Trivia

• Serah and Noel only learn defensive enhancements and therefore have to rely on monster Synergists to enhance the party's offensive capabilities.
• In contrast to Final Fantasy XIII, no playable units nor monster allies can learn Haste. The only way for players to obtain Haste is to get a preemptive strike or equipment, like the Hermes Sandals. Another way of obtaining Haste is by reviving an ally using Phoenix Blood or to use a Feral Link that provides Haste, though those are few and far between. Lightning's Aura and War's Benediction are the only commands that can grant Haste, and only to her.
• The Bar-spells Synergists could learn in Final Fantasy XIII are not available in Final Fantasy XIII-2 in any form. The closest one could get would be resistance accessories.
  • Sentinel's Element Guard is the closest to Bar-spells from the first installment as it reduces received elemental damage.
• -Ga versions of spells have been added since Final Fantasy XIII and they share similarities with the now removed -ra versions: Both the -ga and -ra tiers have significantly shorter durations than their regular versions, but the boost for Bravery, Protect, Faith, and Shell hasn't changed.
• Since the removal of the Water element, Enwater has disappeared and Enaero has been added.
• Vigilance has had its effect partially changed since Final Fantasy XIII; it no longer boosts the affected character's chances of interrupting enemies. Instead, Vigilance now lowers Wound damage taken.
