Character classes
Human (Male, Female)
These characters gain strength by fighting, however, they do not learn innate magic abilities.
Mutant (Male, Female)
Like humans, these characters gain strength by fighting. However, they gain strength more slowly than humans, however, to make up for this, they can use magic.
Robot
These characters gain strength based on the items they have equiped.
Monster (many different types)
These characters gain strength by eating the meat of defeated monsters. However, they can also regress into weaker monster types if they eat the meat of weaker monsters.
Worlds
In this game, the player visits twelve distinct worlds, in addition to the Celestial World and the Shrine at its center.
In the English version the worlds are named thus (and described thusly):
Home World Obviously named from the player's perspective, this is the world where the player starts. The players hometown is here and the game's starts off at the player's house. It contains the Shrine of Isis, where Ki can be found, and also contains Ashura's base, an outpost of the evil Ashura's domain.
Ashura's World A desert reminiscent of the Wild West ruled by the evil Ashura, who lives atop Ashura's Tower. The goal here is to defeat Ashura.
Giant's World A world that used to be ruled by Giants, who are believed to be extinct. You can get the Micron to help save Ki here and meet Johnny, who is rumored to be a Giant in disguise.
Apollo's World This is a world ruled by Apollo and is full of many interesting things, unlike the previous two one-mission worlds. The player meets Apollo, who is grateful that they defeated Ashura. Lynn, who has a connection to the main character's Dad, is found here; she must be rescued from a cave ruled by Dunatis, a robot that makes the wind blow in that cave. Other missions include going to a cave so bright that nothing distinctive can be seen and going to an underwater volcano, all to find MAGI.
Base World Essentially one big town, this world hosts the base of the Guardians. The player's Dad can be found here. It gets attacked by the gods.
Ninja's World This world only contains a mountain path, but in the pillar, if the player holds left or right down, she can go to one of the shops in the pillar. Lynn is kidnapped and brought here by an evil ninja. After defeating the ninja, there is nothing else to do here.
Venus' World There is Venus City, where only beautiful people with no physical deformities are allowed. Anybody with a twinge of ugliness, or any sort of scar, is exiled to the jungle. Leon, a man that was going to marry Flora, now lives in a hut outside the city. The human Flora is now to marry an imp named Nils by order of Venus, goddess of this world. The jungle scenes are reminiscent of those mid-century jungle flicks. The player must eventually reunite Leon and Flora and defeat the evil Venus.
Racing World The only feature to note here is the racing course. Apollo can be found here and he awards MAGI for winning the dragon race. The player must pick a dragon to race on, but the player is destined to win the race anyway, because the racers get attacked by monsters let loose by Apollo and only the player characters are capable of defending themselves, so the choice of dragon makes little difference.
Edo Edo is a world reminiscent of the Tokugawa Shogunate. A big world named after the old name of Tokyo with many things to do, bananas are inexplicably banned here. The player must stop a gang of banana smugglers called the Hatamoto and led by the evil Echigoya from executing a plot to smuggle a very large shipment of bananas in. It turns out that the Shogun (written as Sho-gun in the game) himself is behind the plot and the player must go into his castle to stop him. The Shogun turns out to be dominated by a man named Magnate. A dolphin can be fought if the player goes around Magnate and up to the dolphin statue instead.
Cave World The only feature of note here is a cave where many rare items can be found. This cave is the Ancient Cave and the Ancient Caves of Lufia seem based on this.
Valhalla A world resting on clouds, Valhalla, home of Odin, can be found here. Valhalla has many rare, powerful items and Odin himself is its boss. The player must defeat not only Odin, but 2 of his OdinCrow and the Sleipner. Odin seems much more established than the other gods.
Final World Obviously named from the player's perspective, all the player's MAGI get stolen by the evil Apollo here. When it seems like Apollo can make himself a supergod, the player's Dad appears and says that another MAGI can be found, one whose existence is a secret, in a cave guarded by WarMech. After defeating the WarMech, the player can advance to the Celestial Shrine.
Celestial World This is the world that connects all others, so the player will spend a lot of time here.
The Celestial Shrine A world in itself and the final place, the player will battle the evil Apollo here and reconstruct Isis using all 78 MAGI, the original goddess. The player must then begin the long journey down the Celestial Shrine, which is becoming increasingly unstable and whose instability has the potential to cause the Celestial World to collapse on top of all the worlds. The player must fight the TianLung and the Fenrir before finally arriving to fight the Celestial Shrine's defense system, Arsenal. After defeating Arsenal Isis stays behind to restore stability to the world while the player heads home.
