A completed game of Concentration in the PlayStation Portable version
Not to be confused with the spell, Concentrate.

Concentration[1] is a minigame featured in the Final Fantasy II remakes, starting with Final Fantasy Origins. As directly stated from the title, it is a simple game of concentration. It is a hidden minigame and can be considered the successor to the 15 Puzzle from Final Fantasy.

To access the minigame, the party must be in the Snowcraft. While they are in it, the player must hold down "X" and press the "Circle" button 15–20 times (or 22 times in the PlayStation Portable version). In the Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls remake, they must hold the B button and press the A button 22 times.

Gameplay

There are eight pairs, making there a total of sixteen cards, which are arranged on a 4x4 grid. Each pair depicts a party member. Once all pairs are matched, the party is rewarded gil, along with a prize, which varies depending on how many pairs were missed. If a character has upgraded their Toad spell to level 16, each of the pairs are changed to Toads, and completing it yields higher rewards.

If the player completes a concentration puzzle and then restarts and immediately cancels the game 31 times, they can access the 32nd layout, which is always identical to the first. This decreases the likelihood of mistakes, especially if the player has memorized the locations of every pair in the first challenge.
