Eject Eject , also known as Erased and Hidden , is a recurring status in the series . Units inflicted with the status are irreversibly removed from battle , rendering them useless for the rest of the fight . Abilities that inflict Eject are ( usually ) counted as Instant Death abilities ( flagging the victim as dead ) for the purpose of a Game Over , but this only persists for the duration of the battle ; the ejected character will be restored at the end of the battle and will not need to be revived . Appearances . " Final Fantasy V " . Erased can be inflicted from Encircle , used originally by Omega , Alte Roite , Druid , Tiny Mage , and Mover , then later in the " Advance " and iOS / Android remakes by Guardian and Omega Mk . II ; Possess ; and Wormhole . The status targets one party member and removes them from the battle , and that character is considered dead and does not gain EXP or AP after battle . " Final Fantasy VI " . Though not named in - game , there are several actions that give the Hidden status , making the target unable to be selected and unable to be hit by physical or magical attacks . The status effect occurs when someone is taken out of the battle . Abilities that cause the Hidden status include the Jump command , the esper Quetzalli ' s Sonic Dive , running away , Sabin ' s Spiral Soul , Strago ' s Transfusion , Humbaba ' s Humbaba Breath , and the ejection skill Snort used by specific monsters . When all the party members are ejected ( or some ejected and the others KO ' d ) , the battle is considered a draw ; experience is not awarded nor does it count as a Game Over . If this happens in the Dragon ' s Neck Coliseum , nothing is gained or lost ; any item that the player wagered will be returned . Typhon has a 75 % chance of using Snort to eject the character during the Coliseum battle . " Final Fantasy VII " . There are two types of eject : attacks that flag the ejected unit as Dead , and ones that flag the unit as escaped . The difference is that if the non - ejected party members are flagged defeated in the battle , the player will not get a Game Over if the " escaped " character is still alive . The Midgar Zolom knocks a party member out of the battle with Blown Away , used as a counter attack once its HP hits a certain value , and can do it twice . The Scissors enemy ' s Scissor Tornado removes a party member and Gighee ' s Sun Dive works the same . None of these abilities flag the character as dead . Whirlsand used by Ruby Weapon , Goannai used by Ghost Ship , and Eat used by Hungry , remove a party member from battle and flag them as dead . " Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - " . Zack ' s Blast Wave attack has a chance to instantly remove an enemy from battle . " Final Fantasy VIII " . Rapture is one of Selphie ' s Limit Breaks , which has a chance of removing all enemies from battle . The Blue Magic spell Degenerator also inflicts Eject status . Leviathan ' s Tsunami ejects / removes smaller enemies . Zantetsuken ( both Odin ' s and Gilgamesh ' s ) is also considered as an Ejection in the game ' s mechanics . When used on a party member it does not flag the character as dead . Another source of Eject comes during the final battle , in which a KO ' d party member will be " absorbed into time " and still be considered dead . " Final Fantasy IX " . Eject is a dangerous status being used in the form of Snort by Yan and Tiamat , and Swallow , used by Zuu , which removes a party member from battle and flags them as dead . " Final Fantasy X " . The Eject status removes a unit from battle . Due to the battle mechanics of " Final Fantasy X " , when a player unit is in the Eject status , the party members in battle are reduced , and another character will not move into their place . Thrust Kick is an enemy ability used by the YKT - 11 and YKT - 63 enemies which ejects characters from battle . Kimahri can learn Thrust Kick as an Overdrive , which the game describes as able to eject enemies ; however , due to an oversight by the developers either the programming side of the game or on the side of the persons who did the Game Text , Kimahri ' s Thrust Kick does not inflict Eject , it only does damage . The enemy ability Swallow can be used by the Worm type enemies , and Geosgaeno . Worm type enemies will use Regurgitate to reinstate units in this Eject - like status . In Geosgaeno ' s case , it will use Spit Out , which either inflicts damage to the party equal to the spat out character ' s HP - 1 , 9999 damage to the party , or inflicts damage to that character equal to the spat out character ' s HP . Geosgaeno ' s version does not completely disable the character , so it is not truly ejection . Auron ' s Shooting Star Overdrive may eject an enemy if the button input sequence is successful . A similar effect can be caused to a petrified character . If a petrified character is hit with a physical attack ( or is petrified underwater ) , they will shatter and be removed from the party . Aeons are not immune to Eject , and some bosses use Banish to eject them if summoned . " Final Fantasy X - 2 " . The Berserker includes Eject as an ability . It can also be used via Lady Luck ' s Attack Reels by rolling two Paws . Kogoro Strike , an ability exclusive to Yuna in Trainer , and Carrier Flurry , an ability exclusive to Paine while in Trainer , can also attempt to eject an enemy from the battle , as can PuPu Platter , a technique exclusive to Rikku as Mascot . Logos ' s Russian Roulette has a chance of using eject on one of the the girls . The Psychic from the International version and HD Remaster can eject enemies through the use of Telekinesis , which requires 30 AP to master , requires Maser Eye to be mastered beforehand , and costs 12 MP to use . " Final Fantasy XIV " . Several boss fights feature some kind of boundary or pit which , if players are knocked into , permanently removes them from the battle , unable to be targeted . The most notorious example is the primal Titan , who can eject players using his Landslide attack , which causes them to fall off the platform . Other primal s , such as Leviathan ( only in the Whorleater ( Extreme ) trial ) , Bismarck and Ravana , have similar mechanics , as well as some regular dungeon bosses like the Demon Wall . In all cases , fallen players will return after a full wipeout , or if the battle is successfully completed . " Final Fantasy XV " . Alterna is the final spell Noctis learns on the Ring of the Lucii . It can be used on wide areas that have enough room for the spell to perform . It is used by locking onto the enemy and using the warp button . This ejects the enemies from the battle , defeating them instantly , at the cost of most of Noctis ' s MP , but doesn ' t work on all enemies .
