Use[]

Escape can be cast by characters with the Exit Materia at level 1. Casting it will instantly end the battle with no reward provided afterward. This spell is used to escape from a battle intact, and can be used whenever a battle is looking too difficult to overcome. It has an MP cost of 16, which is relatively low.

If used during Battle Square battles, the player can keep their accumulated BP, which they are unable to do when escaping from Battle Square with the regular Escape command. If used through Final Attack when all of the party is already dead, the player is unable to escape.
