If you're playing FF2/4j on the SNES, in English, then you're playing the moron version. Square removed a bunch of commmands and items, and lowered the difficulty, so we stupid Americans wouldn't get all confused.
Cecil may never use Dark Wave, but the dark knight that you fight before becoming a paladin does. That is probably where all the confusion is coming from. The only good trick that that dark knight Cecil can do is nothing you do intentionally. When wearing the full Black gear you can instantly kill many monsters.
