The game combines top-down exploration with turn-based battles. Players travel between towns, dungeons, and the world map while advancing the story. In combat, each job class changes stats, equipment options, and battle roles, letting players assign offense, healing, and support as needed. Progression is driven by exploration, resource management, and job experimentation, with airships and other transport unlocking broader world access later on.

Strategy
Keep the party balanced early on, with at least one healer and one strong damage dealer. Try new jobs often, since different enemies and dungeons favor different setups. Save healing items for long dungeon runs, and use area damage or efficient offensive jobs against grouped foes. Later in the game, speed and survivability become especially important for surviving tougher bosses.
