| Items are a very important part of the game,
and become very useful tools in battle. Items can be used to
restore lost HP or MP to increase character stats permanently
or temporarily, to cause damage to opponents, and even to assist
you in the plot. The items are divided into two main categories:
Regular Items and Key Items. Regular items in the game are the
items that you can use freely, when ever you want, these include
defensive, offensive, field and Chocobo. Defensive are the items
that restore a character's HP or MP, or increases their defensive
stats temporarily. Offensive items do damage to enemies in battle,
by taking away your opponents health, magic, or temporarily
causing status changes. They can also increase character attack
stats temporarily. Menu or Field items are items that are used
in the story, or increase character stats permanently. Finally,
Chocobo items are those which assist you in catching them. Key
items are items that cannot be used freely like the regular
items. They are usually items that you receive at key points
of the game that trigger an event that allows you to venture
further into the game. However some of the Key Items can be
completely pointless, and are only there as memorabilia |
