Editing Hit Point

{{images}}
'''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)|Final Fantasy]]'' franchise, ever since the [[Final Fantasy|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's loses all of their HP, the result is a [[Game Over]].

HP can usually be restored with recovery items, namely [[Potion]]s or [[Hi-Potion]]s, 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.

In ''Final Fantasy'', a character's HP increases upon [[level|leveling up]] by a number of points equal to a quarter of their [[Stamina]], with additional stronger HP increases on certain levels depending on a character's [[class]].

The maximum HP cap is 999. In earlier releases, it is unlikely for most classes to attain this value, with the exception of [[Monk (Final Fantasy)|Monks]] and [[Master (Final Fantasy)|Masters]], who are guaranteed to reach 999 HP by level 50, and [[Warrior (Final Fantasy)|Warriors]] and [[Knight (Final Fantasy)|Knights]], who often reach it depending on random Stamina increases.

In the [[PlayStation]] remake's Easy Mode and all later versions, the maximum level is increased to 99, and reaching the HP cap becomes more feasible for other classes. In ''[[Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls]]'' and later releases featuring the [[Soul of Chaos]] dungeons, it's possible to reach the cap for any class without relying on luck due to the addition of [[Golden Apple|Golden]] and [[Silver Apple]]s, which permanently raise a character's maximum HP.

(On the following tables, elements available in all versions of the game are listed in '''bold'''. Items introduced in ''Dawn of Souls'' that aren't included in the ''[[Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster|Pixel Remaster]]'' release are listed in ''italics''.)
