Tent

The Tent (テント, tento) is an item that appears in some Final Fantasy games, starting with the first Final Fantasy. Characters can use the tent on the overworld to rest, which restores either some or all of their HP and MP, depending on the game. After a single use, the tent is discarded. Some of the earlier titles feature Cottages as a more effective counterpart to tents.

History

Final Fantasy series

Final Fantasy

In Final Fantasy, if the Warriors of Light have a Tent, they can use and rest in it from the overworld to restore a lot of their HP and MP. In early releases, a Tent can also be used to save the game progress.

In the North American version of the original NES release, the Sleeping Bag is known as the "Tent", while the actual Tent is called the "Cabin" (with the Cottage being called the "House"). This was rectified in later versions, where their names were changed to match their Japanese names.

Tents can be purchased at the Item Shops of Elfheim, Crescent Lake, and Melmond. In the NES version and the PlayStation version's Hard Mode, Tents cost 250 gil and can be sold for 125 gil. In the PlayStation version's Easy Mode and later remakes, a Tent costs 160 gil and can be sold for 80 gil. The Warriors of Light can also obtain a Tent by defeating a Hill Gigas or Manticore, or in certain treasure chests found at:

• Castle Cornelia (1F)
• Chaos Shrine (present)
• Mount Duergar
• Cavern of Earth (floors B2 and B4)
• Mount Gulg (floor B2)
• Dragon Caves
• Mirage Tower (1F)

Kingdom Hearts series

Kingdom Hearts Wiki article: Tent

In the Kingdom Hearts series, Tents are featured as an item in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, and Kingdom Hearts III.

In Kingdom Hearts, Tents fully restore the HP of every party member. Cottages also make an appearance, and they have a very similar use by also restoring the MP of every party member.

In Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III, Tents fully restore both the HP and MP of every party member, just as Cottages do in Kingdom Hearts. Because of this, Cottages do not return in either game.
