Battle Enhancements or Extra Features Mechanics

Speed Boost

Speed Boost increases movement speed and how quickly battles progress.

Battle Boost

The current party’s HP and MP will be immediately filled with a press of the Right Stick.
The Limit Break meter is also maxed when the Right Stick Button is hard pressed as well.

No Enemy Encounters

Activating No Encounters enables you to completely avoid random enemy battles. However, it does not affect story-related enemy battles and boss battles.

Hidden Mechanics

We observed that the Limit Break build-up in battles is much faster than previous versions of the game.
