Items and Key Items

Items, Key Items, and Loot serve different jobs. Consumable Items are used in and out of battle, Key Items advance a route or unlock a system, and Loot is usually sold for gil and Bazaar progress. Use the table to check an item's practical purpose before consuming, selling, or discarding it.

Recovery Priorities

Keep Phoenix Downs and the basic status cures stocked before buying optional damage.
Ether, Hi-Ether, Elixir, and Megalixir are harder to replace than ordinary shop supplies. Use them when the recovery changes the outcome.
A Remedy only cures the conditions supported by that character's Remedy Lore Licenses.
Nu Khai Sand removes Doom. Do not assume an ordinary Remedy solves every Doom timer.
Bacchus's Wine applies Berserk. That can be useful in a deliberate physical setup and disastrous on the wrong character.
