Final Fantasy IX

Trances

The Trance system is very similar to the limit break system in FFVIII, this is a very good way to get your revenge on enemies that you simply can beat.

The word is unfamiliar but the concept is almost the same as the signature moves of Final Fantasy VII and VIII characters, the Limit Breaks! It is defined in the game as a sudden surge of emotion which gives you more power and abilities. During this time, your character will glow and he/she can use special Trance Attacks. Take note that these decrease your MPs as well. But mind you, they are very powerful!

To use trance, your trance bar should be filled up first. You can see it just below the ATB of your character. If you get hit by an enemy, your Trance Bar will fill up. The amount depends on the amount of damage you get. The more damage you take, the faster the trance bar will fill up. If the trance bar is full, you'll see your character glow and he/she can use a Trance Attack. Once you're in Trance Mode, your every turn will decrease it and if it empties up, your character will stop glowing and you can't use Trance anymore. You just have to wait again until your trance bar fills up. Your Trance Bar won't go up, though, if anyone from your party hits you, even if they are confused.

Note: If you are afflicted with the Zombie condition, your Trance bar will go down to empty.
