Available Difficulty Levels & How to Change
Whatever difficulty setting you choose will affect the combat in your game. This includes how much stronger your enemies will be and their placements during fights.
Different Difficulty Settings
Normal
Normal is recommended for new players or to those who would rather focus on progressing the story. It's the basic of the difficulty settings.
Hard
Hard amps up the difficulty when it comes to combat. This is recommended for more experienced players or to those who are familiar with the series combat mechanics.
How to Adjust Difficulties
At the Start of a New Game
Upon starting a new game, you'll be prompted to choose your difficulty before the first cutscene.
Anytime in the Game
Players are free to change their difficulty anytime during their playthrough. However, it can only be done to lower difficulty. Raising the difficulty will require you to start a new game.
Available Modes and How to Change
Modes will dictate whether characters in the game will die or not when they lose in battle. Death is permanent and cannot be reversed so choose your mode carefully.
