The [[Fun-Size Forge]] is a complete overhaul of the [[Alchemy|alchemy system]] first seen in ''VIII''. Instead of recycling older items, weapons, and armor to create new gear, the forge allows the player to refine existing armaments and items into more potent versions that have greater stats and effects. | The [[Fun-Size Forge]] is a complete overhaul of the [[Alchemy|alchemy system]] first seen in ''VIII''.

The forge is used on a separate screen, where the item being reforged is presented in a grid layout set over its rough outline. The goal is to hit the selected grind square so that the meter bar assigned to it is raised to the target level, changing the molten outline of that section of the item into its proper shape. The player has a variety of strike techniques and temperature control to raise the meters to the ideal setting, and each action requires a set number of focus points. The amount of focus the Luminary can grant at any time is proportional to his level. | The forge is used on a separate screen, where the item being reforged is presented in a grid layout set over its rough outline.
