Plot[]
The story takes place in a peaceful land of seven kingdoms. Suddenly, as though enchanted by an ancient prophecy, the kingdoms wage war. The heroes from different kingdoms band together to restore peace to their torn continent.
Gameplay[]
World exploration has been redesigned to resemble a Dragon Quest experience, allowing players to visit towns, wander the map, and initiate battle stages. Random monster encounters, special ingredients, and treasure boxes can be found. Weather can affect party status, and unlocking "Invitation Stones" allows instant warps to previously visited locations.
Zelbion is the new main town, with a class change feature for protagonists, allowing them to switch equipment types and skills. Weapons merchants can teach random skills based on proficiency. Battle stages are mandatory, and parties can be changed. Two-player co-op is now available, and players can complete the "Time Labyrinth," a series of multiplayer exclusive stages. Online matching and invites can be set up.
Players can play multiplayer missions with up to four players, using common stock phrases for communication. Fallen party members can be resurrected or their health raised. Cross-platform play and save data sharing are available, with save data granting costumes for protagonists. DLC includes costumes, weapons, and multiplayer options, accessible through Manemane.
