In the PSX version of ''VII'', Sword Dance could only be learned as a hybrid skill by reaching rank 5 in the [[Warrior]] or [[Dancer]] vocations immediately after completing the other. Because [[Aishe]] has mastered the Dancer vocation prior to joining, she is capable of learning it faster than other characters after under-going a 30 battle "rehabilitation" period to fulfill the skill's requirement check.
