- A maximum of five characters can participate in battle. Three characters are positioned in the front, while two are in the back.
- The characters in the back can assist when the characters in the front satisfy certain conditions. HP and MP will gradually recover when positioned in the back.
- “Interrupt” is a system that allows alchemists to use items at any time, regardless of turn, by building up a gauge. The items you use through Interrupt do not disappear.
