I wanted to use the girl that you get in the beginning of the game because I felt like she just wasn't pulling her wait even when I set it to full attack. So my strategy is to use her kick some enemies and then heal when needed. I am able to heal myself just fine but how do I target the other players in my party with a heal spell? For the life of me I can't figure it out. I have spent way too much time on this so I pray someone here can help me.

What I you during Combat press the Y/Triangle Button to bring up the menu, and the select "Artes" --> "Estelle" --> "Healing" --> "the target you want to heal"?

It's been a while, but I think you change targets for a hotkeyed heal with the D-Pad.

@eightbitshik: I doubt it still matters but you can set it to manual and move the right stick to select the ally

@ndc3: considering the OP was from 3 years ago, yeah they have probably moved on from this point.

@oscar__explosion: Hell no, I stopped playing until this dude posted that. I can now finish the game. It's about damn time!
