Partner Skills

Each of the playable characters, excluding Mott, have a special partner skill that helps with solving puzzles on the field. As the story progresses, you'll encounter puzzles that can only be solved through the use of a party member's partner skill. Most areas are tailored to the abilities of your current party at all times – however, there may be one or two puzzles in past areas that require a party member you may have just recruited. Party members are rotated out constantly, so be sure to backtrack to older locations. Completing puzzles that you may not have been able to solve in the past can yield useful weapons and items.
