Players can choose one of the 8 characters as the protagonist to carry out their own independent storylines. A major feature of the game is the use of "free scripting". Players can freely decide the order of attacking towns and dungeons, and can also freely choose team members from multiple companion characters (the protagonist's solo adventure is also possible).


Combat uses "command combat" that uses skills and spells to defeat the enemy. As the number of times characters use weapons (including bare hands) to attack increases, the "flash system" in which characters can realize powerful skills is also a great charm of the "Saga" series. In the entire "Romantic SaGa" series, the skills of "Romantic SaGa 3" are the most colorful, including all kinds of cool skills. In addition, there is also a "commander mode" in the original work. In this mode, the protagonist will act as the commander (not participating in the battle) to give instructions to the companions to let the characters fight automatically.


The biggest feature of the original is the setting of rich game events. In addition to the plot events depicting the characters' past and emotions, there are also a lot of thrilling and exciting combat events such as participating in the knockout round, fighting on a runaway car, and fighting with dragons. In addition, mini-games that are independent of the main story, such as the "group battle" (マスコンバット) that leads an army to launch a war, and "trade" that acquires assets through money transactions, are also important factors that make people addicted.
