[The view cycles through the status screens of multiple units.]

Now I'll explain the commands on the formation screen. On the detailed status screen, the formation menu appears by pushing △ button.

[The formation menu appears.]

Here is the formation menu.

[A red circle appears around the 'Item' option.]

'Item' lets you equip and arrange items you have.

'Ability' lets you learn and set new Abilities for the next battle.

[A red circle appears around the 'Change Job' option.]

You'll get various Jobs by gaining experience. When changing Jobs, consider your allies' roles for the next battle.

[A red circle appears around the 'Remove Unit' option.]

Cut off monsters and bad soldiers with 'Remove unit'.

[The screen changes to show various different ways in which units may be ordered.]

For battle prepartion, 'Item' and 'Ability' are best. You need to fully understand the various parameters of the status. Next, I'll show you what each parameter means, how to equip... how to learn Abilities and what you need to use the Abilities.

[Various menus close, returning the view to the party formation screen.]

Face battles fully prepared and you should be able to win. Remember the situations, know yourself and learn the proper preparation method. That's all for today.
