Difficulty
Updated 2026-10-16. Checked 2026-10-16.
You get three difficulties and a battle-speed toggle at 1.5x or 2x. There is no auto-battle. The easy mode is called Casual in one write-up of the demo menu and Easy in a data table. Trust the menu on your screen.
The multiplier table I trust enough to print comes from a data read: Easy uses 0.6 enemy HP, 0.4 stagger, 0.8 agility, 0.6 damage taken, and 1.1 player damage. Normal is 1.0. Expert uses 1.6 HP, 1.6 stagger, 1.4 agility, 1.4 damage taken, and 0.8 player damage. EXP and gil stay at 1.0. Expert mentions 1.5x mastery points.
Can you change it later?
Guides say you can change difficulty. Square Enix has not posted a line-by-line confirmation, so treat “change anytime” as a secondary source.
Questions
Does Expert give more EXP?
Not in this table. It mentions extra mastery points, not extra EXP or gil.
