Band (The After Years)

Band is a type of ability in the Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. These are certain abilities that cost MP and can be used when certain characters are in the party. The constituent characters must perform a specific command in order to complete the Band. The player can find more Band abilities while the story progresses, or they can search for them in battle. They can be compared to Limit Breaks found in other games in the series, but with some key differences.

A unique feature of Band is the ability to exceed the damage limit, which 8 of the abilities in the final 'Crystals' arc are capable of doing.

Bands involving Cecil are impossible to perform before the True Moon's Subterrane is cleared.
