Continual attacks also raise a character's fatigue level, which when maxed out will prevent them from moving for several turns. Successful attacks begin a combination, which increase a character's experience point (EXP) reward. When the Branch counter is depleted, the battle ends, and if the enemy unit is defeated they disappear from the map. Each unit's attack number is dictated by a counter labelled "Branch". Timed button presses trigger different attacks. When units engage in battle, the game transitions into a horizontal view. Playable characters appear in both pairs and as solo units, with different characters specialising in short or long-range attacks based on their abilities in their native series. Movement distance varies between characters, with some walking or flying and others being able to pass over obstacles. Any character with ten AP can move and perform actions, with AP being recovered by doing little or nothing for each turn. The game's turn-based battles play out in a grid-based arena from an overhead perspective each unit on both sides has their turn placed according to their current AP. Ĭharacter moves and actions are dictated by Ability Points (AP), of which a set amount is assigned to each character at the beginning of a battle. They can also purchase items for healing or character boosts at shops using currency won during battles and through a gambling minigame activated between certain story chapters. In addition to normal story missions, the player can engage in training levels using training dummies to practice moves.
These levels are split between story segments told through character interactions and gameplay where party members face off against enemy parties, with victory conditions which include clearing the field of enemies. Gameplay is divided into levels, which are unlocked as the player progresses through the narrative.
