Hit Point

Hit Points (abbreviated HP) is a stat that represents a character or an enemy's health. It is featured in nearly every game of the Final Fantasy franchise, ever since the first game. Whenever a character or enemy takes damage, whether in battle or on the world map, their HP drops to a certain number. When a character's HP falls down to 0, it means they are KO'd and can no longer fight. If every party member loses all of their HP, the result is a Game Over.

HP can usually be restored with recovery items, namely Potions or Hi-Potions, or by using Cure and its upgrades, each restoring more HP than Cure itself — generally, Cura restores a lot of HP while Curaga (or Curaja in some games) restore all HP. Resting at an inn or using an Elixir fully restores a character's stats, which includes their HP.
