BATTLE COMMANDS

This section provides a basic explanation of the commands available in battle.

Attack

This command makes a character attack the selected target with his or her fists or currently equipped weapon.

Special Commands

There are several character-specific battle commands, such as Locke's “Steal" and Edgar's “Tools." Some of these commands work in unique ways (see pp. 36-37).

Skipping Turns

You can skip a character's turn without entering a command by pressing SELECT. Control will shift to the next character with a full ATB gauge.

Magic

This command allows a character to use MP to cast spells that he or she knows. Select a spell from the list, and then choose the target.

Selecting Multiple Targets

Some spells can be cast on your entire party or the entire enemy party. Press the L or R Button to toggle between single-target and whole-party selection.

Items

This command allows a character to use items from the party's inventory. Select an item from the list, and then choose the target.

Changing Equipment

Pressing +Control Pad Up when the cursor is at the top row of the item list will open a window showing the items equipped to each of the character's hands. You can swap these items for different pieces of equipment by selecting one with the A Button and then selecting a different item from the item list.
