The Paramina Rift is a location in the land of Ivalice in Final Fantasy XII. It is a mountain pass that must be crossed to get to Mt Bur-Omisace.

Comprising a great ravine running through the mountains of the Jagd Ramooda, this is a barren land covered in hoarfrost and deep snows. The spent shells of airships hang in the frozen river, and here and there can be seen the ruins of great cities built during the years of the Galtean Alliance. Many are the scholars who believe that the Paramina Rift was once a rich and verdant land, and that a climate change brought about by Mist made it into the cold, harsh jagd we see today.
—Sage Knowledge 77, Paramina Rift

Paramina Rift has three different weather conditions:

Sunny
Cloudy (sky is gray, snow specks in the air)
Blizzard

When the Paramina Rift is in a blizzard, entering the Frozen Brook area resets the weather to cloudy. Ice Elementals come out during cloudy weather in the Frozen Brook and Silverflow's End areas. Only during a blizzard can a Leshach Entite be encountered in the Head of the Silverflow and Icebound Flow areas, and the mark Fafnir appears in Silverflow's End.

A blizzard can be triggered by entering the Paramina Rift from any of the adjacent zones, but not by entering and reentering areas within the Paramina Rift itself. A blizzard, once triggered, will persist throughout the map unless the player enters Frozen Brook or exits the area entirely.

Paramina Rift is of snow terrain and therefore all ice damage is amplified. During a blizzard, fire, ice, and wind attacks are all boosted, and water damage is halved.
