You know, like the black magic spells you can teach Vivi, Eidolons that Eiko and Garnet can learn, those crappy moves that Zidane learns throughout that are rubbish until he enters Trance... Which abilities are the most useful in the game?

In my opinion, one of the most useful abilities is Freya's Reis' Wind. There is not an "all" function in FFIX, so being able to cast Regen on everyone in one move is sweet and sets me up defensively for the fight ahead. Also, Freya's move that absorbs MP (I forget the name, someone please tell me) is very useful when the party needs MP desperately. It's also cool that it gives Freya MP too. :)

White Draw.

I think Theivery, Frog Drop, and Dragon Crest are the best abilties in the game cause the do a guaranteeded 9999. Shock is another one of 'em if you have the right weapon. Flare, Holy, and No Mercy are great although they don't do 9999 for sure, they're pretty close... Any of Eikos' and Garnet's Eidolons are useful to, especially when powered up. So all and all, I think the best ability is Flare or Holy cause Vivi and Eiko can use two of 'em at once for 19998 per turn! :)

It probably depends on what point of the game I'm at. :)

You know, I actually didn't think of Reis Wind until you mentioned it... but early on, Reis' Wind is absolutely a GODSEND. Or... a Gaiasend, or whatever.

Later in the game, I become an absolute warmonger and go all out training my characters with Thievery and Dragon Crest. Those two are definitely my most-used skills, in general.

Steiner - Climhazzard. Lets you hit a whole group of enemies for what is almost always 9,999.

<font color=red face="comic sans ms">Chakra and Aura for Amarant are both pretty useful, although I only really used those while he was in Trance because then they're used on all characters. Regen+Auto-Life - All isn't bad at all. ;)

Yeah, Freya's spells are very useful but Vivi shouldn't be excluded.

In my case....EVERY move in the game has its use....But if I must point at a single move...I'll say Curaga:D....it cures the party pretty well....and it even causes damage to undead monsters...so it's the best move.....:D
