Talk/Examine, Modes of Transportation

Talk/Examine

You can talk to other characters or examine objects by pressing the A Button. Speaking to others may sometimes yield valuable information.

Modes of Transportation

Walking is not the only way to move around on the overworld map.

Parties

During the course of your adventure, you will control a party composed of up to four members.

Changing Party Members

As you proceed through the game, you will eventually be able to choose which characters to include in your party. Talk to any ally who is not currently in your party to open the party formation screen shown on the right. Move the desired characters into the party window, and then press START to confirm your choice.
