Final Fantasy Explorers description
Brace (がまん, Gaman?), also known as Gird, Endure/Endur, or Bear, is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. It is generally a defensive ability meant to reduce damage or prevent death.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy IV[]
Brace was removed in the SNES North American and Easy Type versions. It is the ability of Yang. In the 2D version, Brace is an upgrade of the Defend command; it will cast the Protect spell and grant the Defend status on Yang. The Defend status will wear off on Yang's next turn, and the Protect spell can be reflected if Yang's under the Reflect status. This command has a casting time of 1.
In the 3D version, Brace will reduce all damage the user takes by 75%. Unlike Defend, Brace has a charge time and will wear off when the user selects another action, including Brace. This ability can be learned by any character by using the Brace augment, obtained from Yang after hitting him with the Frying Pan, if he was given two Augments before leaving the party. When equipped on a character that levels up after reaching level 71, it provides +10 HP and +1 Stamina.

Brace is as Yang's exclusive ability. It functions the same way as it did in the predecessor.
