First Aid (ability)

First Aid is a recurring ability in the Ivalice-related game series. It is a weaker version of the Recover ability found in other games, restoring minor HP to one target.

Final Fantasy XII
First Aid is a Technick that enables the user to heal a target HP when in HP Critical condition (less than 20% of max HP remaining) with a very low cast time. This technick will not work if the target is not in critical status. The health recovered is minor, less than of a regular Hi-Potion.


 * HP recovery = 0.2 x MAX HP x Random (0 ~ 1)

The technick costs 700 gil and 20 License Points. Balthier has already learned this technick when he joins the party and has it as one of his default gambits.

In the International Zodiac Job System version, Balthier still knows First Aid initially. The job classes that can use First Aid are Archer, Knight, Monk, Shikari, and Uhlan.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
First Aid is a skill learned by enemy Sky Pirates at level 30 and restores 50 HP to the user.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
First Aid is an ability used by the Hume Soldier and Bangaa Warrior job classes from the Shortsword and requires 100 AP to master. It has a Magic Power of 25 and is stealable through the ability Steal: Ability.

This heals a small amount of HP to the user with no MP cost. It also cures all status ailments, as long as the unit can act.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
First Aid is available only to the Soldier and Warrior classes, learned for 100 AP from the Broadsword. It merely restores very minor HP to the user.
