Stamina (gameplay mechanic)

Stamina, also known as energy or SP, is a recurring gameplay element in the Final Fantasy series. 
==Overview==
A function of free-to-play mobile titles, stamina acts as a control on the player, in theory limiting the extent of play before microtransactions are required to continue play. Where stamina appears, it can be regenerated; however, the regeneration process is a function of time, which increases as the player becomes more proficient.
As of each game's most recent updates, it is possible to restore and overflow stamina using items acquired during play or purchased from a shop.
==Appearances==
===Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia===
Used only in the World of Illusions, SP are given equal to the player's current rank, presently not to exceed 200. These are spent according to the quest's difficulty, and regenerate at one point per three minutes of real time. If SP are depleted below a quest's minimum cost, a Stamina Potion can fully restore them.
===Final Fantasy Record Keeper===
The player begins with 30 points of Stamina to spend in any battle they wish to fight, paying an indicated cost per battle and increasing it by collecting the Stamina Shards found in the Realm Dungeons. Collecting five (5) Stamina Shards increases maximum Stamina by one (1) point, overflowing it if necessary. Spent Stamina regenerates at one (1) point per three minutes of real time, If Stamina is depleted below the cost of a battle, players can restore it by purchasing a refill for 100 Gems or one Mythril; or, they may purchase and carry up to five (5) Stamina Potions to restore 100 Stamina immediately through Fat Chocobo's Gysahl Exchange. A purchased refill can overflow the gauge, but a Stamina Potion cannot. 
===Final Fantasy Brave Exvius===
The player begins with 40 energy (NRG) that can be spent in battles, and which will increase by one with the player's EXP level. The energy required per battle tends to increase with the difficulty level of the battle selected. Used energy recharges at a rate of one point per five minutes of real time, or it can be replenished with energy potions purchased or given as rewards. Energy can also overflow up to 250% of the player's maximum. However, Energy Restore potions cannot be used if the player is at their standard maximum for the level. 
Raid events use one Raid Orb per attempt regardless of difficulty.
