Spiritual Force S.F. is an unusual mechanic, you invest learn points (LP) to build a character's SF and increase his main attribute, but in this game it also empowers party members in the same row and column. It sort of works like an aura. This helps you make up the stat shortcomings of party members in the same row, like low speed.
SF is also needed to learn special skills, once those are learned the ability can still be used even when SF reqirements aren't met due to a change of formation, but the starting postition governs how much the abilities drain the technique resource called IP. Formations can be changed before and during a battle.
On top of all that only 3 out of 9 possible members can receive orders, and at least one of the front members must live or it means instant defeat. Due to all of that the battle system is fairly dynamic and unique, especially in boss battles.
