Haste activates automatically in battle.
Final Fantasy VIII description
Auto-Haste (いつでもヘイスト, Itsudemo Heisuto?), also called Auto Haste, is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series, which in most games permanently maintains a Haste status on the user. Doing so usually protects against Slow as the two status effects counteract each other. Auto Haste is also good in situations where Haste would be dispelled, as it is simply reapplied immediately. Auto Haste is often acquired through the Hermes Sandals accessory.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy V[]
The Hermes Sandals accessory grants Auto Haste to the wearer. The Haste status cannot be removed by death and grants immunity from Slow, Stop, and Sleep.
Final Fantasy VI[]
Auto-Haste is enabled by the Hermes Sandals relic. The status persist even after being KO'd. A side effect of having Auto-Haste is that the wearer becomes immune to slow. Dispel cannot remove haste from allies wearing Hermes Sandals or from enemies that have the status innately. Gau and Gogo under the Rage status can gain this ability permanently when using specific Rages.
Final Fantasy VII[]
The Sprint Shoes accessory casts Auto-Haste.

Final Fantasy XII[]
Auto-Haste is granted by equipping the Hermes Sandals accessory. However, characters equipped with it will not be immune to Slow and Stop. If a character with Auto-Haste is afflicted with Slow, both Haste and Slow will show up in the character's status and and will just cancel each other temporarily until Slow expires. Should the character remove the Hermes Sandal during this time, Slow will take effect.
