In 7-Eleven there is a lucky pendant which can be used to dodge the attack of the enemy.

Also, in Game Tsutaya, it offers a gold bamboo spear that is made of pure gold. In Amazon.co.jp there is a Healie T-shirt - a "mysterious shirt" that recovers HP "little by little."

A Healie cap is the incentive of Aeon and it increases maximum HP and dexterity. Menwhile, in Square Enix e-Store, there is a candy cane - a weapon for Yangus that causes damage and effective on metallic monsters.

According to the translation of Gematsu, the game will feature voiceovers, StreetPass support and soundtrack by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. It is said that the game will also feature new story scenario and two new party members - a female thief Gelda and Morrie from the game "Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road arcade game."
