ORGANIZATION VI: MONSTER ALLIES




[The tutorial begins on the party formation screen.]

INSTRUCTOR DARAVON: The topic is 'Monsters'. In battle, you can have monsters like Chocobo for allies. Monsters are handled just like human units, but have different features.

[A chocobo unit is selected.]

First of all, Monsters can't equip Items.

[The items menu is selected, and Equip, Best, and Remove are grayed out. A red circle highlights this.]

Since they can't equip Items they can't increase attacking power, evade % or HP. Monsters also don't have any Abilities. Monsters can't learn new skills either.

[The chocobo's abilities menu is selcted.]

The number of act commands depends on the monster. Normally they have from 1-3 in the beginning. However, if a unit that has 'Monster Trainer' set as Support Ability is nearby... one command is added. That's the only way their commands will increase. Monsters also can't have Jobs.

[The chocobo's job menu is selected, and the viewer is greeted with the text 'Can't change.']

Since monsters can't have Jobs, there are no Job Changes for them either. Monsters aren't trained like human units to learn skills, they're born with special features. 'Counter' as a Reaction is one example. Some Monsters can't move in water, others fly and move their own special way. Human units can ride Chocobos. When you ride Chocobos, mobility increases with the Chocobo's moving skill. As I said, Monsters have different features than humans. Make allies of them and use them to the fullest extent.

[The view returns to the party formation screen.]

Monsters sometimes lay eggs and have babies. Eventually they mature, adding a new Monster to your party. Your party may get too full if they join. Go ahead and remove them if that happens.

[The chocobo unit that was previously being examined is dismissed.]

You never know which Monster's joining until they hatch. For example, you can get a Black Chocobo from a normal Chocobo. You may come across a Monster you've never seen before. There are a couple of different kinds. So, play with them! That's it for Monsters. Monsters don't grow like humans. But I'm sure they'll become a great asset to your party. That's all.
