    As the name suggests, you have to be near death. The character much be kneeling due to low health, and the fight command with then randomly execute a Desperation Attack. It rarely happens.

    I believe it is a 1/32 chance, or something similar.

    I always get Edgar and Sabin on low hp so there kneeling but they never do it but if it is a 1/32 chance then that explains it, I seen Locke do his near death attack on my first play through, he was about level 10 or 11 and when i used it he did well ova 3000 damage.

    I've played at least eight or ten times, and I believe I've only seen one, which was Celes'.

    They must have really low HP and it happens at random

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    If the HP of the character in question is less than an eighth of their max HP, there is a 1 in 16 chance that using the Fight command will bring about a "Desperation attack" instead. Neither Gau nor Umaro has a Desperation attack.

    yea, they're quite rare and I wouldn't ever depend on them, but they look cool.

    Don't you have to wait for a while in battle first?

    Its pretty random and barely ever happens. I only ever seen Lockes......Twice.
    And Im not sure wether this is a near death attack but sometimes Umaro will pick up one of your party members and throw them at the enemy. It usually deals a fair bit of damage.

    I've seen Locke's, Shadow's, and I believe Terra's.

    And Umaro's picking someone up and hurling them at a monster is a result of the Rage Ring.
