This is also where you will be able to spend Job Points once you begin leveling. They will restore your HP/MP, and refill your Potions. So, if you fall in battle, you will be taken back to the last Cube you were at. Cubes like these act as checkpoints in the game. Once you begin the level, you will see a Cube in front of you.

Just know that if you are starting below the Mission Level, it will be easier for enemies to break your Break Gauge, and harder for you to break theirs (until you upgrade what you have).

You don’t have to worry about this too much, as you will find equipment of the appropriate level inside the mission itself. Note on the Mission Level: You will notice that every mission has a ‘Mission Level’ - this is what the game recommends your Average Equipment Level to be for that mission. When you’re ready to begin your first mission, go to the Chaos Shrine and begin the ‘Illusion at Journey’s End’ mission. As you unlock new weapon types throughout the game, this area will also unlock new tutorials for these new weapons. These tutorials will help you gain a better understanding of the unique fighting style of each weapon, as well as learn about some of that weapon’s basic combos. When you’re on the World Map, you can go to the area marked ‘?’, and press or to find tutorials on the current weapon types you have: Greatsword, Daggers, and Knuckles. You will also have the option to go to the Smithy in the main menu, which is where you will dismantle and upgrade your gear, and talk to citizens of Cornelia (though talking to them serves no purpose). This is where you will pick your missions to tackle in the game.

After a cutscene, you will be taken to the World Map. Talk to anyone there, if you would like to. Once you regain control, you will be inside the castle of Cornelia. Interact with it to either redo any step of the tutorial, or leave this area and continue. Once you finished the five parts of the tutorial, you will see a large blue portal. You cannot die here either, so take your time to understand each step of the tutorial, as they will all help you with battles in the game.Īll of these mechanics are described in more detail in our Beginner’s Guide to Combat - we have something for you whether you are still struggling to understand the basics, or would like to hear some tips about using these various mechanics together in battle.

Once you’ve regain control, you will be in the full tutorial for the game’s combat system. Once you depleted her HP or Break Gauge (the yellow bar under her health), press to finish her off and you will be taken into a cutscene. You cannot die here, so simply keep attacking Tiamat and get a feel for the controls. Once you gain control, you will find yourself in a battle against Tiamat, and the screen will have tutorial text showing you how to attack, Guard, and Evade. You are able to change your difficulty at any time in the World Map or while interacting with a Cube (you cannot raise the difficulty at Cubes, however), so if the game starts to feel too easy or too hard, know that you can change it to give yourself a better experience.

If you die again before claiming it, the vestige will disappear.

However, if you lost enough MP, the lost MP will stay as a vestige at the spot where you died, which you will be able to pick up to restore it (in a boss room you will get it automatically).

If you die with the Hard mode on, your Max MP will return to its initial value (it normally just decreases from what it was before you died).

If you choose Hard difficulty, there will be an extra gameplay mechanic:.

This includes decreasing Break Gauge consumption, allowing you to keep your Max MP if you die, allowing fallen allies to revive automatically, and allowing unblockable attacks to be blocked.

If you choose Story, you can enable Casual Mode, which adds a few extra things to make the game even easier:.

There are a few things to note about the difficulties: The difficulty you choose will determine how tough the enemies will be, what your mission rewards will be, and the quality of your equipment. Before the game begins, you will be asked to select one of the three available difficulties: Story (easy), Action (normal), or Hard.
