Stat-Enhancing abilities are a recurring set of abilities in the series. They are often the side effects of accessories or equipment, or part of a job class, and offer some sort of bonus to stats, such as increased HP and MP.

Various stat-enhancing abilities appear in-game and can be customized onto weapons and armor, including the +% stat bonuses. Several commands, such as Cheer, Focus, and Reflex, and many of Rikku's mixes also provide stat-enhances, and can be used freely throughout a battle once a character has learned the ability.

HP +5%, HP +10%, HP +20%, and HP +30% increase the maximum HP of the player with the relevant equipped armor. They can all be found on dropped armor, or customized onto armor by using an X-Potion item, three Soul Spring items, five Elixir items, and a Stamina Tonic respectively.

MP +5%, MP +10%, MP +20%, and MP +30% increase the maximum MP of the player with the relevant equipped armor. They can all be found on dropped armor, or customized onto armor by using an Ether item, three Soul Spring items, five Elixir items, and a Mana Tonic respectively.

Final Fantasy X-2

The majority of stat-enhancing abilities appear only on accessories or a specific Dressphere or Garment Grid. Several, including HP+%, MP+%, Double HP and Double MP will provide a constant effect even after battle, while others, like Critical, must be applied directly during battles. This also marks the first appearance of Turbo abilities, such as Turbo Bushido and Turbo Black Magic, making it easier to use specific abilities much more quickly.

HP+10%, +15%, +20%, +40%, +60%, and +100% are all abilities found on accessories. HP+10% can be found on Black Ring, Sword Tome, Nature's Tome, and Bushido Tome, HP+15% on Cat's Bell, HP+20% on Iron Bangle, HP+40% on Titanium Bangle, HP+60% on Mythril Bangle, and HP +100% can be found on Crystal Bangle, Iron Duke, Key to Success, and Adamantite.

MP +10%, 20%, +40%, +60%, and +100% are all MP Plus abilities that can only be accessed by equipping various accessories. MP +10% can be accessed via equipping Black Ring, Arcane Tome, Black Tome, and White Tome, MP +20% by equipping Heady Perfume and Wizard Bracelet, MP +40% by equipping Silver Bracer, MP +60% by equipping Gold Bracer, and MP +100% by equipping Rune Bracer, Iron Duke, Minerva's Plate, and Key to Success.

Final Fantasy XI

Unlike most games in the series, most support abilities are implemented as stats with a full numerical range, rather than being binary "either this ability is set, or it isn't" conditions. This makes the list of "stats" in this game very long. Most job traits simply give a bonus to one of these many stats. Double Attack, for example, rather than being "the ability to attack twice" is instead "a trait that boosts the Double Attack% stat" and is merely one of many ways to raise this stat, and all of them stack with each other.

Neither equipment nor job traits can bestow status effects in this game, and therefore abilities like Auto Regen simply increase the Regen stat instead of bestowing a permanent Regen status like normally one would expect – and the effect stacks with equipment with +Regen stats as well as with status effects like Regen.

Job Trait	Job(s)	Effect
Accuracy Bonus	Blue Mage, Dancer, Dragoon, Ranger	Increases Accuracy.
Attack Bonus	Blue Mage, Dark Knight, Dragoon, Warrior	Increases Attack.
Auto Refresh	Blue Mage, Paladin, Summoner	Increases Refresh.
Auto Regen	Blue Mage, Rune Fencer, White Mage	Increases Regen.
Clear Mind	Black Mage, Blue Mage, Red Mage, Scholar, Summoner, White Mage	Increases MP recovered while healing.
Defense Bonus	Blue Mage, Paladin, Warrior	Increases Defense.
Evasion Bonus	Blue Mage, Dancer, Puppetmaster, Thief	Increases Evasion.
Max HP Boost	Blue Mage, Monk	Increases HP.
Max MP Boost	Blue Mage, Scholar, Summoner	Increases MP.

Final Fantasy XII

Augments on the License Board provide stat enhancements. Swiftness cuts down action time, Shield Block increases the chances of blocking with a shield, Spellbound allows for buffs to last longer and Channeling reduces cost of magick by 10%. Focus and Serenity both increase stats as long as the user is at full HP.

Battle Lores, Magick Lores and HP Lores add to the character's base stats. Some armor and accessories also provide enhancements, such as the Genji Armor boosts the user's Counterattack rate, and Cameo Belt lets the user ignore enemy's evasion.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

Each character has access to at least one ability that provides a stat-enhancement to the entire team, and are unique to each character. Various other stat enhancement abilities are available only for specific character which raises their specific stats, such as Strength and Magick Power.

Final Fantasy XIII

Characters receive stat enhancement by simply being in a paradigm role; the higher the role's level, the better the enhancements. For example, the higher level the Synergist, the longer the bestowed buffs last. Weapons and accessories can have passive abilities which give additional enhancements, such as increased ability to fill an opponent's stagger gauge, or better chance to counterattack.

Different roles also learn enhancing abilities, such as the Commando ability Adrenaline, which boosts the Commando's attack power when they are of high HP, or the Ravager's Vigor ability which boosts their ability to amass chain bonuses.
