Command Menu
In the town and wilderness areas, press ( for Classic Controller) to display the Command Menu. Here you can select from the following:

ITEM
Use, exchange or discard you or your party's items. First choose the character that possesses the item. Next choose the item from their inventory. Then choose USE to use the item, GIV to give it to another character, or TOS to discard. In the case of GIV (and in some instances USE), you will need to specify a target character.

Up to 16 items can be held in the inventory. Equipped items are marked with the letter E (see EQP).

STATE
Check simplified character status levels and reorganize your party.

STATE: See a quick reading of each character's HP (Hit Points), TP (Technique Points), Level and the party's Meseta.

ORDER: Change the order of your party. Characters near the top stand a greater chance of being attacked, so weaker players with lower HP should be placed at the bottom.

TECH
Make use of your party's techniques. First choose the character whose Technique you wish to use. Next choose the Technique from those available. Some Techniques such as REV (revive) types will then require you to select a target character who will receive the effects of the Technique. If the character has sufficient TP, the Technique will then be performed and the allotted number of TP will be consumed.

STRNG
Select a character to see a full rundown of their current parameters.

EQP
Equip or unequip weapons and armor, etc. for each character. Select a character to modify, and their inventory and the status of each body part will be displayed. Next select an unequipped item to equip, or an equipped item to unequip. If an item is already equipped for the selected body part, then the old item will be unequipped automatically.

HEAD: Protective headgear or ribbons can be worn.

RGHT: A weapon or shield can be held by the right hand. Note that some weapons require two hands.

LEFT: A weapon or shield can be held by the left hand.

BODY: Protective coats, capes and vests can be worn.

LEGS: Boots, shoes and sandals can be worn.

Depending on the combination of weapons and armor, the character's AGILITY, ATTACK and DEFENSE will vary. Notice the player's status displayed in the lower right of the screen. Keep in mind also that not all items can be equipped by all characters.
