6. PLAYER NOTES – Check Combo techniques and sudden techniques performed during battle.

This command is used to confirm the status of battles, including Combo Attacks during Party battles, and

any learned Weapon Arts, Spell Arts, and one-man Combo Attacks. From the Menu Screen, select

<Player Notes>. When the

≈ button is pressed, the following three windows can be accessed: Combos,

Custom Arts, and Arts List. Press the directional button to the LEFT/RIGHT to select a window, and press

the

≈ button to confirm.

Combos – See the Party Battle Combo History.

The Combos Window allows the player to see the Combo Attacks previously performed by the Party. Like the Equipped Arts

Window, the Combos Window has a line that separates the items into the top and bottom zones. When a powerful Combo Attack is

performed, it is recommended that the Weapon or Spell Art be moved to the top zone. To do this, first bring up the Combos

Window and press the

≈ button to display the cursor. Next, set the cursor next to the Art to be moved and press the ≈ button

again. Finally, move the cursor to a desired zone (either ‘top’ or ‘bottom’) and press the

≈ button once more to execute the

move. After selecting the Combo technique and pressing the

≈ button, pressing the ≈ button again brings up the following three

commands: <Send to COMBO Pocket>, <Forget Combos>, and <Return>. Selecting <Send to COMBO Pocket> and pressing the

≈ button transfers the data to the PocketStation personal game unit (see page 26). If <Forget Combos> is selected, the data will

be deleted from the listing.

NOTE: It is possible to move the line in the Combos Window by pressing the directional button UP/DOWN while holding down the

≈ button.

THE MENU SCREEN

5. BATTLE STYLE – The player may voluntarily determine the settings during battle.

This command switches allies or Party order so that battles involving the entire Party can be used in the

most advantageous manner possible. From the Menu Screen, select <Battle Style>. When the

≈ button

is pressed, the cursor will move to the following three settings: <Member Change>, <Action Order>,

and <Role>. First, select the setting by pressing the directional button to the LEFT/RIGHT, and then press

the

≈ button. Next, follow the instructions below corresponding to the setting selected.

The Role setting is a determining factor in the Main Party battle patterns.

• Member Change – Switch battle members

Main Party members are displayed on the top half of the screen, and Sub Party members are on the bottom half. To switch battle

members, move the cursor to the character to be removed from the Main Party and press the

≈ button. Next, move the cursor to

a character in the Sub Party section to take his or her place. Once the selection has been made, press the

≈ button again to

complete the switching process.

• Action Order – Determine the order of action

Order refers to the characters’ fighting sequence during battle. Set the cursor to the character who will take action first, and press

the

≈ button to register the information. Continue in the same manner to register the other characters and to set the order of

action. After setting the order, the Confirmation Screen will appear. Move the cursor to <Yes>, and press the

≈ button to execute

the order change. Note, however, that it is not necessary to set the order for all the characters. Since the order of action affects

the recovery rate and Combo systems, it should be thoroughly planned. Depending on the parameters of the characters, the order

of action will automatically be determined by “Fastest.” In order to move the game forward in the quickest manner, set the order

in advance.

• Role – Division of Character Roles

Role refers to the duties of the characters during battle. If new members join, the number of Roles will increase. By distributing

these Roles among the characters, the player will be able to create a unique Party. To assign a Role to a character, first select a

character with the directional button, and press the

≈ button. Upon doing so, the Select Menu will appear displaying a list of

possible Roles to select from. From this list, choose a Role for the selected character and press the

≈ button.

NOTE: Two or more characters cannot be assigned the same Role (except for “Solo Action").

EXAMPLES OF ROLES

Here are examples of different Roles and their characteristics. The “Solo Action” Role

takes place by the player’s choice. The rate of acquiring new techniques will increase,

but the Combo rate will decrease.
