Limit Breaks
Rinoa has 2 limit breaks, Combine and Angel Wing. She gets Angel Wing 3/4 into the game.

Combine
Rinoa's Pet Dog, Angelo, comes to the battle and randomly performs a move that he knows, during Rinoa's Limit or just randomly.. Angelo can learn new tricks by reading the Pet Pals Magazine. After you read it, go to the Angelo status screen, then select the new trick that you just read about. There should be a bar next to it with nothing filled in. As you walk around, the bar will slowly get filled in, and when it is full, Angelo can now perform that trick. There are 6 Pet Pal Magazine that can be found.

Angel Wing
When Rinoa does Angel Wing, she goes into a situation similar to Berserk, only that she only uses magic. Rinoa will be uncontrollable for the rest of the battle or until she dies. Her magic power and Speed is raised, and all the magic she randomly uses does not come from the stocked magic.
