I am playing on the xbox 360, and I've already gotten some skills (warrior based, like rush attack and fatality). But I don't know how to put it to a button. Y button allows me to do whirl attack, but that's it. So, I've looked through the manual, and looked online, but I can't find an answer.

How do you attach other skills to the buttons A and B, and how do you attach items (or skills) to the dpad?

Hold a button / pad direction down for a couple seconds and a menu will pop up allowing you to assign skills, potions, etc to them. The actions assigned to the A and B buttons can sometimes get triggered when finishing or exiting out of conversations, etc, so it would be better not to assign skills with a long cooldown or high mana requirements, just in case.

FWIW, playing a warrior I assigned X melee attack, A range attack, Y Rush Attack, B whirlwind, left Dragon Stone, right Dragon Morph stone (both after getting the battle tower), up Heal (level 1 comes in handy) and down summon creature (after getting it).

For potions, I generally just paused (or had the low hit point auto-pause kick in) and hit a shoulder button to bring up a similar menu as with assigning button actions. That is also handy for skills you only use occasionally.

YAY! Thank you very much, it's been killing me the last two days. Literally.

And thanks for the welcome! ^_^
