Boost

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Boost is a recurring ability that increases damage.

Contents

[edit] Appearances

[edit] Final Fantasy III

Used by Black Belts. Using it once increases damage dealt, while using it twice increases damage further. Using it three times will hurt the Black Belt and release all the stored energy.

[edit] Final Fantasy IV

Technically, though not called Boost, Yang's ability Power allows him to forfeit a turn, and attack at double power the next turn, much like many other incarnations. In the DS Version, this ability is called Focus.

[edit] Final Fantasy VIII

Guardian Forces' attacks are enhanced by Boost via timed button presses, which explains why they have such long cinematic cutscenes. The GFs Diablos, Carbuncle, Cerberus, and Cactuar don't have Boost, and their effects either do not do damage, or do a set amount of damage. A character's compatibility with a GF determines how much they can boost it before the animation ends.

[edit] Final Fantasy IX

Boost is a support ability that enhances Garnet and Eiko's summons.

[edit] Final Fantasy X

Boost is a command that is available to the Aeons if you press right on the command menu. It allows the Aeon's Overdrive gauge to fill up quicker, at the cost of the Aeon taking more damage. It is the opposite of Shield.

[edit] Final Fantasy XI

Boost is used by Monks. It raises the next attack for approximately three minutes and is stackable. It works well in conjunction with Chi Blast and to increase enmity. Boost can be enhanced by wearing Temple Gloves.

[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics

Although it is not called Boost, the Archer Job class has an ability, Aim, that is quite similar.

[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Boost is usable by Archers. It increases the power of their next attack. The Templar's Cheer is identical.
