The Status screen shows the characters' stats, as well as their skills. If they have Dragoon skills, then those will be shown as well.

On the top left is the characters portrait. This works as a guide to tell you which character it is, and you will learn these quite quickly. The stats by him are:

Name: The characters' name. This only effects you storywise.

Level: The current level of the character. This rises as you fight and gain EXP through battles.

D'Lvl: This is the characters' Dragoon level. The maximum is level 5, and can only be obtained if you have the appropriate Dragoon Spirit for each character. You start at level 1.

HP: The total health the character has, and the maximum. If you had 90/100 HP hee, you would have a maximum of 100 health, though you have 90 left.

MP: This will only rise if you have a Dragoon Spirit. It starts off at 20 once you get a Dragoon Spirit, but as you progress through battles gaining SP, it rises. At Dragoon Level 2, it goes to 40, at level 3 it goes to 60...At level 4 it goes to 80, and at level 5 it is at 100. There is items that allow your MP to go higher then 100, though the maximum MP for a character is 250 (which can be obtained by equipping an Amulet and a Magical Hat on the same character).

EXP: The Current EXP of the character, and the EP to the next level. If the number was 100/250, you would have 100 EXP, and would need 150 more to get to the next level.

The lower part of the status area is the Stat and Dragoon area.

Directly below the character pictures are the stats and Dragoon section. This section shows the spells of your Dragoon form, the characters stats, and the strength of each Dragoon Stat.

On the far left is the stats of the basic character. The far left stats are the characters stats without their equipment. The stats in the center line are the equipment bonus's the equipment gives to the character. The stats on the right of this section are the total stats. So if Dart had a base attack stats of 40, and his weapon gave him 15 attack, his total stat would be 55.

The Spells are on the far right, and depends on each character. These spells and their costs can be found in the Dragoon section of the guide. The percentage to the side on each stat means how much stronger the character is in Dragoon form. If the attack stat is at 170%, then a normal Dragoon attack will do 70% more damage then the physical attack of the character out of Dragoon form. If Defense is at 220%, then the character will take less then half damage from physical attacks. Below you can see a list of each stat and their meaning.

AT-Attack: This stat represents the strength of the characters physical attacks on an enemy.

DF-Defense: The higher this stat is, the less damage a physical attack from an enemy will do to the character.

MAT-Magic Attack: This stat shows the strength of a characters' magical attacks. The higher this point, the more damage the character will do with magical attacks.

MDF-Magical Defense: This stat shows how muchor little damage you take from magical attacks. The higher the number, the less damage you will take from magical attacks.

Speed: This stat is not improved as you gain levels. The higher this stats is, the faster you will go in battle, and the more turns you will take.

A-HIT-Attack Hit: The higher this stat is, the higher chance your character will hit with a physical attack. This stat does not increasewhen you gain a level, only through the equipment.

M-Hit-Magical Hit: The higher this stat is, the higher chance your character will hit with a magical attack. This stat does not increase when you gain a level, only through equipment.

A-AV-Attack Evasion: The higher this stat is, the lower the chance is of a physical attack hitting you. This stat does not increase as you gain levels, only through equipment.

M-AV: The higher this stat is, the lower the chance is of a magical attack hitting you. This stat does not increase as you gain levels, only through equipment.

Item
There are three commands from the items menu. Each have different uses. You can only have a maximum of 32 items in your inventory at a time.

Use: this selection allows you to use items in your inventory. Out of battle, you can only use restorative or healing items. Such items include, but are not limited to: Body Purifiers, Healing Breeze's, and Sun Rhapsodies.

Discard: Because of the maximum item limit for your inventory, you will need to discard items at times. This selection allows you to do such. Select the item you wish to discard, and then select 'yes'. This will permanently discard the item. Once you discard an item it is impossible to get it back.

List: this section shows the list of items that you have in your inventory. You can not use or discard items from this area. If you press the Triangle Button on this screen, you can sort through your items.

Armed
This command lets you change the equipment of the character of choice. Here, you will see the characters current equipment at the top of the screen, and there is a list in which you can scroll down on the bottom right. Not all charachters can use all weapons and armor.

The stats on the far left are the base stats, the stats in the center are the stats your current equipment gives you. The stats closet to the equipment list are the stats after improvements from the equipment.

Some weapons, while weak, have special status effects that they cause that may be more beinificial then just the sheer strength of a single weapon. Make sure to check things before equipping them, as stats do not mean everything.

Note that only one person can equip said item. If you only have one of each item in your inventory, only a single character can equip it.

Additions
This command allows you to select the additions for your party members. Not all members have additions, though most do. The list is at the bottom of the screen, as is the power. The strongest additions are not always the best, as you may need more SP. Your goal is to have a mix of the best SP and physical attack percentage.

Each addition has five levels, in which each time it levels up, the stats and the SP rise. The level rises after 20 complete uses of the said addition. To Select an addition for a character, bring the cursor over it, and press X. You can only have one addition equipped at a time.

Replace
You can only have three members in your battle party at a time. Every other character is 'waiting'. These members can be accessed at any time by pressing this button. Select the character you wish to leave your battle party, and then click on the character that you wish to join it. You can not switch Dart out of the party other than at select times.

Config
This command allows you to configure the way the game is played.

Vibrate: Dual Shock controllers have a vibration feature. If you want this option on or off, you should change this. Selecting 'yes' means it is on, and selecting 'no' turns the feature off.

Sound: Some televisions only have a MONO feature, while others have both Stereo and MONO. Stereo changes the sound between both speakers, while MONO keeps it equal through both. Stereo is usualy preferred.

Morph: This will allow you to shorten Dragoon Transformations. If you are sick of seeing the transformations, choose 'short' and the transformations will be much faster. Normal is what you see normally.

Save
This option allows you to save your game. You can only save your game at said save points. These include:

"The end of each chapter."
"The World Map."

"At light objects found in dungeons in which this guide refers to as a 'save point'."

You need one block of free space to save. Each save takes and additional block. This game only examines the Memory Card in Slot 1.
