Potions (ポーション pōshon) are the most basic and common type of healing item found in the Final Fantasy franchise. They first appear in the first Final Fantasy game. Most games have a few ways in which potions can be bought: buying them at certain Item Shops, opening certain treasure chests, or sometimes after defeating certain enemies. Potions have a consistent main purpose throughout the games in that they restore a certain amount of HP for a character, although the amount varies per game. Potions are usually more effective in earlier parts of the games, before the characters' maximum HP increases from leveling up and before they encounter stronger enemies.
There are several potion variations, such as Hi-Potions, X-Potions, and Mega-Potions, and all of them restore more HP than ordinary Potions. These variants are less common than regular Potions, and are usually obtained in later parts of the games. In some games, Potions heal the same amount of HP as Hi-Potions do in other games.
