Extra Hints and Tips:


- To learn "monster-learned" blue magic, the monster must use the corresponding ability on the character trying to learn that ability.

- For a quicker and easier way to learn blue magic (just like in FF7), use the "Control" ability on a monster to force the monster to use the blue magic on you.

- You must have the Blue Mage's "Learning" job-ability as your support ability, regardless of what Job you are, in order to learn the "monster-learned" blue magic abilities.

- The "Steal: Ability" does not apply to trying to learn blue magic.

- One blue mage can not teach another blue mage any blue magic by casting it on each other. Blue magic can only be learned from a monster casting it on you.

- For the sake of trying to learn the "BLOW UP" ability, similar to other Final Fantasy games, the "Bomb" or "Grendade" monsters must have very little health left before they will choose to use the ability.

- For the sake of trying to learn the "ROULETTE" ability, similar to other Final Fantasy games, the character trying to learn this ability MUST have "Auto-Life" or "nullify-Zombie" status in order to live through the attack. (if you die from the monster ability you 'just learned', you will then un-learn it and have to try again)
