Trigger Commands

From Final Fantasy Wiki

The Trigger Commands in Final Fantasy X are special commands that can be used in battles, producing various effects, like using an object, or talking to the opponent for stat boosts.

[edit] Trigger Commands

Stand By - Skips one round, and heals you in the meantime.

Pincer Attack - Attack enemy from both sides.

Use Crane - In the battle against the Oblitzerator, the player can activate a crane, after charging it with Lightning magic, and remove the Oblitzerator's top part, disabling its best attack and causing severe damage.

Talk - Character talks to an opponent, and gets a boost for one particular stat, i.e Yuna's Magic Defence increases, Auron's Strength increases. This is also usable by Tidus in the final battle against Jecht, in the form of a Final Aeon. Talking to him would drain his Overdrive meter completely.

Pull Back/Move In - In battles on the airship, there are times when the enemies move out of attack range. Tidus and Rikku can command Cid to move the airship towards or away from the enemies.

Open Lock - A Trigger Command which allows you to flee the battle site when fighting Evrae Altana. Helpful if a party member gets shattered.

Move - A Trigger Command used to move around on the platforms during the battle against the Spectral Keeper.

Struggle - When fighting Geosgaeno, a swallowed character can attack him from within. Since Geosgaeno has no scales on the inside, this attack will deliver heavy damage, but it will also cause Geosgaeno to regurgitate the character, dealing heavy damage.
