Final Fantasy 9
ไฟนอล แฟนตาซี 9
In Final Fantasy IX, abilities are learned from equipped weapons and armor, with one exception. (Quina, as a blue mage, can also learn abilities by eating enemies.) There are two different types of abilities - action abilities and support abilities. Action abilities can be used when the ability-teaching weapon or armor is equipped, and after the ability has been completely learned. Support abilities are similar, except they must be equipped with magic stones (from the ability section of the menu) if they are to be used when the appropriate item is no longer equipped. Each character has a certain number of magic stones, and this number increases as the character's level does. You can equip each character with as many abilities as the number of stones available will allow.
Most weapons and armor will teach abilities, though not all characters can learn all the abilities available from each piece of equipment. If the character in question cannot learn a particular ability, it will appear in gray, while those that can be learned will be white. Ability points (AP) gained through battle go toward the learning of an ability in the same way that experience points gained in battle contribute to a character's progress toward the next level. After an ability has acquired all the AP required, its gauge will be full and marked with stars. When a character has fully learned all the abilities available from the equipped item, another item should be equipped which will teach new abilities. Remember that to continue using the support abilities from the item being removed, you must equip them in the ability menu. The action abilities are yours to use once they are learned, provided you have the required MP to use them. To see what abilities a character has learned, press the X button while in the status menu. This will show the abilities learned or being learned, and which ones are currently equipped.
