Condition Window
If you stand still momentarily, the Condition Window pops up on the left side of the Game Screen. In this window you will find, only for the lead character in your party, the current conditions listed for the following: Watch your Vitality Points carefully. The VP indicates how much damage you can take. The Level rises with increases in Experience.

Command Window
By pushing, the Command Window opens up. The Command Window and its options are used to perform actions. Within the Command Window are most of the commands you will use during the game. It is here that you choose to speak to a man in a shop, use an item, search an area, or view your status.

Battle Screen
Throughout your quest, you will encounter an enemy or groups of enemies from time to time. When monsters appear, the Battle Screen will pop up. At this point you have a couple of choices, and those choices depend on the character whose command you are currently inputting. When choosing a course of action, you should take into account your HP and the strength of the enemy.

Initially, you are presented with one menu that contains three options.

If you select Fight, and you are in manual battle mode, a second menu with a set of commands will appear. You must select one command and one target for each member of your party.

Strength Window
The status of your Strength, Experience Level, and other characteristics appear when you activate the Strength Screen. The numbers increase as you defeat monsters, gain experience points and raise your overall level.

The type of weapon, armor and shield that you carry will affect your Attack Power and Defense Power. The Soldier's Sword, for instance, will give you an Attack Power higher than the Spear.
