Most Useful Ability

There are many abilities to obtain during the game..but what do you think is/are the best one(s)?
I guess the ones that used me out the most in the entire game are $Toss and SShot...
Thus throwing the money and hitting an opponent 4 times in a row....if two weapons are equipped 8 times in a row.
They just made a lot of stuff easier for me...

What you think is the best ability?

Peace out

Depends where you are. Dawezy said somewhere and I will have to agree that at times sword grabbing is a great help, like when your training. So I will say that, since training is hard to do on the game, so you need all the help you can get ^^

As vivi said, it all depends where you are in the game. I've personally liked X-Fight, and it comes in handy against several bosses. I'm a miser, so I don't like wasting my money, unless of course, it's the final fight.

SShot is an awesome ability. The best, actually, in my opinion. It always kicks the enemy's ass very easily.

Toss, isnt that the one where you throw money at the enemy? Well, I found that very useful at the Final Boss, but ONLY the Final Boss. Because its the last time youll ever use all that money of yours, and youll never need it again, of course, right? So spend all that crap, whilst dealing hella lot of money!

yeah, toss is only good for when you have millions upon millions saved up, only to throw at the final boss.
SShot worked liked a beauty for my game, helped me the most.

I got quite a few, so i'll just be listing them now.

SwrdGrb
As Vivi mentioned above, i find it to be an extremely handy ability to have.. especially on your weaker characters who are prone to one-hit kills, lol, Bards and Dancers alike.

X-Magic
While not so-much effective later on in the game, its a life-saver early in the game. Being able to cast 2 Cure2's or Fire2's has its finer points. May eat up the MP (in a sense) but its the effectiveness that counts.

Sing
Yes, the main ability of the Bard. It is EXTREMELY handy to have in a party, his/her defense and attack aside its got some damn fine battle-turning Songs to help you out.. and the best thing is. All the Songs are free, no MP use, can be cast many times over. Putting all Monsters to sleep, and confusing them all, is quite the sight to see.

Counter & Chakra
Counter speaks for itself, particularly if you are in the Monk job. It regularly deals critical hits and can attack in upwards of.. well, 10 times or more in battle.. depends how many occasions you get hit in the battle lol. And Chakra, well damn, that speaks for itself too.. quick healing spell, costs no MP, and removes Darkness and Poison. You tell me if that isnt good? lol

I could list more, but thats all off the top of my head.

Sshot. The one and only. Besides, I liked to play with Control.

Well there is a difference between what a favorite ability is and what the most useful abilities are.

My favorite ability was probably the Geomancers Earth attack, as I liked the Geomancer effects, it reminded me of Mog's Dancing from FF VI.

I also like the Hunters SShot and Critter moves.

However the best ability in the game is most undoubtedly $Toss. You'll only use it when you don't need money anymore or you'll save it for the last battle, and money is irrelevent at that point so why not throw it?

Thumbs up *Useful!*

*hmmm...there are plenty of skills and abilities to use for each situations and for different enemies but for my choice these skills have been useful throughout the game...

*Chakra Its very useful at the beggining of the game becasue there isnt any high HP giving potions yet.this skill is also useful for spell casters because it also regenerates MP...cool

*Cure All levels of cure magic by the white mage are useful,naturally to restore HP and stay alive in the game.It can also be used for the undead opponents...very dandy

*White wind his is another HP restoration skill by the blue mage monster skills,its very useful becasue it restores all the parties HP...very useful against enemies using Spells that hit all your party!

*Thousand needle I hope I got the name correct,its the blue skill of the blue mage got from the blow fish,its useful because it gives 1000 damage to any opponent!very useful to enemies with high defense and magic resistance,and to boss monsters too!

*Equip Armour this skill is useful to party members who are spell casters,they need this skill to equip armour and increase their defense!I dont use it much thou!hee hee

*Black Magic I think all the black magic spells are very useful from time to time,especially to opponents with high defense and low magic defense!I personnaly like FLARE!MWAHAHA

*hmmm...thats all I can think for now Chow,ta ta ,arivaderchi!

Blue Mage: White Wind, for its nice heal-all ability.

Red Mage: RedX2, if you need to bring back a fallen character and heal him/her in one fell swoop, or bring back two dead characters in one go.

Samurai: $Toss. Major damage providing you have gil to waste.

Thief: See secret passages. Excellent for treasure hunting in some areas.

Hunter: Sshot. Quadruple attack. At high levels it can be very damaging.

Dancer: Sword Dance. Major attack damage especially with the Brave Sword/Chicken Knife.

I'll think of more later, but right now this is all I have.
