Clifford & Serri Story
A new narrative follows Clifford and Serri after they part ways with Ryza, reuniting on a deserted island to pursue personal goals. Players control Serri while exploring familiar zones and a new map.
This story runs alongside the main plot, adding extra dialogue scenes and quests that deepen the two characters’ motivations.

Custom Combat Mode
Custom Combat lets players select monsters, set their levels, and adjust battle speed and monster behavior. This sandbox provides a controlled environment for testing strategies.
All settings are adjustable, allowing players to create challenging encounters or practice specific tactics without affecting the main storyline.
- Start with lower‑level monsters to gauge speed changes.
- Use the mode to trial party setups for story battles.

Wind Beast Helper
The DX edition adds a Wind Beast that automatically gathers ingredients while you explore, easing the resource‑collection aspect of alchemy.
The Beast follows the player and collects items without manual input, letting you focus on navigation and combat.
- Watch the Beast’s path to identify high‑yield areas.
- Combine its gathering with manual searches for rare items.

Link Save Data for Bonuses
Players can link save data from the original Secret Trilogy games to receive useful items. Both the original and DX versions are compatible for this feature.
Each linked title follows its own save‑data requirements, so distinct bonuses appear depending on which previous game’s data is attached.
- Check which bonuses each linked title provides before attaching.
- Back up original saves in case you wish to revert linking.
