Aim (ability)

Aim FFIV iOS — Aim in *Final Fantasy IV* (iOS).

Everyone, go go go!

Wakka, Final Fantasy X

Aim (ねらう, Nerau?), also known as Target or Snipe, is a recurring command ability from the Final Fantasy series. It is usually associated with the Ranger or Archer job, and increases the next attack's attack power and accuracy, at the cost of time.

Appearances[]

Final Fantasy IV[]

Rosa using the Aim command (PSP).

Aim is one of Rosa's command abilities. Aim has a Charge Time of 1. Rosa's next attack will do a little more damage, and will always hit, but it takes her a few more seconds to attack. In the 2D versions, it can only be used when equipped with a bow, but in the 3D remake, it can be used with any weapon.

In the original SNES release, Aim can hit KO'd and petrified allies; normally physical attacks are retargeted when aimed at KO'd or petrified characters, but since Aim is not considered a physical attack, it is not retargeted. Because of the same bug, some enemies fail to counterattack to Rosa's Aim, even if they were intended to counter every hit. The bug does not affect the GBA ports.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-[]

Aim is a Rosa-exclusive ability. This command functions the same way as it did in the previous game.

Aim is the Ranger's level 2 ability, learned for 45 ABP. When used, the character attacks with the currently equipped weapon, and is guaranteed to hit (with the exception of the Ninja if it uses Blink). The ability cannot be used if the user is under the darkness status. Rods may still miss even with the Aim ability. The Added Ability of most weapons still activates with Aim as it would with a normal attack.
