Several arenas have become interactive, making the player automatically lose a fight if they leave a specific area. If the player has two support characters, each has five health bars. If the player has one support character, it has ten health bars. Additionally, the assistants have health bars, losing health whenever they get hit, ultimately being unusable when their health bars deplete.

The assisting characters now can also aid the playable one through the use of thirteen different types of combos. The fighting system has been deleted,with the Sleeping Mode, a state that gave each character the same abilities when their health was full, being possible to be used at any time after a fight, for certain characters.Īs in the previous games, the player can choose two characters to assist the player character in battle.
