Aim (ability)

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.

AppearancesEdit

Final Fantasy IVEdit

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 non-3D 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 isn't 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 doesn't affect the GBA ports.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-Edit

Aim is Rosa exclusive ability. This command functions the same way as it did in the prequel.

Final Fantasy IV: The After YearsEdit

Rosa can only use Aim when she is equipped with a bow. Aim has a Charge Time of 1.

Final Fantasy VEdit

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 Blind status. Rods may still miss even with the Aim ability.

Certain weapons have an Added Ability that randomly activates when the weapon is used with the Attack or Aim commands. Activated spells are cast in addition to the used command, but Mug from Thief Knife and Dance from Dancing Dagger replace the Aim command if randomly triggered.
