Description
Animals, also called Critt, is a command in Final Fantasy V. It is the level 1 ability of the Ranger, and calls a creature to assist the party. The triggered effect is random, but more animals become available as the character levels up. In the chart below, the level column refers to the minimum level at which it is possible for a character to call that animal. For example, the Unicorn will never appear unless the character is at level 60 or higher.
Obtained[]
Animals is not innate to Rangers. It can be equipped by any job after obtaining job level 1 as a Ranger, for only 10 AP, making it very cheap.
Mechanics[]
The animal to be called is determined by a random number the game generates between 0 (inclusive) and the character's level (inclusive). If the number is 0, it triggers Mysidian Rabbit. If the number is greater than 0 but less than 5, it triggers the Squirrel. If the number is greater than 4 but less than 10, it triggers the Bee Swarm, if it is greater than 9 but less than 20, it triggers the Nightingale, and so on for every later creature, meaning that the chance of lower level animals being called is smaller at higher levels. If the player were to level up all the way to level 99, the chance of getting the Unicorn would be high, as any random number between 60 (inclusive) and 99 (inclusive) would call the Unicorn.
Mimicking Animals still has a random outcome.
