Flee-Gil

Flee Gil is a support ability in Final Fantasy IX that can be learnt by Zidane using a Wrist, Desert Boots, or a Gold Choker. This ability is generally learnt fairly early on as Zidane starts with a wrist equipped automatically.

The ability Flee Gil enables your party to still win Gil from a battle even when they escape by the player holding down L1 and R1 simultaneously.

Contrary to popular belief, this ability has no effect whatsoever on Zidane's ability Flee. This often confuses new players of the game, who think that the ability will prevent them losing Gil from performing this ability. It will not.

The ability requires 45 AP to learn and costs 3 Magic Stones to activate.

If Quina is also in your party, and with the Millionaire ability equipped, then your party will gain extra Gil from fleeing in this manner.
