The Growth Map system in Fantasian is a type of character progression and skill system that is unlocked later in the game. The Growth Map allows players to customize the way their character develops, choosing specific skills and stats to learn as they level up. This comes as a change from the linear experience that players would have experienced in the first half of the game.
The Growth Map is currently in a limited state and we only have access to Leo's Growth Map in part 1 of Fantasian. We expect that we'll be able to use the Growth Map for other characters when part two is released.
Unlocking The Growth Map
Players can unlock the Growth Map in Fantasian when they reach the Chaos Realm in the story. When Leo equips a Divine artefact, it allows the user to use the Growth Map from the Main Menu.
Leo get's 3 SP per level up for the Growth Map (with an initial bonus of SP when you unlock it depending on your current level. At level 29 you'll receive 7 SP). As there is currently a Level 35 level cap in part 1 of Fantasian, players are limited to 25 SP points to use in the Growth Map.
25 SP is just enough for players to unlock some of the new features we are likely to see expanded upon in part 2, including the Tension Skills (which are a kind of limit-break esque power move).
Players can freely unequip their locked-in SP at any time with the Release Mode.
Quick mode allows players to quickly assign SP to nodes with a tap rather than the confirm option when Quick mode is turned off.
There looks also to be the opportunity to unlock specific nodes within the Growth Map. In Leo's Growth Map nodes that have chains around them require the player to acquire specific items before they can add SP to the node.
