When you have Enemy Skill Materia equipped, it gives you a chance to learn certain Enemy Skills after getting hit by said skills. You can then use them yourself. The enemy skills you’ve learned can only be used if you have the Enemy Skill Materia set to your equipment. Overall it works the same way as in the originalFinal Fantasy VII.Nothing new here.
