Stage

Stage is what makes up a Journey. Each chapter, event, and quests consists of stages.

Stage elements
Stage can contain battle, scene, or both.

Battle
For stages with battle, the player can utilize their allies' type match-ups and unique special skills in a customizable up to five-member party to defeat the enemies in 50 turns or less. Completing this kind of stage uses up Energy, which regenerates once every five minutes. Some stages may also have restrictions like limiting the allies to a certain level, or have requirements like consuming certain items.

Scene
For stages with scene, the player can watch the story. If there is a battle on the stage, the story itself can be placed either before or after the battle. Some stages may require the player to have certain allies.

In the game, previously unlocked storylines can be visited again by tapping at the bottom right of each stage, or on the Memories menu for event journeys that have already ended.

Types of stages
Stages can be categorized into two types. These include Story and Free Quest stages.

Story
Story stages are mandatory stages which tell the main story. Progressing the story will also unlock gameplay features of the game. To unlock the next story stage, the player must complete the current stage first. In the game, these stages are marked with black heading.

Free Quest
Free Quest stages are optional stages that have no direct bearing on the main story. Once unlocked, the player is not required to complete the current stage before proceeding to the next story stage. Corresponding SSR ally is needed to unlock each of the Free Quest H♡ stages. In the game, these stages are marked with purple heading.
