The Tip Jar is a menu section in World of Final Fantasy that allows the player to view any tips and tutorials of gameplay mechanics, that the player has accrued in the game. Tips automatically appear on the screen when introduced for the first time on the player's save file, and can be read at any time from the "Tip Jar" section on the menu.

Get ready, it's battle time!
Characters take turns based on agility.
The faster a character, the sooner they get to act.

See that long, thin bar? Each face represents a different character. When a character's icon reaches the top of the bar, they can select the action to perform.

You can use [ / → ← ↑ ↓ Arrow Keys (PC) / Right Stick (Xbox One) / the Right Stick (Nintendo Switch) ] to switch between characters who are ready to act.

A target is chosen for you automatically, so you can speed through combat simply and easily with these shortcuts.

Abilities are assigned to buttons automatically in the order you learn them, but you can also customize your shortcuts via the game menu.

Find the setup that works best for you.

Battle Modes

Battle Modes 1/2

There three battle modes: Active, Semi-active, and Wait.

In Active Mode, time keeps flowing regardless of whether or not you input commands. Battles move quickly and without interruption.

2/2

In Wait Mode, time stops until you input a command for the character whose turn is up. This gives you a chance to carefully consider each action.
You can change your Battle Mode setting via the Config Menu.
If you find Active Mode too challenging, try sticking with Wait Mode until you have grown more accustomed to combat.
