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.
- Higher steal rate than previous versions of the game (courtesy of Kay.)

Another possible hidden mechanic is the steal rate. I’ve been having much higher success stealing items than I have in previous versions of the game.
Thank you for sharing, Kay!
