Final Fantasy V description

Sinewy Etude (力の歌? or ちからのうた, Chikara no Uta?), also known as Brave Ballad and Rallying Etude, is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. It usually increases the party's physical attack strength, and is used via the Sing command.

Appearances[]

Final Fantasy V[]

Sinewy Etude is a skill for the Bard's Sing command. When used in battle, it gradually raises the party's Strength over time, up to a maximum of 99. The Bard can take no other action while singing and the song is stopped if the Bard is hit by an attack.

Sinewy Etude can be obtained once the player has played at least seven pianos; they then need to go to Crescent and speak to the minstrel at Minstrel's House immediately after playing his piano (even if this particular piano has already been played before). In Pixel Remaster, the player originally needed to have played only four pianos for the minstrel to grant the song, but this was a bug that was corrected in a later patch: from then on, the player needs to have played seven pianos as in previous versions of the game, which is only possible by the time of the merged world (or, more accurately, by the time of Galuf's world, but the player will have to wait until they reach the merged world to be able to return to Crescent).

Final Fantasy XI[]
