Final Fury (殺劇舞荒剣 / 殺劇舞荒拳 Satsugeki Bukouken?, "Kill Drama Dance Rough Sword/Fist"[1]), also named Assassin and Fatal Fury, is an arcane and mystic arte used by several characters in the Tales series.
Arte Description and History
Final Fury began as one of Stahn Aileron's strongest sacred skills in the original PlayStation release of Tales of Destiny. Stahn throws his shield away and then begins a long series of strikes, ending with a huge blast of flame. It is upgraded to be his second level Blast Caliber in the PlayStation 2 release.
In the PlayStation release of Tales of Phantasia and all those derived from it, Cress Albane learns to use the arte when he levels up to over level 100 while his S&D weapon is equipped. To use the entire arte, the player has to press these buttons in order while the attack is occurring: O, X, ↑ + O, ↓ + X, ↑ + SQUARE, O, O, and ↓ + SQUARE. The requirement is removed in the iOS version due to the lack of buttons. It should be noted that Satsugeki Bukouken is classified as a base arte in this game, despite its requirements. The entire arte is a reference to Stahn, as the S%D is his sword and requires defeating Lilith Aileron, his sister, to obtain.
In Tales of the Abyss, this arte is a mystic arte used by Anise Tatlin. It can be performed by using an arcane strike arte and holding down the "Arte" button while in Over Limit mode. Anise must have the AD Skill "Special" in order to use it. Anise's doll, Tokunaga, punches the opponent multiple times and eventually leaps into the air, where it then launches a blast of energy at them. She has two quotes for this arte: one normal and one alternative that will be used if Luke fon Fabre and Jade Curtiss are not in the battle and Ion is not with the party. If the player holds down the "Arte" button button throughout the arte in later playthroughs, it can be extended into Dying Moon (十六夜天舞 Izayoi Tenbu?, "Sixteenth Night Heaven Dance"[1]). In many escort titles, Dying Moon is used to identify Anise's mystic arte, although the arte itself is a combination of these two artes.
In Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Final Fury: Hungry Wolf (殺劇舞荒拳・貪狼 Satsugeki Bukouken: Donrou?) is a variant of the typical arte, used by Regal Bryant. Regal dives down, creating a fissure and then kicks the enemy about nine times, finishing with a back-kick. Additionally, in Tales of Hearts, the arte is a mystic arte that can be used by Kohaku Hearts. Kohaku kicks and smashes the enemies with her rod a dozen times or so, then kicks them down to the ground, ending with a spin and smash kick. In Tales of Zestiria, the Dark Turtlez's version, written as Final Furyz Blade (殺劇吹こう剣 Satsugeki Bukouken?), is a direct parody of Kohaku's version using fish instead of flowers, as they share the same Japanese voice actor.
In Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2, the move is a mystic arte that can be executed by Jude Mathis while in Over Limit mode and activated by using Savage Roar while holding the "Attack" button. It is also a shared mystic arte between Stahn and Cress in their cameo battle, as they each use their individual versions of the arte before ending with simultaneous fire blasts.
