| In Final Fantasy 10 the characters will not receive experience points or gain levels. Instead they will only receive AP (Ability Points) for completing a battle. When a character has enough AP his/her S.Lv (Sphere Level) will increase. S.Lvs are used to move characters around the Sphere Board, a magical board made up of connected circular tiles. Each character has his/her own position on the board. To move a character just select the Sphere Board option from the menu and choose a character. Every tile you move onto consumes one S.Lv. Depending on what type of tile the character lands on you can then use Spheres to augment the characters statistics. |
| Spheres are found in many different places. Certain Spheres can only be used on certain tiles. A Spheres effects can change depending on which tile you use it on. The Sphere Board system makes the characters completely customizable. For example, while Lulu is a Black Mage you can use the Sphere Board to make her learn White Magic spells. The Overdrive moves will be the only abilities that vary from character to character. There are 30 different spheres which can be placed into 6 different coloured groups. |
