From Start |
In multiplayer you can play against the CPU or against a friend through the implementation of ad-hoc. When setting up a battle between the player and a computer opponent, many circumstances can be set to alter the battle's outbreak, including the character level of the enemy AI, as well as the AI's difficulty, based on either their tactics, equipment, or both. One can also set the enemy AI's behavior during the battle to make them seem much more human-like (by way of the computer becoming reckless or gentle). For detailed list see : Battle Setup.
By completing a portion of the story mode, the player will also unlock the Judgment tab, which allows the outcome of the battle to be changed on a whim by either Cosmos, Chaos, or both. Under certain circumstances, the deity will intervene on the battle in one way or another.

- Opponents with long Play Times or Player Icons you've never seen before are probably pretty strong.
- The second time you meet someone you've exchanged Friend Cards with,the Friend Reward icon appear.This is a bonus given for that card's player having battled your ghost and great way to gain gil and PP.There is a limit to the gil and PP you can receive in this way but you can increase these limits from the PP Catalog.
- Even while online you can press (triangle) to display all currently held Friend Cards,you may also receive Friend Rewards.

Judgment[]
Cosmos Judgment
Cosmos intervenes on behalf of the losing party in a time of dire straits, helping them with a slight boost in their abilities by...
- completely filling their Ex-Gauge
- recharging their Summon if it has been used during the battle, allowing it to be used again
Chaos Judgment
Chaos uses a decidedly different approach, forcing the combatants to constantly worry about an ever-growing threat by...
- increasing the damage and critical hit chance of both characters the longer the battle goes on
- paralyzing a character who does not attack for several seconds,
These judgments can be set, but might not appear during some battles, as their intervention is entirely random.
Trivia[]
- Although it is said you can go into infrastructure (online) mode, but you can't. You're only be able to go online if you use a special program on the Playstation®3 console, or using XLINK-KAI.
