| ===''Echoes of Mana''===
| |
| Difficulty was relative to the party's individual and overall '''combat power rating (PWR)''', which is determined by each unit's level, stats enhancements, attached [[Memory Gem]]s, and equipped gear. All main quests as well as certain training and event quests, offered a recommended PWR value for an indicated number of units during quest selection and loadout. The main quests were further divided into Normal, Hard, and Very Hard tracks, each with sharply increasing difficulty between tracks. Each non-story quest also had a time limit of 5-10 minutes, which in turn contributed to the mission's overall score and rank.
