  • Items used during combat can be used a max number of three times each.
  • Boss fights will have time limits.
  • Some boss fights may display a shorter attack range from the bosses.
  • You can get high-performance equipment of the same name using the Rainbow Item Seeds.
  • Two chain abilities added:
    • Sacred Sword Guidance: Party members that you’re not controlling will endure a knockout blow and remain with 1 HP.
    • Sacred Sword Guidance II: Recovers the HP of all party members by 100% after battle.
• Other functions added:
  • New difficulty “Very Hard” added.
  • Class-change scenes and the end credits can now be skipped.
