In previous iterations of the Final Fantasy series, the game designers would quite often include shortcuts and easy means to restart any of the fights. For example, in Final Fantasy XIII, you could press pause and then restart the battle at any time. Other games like Final Fantasy VII and VIII had a soft reset feature (+++++).

Unfortunately, Final Fantasy XVI does not have the same mechanism available. Instead, you’ll have to rely on your own manual save game files or the auto-save function. Thankfully, the auto-save feature in Final Fantasy XVI works very well. It quite often saves before and after battle, and you can rely on it pretty well if you want to go back and revisit any of the fights.
