[https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Flare_(Final_Fantasy_VII) Flare] first appeared in ''Final Fantasy'' — originally localized 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. However, in ''Final Fantasy VII'', it appears as a fire-elemental spell (which is reflected in its ''Super Smash Bros.'' appearance). Safer∙Sephiroth uses Flare in the original Japanese version of ''Final Fantasy VII''; in the English version, this was changed to the similar move Shadow Flare. It can also used by the party by using the Contain Materia.

[https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Megaflare Megaflare] first appeared in ''Final Fantasy III'' as an attack used by [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Bahamut_(Final_Fantasy_VII) Bahamut]; it 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. In a few rare instances, most notably the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, it is available as a standalone spell.

[https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Gigaflare Gigaflare] first appeared in ''Final Fantasy V'' as Twintania's most powerful attack. It would later appear in ''Final Fantasy VII'' as [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Neo_Bahamut_(Final_Fantasy_VII) 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.
