What is the difference between “Action” mode and “Tactical” mode?
The difference between "Action" mode and "Tactical" mode is the level of difficulty. In "Action" creatures will be easier to kill which implies you will not have to pause the game all the time to conduct your next move. "Tactical" is harder and requires more insight and strategy.
It will be clearer with an example from the field:
Let's say we are facing an Air Elemental. There are different possibilities a character can do, e.g. equipping different items to boost your own Air resistance, making sure the crystal bag is filled with air crystals for yet another boost and using earth arrows to make full usage of your opponent's weak spot. Meanwhile your other character can place a trap in the vicinity and luring the creature to it.
In "Tactical" mode this will be useful, in "Action" mode you can just as well hack and slash your way through most of the time.
In short, "Action" lets you mainly hack and slash and you can choose to go tactical now and then. In "Tactical" you'll have to rely on more than on the power of your main weapon.
Concerning quests and puzzles both modes have no differences.
