Field notes
Combat turns waiting or defending into a resource: each action fills the Wind Gauge, which can be spent at once or saved for a burst of up to five segments. Three party members fight while three remain on deck, and the page says players can swap them even mid-sequence. The team reports about 2,000 July playtesters and describes shortening basic attacks by a third; it also lists text scaling up to 150 percent and an option to disable camera shake.
