Tips for Mastering Controls
  • Don't be afraid to experiment! The best way to learn is by doing. Try out different buttons when you're in a safe spot.
  • Pay attention to the on-screen prompts. The game often tells you exactly which button to press for specific actions.
  • Remember that some actions have timed button presses (Action Commands) during battle. Practice these to deal extra damage or defend better!
