Formations are a gameplay feature in SaGa Scarlet Grace, returning from other games in the series. Different formation grant different benefits while in battle. Some formations will grant more BP if you kill enemies, some will help you defend more fragile characters, and so on.
You gain new formations by recruiting new characters.
