I think you have to level up your GF's more, and the ability will be allowed to be learned by gaining AP for the GF, as if you were learning another ability like Boost, or Card from a GF

Nah, a GF can't learn any abilities that aren't on its list unless you use a special item. 11 squall --- I'm not sure about this, but have you tried the card game? I think you may be able to Card Mod what you want.

i found it! first off get "hundred needles" by refining 100 "cactas thorns". refine the "hundred needles" into 1 "spd up". do this twice to get 2 "spd up". refine them into 1 "spd j scroll", use amnesia greens on a gf to remove an unwanted ability and teach it spd j.

There are only 3 GF's who can learn Initiative
Those are Cactuar, Pandemona and Tonberry
so you COULD divide them under your 3 characters ..
I have all of my characters a GF with Initiative and Abilityx4 but none of the 3 has Initiative used ..
It can only help to beat Malboro's and Cactuars. Both I can handle pretty well ..
In the fights that are important (Omega Weapon) it doesn't matter ..

yes, but in order to have all three of those gfs(the ones with initiative) split then one charactor would not have spd-j, now that i got that item i dont have to worry about it. initiative comes in handy with those hard battles, so i can cast auraon squall quickly and do extencive damage to the enemy before they can atack.

There no enemies apart from Malboro that can kill you that quickly that you need Initiative. It's handy, I know, but certainly not the ability I would use ...
I'd think rather of Auto-Haste, which if you Junction Spd a little well, is nearly Initiative but both have their effects still after the beginning of the battle

Personally I found initiative useful for taking on Omega Weapon........ Now there is a hard b******

What's Omega Weapon first attack ? LV5Death now be quickly with Initiative and cast Holy War before his attack ... aaaah ... too late ..
You could as well Junction 100 Death to ST-Def-J to resist that attack ..

Oh, I know, maybe you need Initiative to do a quicly 2 500 000 dmge before he attack, I see, I understand ..

Certainly in a battle this long I think Auto-Haste is WAAAAAY more usefull than Initiative, and if you use both : I know there's something more usefull than initiative like Spd+40% or Vit+60% ...

(plz don't take it personal if it sounded like this)
