Monster Attacks

What more to say? besides, this is a basic list of attacks that the monsters in FFIV will use against you. Just for reference so you know how to best defend yourself against them (or at the least, be prepared for the worst of it) heh. I'll list the ROM attack names first, followed by a FFIV Anthology Euro listing.
