The UI provides vital information during exploration and combat. On the field, you'll see a mini-map in the corner, your current party leader, and sometimes a compass. In battle, the UI becomes more complex: you'll see character portraits with HP/TP bars, a battle log, and a command window for your controlled character. The main menu, accessed via the Square button, is where you manage your party, equipment, items, Tech Arts, and save your game. Pay close attention to character stats, elemental resistances, and item descriptions. The 'Status' screen provides detailed information about each character's current abilities and equipped gear, which is essential for optimizing your party.
