15 Final Fantasy Resonance beginner's tips to help you protect the crystals

Final Fantasy Resonance offers a familiar turn-based combat system, but it also has many hidden gems for beginners to discover. To make the most of your gameplay, follow these 15 tips. First, Rain is the ultimate tank for your party, capable of delivering strong damage and protecting others from attacks. Don't overlook Lid's potential to stagger enemies with her Mechabo once upgraded.

Take your time exploring new areas, chests, and glowing spots, as you'll find valuable equipment that's cheaper than buying it from shops. When your party is undergeared, head to the nearest shop to upgrade your characters' equipment. Navigating the world map can be slow, so use the destination list to help you find locations quickly.

Side quests are abundant, so prioritize them based on rewards and character benefits. Visions can greatly enhance your characters' abilities, so make sure to rank up the ones granting double-action skills, like Firion's Arms Akimbo or Squall's Double Action. Understanding each character's strengths will help you equip the right mastery bonus skills, such as Rain's Restore MP when Taking Damage and Fill LB when Taking Damage.

Don't shy away from using status ailments like poison or slow on enemies to gain an advantage. If you need to adjust your strategy during a fight, pause the game and reload your last save to ensure a better outcome.
