There are a lot of menus in The First Descendant that are all useful, so knowing how to navigate them and find what you are looking for can be a bit of a mess when starting for the first time.
There are separate menus for the store, equipping your character and changing basic settings, and the game does a horrible job of telling you what does what. So here are a few important keybinds you should learn to muscle memory if you plan to grind away.
