A traditional role-playing game in much the same vein as [[Suikoden series|its predecessors]], Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki features the return of the six-person party system, last seen in [[Suikoden V]]. Parties are arranged in formation on a 3x3 grid and each available character falls into one of eight classes. Sub-jobs can be taken on and skills can be taught between classes across time frames. | A traditional role-playing game in much the same vein as [[Suikoden series|its predecessors]], Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki features the return of the six-person party system, last seen in [[Suikoden V]].

In a manner similar to [[Suikoden III]], characters can be grouped up. Unlike Suikoden III, this does not push a character into an AI-informed support role, full player control is maintained. Also unlike Suikoden III, the grouping is not limited to two characters only. The advantage of grouping party members is to build bonds between your characters, giving them boost capabilities when linked together in battle, allow skills to be shared and learned, and unlock scenes at your headquarters, which can eventually lead to the learning of sub-classes and extra abilities. | In a manner similar to [[Suikoden III]], characters can be grouped up.

As with Suikoden Tierkreis, weapons and armor are purchased to equip to your character, but these pieces of equipment can then be improved and customized further at a blacksmith or armorer. [[Magicite]] is used in the casting of spells but function more as an MP analogue than as a substitute for [[Rune|runes]] or the [[Mark of the Stars]] as magic is inherent to the characters class. Spells don't have a default element, this only changes based on the magicite or [[malicite]] used to cast the spell. | As with Suikoden Tierkreis, weapons and armor are purchased to equip to your character, but these pieces of equipment can then be improved and customized further at a blacksmith or armorer.
