* AssistCharacter: All three Companions function this way. By racking up an 8-hit combo, Regius can call his allies with a button command, which briefly summons them to inflict major damage.
* BulletTime: If a projectile gets close or a nearby enemy is about to perform a dangerous attack, time briefly slows down to allow you to react.
* {{Combos}}: You can start a combo by repeatedly striking enemies without getting hit. Combos are essential to accessing Companions and Armiger, as they will only unlock when you reach certain combo values. Getting hit by any attack resets your combo.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Flans are colored according to the Element they resist.
* CounterAttack: Master Skeletons can counter Quick Slashes with an attack of their own.
* TheDragoon: Young Cid wields a polearm, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII much like a previous Cid who was also a Dragoon.]]
* DualWielding: When summoned as a Companion, Weskham dual-wields pistols, shooting enemies all around him for 75 damage per bullet.

** Master Skeletons block Quick Slashes and reply with a CounterAttack. They also block Heavy Slashes, but do not counter.
