There are random battles but they aren’t as frequent as most JRPGs, but they still exist. Since you mostly fight bosses you get globs of XP all the time, so just from bosses alone, you can get to level 40. The amount of grinding in the game is minimal. Once you level up enough you get enough SP that it won’t run out before a boss battle is over. You have to use Pure items to restore these points, but this only becomes an issue early in the game. When you run out characters go berserk and JRPG players know that is not a good thing. However, everybody has SP which are sanity points and deplete with each turn. This allows you to target a weakness on the fly. Yuri has the ability to switch between fusion forms which are elementals. This also makes the combat more engaging because you aren’t just flipping through menus. If you don’t focus and miss part of the ring you don’t attack. However, the ring system makes you solely responsible for whether or not attacks hit or miss. Each is different, some are weak to combos, special attacks only, and some are just weak to physical damage. They are very frequent but are the most fun in the game. This means your heavy hitter can also cast Raise Up without compromising anything.Ĭovenant is mainly comprised of boss battles. Some character just has more MP than others. Everyone can do it because you use magic crests which have different magic attacks that are both offensive and defensive. One thing I really like about this game is that you aren’t stuck with specific characters that only do magic. Use a four-player combo and you can do massive damage and special combo magic attacks. In Shadow Hearts, you can do combos with characters by watching your battle turns at the top. This ring is used for everything from items, special attacks, and magic. Once you get good you can increase the number of hit areas, but they become smaller. You can acquire expansions for these areas and you can customize your ring. You want to try to get it in the red which is a strike zone that does extra damage, but it can be hard because some characters’ strike zones are small 2 pixel slivers. Each character has different-sized hit areas and different amounts. Shadow Hearts uses a ring system where a needle spins around a ring and you press X when it falls in the yellow and red areas.
