The game follows the same gameplay as the fourth title, with vengeful spirits visible on the map and priestesses repelling them. Players drain their Spiritual Power, which is critical when it's drained. Combat follows the third game's system, with the protagonist's turn removed and fully body battle portraits. Players can order actions for guardians, and their battle parameters increase based on victories. Characters can max out their stats in the high nineties. Players can rescue guardians, acquire crossover events and spells, and summon magic by defeating the boss. Different default endings occur if the party fails or succeeds in rescuing every guardian and deity before fighting the final boss.

Here are other standard traits with this title:

  • A title call from one of the guardians and special welcoming messages based on last time played and time of day (based on NDS system data). Certain guardians will speak for specific seasons/holidays.
  • Music, backgrounds, and character portraits are mostly recycled from the key continuities. There are four unique music tracks.
  • The two other priestesses will keep their default names in the script. If the player chooses to not rename their selected protagonist, other characters will speak it aloud during events.
  • Unique voice commentary has been added to every event still in the gallery.
  • Muting options are available for specific characters.
  • Audio dialogue is lip-synced. Lip-flaps have been added to unvoiced dialogue.
  • Neo Angelique's one button skip settings are in place.

Personal Routes[]

Every guardian starts with three stars of affinity with the protagonist, visually being represented as falling or rising throughout the game. Once these stars are maxed out through main story events or winning battles, one of their "Little Dream Boxes" (夢の小箱) will pop onto the map. Guardians who debut in the same canon as the priestess will have three possible boxes, while crossover guardians have one box.

The protagonist opens a box, triggering a dream event with a specific character. The protagonist gains two bonds with the character, and guardians with the same origin have ten stars and romantic endings. Crossover guardians have one friendship event and special farewell messages. Multi-tasking allows for multiple endings in one playthrough, and a complete save requires at least one playthrough with all protagonists.
