Mini (status)

Mini , also known as Size, Small, or Minimum, is a status ailment that shrinks the target. While in Mini status, a player is still able to cast magic, but their physical power drops dramatically, and all attacks do only a single point of damage. Their physical Defense also drops. The Mini status is usually inflicted by the eponymous spell, and can also be removed with it, except in Final Fantasy II.
==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy II===
Mini causes an afflicted party member to shrink, and their physical attack power is reduced significantly. When used on enemies, Mini acts as an Instant Death spell. There is a chance of recovery at the end of each turn and does not last after battle. It can be cured by Basuna at level 4 or higher. It should be noted that this is the only game in the series in which the Mini spell does not cure the status.
===Final Fantasy III===
The status is gained from the Mini spell. The party needs to be in Mini status to access Castle Hein, Nepto Temple, Cave of the Circle as well as Tozus.
===Final Fantasy IV===

The Mini status disables the Aim, Focus, Kick, Brace, Twincast, Bluff, Cry, Cover, Analyze, Throw, and Regen commands. Additionally, attack is set to 1, Defense and Evasion are set to 0, and anyone attacking a target with Mini status has attack doubled. When afflicted by Mini, the character will deal only 1 point of damage. In the Advance remake, this will disable monster spells if used on a monster. Mini does not wear off under KO or Stone. In the 3D versions, Mini cannot coexist with Toad and Pig.
The Mini spell, along with Bad Breath, are the only ways for Mini to be inflicted upon the party.
====Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-====
The Mini status returns as a status effect in the sequel of Final Fantasy IV, and it functions the same way as its predecessor.
====Final Fantasy IV: The After Years====
The Mini status returns as a status effect in the sequel of Final Fantasy IV, and it functions the same way as its predecessors.
===Final Fantasy V===
The Blue Magic spell Lilliputian Lyric and the White Magic spell Mini are the only sure means of inflicting mini status on a character, while Grand Cross and Curse can sometimes cause it at random.
The Ribbon accessory does not prevent mini. Mini status makes one very vulnerable to physical damage, but also more difficult to hit. Mini makes the target's physical attacks weak.
===Final Fantasy VII===
Any character afflicted with the Small status will have their Attack Power reduced to 1, never doing more than 1 damage to the enemy. Unlike most other statuses, Small is not removed when a character is KO'd, but the status does not last after battle. The enemy Hungry can eat a character in Small status, removing them from battle. The player can inflict Small with Mini and L4 Suicide, as well as skills that inflict various statuses at once, Bad Breath and Hades, and the battle items Shrivel and Cauldron. They can protect against the status with White Cape and Ribbon, Added Effect, and Resist. Small is healed with Cornucopia and general status-restoration means.
===Final Fantasy IX===
Mini makes the target shrink, greatly reducing its strength, magic, attack, and defense stats. Can be reversed with 100% accuracy if hit by the same effect again. It is caused by the spells Mini and Bad Breath. Removed by Mini, Esuna, and Remedy. It is an effect in The Tower and Mace of Zeus.
===Final Fantasy XI===
Mini is not a spell that can be cast by players, but those wishing to participate in Ballista or Brenner matches in Abdhaljs have the spell cast upon them so they may enter the arena.
===Final Fantasy XIV===
Minimum turns the player tiny and reduces damage dealt while increasing damage taken. It can only be inflicted by Gilgamesh and Amon.
===Final Fantasy Dimensions===
===Final Fantasy Record Keeper===
The Mini causes characters to become tiny. The character sprites under Mini status are styled after the Mini sprites from Final Fantasy V, but each character has their own unique Mini sprite.
===Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008)===
In the Duel Colosseum, the Mini status card will cause the player's HP not to be restored after battle.
====Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy====
The Mini status card appears in the new Labyrinth mode, and prevents characters from recovering HP after battle.
===Chocobo no Fushigina Dungeon===
====Chocobo's Dungeon 2====
==Non-Final Fantasy Appearances==
