The party leader being incapacitated spells Game Over, but the player will simply appear at the point on the field right before they initiated the fight, and they may either reattempt the battle or leave it. Players can’t set the party or the party leader until later into the game, but diversity is brought in via the Paradigm Shift system. Some enemies may fight each other, and interacting with them initiates a three-way battle. Shrouds can be used to move about the field without triggering enemy encounters and to bestow the party with buffs before the battle’s start. Treasure chests can’t be opened near a monster, and there are several instances enemies are “guarding” treasures and must be banished to collect the loot. Enemies will appear on the map, and battles initiate when coming into contact with them.

Players can jump, but only at specific jump spots marked on the map.

Other party members being far away from the leader does not affect their participation in battles that take place in a separate module. Players can move around the field map while controlling the party leader, the other members moving independently, sometimes running ahead, engaging in dialogue, or stopping to look at objects on the field and pointing things of interest out to the party leader. The game’s progression is chapter-based, and in most chapters, the player will see the story through different characters’ views. The five come into contact with the Pulse fal’Cie, Anima, and are branded l’Cie, seemingly with the Focus to destroy Cocoon. Also caught up in the Purge are Snow Villiers, Serah’s fiance and leader of the anti-authority group, NORA, and the civilians Hope Estheim and Oerba Dia Vanille. The Sanctum government authorizes a Purge of citizens who may have come in contact with the fal’Cie, and Lightning meets up with the pilot Sazh Katzroy on her way to find Serah amid the Purge.

Lightning, a member of the Guardian Corps military forces, goes rogue when her sister Serah is branded a l’Cie by a fal’Cie from Gran Pulse, designating her an enemy of Cocoon.
