming brown color and holds curative items such as Potions and Eye Drops. Multiple chests of this type can be on the battlefield at the same time.
The second type is blue and is of a more ornate style, and holds much more valuable treasures such as rare weapons and armor. Blue chests only appear during specific, non-repetitive missions, and if a chest is not collected during that mission the treasure within it is lost forever.
[edit] Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Red chests contain spells, special items or equipment while brown chests contain ordinary items like potions and refill when the player leaves an area.
[edit] Dissidia Final Fantasy
Treasure chests appear on the game boards in Dissidia: Final Fantasy. They come in three different colours; brown, gold, and blue-gold, depending on the rarity of the item.
Often, chests won't appear until certain conditions are met, such as defeating battle pieces or completing the storyline chapter a first time.
After a chest is opened once, it will still appear on subsequent playthroughs of the chapter. However, rather than containing the original item, they will award the player with a varying amount of PP.
