Dismiss (戻す, Modosu?) is a recurring command in the Final Fantasy series. It is used by summons or summoners to remove a summon from battle and allows the normal party to return. It is essentially the Escape command for summons. It is only present in games where summons are called into and fight in a battle.

Send aeon away.
Description
Dismiss is a command available to all aeons. Selecting the Dismiss command removes the aeon from battle, and the player party reenters. The only other way to remove aeons from battle is for them to be defeated.
Dismissed aeons will retain any status effects if summoned again during the battle. When dismissing the Magus Sisters, any KO'd sisters will fade away instead of leaping back, and will be restored with 1 HP.
Paying Yojimbo 0 gil will dismiss him and reduce compatibility significantly, ultimately leading to him using weaker abilities more often. Dismissing Yojimbo immediately after he is summoned will also result in lowered compatibility.
During the battle with Seymour, after the player has defeated Anima, the battle message "Seymour dismisses Anima!" appears, and Seymour returns to battle.
Final Fantasy XII[]
The Dismiss command is available to characters when they have summoned an Esper into battle. Using the command removes the Esper from battle and the other characters return. Espers will also be dismissed after 90 seconds (270 in the Zodiac versions), the Esper or summoner is defeated, an airship or chocobo is accessed, or when teleporting at a Save Crystal.
A trick involving the Dismiss command allows the player to activate the Dead character glitch.
