The game features a completely reformed worldview from earlier titles within the series, in add-on to a new alchemy-centric system. Sophie is able to obtain ideas for recipes from activities such every bit harvesting, exploring, battling, or from events,[11] and these ideas are used as a basis of improving her knowledge of alchemy. When she performs alchemy, the player is presented with diverse predetermined shapes representing the ingredients used, and arranges each shape on a puzzle lath that represents the cauldron. This process involves visual trial-and-error, and if the shapes are arranged perfectly, the player receives a bonus. The materials selected affect the quality of the item synthesised.[eleven] [12] This system is intended to offer a high degree of freedom based on the player's own playstyle.[11]
One time the player gathers the required ingredients, the abracadabra process involves a five-step procedure which consists of selecting a cauldron, applying ingredients, arranging shapes to receive bonuses, reviewing the bonuses caused, and finally selecting which bonuses the thespian intends to keep. After crafting, the role player is able to progress the story, in addition to equipping up to four categories of items using the "Dollmake" characteristic.[xiii]
The "Dollmake" feature allows the role player to freely customise Plachta using costume items crafted by the role player via alchemy. As the number of items crafted via alchemy increases, the possible customisation options widen.[12] [14] The game's new weather system affects how the game world changes based on the electric current fourth dimension and weather condition; for instance, items receive shop discounts and specific types of enemies appear at certain times and under certain conditions.[11]
