You command a small army of characters (usually about 4 people) in order to fulfill the win conditions whether they task you with defeating a
specific powerful foe, surviving a set number of turns, or merely slaughtering every
enemy in sight.
- your Reactor now has a drone feature that lets you control at distance - thanks to that remotely controlled aircraft, you can explore areas in the field without going there yourself - use it in order to surprise monsters, who sometime drop items when they flee - send your Drone in holes that are way too small for you, where you'll find strange containers inside - it can also be used to grab mysterious balls of light that float in the air - if a monster touches one of these balls, it starts glowing and can defeat monsters with ride attacks even if it's weak - defeat as many as monsters as you want as long as the effects of the ball of light are active - ride giant monsters in the field - these giant monsters are really
powerful, and their ride attacks can defeat
enemies without even triggering a battle - each monster has its own ride attack to be used, allowing you to perform
specific actions - when you defeat
enemies while riding a giant monster, your monster will also get some XP
It really doesn't open up to you until 10 or more hours of gameplay, because you don't have the vehicles to cross the water or mountains, or the game forces you to go a
specific way because the
enemies on certain continents are way too
powerful for you to defeat.
