Unique, Common, Special(?)

What is the source of the categories we have on this page? Shared is clearly stated in the game, but I don't know about the others. What do the guides say? Semi-related, what comes up when you sort the ability list in the menu? --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 05:41, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

I do not remember the guides saying anything about special/unique/common abilities. The abilities were stacked in a table of "Here it is, this is how you earn it."

The term special came from, according to the third introduction paragraph: "Sora also has a set of Special Abilities, very similar to the unique abilities, which do cost MP; in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix these abilities are replicated for Limit Form..." Interesting enough, all special abilities are obtained outside of basic leveling up/weapon abilities.

Unique abilities, as taken from the article: "Unique abilities, including "Special attacks", "Support skills", and "Defense skills", are active abilities that represent combat techniques..."

Common abilities: "Common abilities are the passive abilities that represent personal upgrades, and have effects such as increasing the duration of a Summon, or allowing the character to regenerate MP by taking damage. Common abilities are not unique to any character..."--Xion4ever 14:04, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, but if those are in the article just because we put them there, and they aren't ever called that in-game or in-guide, then we'd be better off calling them what they are, action and support. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 15:27, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
