Dynamis - Limit Breaks

[Vyrerus]

In some fights, the LB3 automatically charges just before you need it.

In others you may need the LB3, but it has to build up over time through its natural building mechanisms(stuff like people getting healed en masse from near death to full HP, breaking Ifrit's nails etc).

I'm of the mindset that when the LB3 builds automatically to 3 charges, that would be a sudden Dynamis reaction. The pressure of the situation teasing out your dramatic need for power, and of course, it mimics the techniques you already know, because as far as we're shown the WoL's use of Dynamis is completely unconscious.

But when it builds naturally, it's merely the techniques developed and used via Aether mainly.

I don't think there's anything official on this yet, because the writers haven't decided what direction they're going to go with it, but Cleretic is correct.

This is a pretty good telling of how to tell what is and isn't dynamis when it comes to limit break building. On terms of actual limit break effects, it muddles a bit. Several LBs look like they'd easily qualify for just aether, such as GNB, MCH, or SGE. While others look like they can qualify for Dynamis, like DRK, MNK, or WHM. But in terms of the actual effects, that's going to be a pretty weird mix of Aether and Dynamis going on that we many never know the full formula for.
