When a character is pepped up, there are certain abilities available to them known as '''Pep Powers'''. Certain enemies are also able to become pepped up in battle and some even have access to Pep Powers.

Although somewhat similar to [[Tension]] from previous games, Pep differs in many ways. For one, it triggers randomly and each character appears to have different triggers for it, such as taking damage in battle, or inflicting damage on enemies. Pep is able to carry over between battles, as well, and a character who is pepped up will stay in the state if they have been switched out of the active party. This can be useful for certain quests, which require the player to perform specific Pep Powers on enemies.

Although somewhat similar to [[Tension]] from previous games, Pep differs in many ways. For one, it triggers randomly and each character appears to have different triggers for it, such as taking damage in battle, or inflicting damage on enemies. Pep is able to carry over between battles, as well, and a character who is pepped up will stay in the state if the battle ends while they are still pepped up or if they have been switched out of the active battle party. This can be useful for certain quests, which require the player to perform specific Pep Powers on enemies. Pep typically lasts between 6~8 turns in battle and the blue glow behind a character's portrait in battle will begin to flash to indicate that the status will be ending soon.

==Pep Bonuses==

If a character has unlocked the skill, "Pep-Up Power-Up" on their panels, they will receive an even stronger boost to their attributes while pepped up.
