Question about skills with a specific number of hits.

Is it possible to, say, create a "Double Strike" skill that always tries to hit twice?

Certainly, the formula to use this is the "Triple" Attacks of the Tiamat's, but I can't recall which formula it's called.  But in any case, the amount of times it hits is guaranteed, it's what I plan to use for Rad's Red Mage class.

triple attack? or do you mean the elemental ones like triple thunder & triple flame? i can see how these would be good for a red mage. There isn't an equivalent for physical attacks is there?

I wish, I wish, I was... able to at least find the location of those formulas in the ISO. Actually if I compared the original ISO to one that only had a formula change I could at least know where the pointers are. I think i may start looking into this.

I think Malak's and Rafa's skills can hit more than twice you can edit it to become only two, however I think it is only based on Faith.

Gah, if only either of them was the original faith based attack.  But alas, Rafa's does not use Faith and Malak's is the inverse of faith.

Btw, Triple Flame/Thunder uses basically the same formula as Truth. MA*MA/2 with modifications.
I changed jobs and that has made all the difference.

In which stronger Faith on both parties dealt more damage, unfortunately all the Multiple Hits formula lack this.
