Characters have their own jobs and can be invited to live in houses. The game features a new town-building option, which allows the player to populate their village with special characters found in the game. This allows players to access areas, destroy objects, move around the game easier or avoid traps. Each character has their unique Personal Action that can be performed outside a battle.

New characters come along with Ryu as the game progresses, but only four may be in a party at a given time, just like in the previous installment. The player can’t advance if the opponent is not defeated. Players can’t choose their own path, they will have to follow a pre-set route dictated by the story and therefore encounter many enemies along the way. There is also a new Monster Meter indicating the chance of meeting monsters in a given area on the map. The game brings in a redesigned text-based menu, compared to the first installment, which featured an icon-based menu. The playable characters can interact with non-playable characters on the map and have to battle enemies to advance through the game. They can move the characters in four different directions across the map, including in towns and dungeons. The game features two-dimensional character sprites and environments, players viewing the game from a top-down perspective.
