the one thing i hate about IX

Limit Break > Trance

I never get worked up about things like this. My main source of damage comes from Frog Drop and Dragon Crest

Totally agreed. Once you get stronger and deal more damage, Trance becomes useless (except for the cases where it hits twice like for Eiko and Vivi). I usually just forget about Trance altogether because it's so terribly unreliable, and it isn't long before you no longer even need it.
