Gameplay

In this version of the game, the mazes for the dungeons are randomly-generated. This means that each time you enter the same dungeon, the path through the maze will be different, although you will encounter the same items and monsters. This gives the game better replay value.

In the beginning of the game, Chocobo can only carry a few items. If he dies in the dungeon, you lose all your accumulated items and must start over. As the game progresses, you will be able to rent storage space in town and send extra items there. These items are not lost if your character dies. The official strategy guide for this game lists all the possible items and the various combinations or actions needed to obtain them.

Chocobo can be equipped with various saddles for armor, and strap-on claws for weapons. There are also special furnaces where you can forge your own weapons, any Recycle Boxes where you can combine items to get a new, randomly produced item. It is also possible to earn feathers which give you various special abilities. Plus you can buy and sell items in town.

Once you finish all the levels, let the credits run, and you will then be given the ability to play a new form of the game, where you can be other characters besides Chocobo. This second play-through also has a secret dungeon with 30 levels.
