Advancing Through the Game
The player embarks on fantastic adventures! Successfully complete explorations of ruins to become a first-rate adventurer. Find the mysterious Cyframe "Evolutia."
Flow of the Game
There are two major stages for adventures. The first stage is based in Mag's hometown of Pannam Town. Once adventures in Pannam Town are finished, you can then play on the stage of Museville, a somewhat larger city.
World Map
When leaving Museville for ruins, you now use the world map screen instead of a flying boat. You can use this screen to pick the ruins you want to explore.
Upon reentering a dungeon you entered previously, you can pick the floor on which to start. Use the Control Stick or press Up or Down on the + Control Pad to pick the ruin you wish to conquer and use the A Button to enter. A new adventure will start immediately.
