Trance Command. Use special powers.

Description

Dyne is Zidane's Trance skill in Final Fantasy IX. Each Dyne corresponds to one of his Skills, and will be available during Trance when Zidane can use the corresponding Skill. All Dynes are physical non-elemental attacks that target either one or all enemies; their damage is mitigated by the enemy's Protect and the damage is severely hampered if Zidane is minied. Terran script appears during Dyne animations.

Other appearances[]

DFF2015 Free Energy

Free Energy in Dissidia NT.

Zidane uses his Dyne abilities as his special moves in his spin-off appearances. In Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, all of Zidane's HP attacks, and some of his Bravery attacks, are based on his Dyne techniques from Final Fantasy IX, though some function and appear differently—Grand Lethal, for example, has Zidane charging inside a series of energy beams, rather than releasing them from his body, and Shift Break has an addition of lightning columns, mostly to contain the opponent so the final blast of water hits. He also uses his Dyne skills in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, and Final Fantasy Record Keeper.

In Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call, Grand Lethal is an exclusive reactive ability for Zidane. He also uses Grand Lethal in Pictlogica Final Fantasy. In Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade, Zidane uses some of his Dyne skills when summoned as a Legend in battle. In addition, players can obtain some Dyne skills to use in battle.

Etymology[]

Dyne is the unit of force in physics specified in the centimeter-gram-second system of units. It is defined as "the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared". The word ultimately comes from Greek dynamis, meaning "power" or "force".
