01 / THE GUIDE
Character Comparison
Play a short segment with Ryza, then repeat the same segment with Lila. Note differences in dialogue triggers and map access to understand each character’s narrative contribution.
- Try swapping between Ryza and Lila to compare how each character navigates the new map.
- Observe how the side story’s objectives differ from the main plot for varied pacing.
02 / THE GUIDE
Combat Parameter Testing
In Custom Combat, set monster level to low and speed to fast. Record how your party’s reaction time changes, then raise the level and observe the impact on skill effectiveness.
- Use lower monster levels to practice new skill combos safely.
- Increase battle speed to train quick decision‑making.

Fi Utility Evaluation
Activate Fi during a long trek and compare the number of healing items used versus a trek without Fi. This highlights Fi’s automatic HP restoration benefit.
- Keep Fi active when traversing large outdoor areas to benefit from the expanded sensor range.
- Rely on Fi’s post‑combat healing to conserve healing items for boss fights.

Increase basket capacity to its maximum, then gather resources in a single area. Assess how the larger capacity reduces back‑and‑forth trips to storage.
- Increase basket capacity early to avoid frequent inventory trips.
- Experiment with the new graphic options to find a comfortable visual style.
