Ok, i have looked all over on the first page on this forum and their is something for overdrives but no this specific topic. i want to know if anyone here knows how you get a particular overdrive mode. i mean i understand a little bit but is their like a specific number of things you have to do to get them? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if there is a specific amount of times a action is needed to be taken to get the overdrive modes. If you want Warrior, keep inficting damage. If you want Healer, just keep healing your party. etc

I know thats not much help, but more detailed guides can be found at www.gamefaqs.com

Yes, there is a specific number of times you must perform a particular action before you obtain the desired overdrive mode. Its a different number for each character so i would have to agree with The Hamster and direct you to gamefaqs.

Stotic- Initally Avaliable
Warrior- Deal damage to enemy
Healer- Heal Ally
Comrade- Ally other than self hit by enemy
Slayer- Defeat and enemy
Victor- win battle as an included member
Tactican- Inflict negative status on enemy
Hero- Defeat enemy with high HP
Ally- When you get you turn
Daredevil- Turn reaches self whilst in critical(yellow HP)
Loner- Turn reaches self as only member able to battle
Coward- Escape from battle
Dancer- Evading enemy attack
Rook- Reducing or nulifing enemy attacks
Sufferer- Hit by negative status
Victim- Turn gets to self when in negative status
Avenger- enemy KOs ally other than self

That is how to get them but I am not to sure on the amounts most of them are in between 80-200, with the exception of Loner 35- 180 or coward 400-1000.

Hope it helps.

cool...there's a lot of modes, huh?

thanks for posting all these they have really helped. :)
