Battles use an isometric, turn-based system where action order depends on unit speed. Players move characters across grid maps, choose attacks, spells, items, and abilities, and use elevation, facing, and positioning to gain an edge. Experience and job points earned in combat unlock and combine many classes, driving both party growth and story progression.

Build a party with steady healing and support early on, and do not neglect item usage. Take advantage of terrain height and turn order before advancing. Focus job points on essential passive skills such as movement, speed, or counter abilities. Before boss fights, grind a bit in regular encounters to secure reliable recovery options and stronger class setups.
