Items
This is a list of consumable items in the party inventory. They can be used during battle (such as Potions or Phoenix Downs) or on the world map (such as Shrouds). Other items that are not consumables can be found in the Key Items list.
Potion
- In Game Description:
- “Restores a small amount of HP to all allies.”
- Additional Details:
-
The default HP restoration rate is 150 HP but this changes to 5% of the character’s HP if the character has more than 3,000 HP. This helps ensure that Potions continue to provide value later on in the game because, unlike in previous Final Fantasy instalments, there are no Hi-Potions, X-Potions, etc. as you progress through Final Fantasy XIII.
The effects of a Potion can be increased if the character using it has a
Doctor’s Code equipped.

This effect can be increased through the use of the
Improved Raise or Improved Raise II passive ability.
