There are three basic forms of attack; the Attack,
Heavy Attack and Extra Attack. Each attack can be executed by pressing the
corresponding X, A, or B button the attack is assigned to on the Action
Palette. Customize the set up of your Action Palette by assigning actions to
each space (see p. 24). To attack an enemy, position your character so that
they are facing the enemy and as soon as a sight cursor appears, press an
attack button. When your attack is successful, the number of damage points
inflicted will appear. But when you miss, the word “MISS” will appear in red.
If you can time three attacks just right you can achieve a successive chain attack that is
overall slightly faster and more accurate than executing each attack separately. This can be especially
effective when attacking enemies that are hard to hit because the third hit is more likely to find its mark.
Attack when the
cursor appears!
ATTACKS
There are a variety of different technique types that
can be used in different ways such as to attack enemies, for status recovery, to
teleport to the city, etc. Both techniques and their level ups are acquired via
Technique Discs found or purchased (see p. 13). Each technique requires a
certain level of experience to be used. Also, the effectiveness of each
technique increases the higher its level.
To use Attack Techniques, position your character towards an enemy with a
cursor displayed and press the corresponding button to which a technique is assigned. With Recovery
Techniques, essentially only the player using the technique is effected. However Recovery Techniques of a
certain level can effect other members within range when the technique is used.
TECHNIQUES
The colors of the controller buttons correspond to the colors of
the bands that surround each of the three Action Palette
spaces. Also, the color of the cursor that appears over an
enemy will change to indicate which button, if pressed, has the
most likely chance of landing an attack or technique attack.
