Gameplay
--------
As with earlier releases in the series, EOIII is an RPG designed
primarily around dungeon crawling and turn-based party combat. In
single player action the player acts as leader a new crew of up
to five adventurers, which must be created. In the local
multiplayer mode each player occupies one of these five spots.
The game contains many character classes, including but not
limited to Prince, Gladiator, Hoplite, Buccaneer, Ninja, Monk,
Zodiac, Wildling, Arbalist and Farmer. Each of these have their
own strengths and weaknesses, which should be taken into account
when a team is assembled. Each member of a class can can also be
identified as male or female. Once assembled this team can start
exploration of the Yggdrasil Labyrinth, where monsters dwell.
Within the Labyrinth players are guided by a , which can be
customized with points of interest, directions, etc. using the DS
stylus. Once monsters are encountered, turn-based combat begins,
with the five party members arrayed in a line of three in front
and two in back, or vice versa, and with support/healing as well
as ranged attacks possible from the rear. If a character in the
vanguard falls, one from behind assumes that position on the
line. Players dictate in advance how individual characters
respond in combat, and with victory in combat can use the
individual skill points characters earn to level up specific
abilities and attributes. An additional new feature allows for
players to take to the high seas. Here they can explore, fish and
battle new monsters for as long as provisions are available for
the crew.
