You're incapacitated, of course.
Anyway, in seriousness:
Although, in earlier installments of the FF series, a character actually did die when their HP hit zero. I think it was FFIV or around there where it stopped becoming 'death'.Quote:
"Mommy, why didn't they just use a Phoenix Down on Aeris?"
Don't expect battle mechanics to carry over into the "real world."
i think KO'ed would be closest thing i can think of, its like your charater becomes useless (like a toy with its battery pulled out) in all the battles untill you give them something to restore some health.
Simply because of FF7, I say they are too hurt to fight, and when everyone is too hurt to fight, they're eaten.
You turn back when you last saved duh :D
They faint. Or at least are unable to battle. In FFX, when all characters get KO'ed, you can see the most recently KO'ed glare at the enemy, they also may say a thing or two, so, KO!
I think they're KO'ed (or they faint) in most of the FFs. Characters with 0 HP died in the first few FFs, however, but back then, it was very hard to revive them. For example, in the original FF1 for NES, you could only revive people on clinics/churches or by using Life spells outside battles.
In FFV, it's implied that the characters reaching 0 HP doesn't mean death. When (SPOILER)Galuf dies, the party members try to use Cure spells, Life spells and a Phoenix Down on him, but none of them work anymore. In FFT, the characters faint, but if nobody revives them in 3 turns, they die, turning into a crystal and being gone for good.
In addition, during the battle, I had Galuf as a Berserker, so all he did was attack. When his HP hit zero, he kept fighting (until ExDeath got his HP reduced to zero), so 0 HP can't mean death, because this also similar to the Zombie status.Quote:

Anyway, pertinent opinion is that you faint. You've sustained such injury that you're incapable of action and thusly are removed from the battle. It's in these cases that I wonder why another character can't come in and help them off the battlefield to take their place . . .
Yeah, usually "revive" items and spells are only used to the same effect as CPR. If they could do any better then Aeris wouldn't be dead now would she? Think before you type, people.
Go back to last save?
I had this friend once...... he palyed too much FF
and then he fainted while he thought his HP reached 0
in a dread.!!!!
(SPOILER)HAHA, Do i even need to say??
Then again, when (SPOILER)Galuf fought X-Death, he did have the whole "the power of emotions will increase my power!" thing going on.
I think they just faint. I mean, it's not called a KO for nothing.
KO'ed (i.e. fainting).
Phoenix Down's usually have a description in most games, that they are "able to revive a member from a KO'ed status." Plus, if you were able to revive a character from death with a Phoenix Down, then Aeris would be revivable!
My understanding is that 0 HP means the character is so badly injured that he/she/it can no longer fight or even put up any defense from the enemy. If your entire party is at 0 HP, then they are left helpless and defenseless to the enemies, at which point I'd imagine they all get finished off. Or just left to die. Either way, not able to continue on their quest.
At 0HP you lose the game...which means the characters are taken to the monster nest where naughty things happen!
