'''Pearly Gates''', also ~~know~~ as ''Grand Cross'', is a powerful ability that deals Wind-elemental damage to a group of enemies. Depending on the game, it is classified as either a skill or a spell. The exact damage output varies between titles, but it always inflicts additional damage to [[Undead family|zombie-like]] {{MFamilies}}s.

Grand Cross retains its Japanese name in most localisations and is [[Hyunckel]]'s most powerful, but also most dangerous, technique - using a cross-shaped object as a medium, he can convert his own life force into an extremely destructive blast of Holy Aura.

Pearly Gates is classified as a spell in this installment, which [[Angelo]] can use after allocating 100 skill points into his Charisma skill. It deals an additional 50% damage to the {{Undead}} now, easily justifying the 20 {{MP}} cost in the post-game bonus dungeon.

The animation was changed from the usual cross slash of wind to a blast of energy being summoned from below the target in the international versions of the game, likely due to [[Square Enix]] not wanting to risk offending religious sensitivities.

*[[Marcello]] also uses the spell when the {{Party 8}} fights him as a boss. When he uses it, it still uses the original cross slash animation from the Japanese version of the game that envelops the party in blasts of holy light.

Grand Cross retains its Japanese name in most localisations and is [[Hyunckel]]'s most powerful, but also most dangerous, technique - using a cross-shaped object as a medium, he can convert his own life force into an extremely destructive blast of Holy Aura.

This attack has also been used by its inventor [[Avan]] and later imitated by [[Hym]], though only someone with Hyunckel's uncanny ability to come back from the verge of death is able to use it as a practical combat technique; Avan demonstrates the technique only at small scale and claims that he would die if he used it at full power, while Hym's first usage destroys both of his arms.
