Coup de Grâces (French for Blow of Grace or Blow of Mercy) are powerful attacks that vary depending on the vocation. For example, a Warrior's is Critical Claim, a Paladin's is Knight Watch, etc. A Coup de Grâce is not available at the start of battle. When you can use your Coup de Grâce, it notifies you by saying:
[party member] is primed to perform a coup de grâce!
If the battle is over before you can use the coup de grâce (the monster is defeated, fled, or all party members are defeated), or the party member primed to use the coup de grâce dies or does not use the Coup de Grâce within a number of turns, then the coup de grâce is lost.
If all four party members are primed for a Coup de Grâce, then they can perform a Co-op de Grâce.
