Squall:

Limit Break: Renzokuken
To use Squall's Renzokuken Limit Break, hit the trigger [R1] when you see the indicator at the bottom of the screen flash. You'll understand when you see it. When you hit the button at the right time, it registers as a hit. Also, sometimes a finishing move will be automatically executed after the normal part, which is random. This Limit Break can be very powerful if you raise Squall's Strength enough.

Finishing moves:

NAME EFFECT WEAPON Rough Divide Hits one enemy Any Fated Circle Hits all enemies Shear Trigger or stronger Blasting Zone Hits all enemies Flame Saber or stronger Lionheart Hits one enemy many times Lionheart

Quistis:

Limit Break: Blue Magic
Quistis' Blue Magic abilities are the same as attacks used by certain enemies. In previous Final Fantasy games, Blue Magic spells were learned when the enemies used them against you; this time, however, you learn them by finding various items and using them. As with all FF games that have them, some of the Blue Magic spells are really useful and others are near worthless.

Blue Magic:

NAME ITEM EFFECT Acid Mystery Fluid Various statuses on one enemy Aqua Breath Water Crystal Water attack on all enemies Bad Breath Malboro Tentacle Various statuses on all enemies Degenerator Black Hole Kill one enemy* Electrocute Coral Fragment Thunder damage on all enemies Fire Breath Inferno Fang Fire damage on all enemies Gatling Gun Running Fire Strong physical attack on one enemy Homing Laser Laser Cannon Magic attack on one enemy L?

* Degenerator always works, unless the enemy is immune to it. The only non-boss it doesn't work on are Tonberrys.
** White Wind heals by Quistis's [Max HP - Current HP]

Zell

Limit Break: Duel
If you've played FF3, (6 in Japan) Zell's Duel attacks will probably remind you of Sabin's Blitzes. Both types of abilities are activated with specific button presses, though Zell's are probably a bit simpler. When you use this Limit Break, a window will appear on the bottom of the screen with a few of the moves you've learned. You can only use those moves, so quickly input the required buttons. After Zell executes the move, another window will appear. While the windows are onscreen, a timer will count down; when it runs out, no more Limit. Also, some moves are "finishers"; once you use them, the Duel will stop automatically. Those moves are marked with a "*" in the list. Learn to use Zell's moves effectively, and he can be quite a powerful character. Actually, the best way to use his Limit is probably to just use Punch Rush and Booya repeatedly, since you can do several of those per second... Zell starts with a few moves, and can learn more when you read Combat King magazines.

Duel moves:

NAME BUTTONS EFFECT Punch Rush O-X Damage one enemy Booya R-L Damage one enemy Heel Drop U-D Damage one enemy Mach Kick L-L-O Damage one enemy Dolphin Blow L1-R1-L1-R1 Damage one enemy Meteor Strike D-O-U-O Damage based on target's current HP Burning Rave* D-D-D-D-O Damage all enemies Meteor Barret* U-X-D-T-O Damage one enemy Different Beat* T-S-X-O-U Damage one enemy My Final Heaven* U-R-D-L-T Damage all enemies

Selphie

Limit Break: Slot
Selphie's Limit is a bit unusual. When you use it, the name of a spell and a number appear. The number indicates how many times that spell will be cast. If you don't like the result, choose "Do over" to get another one. Be warned, the battle will continue on while you're selecting slots... Most of the Slots are normal spells, but there are a few special ones. These ones are never cast multiple times, and will appear on Selphie's limit list in her status screen after you use them once.

Special Slots: Full Cure - Restores HP and status to all allies
Wall - Casts Protect and Shell on all allies
Rapture - Kill one enemy. Doesn't work on bosses.
The End - Kill all enemies. Even works on bosses.
Percent* - Drops enemies' HP to critical levels.
Catastrophe* - Heavy damage on all enemies.

*Percent and Catastrophe cannot be obtained normally. You need GameShark codes to use them.

Rinoa

Limit Break: Combine
Rinoa is the only character with two different Limit Breaks. The first Limit Break involves her calling on her dog, Angelo, (you can change his name) for help. The second is Angel Wing, which puts her in a special status. See below for more details on each.

Angelo abilities:

Angelo starts with the Angelo Rush and Angelo Cannon abilities. His other abilities are obtained by reading the various Pet Pals magazines. After reading the magazine, go to Rinoa's status screen and look at her Limit Breaks. Choose the ability you want to learn, then walk around with Rinoa in your party. After a while, you'll hear a noise; this indicates that you've learned the ability.

Angelo's abilities are of two types. The first type are the actual Limit Breaks. When Rinoa gets a Limit Break in battle, select "Angelo" from the list and one of the Angelo abilities you have will be chosen at random, then used. The abilities used this way are Angelo Strike, Angelo Cannon, Invincible Moon, and Wishing Star.

The second type of Angelo abilities are used randomly during a battle. These abilities are Angelo Rush, Angelo Recover, Angelo Reverse, and Angelo Search. Angelo Rush is only used when Rinoa is attacked; Angelo Recover can be used anytime when a character is in critical condition; Angelo Reverse can be used anytime a character is knocked out; and Angelo Search can be used any time whatsoever.

The effects of the Angelo abilities are:

Angelo Cannon - Attacks all enemies
Angelo Strike - Attacks one enemy
Invincible Moon - Makes all allies temporalily invincible
Wishing Star - Repeatedly attacks all enemies
Angelo Rush - Attacks enemy when Rinoa is hit
Angelo Recover - Heals a character in critical condition
Angelo Reverse - Revives a dead character
Angelo Search - Looks for items during a battle


Angel Wing:

Rinoa's Angel Wing Limit Break can only be used after a certain point in the story. This Limit Break puts her in a special status similar to Berserk; Rinoa is uncontrollable, and will only cast spells. However, the effects of the spells are greatly increased. From what I've heard, Rinoa can only cast spells in her stock, but she doesn't actually use up the spells. I haven't used this much.

NAME POWER HIT% COST ITEMS Pinwheel +0 +0 75 M-Stone Piece*3 Valkyrie +3 +2 150 Shear Feather*1 Magic Stone*1 Rising Sun +7 +4 300 Saw Blade*1 Screw*8 Cardinal +13 +5 600 Cockatrice Pinion*1 Mesmerize Blade*1 Sharp Spike*1 Shooting Star +17 +8 750 Windmill*2 Regen Ring*1 Force Armlet*1 Energy Crystal*2

Irvine

Limit Break: Shot
Irvine's Limit Break allows him to shoot special kinds of ammo. This is what Ifrit's Ammo-RF ability is used for. When you activate this Limit, first choose a type of ammo, then a time meter and an ammo indicator will appear at the bottom of the screen. Their functions should be fairly obvious; the time meter gets shorter and shorter, and when it runs out, you can't shoot anymore. The ammo indicator indicates how much of the specified ammo you have left; if it runs out, you can't shoot. Hit the R1 button to shoot. If an enemy takes 0 damage from a shot, it's dead, so don't bother shooting it anymore.

Shot:

NAME AMMO EFFECT Normal Shot Normal Physical attack on one enemy Scatter Shot Shotgun Physical attack on all enemies Dark Shot Dark Status ailments on one enemy Flame Shot Fire Fire attack on all enemies Canister Shot Demolition Strong attack on one enemy Quick Shot Fast Weak, but very fast, attack on one enemy Armor Shot AP Defense-ignoring attack on one enemy Hyper Shot Pulse Powerful attack on one enemy
