Menu (Adventure)

The following entails the contents of the main menus of Final Fantasy Adventure. There are three types of menu screens. The screen shown below the world screen, the screen the player open with the Start button, and the screen the player open with the Select button.

World Screen
Beneath the World Screen, a smaller screen is visible at all times, as in the picture. The player should always keep an eye on this screen even during battle. Should the player's HP run low, an unexpected blow may be fatal and end the game unless they heal themselves quickly with an item or magic spell. Also remember that an especially powerful attack is possible when the gauge at the bottom of the screen read Max.


 * HP: The HP figure shows how much life Sumo has at the moment. Game over when his HP drops to 0.
 * MP: The MP indicates how much magic power Sumo has. When his MP drops to 0, no magic can be used.
 * Attack Gauge: When this gauge reads full, Sumo can use Max Attack.
 * G: G is short for GP which is the monetary unit in this world.

Item
All items currently in the player's possession will be displayed on the screen. The player can change, and discard items on this screen. The player can have up to 16 items in their inventory.

Magic
All the magic spells the player currently own will be displayed on a screen. The player can use magic only if they have sufficient MPs, or put the spell back using the Item screen. Note that the player can only equip themselves with either an item or magic, not both.

The weapon or armor the player are currently equipped with, and their attack and defense powers will be displayed on the screen. At the same time, a screen showing all the weapon and armor the player currently own appears. The player can have up to 12 of either weapons and/or armor in their inventory.
