Beast point

Beast points are a feature of Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode -Final Fantasy VII-. Mako points are blue circles on the ground. Stepping on them transforms Vincent into his Galian Beast form.

In the Japanese version beast points are called "mako points", just like the points with the same appearance in Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-. In the original Japanese release of Dirge of Cerberus transforming to the Galian Beast cost MP rather than having to use an item which later versions introduced. Therefore mako points would help toward allowing Vincent to transform in that version, unlike in the English release. Therefore it is likely it was renamed in the English release of Lost Episode to not break continuity with the English release, leaving mako and transforming unrelated.
