About this game
The adventure begins with separate protagonists, letting you follow their chapters before the hero’s group comes together. Town conversations supply clues, shops provide equipment, and battle commands handle the party’s encounters with monsters. Control changes as the story develops. In the first four chapters you give direct orders to party members; in chapter five you command the hero while allies choose their own actions according to selected tactics. Adventure logs retain progress. This account follows the original FC/NES structure, without adding remake chapters or fully manual ally control.
Collected in series
