Flare first appeared in ''Final Fantasy'', originally localised under the name NUKE where it was a high level Black Magic spell. Despite its name and appearance, it is often listed as a non-elemental spell. Curiously, in both ''Final Fantasy VII'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' it is changed to a fire-elemental spell. Safer∙Sephiroth uses Flare in the original Japanese version of ''Final Fantasy VII'' - this was changed to the similar move Shadow Flare in the English version. | Flare first appeared in ''Final Fantasy'', originally localised under the name NUKE where it was a high level Black Magic spell.

Megaflare first appeared in ''Final Fantasy III'' as an attack used by Bahamut and has since come to be known as the dragon's signature attack in every game it appears in, often shown as a massive explosion or destructive beam of energy fired from its mouth. | Megaflare first appeared in ''Final Fantasy III'' as an attack used by Bahamut and has since come to be known as the dragon's signature attack in every game it appears in, often shown as a massive explosion or destructive beam of energy fired from its mouth. | ||
Gigaflare first appeared in ''Final Fantasy V'' as Twintania's most powerful attack. It would later appear in ''Final Fantasy VII'' as Neo Bahamut's attack and like Megaflare, would come to be closely associated with more powerful strains of Bahamut though other monsters like the Archeodemon would have access to it in their repertoire. | Gigaflare first appeared in ''Final Fantasy V'' as Twintania's most powerful attack.
