The Phoenix Down is extremely expensive, and cures KO status. It's actually cheaper to just buy Life Tomes for your three main Characters than buy a single Phoenix Down, and unless you are caught with everyone dead or out of MP, it's basically just as effective. Don't spend money on these, but don't be afraid to keep one around just in case. They're pretty valuable when sold, as well.
