Crystalis/Gameplay

Experience
To progress through the game, you need to kill monsters to collect experience. All bosses within the game have a minimum level requirement to damage.

You start with 48 HP, 34 MP, and your Attack and Defense at 1 each. For each level, you gain 16 HP and (except at level 2) 17MP until each one maxes out at 255. You also gain one point in natural Attack and Defense (both stats are augmented depending on your equipment).

In the GBA remake, the level requirement is removed, but attacking below the recommended level may be difficult.
