Church A church , clinic , sanctuary , revive pool , or House of Life , is a means of reviving party members in the first three " Final Fantasy " games . Reviving characters in a church usually costs a small fee . Later , Phoenix Down s and Raise became the main sources of revival , and so the concept of churches or revive pools were scrapped except as plot devices . Appearances . " Final Fantasy " . Churches , originally known as clinics in the North American NES release , are found in town s and villages in the world map except Melmond . As the player visits towns farther than Cornelia , the cost of reviving a party member increases . " Final Fantasy II " . Sanctuaries appear in most towns and villages on the world map . They appear as unmarked buildings with statues of a goddess inside . Examining the statue will revive all KO ' d party members in the party with 1 HP at no cost . Two angel s will descend upon the fallen party member ( s ) and revive them before the angels take their leave . A church steeple also briefly appears in the FMV opening , which had the steeple collapsing during the Fall of Fynn . " Final Fantasy III " . Revive pools are found in many towns , areas , and castle s in the world map . They usually appear along with healing springs and revive party members without cost . " Compilation of Final Fantasy VII " . Sector 5 Church is an important location usually associated with Aerith Gainsborough , as she tends flowers here . The church is situated on the outskirts of the Midgar Slums , and appears abandoned . " Final Fantasy IX " . As a likely allusion to the NES generation of games , several of the major cities include chapels . Alexandria ' s chapel is near the western dock , where moogles Kupo , Stiltzkin , and Artemicion make appearances . The chapel in Lindblum is located in the Business District and is currently undergoing maintenance . Other locations , such as Gizamaluke ' s Grotto , Esto Gaza , Conde Petie , and the Cleyra Settlement , seem to be religious centers . There are no house chaplains offering services of game - saving or character revival , but the empty chapel in Alexandria holds the first location where one can use a moogle to save one ' s game , use a Tent , or begin the Mognet sidequest . The grand Luxerion Cathedral is dedicated to the worship of Bhunivelze by the Order of Salvation . Its underground corridors serve as the final dungeon . " Final Fantasy XIV " . The Church of Saint Adamama Landama in Eastern Thanalan appears a few times in " A Realm Reborn " main scenario quests . In Ishgard , players can visit the Saint Reymanaud Cathedral in the Pillars district , though it doesn ' t serve any gameplay function outside a few side quests . The Vault is also a large cathedral that appears as a dungeon . " Final Fantasy Tactics " . Ramza prays in a church in Zeltennia Castle and meets up with his childhood friend Delita , but their conversation is interrupted by Zalmour , tasked by the church to exterminate heretics .
