White Mage: Life's refreshing breeze, blow in energy! Cure!
	This article can be improved in areas such as Proper levels for the abilities - many of the current listed levels are taken from List of Dissidia Final Fantasy Abilities, but the levels were changed between games. Please refer to the Manual of Style or Editing Help to get started.

This is the List of Abilities in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. Abilities are classified into three categories: namely, Action Abilities, Support Abilities, and Extra Abilities.

• Action abilities are abilities that are used for moving and defending in the battlefield. There are abilities that can be used by pressing the Action button (the Triangle), the R button, or a combination of the two, and there are abilities that increase mobility of the character.

• Support abilities are abilities that from the word itself, supports the character. Support abilities consists mainly of automatic abilities (Auto EX Burst, Auto Chase).

• Extra Abilities are abilities that are unlocked by Level 25 and above. These abilities are useful in the way that they can turn the tables of battle. Aside from these abilities, there are also "Disable" abilities available so that if the enemy has the corresponding critical-causing ability, it could have no effect on the player.

TriviaEdit

• Balthier and Fran makes a cameo appearance as tutors in the Abilities Customization menu.
• If the leader of a party is using an "Exp to ___" ability, their party members will not earn any experience at the end of the battle.
• Due to a glitch, if Snooze and Lose is used against Warrior of Light, Terra Branford, Squall Leonhart, Shantotto, Laguna Loire or Emperor Mateus with right level and right CPU Strength (these stats randomly occur, so they will not always be the same), the enemy will stop moving until the player gets too close or attacks.
