Character commands

Tools and Blitz

Edgar selects reusable Tools that he has acquired. Shop inventories and found equipment expand his options. Sabin selects Blitz, enters the learned directional or button sequence and confirms; his techniques expand as he progresses.

Lore and Rage

Strago can learn eligible enemy Lores witnessed in battle, subject to acquisition conditions. Some enemies and opportunities are missable, so check a version-specific Lore list.

On the Veldt, Gau’s Leap temporarily removes him from the party. On his later return he can learn eligible Rages from the monsters present when he leapt and when he returned; intervening battles do not supply those Rages. Rage directs his actions during battle.

Dance and other commands

Mog learns dances by fighting in different terrain; the original release has a limited opportunity to learn the water dance. During the GBA Leviathan battle, keep Mog from using Dance if he needs to learn the water dance. Celes’s Runic absorbs eligible spells, including friendly ones, while active and requires suitable equipment.

Commands and names vary by edition. See the character pages for recruitment and the cited ability lists for individual techniques and conditions.
