Food Food appears as healing items in the " Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles " series . In the original " Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles " food was used for restoring HP instead of Potions , which are usually the HP restoring items in " Final Fantasy " games . Potions returned in later " Crystal Chronicles " titles , but food was still around to restore HP and restore SP . Food and drinks were implemented to give the game more realism , in contrast to the traditional " Final Fantasy " method of restoring energy with bottled Potions and other medicinal items . Appearances . " Final Fantasy XI " . When eaten , food will temporarily modify a character ' s stats in some way . Choosing a food is an important part of any job , and depending on the needs of the character , many foods will work in a particular situation . Many players use food to make up for losses in their equipment , or so that they can increase one stat with equipment and another with their food ( devoting all of one ' s gear to accuracy and then eating a food that boosts strength and attack , for example ) . Although there are some exceptions , generally speaking meat dishes will increase strength and attack , sweets will increase the mage stats ( INT , MND , MP , and MP while healing ) , seafood will generally boost either tank stats ( VIT , HP ) , or accuracy , ranged accuracy , and ranged attack . Juices will give a refresh effect , and milks will give a regen effect . Some foods have negative effects as well as positive ; meat dishes tend to lower Intelligence , for example . Food is created from raw ingredients via the Cooking craft . The Culinarians ' Guild in the Federation of Windurst is the guild that supports Cooking . Although most food only affects the person who eats it , there are a few group food items that bestow their effect on all party members within range . Special techniques , represented by the Key item s Patissier and Stewpot Mastery , are needed to cook these special foods . The effects of food are treated as the Food Status effect , and like other status effects , there are a variety of ways in which it can be removed either voluntarily or involuntarily . The Tarutaru Brown Mage Parike - Poranke stationed in Lower Jeuno can cast a brown magic spell on the player to remove their food effect if he is traded a Gysahl Greens . The Alchemy - crafted medicine Antacid will remove the user ' s food effect . Some monster attacks can remove the Food status : the Colibri family ' s Snatch Morsel specifically removes Food , while the Wyrm family ' s Horrid Roar removes all positive status . The Goblin ability Saucepan will actually not only remove the target ' s current Food status , but replace it with a new , horrible food status that gives a broad - based stat down effect . Finally , Food status is like most statuses lost when the player dies . " Final Fantasy XIV " . As in the previous MMORPG entry in the series , food effects as temporary stat modifications appear once again . The Well Fed status is the Status effect that represents the effects of eating food . Synthesizing food is the role of the Culinarian class . " Final Fantasy XV " . Food can be cooked at camp sites from the ingredients and recipes the party has available . If the party has no ingredients , they can still eat toast or rice balls . Eating bestows the party with various buffs depending on the type of dish they cook . Chocobos , if taken to camp , also receive buffs via camping . The player can also eat at restaurants whose meals ' buffs last longer and won ' t expend ingredients , but they cost more money . " Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles " . In " Crystal Chronicles " food restores HP and depending on the Tribe of the player , add temporary boost to the character . If a character doesn ' t like a certain food then it ' ll instead temporarily decrease the characters stats . Eating the disliked food more will change that and give characters the positive effect instead . They can be purchased in different towns ( cost 40 gil and sold for 10 gil ) or found in dungeons . Tribes . Below is a list of the likes and dislikes of each Tribe . Each food is listed from most liked to most disliked . Seed . Seeds can be found to give as gifts to characters ' families . When characters return home the next year , the seed will have grown with certain fruits or vegetables growing from them . Other Food . Other types of food appear in the game that are only for healing HP or other uses . They have no boost effect and are enjoyed by all Tribes . In " Ring of Fates " food cannot be carried or purchased . They appear in dungeons after defeating an enemy and are immediately consumed by characters once picked up . They restore 80 , 100 , or 120 HP or SP depending on Tribe and type of food . Clavats are the best users of Food ; all items in " Ring of Fates " restore 100 HP / SP when eaten by them . References . In " My Life as a King " , food that appeared in past games do not make appearances but are mentioned by the Padarak Citizens after shopping at the Bakery or sometimes the Emporium .
