Mimic ( ability ) Mimic , also known as Mime and Copycat , is a command ability in several " Final Fantasy " games . It is the signature ability of the Mime class , allowing a character to copy a previous command , whether it be from themselves or an ally ' s , and typically does so without expending MP or , in case of using items , without actually expending the item from the inventory . Appearances . " Final Fantasy V " . Mimic is the Mime ' s main command ability , learned for 999 ABP . Mimic allows the Mime to repeat the previous action with no MP consumption ; however : " Final Fantasy VI " . Gogo ' s special ability is Mimic that lets Gogo mime the last action used . When mimicking spell use , Gogo uses no MP , and when mimicking item use or throw , no items are expended from the inventory . However , mimicking Gil Toss still uses up gil . If Mimic is used directly after Interceptor counterattacks for Shadow , Gogo will call Interceptor for the same attack . Gogo cannot mimic Desperation Attack s . If nobody has taken any action yet , and Gogo uses Mimic , Attack will be used . " Final Fantasy VII " . Equipping the Command Materia Mime or Master Command gives access to Mimic command that copies the last action taken in battle . The user can mimic his or her own Limit Breaks , and the Materia can be linked with Support Materia for interesting results , such as linking it with multiple Command Counters to counterattack an attack with multiple Limit Breaks . Mime works on spells that fail due to lack of MP . " Final Fantasy X " . Copycat is a Special ability that mimics an ally ' s previous command for the MP cost of 28 . It is located near the end of Rikku ' s section of the basic Sphere Grid and the start of Lulu ' s section , but a Lv . 4 Key Sphere is needed to access it . Characters cannot mimic each others ' Overdrives or Yuna ' s summoning . Copycat takes MP to use , but can be made useful for mimicking actions that would otherwise take more MP to perform , such as Doublecasting Ultima or Death for getting rid of weaker enemies faster . Copied attacks are subject to Copycat user ' s weapon abilities , such as Magic Booster and Magic Plus % factors . Copycat is thus not identical to the copied move , but is its own command ; e . g . if a character copies Quick Hit or Quick Pockets , they will merely use a regular physical attack or an item , without getting their next turn faster , because the Copycat command doesn ' t have this " bonus " . When fighting the Mimic enemies in Omega Ruins , Copycat is nullified . " Final Fantasy XI " . Colibri may cast any spell cast upon them within the last 30 seconds . They will cast the spell either onto the character who cast upon them or onto the member of the group with the greatest enmity . Abilities cannot be copied , only magic ( including songs , ninjutsu and Blue Magic ) . " Final Fantasy Tactics " . The Mime cannot actually use the mime ability , since it will copy a unit ' s actions the second it sees them . " Bravely Default " . Mimic is a Miscellany ability learned by Freelancers at job level 14 ( max ) . It allows the character to perform the same action as the previous one , whether it was the Mimic user ' s or another ally ' s . No HP , MP , BP , pg , or items will be consumed . " Dissidia Final Fantasy " . Bartz Klauser ' s battle style is based on mimicking and combining two of his comrades ' abilities , while his HP attacks are integral imitations of some of his allies ' . " Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy " . Mimicry returns as Bartz Klauser ' s battle style in the prequel to " Dissidia " , which has suffered heavy changes since the original game , as many of his combos were replaced or changed to include abilities from new characters to " Dissidia " .
