It just kind of throws you into it and I am figuring it out, but I want to make sure Im not missing some important mechanics. I can look up a guide, but wanted to know if I needed to or if the game would help me out, or maybe this is a game that expects me to read the manual?
That's the combo system, correct?
Someone with a better memory than I possess should answer this, but I believe if you have several characters cast specific spells sequentially they will combine into a super spell. Thus, it's a bit more complicated than the combo spells used in
Chrono Trigger, where they are chosen from a menu. Also, I found that I had to utilize these combo spells quite a bit to get through
PSIV, as opposed to
Chrono Trigger where they felt completely optional.
Here's a list of 'em:
