Control
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Control, also known as Manipulate, is an ability that appears in various games in the Final Fantasy series. It allows a character to take control of an opponent. When this happens, the character's command window changes to a set of commands that the enemy being controlled normally uses. The player can then choose the target of these commands. In many games, this ability is required to learn certain Blue Magic.

[edit] Appearances
[edit] Final Fantasy V
Control is the Level 2 ability in the Beastmaster class. This is required to learn the Blue Magic spells White Wind, Mighty Guard, and Transfusion.
[edit] Final Fantasy VI
Relm Arrowny can use Control if she equips the Fake Moustache. It allows for Strago to learn some Lores at an easier rate by having Relm control specific enemies, such as Dark Force, and have them cast their Lore on Strago.
[edit] Final Fantasy VII
Manipulate can be used with the Manipulate Materia, found on Cait Sith when he joins. It is required to learn the Enemy Skills Big Guard, White Wind, Death Force, Angel Whisper, and Dragon Force.
[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Control over many species of monsters can be exercised by a Beastmaster. They can even cause such monsters to break the laws, resulting in the monster getting the Yellow Card or Red Card for the violation instead of the Beastmaster, a somewhat cheap, but effective tactic to get rid of certain opponents.
[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
The Beastmaster class returns in A2, however the mechanics for controlling a monster have changed, simply causing the monster to use one of it's attacks during the Beastmaster's turn rather than flat out controlling its turns. Although this means control can never fail, the ability to move the monster is lost.
