Menu[]

There are some menus in 7th Dragon:

Guild Menu[]

To get to the guild menu you must talk to Elan in the Guild Office.

  1. The top alternative is when you want to create a new character. The Character Creator. Note: If you already have the maximum number of characters (16 characters) then you must delete a character to create a new.
  2. The second top alternative is when you want delete a character. The Character Deletion. When you are in this menu you can see all your characters stats and equipment on the top screen.
    • Note: BE CAREFUL WITH THIS! Carelessly deleting a character will be gone forever and there is no way to get it back. All equipment that is equipped on the character will also disappear.
  3. The alternative on the middle is Party Formation. There can you change and arrange your party. The party formation has two formations: Front row and Back row. The front row gives 100% physical ATK that your character deals and 100% DEF that you get from your enemies. The back row, however, gives 50% DEF reduction that you get and 50% physical ATK reduction you deal. So the classes that are recommended at the front row are:
    • Knights are meant to be at front row, to protect the others.
    • Fighters are also meant to be at front row, they have good DEF and physical ATK so they can be at the front row alone. But they're not specialized to be alone on the front row.
    • Rogues that use swords and daggers are placed on the front row so they can deal high damage. But they cannot take the front row by themselves because of their low DEF. But they have Vampire (ヴァンパイア) so they can restore HP. Bows are projectiles so they ignore the 50% damage drop. So they can be placed on the back row and deal full damage (and still get 50% damage reduction!). Rogues that use bows can also be placed on the front row.
    • Samurai also takes place at the front row so they can deal massive damage. But can die easily compared to the other front rower because of their low DEF.
    • Healers have very low DEF so placing them on the front row is like letting them die instantly. So placing them on the back row is recommended. Offensive Healers might have problems with being in the front row. They have so low DEF so after 1-3 hits they will instantly die. So giving them as high DEF as possible is recommended. Also, their ATK is not very good compared to the other front rowers, so giving them the strongest weapon is also recommended.
    • Mages have very low DEF, physical ATK and endurance and focuses on magical damage so they are placed on the back row. Only Mages magical damage (or items that deals magical damage) ignores the 50% ATK drop. So the Samurai and Fighters magical attacks does get affected by the 50% ATK drop.
    • Princesses are safe on the back row. Whips are considered projectiles so they ignore the 50% ATK drop (but still get the 50% DEF reduction!). So they can still attack full damage from the back row. Princesses can be placed on the front row.
    • Note: There must always be at least one character on the front row. So you can't make a party without a front rower.
  4. The fourth alternative is where you can rearrange character grind.
  5. The last alternative is where you exit from the guild menu. Note: you can also just press B to exit from the guild menu.

Y Menu[]
