Final Fantasy XIII
Targeting ((ロックオン, Rokku On?, lit. Lock-on) in Japanese) is an enemy ability that targets aparty member and prepares to unleash Pinpoint Beam. It is used by the Ushumgal Subjugator.
Final Fantasy XIV
In the battle against the Ghrah Luminary in Pharos Sirius (Hard), an enemy called Corruption will sometimes be spawned; this enemy will use Targeting on a player to indicate that it is going to copy them. Targeting causes a tether to attach to the targeted player; this tether can be dragged onto other enemies in the room to cause them to be targeted instead. Doing so is a good idea, because Corruption will be much weaker if it is copying the spiders or birds instead of a player character.
