This system resembles how stat growth worked in Final Fantasy VI, but is instead mostly hidden from the player. The equipment pieces that have a stat-boosting trait give incremental bonuses when the wearer gains a level, who attain permanent stat growth over multiple level ups depending on the number of times they gained a "level up bonus" from gear for particular stats. Equipping both element-halving and element-weak equipment together results in damage being roughly 75% of its normal value.Ĭertain equipment pieces affect the wearer's stat growth when they level up wearing said equipment piece. The only way to see the equipment gives a weakness is to use Scan on the wearer mid- battle.
Each character can equip one add-on at a time.
Add-ons are not purchasable in shops, but found or crafted in synthesis shops. Add-ons have various effects, such as allowing the absorption of certain elements or raising certain stats. An add-on ( アクセサリ, Akusesarī ?) is an equipment type similar to accessories in Final Fantasy IX.
