 IX. Limit Breaks |
Squall's limit breaks start out with the Renzokuken, then ends with a finishing move. The finishing move is determined by which weapon he has (see Part VIII: Weapons for how to get them), and is completely random.
| Name | Weapon(s) |
| Rough Divide | Revolver |
| Fated Circle | Shear Trigger |
| Blasting Zone | Flame Saber, Twin Lance, Punishment |
| Lion Heart | Lion Heart |
