                         [AI-2] Introductory Notes

                       -----------------------------

This guide covers the various A.I. options available in the game. The A.I., or
"tactics" applied to a character govern a general pattern that a character will
act upon on the battlefield. Although it is possible to place actions on a
character, it won't give them the ability to do that particular option if it is
not within their ability.

For example, placing the order to steal items or search for Gald on a character
that does have the "Rob a Item" and/or "Search Gald" skills does not cause them
to learn those abilities. They will simply ignore those commands.

Similarly, you cannot use the Hiougi options on a character that does not ever
obtain a Hiougi, nor will you be able to make use of it effectively with a
character that isn't level 45 or higher (the level at which characters that do
obtain a Hiougi get it).

The order in which you place the tactics is also important. The option placed
at position I (1) will have the greatest influence on the character's actions,
while an option placed at position V (5) will have the least influence and will
thus be the least often performed.

AI Options can be purchased with GP at the Grade Shop (the conveyor belt).

                           [AI-4] AI Categories

                       -----------------------------

AI categories are very basic generalizations of how a character will act. These
categories can be further specialized by adding AI options in the list. The
second option (全力戦闘) is, I believe, required in order for one of the AI
options to work.

自由戦闘    Do what you want to
全力戦闘    Expend TP regardless of how much is available
近接戦闘    Always attack the closest enemy
後方戦闘    Always attack the furthest enemy
支援戦闘    Balance support and cover attacks
防衛戦闘    Focus on defense
節約戦闘    Don't use TP

                              Initial Options

                       -----------------------------

The game starts players off with a pretty basic set of AI options. Despite
being basic, it's really all most players should need for most of the game. The
only options that you may really want to look into at the Grade Shop are the
ones regarding Hiougi usage as without them, characters controlled by the AI
will never execute them (the player is required to use them manually, which is
impossible to do during full Auto battles).

                            [AI-8] Tips & Hints

                       -----------------------------

Q. Which options should I get by the end of the game?

A. In my opinion, definitely 秘奥義は積極的に and/or
秘奥義は消極的に (i.e. the ones that control Hiougi usage).
消極的な行動で and 弱った時は待機 may be useful. The rest of the
options are pretty useless. Most characters with curative abilities will
actually use them if necessary. The item tactics are all useless, since you can
manually order characters to use items when you actually need them. Plus, you
may not want characters spamming items (especially when you're fighting
Barbatos).



Q. Between 秘奥義は積極的に and 秘奥義は消極的に, which is
better?

A. It really depends on what you're looking for in a battle.

秘奥義は積極的に will generally cause characters to use their Hiougi
right away (unless you prioritize other options before it, but that tends to
cause characters to not use their Hiougi in the end), which can be good,
especially during a fight against a really powerful boss. However, on the flip
side, you generally don't want characters spamming Hiougis on peons that you
could have one-shot.

秘奥義は消極的に, as far as I'm aware, only seems to work with the
全力戦闘 AI category. I haven't witnessed a character use their Hiougi with
the option in any other category yet. The difference between this option and
the previous is that characters will wait until they feel that there is
actually a need to use their Hiougi (e.g. if a character is low on HP). This
is better for regular battles, because if you're using a powerful team and want
to save your Overlimit for an upcoming boss, chances are characters will try to
do what they can before considering to use their Hiougi.

So in the end, I'm tempted to say that 秘奥義は消極的に is ultimately
better, but only if used in the 全力戦闘 AI category.



Q. You said that order is important. What type of things should I watch out
for?

A. For front-line characters, it appears to be the case that you have to tell
them to concentrate on attacking before you can tell them to use skills.
Putting skill usage before the "Concentrate on attacking" option seems to
cause them to sit and wait, like they're confused as to what they should be
doing.

As mentioned before, placing the Hiougi options under "Concentrate on
attacking" or one of the skill options seems to cause them to focus more on
attacking with regular attacks and skills and can often cause them to run
through a whole Overlimit bar without executing it.

Similarly, options like "Disrupt enemies that are casting" tend to get ignored
if you have a lot of attacking options prioritized before it.
