List of Contents
What Happens When You Die?
- Restart From Your Latest Save
- Go Back to the Last Place You Visited
- Resume From Last Autosave
- Retry the Battle
Restart From Your Latest Save
Choosing this option returns your party to your most recent manual save. You’ll keep all items and experience gained up to that point, but any progress made after the save will be lost. This is the safest choice if you want to fully reset after a tough battle.
Go Back to the Last Place You Visited
This option places your party at the last location you visited before the battle, costing half your held gold. It’s useful if you want to continue exploring without reloading your full save, but plan accordingly since you’ll lose some money.
Resume From Last Autosave
Resuming from an autosave allows your party to continue from a point the game automatically saved, which may be more recent than your last manual save.
Keep in mind that autosaves may occur before or after certain battles, so check your progress to avoid losing significant achievements.
Retry the Battle
You can also retry the battle immediately from the death screen, but this costs half your held gold. This is ideal if you want to attempt the fight again without traveling, but you’ll need to consider the monetary penalty.
How to Prevent A Wipe Out
- Turn Off Tactics During Major Battles
- Defend Accordingly
- Use All Outs Wisely
- Equip the Best Equipment Available
- Heal Constantly
- Retreat if the Battle is Unsafe
Turn Off Tactics During Major Battles
Tactics are the auto-battle commands. While convenient, leaving them on during difficult encounters can lead to poor decision-making by AI-controlled characters.
Turn off Tactics to manually control your party and respond to enemy actions more effectively.
Defend Accordingly
Pay attention to enemy actions since the game will often indicate when an enemy is charging a powerful attack. Use the Defend command during these turns to reduce damage and protect your party from lethal hits.
Use Let Loose Wisely
Once worked up, you will be able to choose if you want your character to Let Loose, and perform a special ability. These abilities vary depending on your character’s vocation. They can deal massive damage, buff allies, or heal, but should be used strategically.
Avoid picking Let Loose if you don’t have enough MP or if the timing won’t maximize their benefit.
Equip the Best Equipment Available
Always make sure your party has the best available weapons, armor, and accessories before entering challenging battles. Proper equipment can dramatically reduce damage taken and improve survivability.
Heal Constantly
Monitor your party’s health closely and heal before it’s critical. Even if HP seems high, anticipate upcoming enemy attacks and heal as necessary to avoid sudden deaths.
Retreat if the Battle is Unsafe
If a fight looks unwinnable, retreating can save your party. Standard escape has a chance to fail, but using a Chimaera Wing guarantees escape, though it cannot be used in boss fights. Choosing to retreat early can prevent losing gold and experience.
