Tips
  • General Notes: Save frequently, be mindful of memory card usage, and get used to the slow text scrolling. Inventory is auto-sorted. Selling price is 20%. Item Creation is covered when it becomes available in Peterny.
  • Combat: Do not rely solely on Fayt; control other characters. Attack and Defense skills affect AI behavior, not stats. Private Actions (PAs) are present and noted in the walkthrough.
  • Essential Optimizations: Utilize Cancel Chains, learn effective waza (Air Raid, Mirror Slice, Infinity Kick, Kaboom, Raging Helmet, Hand of Doom), use quick cancel fodder, and learn to delay chains to avoid wasted hits on downed enemies. Avoid indiscriminate use of elemental weapons/skills.
  • PS4 Emulation Notes: Be aware of potential crashing, especially when changing map size. Save often. Some visual effects may not be emulated correctly (e.g., enemy aura for unblockables). The PAL version allows for skip-canceling and has a correct aspect ratio.
  • Exploration: Examine objects in towns for flavor text and potential references to previous tri-Ace games.
