What to study

The Press Turn system has two faces and the HUD changes color with them. On the player's turn the orbs are blue four-pointed stars; on the enemy's turn they become red demon faces and the 'Player Turn' label flips to 'Enemy Turn' in red, so the same corner that counts your actions also tells you at a glance whose actions they are. The moon phase (3/8 here, against 1/8 in the player-turn frame) and the Magatsuhi MAX gauge are the only elements that do not change sides, which is the point: they are the battle's shared clocks, not either side's. Frame at about 0:20 in the An Ideal World Trailer (Steam). Disclosure: the frame is caught as the enemy skill resolves, so the golden skill orbs dominate the middle of the screen; no trailer caption or logo is in frame.
