  The display item setting table positioned in the RAM 23 is a table for determining items to be displayed for each character when status display is performed. In this display item setting table, groups and display items are associated with each other. Groups are divided into battle groups that participate in battles and standby groups that do not participate in battles. In the battle scene, various item data of characters belonging to the battle group are referred to without reference to various item data of characters belonging to the standby group, and action control is performed. That is, the action of the character (first character) classified into the battle group (first group) based on the number of item data more than the character (second character) classified into the standby group (second group). Control will be performed. Further, the display items include various types of item data of character data stored for each character.

  Specifically, the name, level, maximum HP, HP, maximum MP, MP, number of combo gauge stock, and level-up conditions are associated with the battle group as display items. Are associated with the name, level, HP, MP, and number of combo gauge stocks. As described above, the display items of the battle group are larger than the display items of the standby group.

  That is, the first display area 16a (see FIGS. 43 and 44) for displaying item data corresponding to the characters classified into the battle group, and the second display for displaying item data corresponding to the characters classified into the standby group. In the display area 16b (see FIGS. 43 and 44), the number of item data is different, and in particular, the first display area is classified into battle groups with a larger number of item data than the second display area. The item data corresponding to the character to be displayed is displayed. In this way, a plurality of item data is displayed in a predetermined display area on the display 16 for each of a plurality of characters based on the plurality of item data.

  Thus, the 1st display area which displays the item data corresponding to the 1st character classified into the 1st group, and the 2nd which displays the item data corresponding to the 2nd character classified into the 2nd group The number of item data differs depending on the display area. Accordingly, the item data to be displayed can be made different depending on the character type, state, etc., such as the first character and the second character, and a plurality of item data can be displayed in a display mode in which the display area is effectively used. it can. For this reason, item data that does not need to be different depending on the character type and the character state can be omitted, and can be displayed in a more easily visible display mode.

  In addition, when the action control of the first character is performed based on the number of item data larger than that of the second character, the first character is displayed in the first display area with the number of item data larger than that of the second display area. The item data corresponding to is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to display more item data for a character whose behavior is controlled based on a relatively large number of item data, and item data that does not need to be different depending on the character type and the character state. It can be omitted, and can be displayed in a display mode that is easier to visually recognize.

[Magic plate setting table]

In particular, each of a plurality of types of magic plates has a plurality of star areas, and for each of the star areas, a shape type, an attribute, a size, and a magic stone device are associated. Yes. A magic plate is an item that determines additional ability data to be added to character data related to a character by storing it corresponding to the character. Regarding the magic plate equipment, the character magic board equipment of the character is set in the character data table (see FIG. 4). A plurality of star areas are areas that can be set on each magic plate and can set magic stones for determining additional ability data.

  As the shape types of these star regions (regions), there are a round shape indicating additional power data related to an attack, a triangle shape indicating additional power data related to auxiliary power, and a rhombus shape indicating additional power data related to recovery. The attributes of these star regions include various attributes such as ground attributes, water attributes, and fire attributes. In addition, the sizes of these star regions are 1 to 4 sizes. A magic stone can be set in these star regions. In addition, for example, when a predetermined amount of money is possessed in a magic plate arrangement store, these star regions are in a magic plate editable state, and the shape type and size of the star regions can be changed. With the magic stone equipment, various magic stones to be described later are set in the star region, so that additional ability data corresponding to the various magic stones set is added to the character data related to the character. As will be described in detail later, these magic stones are set on the magic plate by satisfying predetermined setting conditions that can be set in the star region of the magic plate. Note that when the magic stone is mounted on the magic plate and the magic plate is mounted on the character, the additional ability data corresponding to the magic stone is added to the character data relating to the character for the first time.

[Magic stone setting table]
In addition, the RAM 23 described above stores data related to the magic stone that can be set in correspondence with the game program in the DVD-ROM 31 and the magic plate based on the memory card 32. A magic stone setting table storing such data will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a magic stone setting table.

  The magic stone setting table positioned in the RAM 23 can be set in an area of the magic plate, and is a table in which data related to a magic stone for determining additional ability data is set. In the magic stone setting table, a magic stone, a shape type, an attribute, a size, a level, and an effect are associated with each other. That is, each of the plural types of magic stones is associated with a shape type, an attribute, a size, a level, and an effect.

  These magic stones also have shape types, attributes, sizes, etc., similar to the above-described areas. Like the area, these magic stone shapes include a round shape indicating additional power data related to an attack, a triangular shape indicating additional power data related to an auxiliary ability, and a diamond shape indicating additional power data related to recovery. . In addition, the magic stone attributes include various attributes such as a ground attribute, a water attribute, and a fire attribute as in the area. Further, the size of these magic stones has a size of 1 to 4 like the area. The level indicates the level of the additional ability data corresponding to these magic stones, and is associated with the size of the magic stone. That is, the additional ability data that is relatively advantageous according to the size of the magic stone is added to the character data. The effect is the content of the additional ability data. For example, it becomes possible to use the attack magic A1, use the recovery magic C1 that increases the damage to the enemy character, etc. by 5%. There are various types of additional power data such as setting the consumption MP of the player character to 50%.

  When these magic stones satisfy predetermined setting conditions that can be set in the star area of the magic plate, additional ability data corresponding to the set magic stone is added to the character data related to the character equipped with the magic plate. It will be. The predetermined setting condition can be set when the magic stone matches the shape type of the star region in the magic plate and is the same as or smaller than the size of the star region in the magic plate.

  Further, as described above, the magic stone has a function of adding additional ability data that is relatively advantageous according to its size to the character data. For this reason, the area in the magic plate can be edited so that additional ability data that is more advantageous is added to the character data. In this case, the shape type, attribute, size, etc. in the magic plate setting table are stored so as to change. In addition, when magic stones are equipped, the magic stone equipment in the magic plate setting table is stored to be changed.

  Further, the CPU 21 for storing or updating such a character data table (see FIG. 4), magic plate setting table (see FIG. 8), magic stone setting table (see FIG. 9), etc. in the RAM 23, This corresponds to an example of additional power data storage means for storing additional power data (magic plate, magic stone) to be added to the character data. In particular, such CPU 21 and RAM 23 store a plurality of types of additional power data classified according to types. In other words, such CPU 21 and RAM 23 are classified according to the shape corresponding to the type, and store a plurality of types of magic stones (ability objects) for determining the ability of the character. In other words, such CPU 21 and RAM 23 store additional ability data corresponding to the size of the magic stone (ability object) and relatively advantageous for the character according to the size of the magic stone. . In other words, such CPU 21 and RAM 23 store additional ability data for changing the rate of increase / decrease of the character data with respect to the character's action mode.

[Player character state setting table]
Further, the RAM 23 described above stores a game program in the DVD-ROM 31 and data relating to the state of the player character based on the memory card 32. A player character state setting table in which such data is stored will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing a player character state setting table.

  The player character state setting table positioned in the RAM 23 is a table for setting (determining) the state of the player character. In the player character state setting table, the calorie of the player character and the state of the player character are associated with each other. The player character's calorie is the calorie of the player character B in the character data table (see FIG. 4) described above. In addition, the type and ability are associated with the state of the player character.

  Specifically, when the calorie of the player character is “−11” to “+11”, the state of the player character is pink bat, which is a standard ability. Further, when the calorie of the player character is larger than “+11” and smaller than “+100”, the state of the player character becomes a grammar which is an ability specialized for a physical attack. Further, when the calorie of the player character is larger than “−100” and smaller than “−11”, the state of the player character becomes slim, which is an ability specialized for a magic attack. Further, when the calorie of the player character becomes “+100” or more, the state of the player character becomes a super grammar with improved grammar ability. Further, when the calorie of the player character is “−100” or less, the state of the player character becomes super slim with improved slim ability. In these super glamor and super slim, unlike pink bats, glamor and slim, their abilities are specially enhanced. More specifically, Super Glamor increases damage by physical attack by 150% than Glamor, and Super Slim increases damage by magic attack by 150% compared to Slim. As described above, the super grammar and the super slim state are relatively advantageous specific states, on condition that the calorie (player character state data) becomes a predetermined value (for example, +100, −100). The state of the player character is changed to a super grammar or super slim state that is relatively advantageous to the character. Therefore, the player character state data is intentionally changed to a relatively advantageous specific state as a predetermined value, and the player character state data is changed to an initial value. A strategic game can be provided in harmony with restrictions on specific conditions.

[Special Action Table]
Further, the RAM 23 described above stores game programs in the DVD-ROM 31 and data relating to special actions performed by characters based on the memory card 32. A special action table in which such data is stored will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing a special action table.

  The special action table positioned in the RAM 23 is a table related to special actions. In this special action table, an action type and a consumption special action value are associated with each other. In FIG. 11, in order to facilitate understanding of the invention, an explanation corresponding to this action type is shown. The consumption special action value is a special action value that is consumed when the action type is performed. For a character whose special action value is less than the consumption special action value, the action type corresponding to the consumption special action value is selected. Is limited.

  Specifically, when the attack type is a hard hit attack, “50” is determined as the consumption special action value. In this hard hit attack, when the attack is successful (hit), the special action value of the character that is the target of the attack action is decreased by “100”.

  If the attack type is a combo attack, “100” is determined as the special consumption action value. In this combo attack, an attack (action) is possible in association with the character action in the later order. That is, in this combo attack, a plurality of actions can be executed by a plurality of characters.

  If the attack type is a double attack, “100” is determined as the special consumption action value. In this double attack, an attack (action) is possible by combining a plurality of actions. That is, in this double attack, a plurality of actions can be executed by one character.

  If the attack type is a double combo attack, “200” is determined as the special consumption action value. In this double combo attack, a plurality of actions can be combined, and an attack (action) can be made in relation to the character action in the subsequent order. That is, in this double combo attack, a plurality of actions can be executed by one character, and a plurality of actions can be executed by a plurality of characters.

  In the present embodiment, the special action value is subtracted in the hard hit attack, the combo attack, the double attack, and the double combo attack. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to include linked magic that can be executed only by the last character (fourth character) of the combo.

[Additional action value calculation table]
Further, the RAM 23 described above stores data relating to the calculation of the addition action value corresponding to the character based on the game program in the DVD-ROM 31 and the memory card 32. The addition action value calculation table in which such data is stored will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram of an addition action value calculation table.

  The addition action value calculation table positioned in the RAM 23 is a table for calculating the addition action value. This addition action value is a value for adding a special action value. This special action value is a value for executing a special action such as combo, double, and double combo, and is set to be changeable for each player character and enemy character.

  In this addition action value calculation table, an addition condition, a coefficient, and a point are stored in association with each other. In addition, the addition condition is a condition for adding a special action value for the player character, the enemy character who performed the action, the player character who received the attack action, and the enemy character. The coefficient and the point are numerical values for calculating the addition action value, and are added to and multiplied by the basic value corresponding to the action described above.

  Specifically, as an addition condition related to HP, the current current state corresponding to a character (including a player character and an enemy character) that has performed an action and a character (including a player character and an enemy character) that has received an attacking action is included. When the HP is 1/5 or more of the maximum value of HP (referred to as HPMAX in the figure), the HP coefficient is “1.0”, and when the HP coefficient is less than 1/5, the HP coefficient is “2”. .0 ". As will be described in detail later, a larger addition action value is calculated and added as a special action value to a character with a small current HP. This makes it possible to select a strategic behavior mode in which HP is not frequently recovered, and to improve the interest in the game.

  Further, as an addition condition related to the SP, the current SP corresponding to the character (including the player character) who performed the action or the character (including the player character) who received the attacking action is “5” or more, or SP coefficient is “1.0” when the maximum value of SP (shown as SPMAX in the figure) is equal to or larger than “1.0”, less than “5”, and the maximum value of SP (in the figure) SP coefficient is “2.0” when it is less than ¼ of SPMAX.) As will be described in detail later, a larger addition action value is calculated for a character with a small current SP. As a result, it is possible to select a strategic behavior mode in which the SP is not frequently recovered, thereby improving the interest of the game.

  Further, as an addition condition related to the special action value, the current special action value corresponding to the character (including the player character) who performed the action or the character (including the player character) who received the attack action is “0”. The special action value coefficient is “1.0” when it is “100” to “100”, and the special action value coefficient is “0.6” when it is greater than “100” and less than or equal to “200”. For example, if the current special action value is “99”, the special action value coefficient until “100” is “1.0”, and the special action value coefficient after “100” is “0.6”. As will be described in detail later, a larger addition action value is calculated and added as a special action value to a character with a small special action value at present. As a result, it is possible to avoid a state where the special action value is extremely small or a state where the special action value is very large, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  Further, as an addition condition related to the number of linked hits, when a character (including a player character) performs an attacking action, the attacking action is continuously performed with a combo and a double combo before the character performs the attacking action. When the linked hit number is “0” to “9”, the linked hit number coefficient is “1.0”, and when “10” to “19”, the linked hit number coefficient is “1. When it is “25” and “20” or more, the cooperation hit number coefficient is “1.5”. For example, if an attack action (combo, double combo, etc.) of 18 hits is performed by two characters in a combo before the character that performs the attack action, the combined hit for the character currently performing the attack action The number coefficient is “1.25”. When the attack behavior of the character is 4 hits and the combo continues, the number of linked hits in the combo is 22 hits, and the linked hit number coefficient for the next character is “1.5”. As will be described in detail later, a larger addition action value is calculated and added as a special action value to a character having a large number of linked hits. This makes it possible to select a strategic action mode such as increasing the number of linked hits, and to improve the interest of the game. Moreover, you may change an addition action value with the compatibility information of the characters which performed the combo and the double combo.

  In addition, as an addition condition related to the attack attribute, when a character (including a player character) performs an attack action, the attack action of the character matches the attack attribute of the character receiving the attack action. If the attack attribute coefficient is “1.5” and they do not match, the attack attribute coefficient is “1.0”. As will be described in detail later, a larger added action value is calculated and added as a special action value for characters having the same attack attribute. Thereby, based on the attribute corresponding to an enemy character, an addition action value can be increased / decreased, and the interest with respect to a game can be improved by providing a strategic game. In the present embodiment, the attack attribute coefficient is increased when the own attack attribute matches the attribute of the character under attack. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the weak attribute of the character under attack The attack attribute coefficient may be increased when the self-attack attribute matches the self-attack attribute coefficient, and the attack attribute coefficient may be decreased when the resistance attribute of the character under attack matches the self-attack attribute.

  Further, as an addition condition related to the hit mode, when a character (including a player character) performs an action, if the action of the character is a hit (all hits) in all actions, the hit mode point is If it is “+1.0” and one action out of all possible actions is a mistake (1 miss), the hit mode point is “−0.5” and a mistake occurs in two actions ( 2), the hit aspect point is “−1.0”, and when the action is 3 or more times (3 misses or more), the hit aspect point is “−2.0”. For example, in the case of the action order of a character capable of four actions, the first action becomes a mistake (miss in the first timing area) according to the first action operation, and the second to fourth action operations Regardless of the above, when the second to fourth actions result in a mistake, the result is a fourth mistake and it is determined that there are three or more mistakes. As will be described in detail later, a larger addition action value is calculated and added as a special action value to a character in a hit mode with few mistakes. As a result, it becomes possible to select a strategic behavior mode that makes the user aware of the risk of mistakes and reduces the risk, and the interest of making all hits increases, and the interest of the game can be improved. .

  An addition action value is calculated based on the coefficients and points determined based on such an addition condition and the basic value corresponding to the action described above. Specifically, the addition action value of the player character that has executed the attack action is (basic value × HP coefficient × SP coefficient × special action value coefficient × cooperation hit coefficient × attack attribute coefficient × attack of the attack action currently performed) (Number) + hit aspect points. Further, the addition action value of the player character that has received the attack action is calculated by basic value × HP coefficient × SP coefficient × special action value coefficient × the number of hits of the attack action currently received. Further, the additional action value of the enemy character that has executed the attack action is calculated by basic value (turn) × HP coefficient × special action value coefficient. Further, the additional action value of the enemy character that has received the attack action is calculated by basic value (damage) × HP coefficient × special action value coefficient. In the present embodiment, the addition action value is changed according to the addition condition as described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the addition action value may be changed depending on other conditions depending on other conditions. Good.

[Hit attribute table]
Further, the RAM 23 described above stores a game program in the DVD-ROM 31 and data relating to hit attributes corresponding to the character action type based on the memory card 32. A hit attribute table storing such data will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram of a hit attribute table.

  The hit attribute table positioned in the RAM 23 is a table for determining whether or not an action corresponding to the action type can be executed. Whether or not the hit attribute can be executed is determined by the posture of a character (for example, an enemy character) that is an action target (attack action target). In the hit attribute table, hit attributes and hit conditions are associated with each other.

  Specifically, when the hit attribute is the entire pair, the possibility of hit is associated with all positions. When the hit attribute is ground, there is a possibility of a hit with the ground posture, and no hit is associated with the air posture. When the hit attribute is anti-air, there is a match between the ground posture and no hit, and the anti-air posture and the possibility of hit. When the hit attribute is anti-low, the ground posture is associated with no hit with an anti-air posture up to level 1 and no hit with an anti-air with height level 2 or higher. Thus, the action type may not be selectable depending on the posture of the character to be acted on. In the present embodiment, the action type cannot be selected depending on the character's posture. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the action type may be selectable so that the actual action does not succeed.

[Damage attribute table]
Further, the RAM 23 described above stores a game program in the DVD-ROM 31 and data relating to damage attributes corresponding to the character action type based on the memory card 32. A damage attribute table in which such data is stored will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram of a damage attribute table.

  The damage attribute table positioned in the RAM 23 is a table for determining the state of the action target character (such as posture) after the action corresponding to the action type. In the damage attribute table, a damage attribute and an effect are associated with each other in the damage attribute table.

  Specifically, when the damage attribute is standard, the height level current status maintenance is associated. If the damage attribute is a hard hit, the combo unconditional end, additional damage is present, the special action value of the character of the attack action is -50, the special action value of the character of the attack action target is -100, the height level Is associated with 0. Further, when the damage attribute is a high angle, an anti-air posture (height level + 1) is associated. Further, when the damage attribute is knockdown, the ground posture (current height level + 1 or higher and 0) is associated. Thus, the state of the character that is the action target can be varied depending on the action type.

[Display screen]
Next, a specific example of the display screen displayed on the display 16 according to the game content executed by the CPU 21 based on the game program recorded on the DVD-ROM 31 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  When the DVD-ROM 31 is loaded in the DVD-ROM drive 29 and the apparatus main body 1 is turned on, “Opening Demo” is displayed on the display 16. The “opening demo” is an effect display indicating the start of the game. After the “opening demo” is displayed for a predetermined time, as shown in FIG. 26 (1), a “title screen” in which the game title is drawn is displayed.

  Specifically, the characters of the game title “SHADOW HEARTS” are displayed, and two selection items (“NEW GAME” and “CONTINUE”) are displayed below. Further, the cursor 41 is displayed at the left position of the selection item “NEW GAME” or “CONTINUE”, and the position of the cursor 41 is switched by the operation of the up button 7 or the down button 8 by the player. When the circle button 12 is operated by the player, the selection item indicated by the cursor 41 is selected.

  When “NEW GAME” is selected on the “title screen”, the prologue and game contents are displayed, and then “world map” is displayed as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when “CONTINUE” is selected on the “title screen”, the “world map” is displayed based on the save data at the end of the previous game without displaying the prologue and game contents. .

  Specifically, on this “world map”, major cities of “Country A” that is the stage of the game story are displayed, and selection items (“city A” 42a, “city B”) indicated by five city names are displayed. 42b, "City C" 42c, "City D" 42d, "City E" 42e) are displayed. These are selection items for shifting to a “submap” prepared in advance. The cursor 41 indicating each selection item is moved by the operation of the up button 7 or the down button 8 by the player, and one selection item is selected by the operation of the circle button 12 by the player. When the “submap” is selected in this way, the screen shifts to a screen for each “submap” and various games set according to the “submap” can be played. Specifically, the scene inside each city is pre-rendered and displayed as a background image in accordance with the scene development, and the player character and other players capture various events while moving through the scene, and the story progresses.

  On the “world map”, when the player operates the □ button 14, a “menu screen” is displayed, and the player can perform various settings on the “menu screen”. In addition, when a city is selected while the “world map” is displayed, a start screen of a “submap” corresponding to the city is displayed. The action on the “submap” can be an action such as a player character walking, talking to a passerby, or shopping.

  In the game according to the present embodiment, a player character that acts based on the player's operation and an enemy character that acts based only on the game program appear, and a game that develops centering on the battle between the two characters. This is realized on the display 16. In the present embodiment, four player characters, ie, a player character A111, a player character B112, a player character C113, and a player character D114 (both see FIG. 27 (1)) appear, and the game is the four characters. It shall act in the party unit formed. Various statuses are set in advance for each character. In this status, an experience value, possession money, weapons, ability, etc., which are added depending on the number of games, the number of times of defeating enemy characters, and the like are determined.

[Display battle scenes]
Thereafter, when the party of the player character that started the action on the “submap” encounters an enemy character, a battle with the enemy character is started as shown in FIG. In this case, for example, a battle with three enemy characters, the enemy character a115, the enemy character b116, and the enemy character c117, is started.

  In such a battle screen, the action order of all the characters (including the player character and the enemy character) is determined, and the action is selected and controlled according to the action order.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 27 (1), the battle between the player character A111, the player character B112, the player character C113, and the player character D114, the enemy character a115, the enemy character b116, and the enemy character c117 is started. . In addition, as shown in FIG. 27A, a predicted action order image 118 is displayed at the upper part of the screen. In addition, an action character image 119 indicating the character in the action order is displayed.

  When the player character A111 becomes an action character according to the action order, an action selection screen is displayed as shown in FIG. A type of action is selected.

  In this action selection screen, a cooperation type command for selecting any one of a normal attack, a combo attack, a double attack, and a double combo attack, a command menu 44 for inputting an attack type command in the cooperation type, A cursor for selecting a command, a player character status 46 indicating the name of the player character, HP, MP, SP, and the like, an action order image 118 indicating the order in which actions on the player character and the enemy character are executed, and an action order. An action character image 119 or the like indicating a character is displayed.

  In particular, a special action value gauge indicating a special action value is displayed below the player character status 46. The special action gauge has an upper limit of “100”. Further, the numerical value (stock number) displayed in a circle on the right side of the player character status 46 is information on the special action value, and when the special action value becomes “100”, “1” is added, The special action value gauge is displayed as “0”. The special action value has an upper limit of “200”. By this special action value, a combo attack, a double attack, a double combo attack, etc. can be selected.

  Then, the action type in the normal attack is selected, and as shown in FIG. 28A, the action target selection screen is displayed, and the action target of the player character A111 in the action type is selected. Then, as shown in FIG. 28 (2), the judgment ring screen is displayed, the judgment ring 100 and the rotation bar 101 are displayed, and the success or failure of the action, the effect of the action, etc. are determined based on the operation of the controller 4. . The judgment ring will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS.

  Then, based on the action type, action target, action success / failure, action effect, etc. of the player character A111 selected and determined based on the operation of the controller 4, FIG. 29 (1) and FIG. 29 (2). As shown, the action effect screen of the player character A111 is displayed.

[Display Combo]
In particular, in the above-described action selection screen, when a combo attack is selected as shown in FIG. 30 (1) and an action target is selected as described above, a shortcut is shown as shown in FIG. 30 (2). Whether or not to use the function can be selected according to the operation of the controller 4. As will be described in detail later, this shortcut function is a function that improves the operability when executing a combo. In this shortcut function selection screen, when it is selected that the shortcut function is not used, the judgment ring screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 31 (1), as in the normal attack described above, and the judgment ring 100, The rotation bar 101 is displayed, and the success or failure of the action, the effect of the action, etc. are determined based on the operation of the controller 4. In this case, when all the timing areas are hit (hit), the combo ring 105 is rotated and displayed as shown in FIG. In this combo ring 105, an operation button image 106 indicating a button to be operated is drawn so as to be visible and hidden on one side of the rotationally displayed combo ring, and is drawn within a predetermined period in accordance with an operation signal from the controller 4. Whether or not the combo is established is determined depending on whether or not the same button as the operated operation button image 106 is operated.

  When the combo is not established, a combo break occurs, and the action of the character (including the player character and the enemy character) in the next action order can be executed. On the other hand, when the combo is established, a combo character selection screen for selecting a character to be connected next is displayed as shown in FIG. 32 (1). ), An action selection screen for the selected character is displayed. Thus, as shown in FIGS. 30 to 32, when it is selected that the shortcut function is not used, there is a special action value, and it hits in all timing areas in the judgment ring 100 and succeeds in the combo ring. By doing so, the actions of a plurality of player characters can be related and executed without being bound by the action order.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 33 (1), when the shortcut function is selected, the display does not proceed to display the judgment ring, the combo ring, etc., as shown in FIG. 33 (2). A combo character selection screen for selecting a character to which the combo is connected is displayed. When a character is selected, an action selection screen for the selected character is displayed, and a screen for selecting whether or not the combo is finished is displayed as shown in FIG. In this case, when it is selected that the combo is finished, the combo by these two characters is executed. On the other hand, when it is selected that the combo is not finished, a combo character selection screen for selecting the character to be connected next is displayed as shown in FIG. When a character is selected, an action selection screen for the selected character is displayed, and a screen for selecting whether or not the combo is finished is displayed as shown in FIG. In this case, when it is selected that the combo is finished, the combo by these three characters is executed. On the other hand, when it is selected that the combo is not finished, a combo character selection screen for selecting a character to be connected next is displayed. When a character is selected, an action selection screen for the selected character is displayed. As shown in FIG. 35 (2), a screen for selecting whether or not the combo is finished is displayed. In this case, when it is selected that the combo is finished, the combo by these four characters is executed.

  When the shortcut function is used in this way, for example, when performing a combo attack by four characters, the judgment ring 100 is displayed as shown in FIG. The number of timing areas in the judgment ring 100 is the same as the number of characters performing the combo attack. Specifically, when a combo (shortcut) by four characters is selected, four timing areas are displayed. Timing area is set. These four timing areas correspond to the success or failure of the action of the character. In the first timing area, the success or failure of the first character in the first timing area, or success or failure of the second character in the second timing area. The success or failure of the third character is determined in the timing area of the eye, and the success or failure of the fourth character is determined in the timing area of the fourth. For this reason, for example, if the first timing area is successful but the second timing area is not successful, the combo attack of the third and subsequent characters is not executed and is controlled as having not been performed. The For example, if the fourth timing area is successful, the attacking action of the first character is executed as shown in FIG. 36 (2), and then the second person is executed as shown in FIG. 37 (1). The attack behavior of the third character, the attack behavior of the third character, and the attack behavior of the fourth character are executed as shown in FIG.

[Display of double and double combo]
Further, in the above-described action selection screen, when a double attack is selected as shown in FIG. 38 (1), or when a double combo attack is selected as shown in FIG. 38 (2), A plurality of types (for example, two) of actions to be executed by the character can be selected. Thus, when a plurality of types of action types are selected and the action target corresponding to them is selected, a judgment ring is displayed as shown in FIG. 39, and based on the result, FIG. ) And FIG. 40 (2), a double attack in which a plurality of types of actions are executed by one character is executed. In this double attack and double combo attack, a plurality of judgment rings corresponding to a plurality of action types are combined, and one judgment ring is displayed as shown in FIG. In the double combo attack, there is no shortcut function as described above, and the judgment ring and combo ring are displayed as in FIGS. 31 and 32, and the success or failure of the combo is determined based on the result. It becomes.

  As described above, the results and progress of a plurality of actions based on a plurality of action types selected based on the operation signal are determined based on the operation signals in a manner of determining the results and progress of a smaller number of actions than the plurality of actions. A plurality of action controls based on the results and progress of the determined actions are executed according to the action order of the plurality of characters. Accordingly, the determination result corresponding to at least one of the plurality of action types can be determined by the number of times less than the number of times the plurality of action types are selected, and the complicated determination aspect Can be simplified, and it is possible to execute the action smoothly, and to prevent the game from becoming less interesting.

[Display energy drain]
In addition, among the action types as described above, there are player characters whose states can be changed by blood sucking (energy drain) from enemy characters. Specifically, the player character B112 will be described below as a character capable of energy draining.

  As shown in FIG. 41 (1), the player character B112 is a pink bat (pink bat) in a normal state. As shown in FIG. 41 (2), the player character B112 can execute energy drain on the enemy character. In this case, the player character B112 takes the calorie preset for the enemy character and sets it as its own calorie. As a result, the player character B112 has +20 calories as shown in FIG. Depending on the calorie of the player character B112, as shown in FIG. 42 (1), the player character B112 is in a slim state with excellent magic ability, or as shown in FIG. Or changed to various states.

  Thus, based on the operation signal from the operation means, on the condition that the action mode of the player character with respect to the enemy character is selected, the specific data corresponding to the enemy character is added to the player character state data. The state of the player character is changed based on the added result. Therefore, since the player character's action mode for the enemy character is selected based on the operation signal from the operation means, the player intentionally adds the player character state data according to the action mode for the enemy character. Can be done. Furthermore, in order to add the specific data corresponding to the enemy character that is the target of the action mode, for example, specific data having different specific data depending on the type of the enemy character is added. For this reason, it is possible to arbitrarily and easily change the state of the player character while executing an action on the enemy character.

[Status display]
When the menu is displayed outside the battle scene, the status of the player character is displayed as shown in FIG. 43 (1). Such status display can be divided into a battle group participating in the battle scene and a standby group not participating in the battle scene. The status of battle group characters classified as battle groups is displayed in the first display area 16a, and the status of standby group characters classified as standby groups is displayed in the second display area 16b. Further, the item data corresponding to each player character is different between the first display area 16a and the second display area 16b, and the status of the battle group character is larger than the status of the standby group character. Is done.

  Specifically, the name, level, maximum HP, HP, maximum MP, MP, number of combo gauge stock, and level-up conditions are displayed as display items for characters classified in the battle group. Names, levels, HP, MP, and combo gauge stock numbers are displayed as display items for the characters to be classified. As described above, the display items of the battle group are larger than the display items of the standby group.

  Thus, the 1st display area which displays the item data corresponding to the 1st character classified into the 1st group, and the 2nd which displays the item data corresponding to the 2nd character classified into the 2nd group The number of item data differs depending on the display area. Accordingly, the item data to be displayed can be made different depending on the character type, state, etc., such as the first character and the second character, and a plurality of item data can be displayed in a display mode in which the display area is effectively used. it can. For this reason, item data that does not need to be different depending on the character type and the character state can be omitted, and can be displayed in a more easily visible display mode.

  In addition, when the action control of the first character is performed based on the number of item data larger than that of the second character, the first character is displayed in the first display area with the number of item data larger than that of the second display area. The item data corresponding to is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to display more item data for a character whose behavior is controlled based on a relatively large number of item data, and item data that does not need to be different depending on the character type and the character state. It can be omitted, and can be displayed in a display mode that is easier to visually recognize.

  Furthermore, these battle groups can be changed according to the operation of the controller 4, and various groupings such as the battle group shown in FIG. 43 (1) and the battle group shown in FIG. 43 (2) are possible. It is. In particular, as shown in FIG. 43 (2), the battle group corresponding to team C is stored, and as shown in FIG. 44 (1), the battle group corresponding to team B is stored. As shown, the battle group corresponding to team A is stored. Then, according to the operation of the controller 4, any one of the plurality of teams is selected, so that the battle group and the standby group are classified. That is, one of a plurality of grouping patterns is selected based on an operation signal from the controller 4, and based on the selected grouping pattern, a plurality of characters are converted into a battle group (first group) and a standby group (first group). Two groups).

  In this way, a plurality of grouping patterns of a plurality of characters are stored, one of the plurality of grouping patterns is selected, and the plurality of characters are classified into a first group and a second group based on the selected grouping pattern. To do. Therefore, one of a plurality of grouping patterns can be selected, and the group can be easily and smoothly classified according to the character's ability and state, the progress of the game, etc. Can enjoy.

[Magic plate, magic stone setting display]
When the menu is displayed and the magic system is selected, as shown in FIGS. 45 (1) and 45 (2), screens related to various magic plates set for the character A are displayed. The Each of these magic plates can be set with a magic stone. As shown in FIGS. 45 (1) and 45 (2), a constellation image 47 indicating a constellation is displayed on the magic plate. In the constellation image 47, a plurality of types of star regions such as circles, triangles, and diamonds are displayed. In addition, levels are set in these star areas, and areas of sizes corresponding to the levels are set. In addition, attributes such as fire and water are set in these star regions. Further, as shown in FIG. 47 (1) and FIG. 48 (1), the cursor 48 is moved according to the operation of the controller 4, and the shape type, size, attribute, etc. in the star region designated by the cursor 48 are A region information image 49 is displayed. A magic stone can be attached to these star regions by operating the controller 4. That is, the plurality of types of magic plates correspond to an example of a plurality of types of additional ability data determination means that differ in at least one of the number of star regions (regions), the size of the star region shape, and the type of star region shape. .

  One magic plate can be set for one character. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 46 (1), one of these plural types of magic plates is associated with the character in accordance with the operation of the controller 4. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 46 (1), a magic plate of Capricorn has been set for the character A111. However, according to the operation of the controller 4, as shown in FIG. Taurus magic plate is set. That is, one of a plurality of types of magic plates as a plurality of types of additional ability data determination means is selected and set in association with the character.

  Furthermore, a magic stone can be set in these areas for these plural types of magic plates. The magic stone is an ability object for determining additional ability data to be added to character data. Also, magic stones have the same types of shapes as circles, triangles, rhombuses, etc., the size corresponding to the level, attributes such as fire, water, etc. As shown in FIG. 48 (1), a magic stone shape image 50 showing them is displayed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 47 (1), a magic stone called a red cradle having a triangular shape, a fire attribute, and a level (size) of 3 is shown in FIG. As shown, there are various magic stones, such as a magic stone called Red Blaze, which has a triangular shape, a fire attribute, and a level (size) of 2.

  Further, the magic stones can be set to star regions of the same shape and the same size or larger. As a specific example, a magic stone whose shape type is a triangle and whose size is 3 or less (1, 2, or 3) is set in a star region whose shape type is a triangle and whose size is 3. It becomes possible. That is, as shown in FIG. 47 (1), when the star region designated by the cursor 48 has a triangle shape type and a size (level) of 3, As shown in FIG. 47 (2), a magic stone called red cradle with a level of 3 can be set in the star region, and a magic stone called red blaze with a level of 2 is shown in FIG. As shown in 2), it can be set in the star region. When a magic stone is set as an area, the set magic stone shape image 50 is displayed instead of the area information image 49.

  In addition, the larger the size of such a magic stone, the more advantageous the result corresponding to the action. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 47 (2), when a magic stone called red cradle having a size of 3 is set, the damage corresponding to the attack action increases by 20% and the consumed MP is 1 / 4, but as shown in FIG. 48 (2), when the above-mentioned magic stone called Red Blaze with level 2 is set, the damage corresponding to the attack action increases by 10%, The consumed MP is 1/5. In other words, additional ability data for changing the rate of increase / decrease of the character data with respect to the character's action mode is stored corresponding to the area, and the additional ability corresponding to the area is set on condition that the ability object is set to the area. The data is determined as additional ability data to be added to the character data. Therefore, since the additional ability data for changing the rate of increase / decrease of the character data with respect to the character's action mode is set, the rate of increase / decrease of the character data with respect to the character's behavior mode can be changed. And the interest in the game can be improved. In the present embodiment, the additional ability data (for example, the damage corresponding to the attack action is increased by 20%, the consumption MP is ¼, the damage corresponding to the attack action is increased by 10%, and the consumption is increased. If the magic stone is set in the star area of the magic plate, the additional ability data corresponding to the magic stone is equipped with the magic plate. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the additional ability data is associated with the star area itself on the magic plate, and is added to the character data by setting a magic stone. May be. Of course, the additional ability data may be associated with the magic stone itself and also with the star region itself on the magic plate.

  In this way, control is performed to display the shape area and ability object shape corresponding to the type of additional ability data, and the ability object corresponding to the shape in that area is set in that area. The additional power data corresponding to the object type is determined as additional power data to be added to the character data. Accordingly, the additional ability data corresponding to the ability object is determined by the correspondence between the shape of the area and the shape of the ability object, so that any player can easily recognize the correspondence, and the player character can be easily recognized. Can be customized, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  In addition, a plurality of types of additional power data, each of which is different in at least one of the number of regions, the size of the region shape, and the type of the region shape, and any one of them is set in association with the character. Further, the ability of the character is determined based on the character data and the additional ability data related to the set character. Therefore, since the additional power data in the additional power data determining means can be customized for each character, it is possible to diversify the additional power data of the character and improve the interest in the game.

  Further, such a region is in a magic plate editable state when a predetermined money is possessed in the magic plate arrangement store, and the shape type, size, attribute, etc. thereof can be changed. Therefore, since it becomes relatively advantageous for the character according to the size of the ability object, the size of the area can be changed and a more advantageous ability object can be set, so that the player character can be customized, The interest can be improved. Further, since the additional ability data is determined in accordance with the size of the ability object associated with the area, the ability object size can be easily recognized by any player, and the player character can be easily customized. It is possible to improve the interest of the game. Further, the type of additional ability data can be easily changed, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  Also, by selecting all reset, as shown in FIG. 49 (1), a selection screen is displayed as to whether or not to reset all of the magic plate and magic stone settings. In this case, as shown in FIG. 49 (2), the magic plate and magic stone settings are all reset.

[Operation of game device]
Various processes executed in the above-described configuration will be described below with reference to FIGS.

[Main game processing]
As described above, when the DVD-ROM 31 is loaded in the DVD-ROM drive 29 while the apparatus main body 1 is powered on, “Opening Demo” is displayed on the display 16, and the main game as shown in FIG. Processing will be executed.

  First, as shown in FIG. 50, it is determined whether “NEW GAME” is selected from two selection items on the “title screen” as shown in FIG. 26A (ST1). When this determination is “YES”, the prologue and game contents are displayed (ST2). When “NO”, that is, when it is determined that “CONTINUE” is selected on the “title screen”, the prologue and the game content are displayed. The save data at the end of the previous game is set without displaying the game content (ST3).

  Next, the “world map” shown in FIG. 26 (2) is displayed (ST4). Then, it is determined whether any of the selection items displayed on the “world map” is selected (ST5). When this determination is “YES”, a start screen of the “submap” corresponding to the selection is displayed. The party of the player character starts an action on the “submap” (ST6). On the other hand, when the determination in ST5 is “NO”, it is determined whether or not there is a display request for “menu screen” by operating the □ button 14 on the “world map” (ST20). When this determination is “YES”, a “menu screen” is displayed and various setting processes are performed in accordance with the player's operation (ST21), and then the process proceeds to ST5. Incidentally, the various setting processes will be described in detail later, but the magic plate setting process shown in FIG. 70, the magic plate editing process shown in FIG. 71, the grouping process shown in FIG. 72, and the group selection process shown in FIG. 74 includes the status display control process shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the determination in ST20 is “NO”, the process is moved again to ST5. Here, the action on the “submap” is an action such as a player character walking, talking to a passer-by, or shopping. In addition, the “menu screen” can be displayed on the “submap” by operating the □ button 14 and various operations can be performed (various setting processes as described above can be executed). For example, by selecting the “tool” command, the tool command process is executed and the ability of the player character can be restored. By selecting the “buy and sell” command, the buy and sell process is executed and Trading is possible.

  Next, it is determined whether the party of the player character that started the action on the “submap” has encountered an enemy character (ST7), and when this determination is “YES”, “battle processing” is started (ST8). . When the “battle process” is started, the process proceeds to a “battle scene” where a battle between the party of the player character and the enemy character is performed. This “battle processing” will be described later with reference to FIG. On the other hand, if the determination in ST7 is “NO”, it is determined whether any event has occurred (ST9). If this determination is “YES”, the process moves to ST16, and if “NO”, the process moves to ST6 again.

  In addition, CPU21 which performs a battle process will perform the determination of an action result and progress, and action control of a character according to the determined action order of several characters. In other words, the CPU 21 executes the selection of the character action mode and the character action control in accordance with the determined action order of the plurality of characters. In addition, when such a combo (character action association mode), double (character composite action mode), double combo (character composite action association mode), or the like is selected as the character action mode, Until the next action mode is selected, character behavior control based on the combo (character behavior association mode), double (character composite behavior mode), double combo (character composite behavior association mode), etc. is executed. It will be. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a special character action control means.

  Next, in the “battle scene” executed by the “battle process”, it is determined whether the party of the player character has successfully escaped from the enemy character (ST10). When this determination is “YES”, the process moves to ST16, and on the other hand, when the escape from the enemy character fails or when the battle with the enemy character is performed, the party of the player character becomes the enemy in the “battle scene”. It is determined whether or not the character is won (ST11). When this determination is “YES”, that is, when the party of the player character wins the enemy character, experience points, soul points, etc. for each character of the party according to the type of battled enemy character and the content of the battle. Are added or items, money, etc. are given (ST12). And the level of the said character is raised according to the experience value of each character (ST13). On the other hand, when the determination in ST11 is “NO”, that is, when the party of the player character cannot win the enemy character, it is determined whether or not all the party of the player character has died (ST14). When this determination is “YES”, the game is over (ST15), the main game process is terminated, and when it is “NO”, the process proceeds to ST16.

  In ST16, a movie corresponding to the situation is displayed, and then it is determined whether the request condition of the selected submap has been cleared (ST17). When this determination is “NO”, the process proceeds to ST6 again, and when “YES”, it is determined whether or not to move to the ending (ST18). When this determination is “YES”, a predetermined ending display is performed (ST19), and this main game process is ended. On the other hand, when the determination in ST18 is “NO”, the process is moved again to ST4.

[Battle processing]
The “battle processing” described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 51, a parameter relating to a character is set, a turn interval value is calculated, and a setting process is executed (ST30). In this process, the CPU 21 reads out the parameters relating to the characters from the predetermined areas of the RAM 23 and DVD-ROM 31 and sets them on the predetermined areas of the RAM 23. Here, the characters correspond to a plurality of characters including a player character and an enemy character that appear in the “battle scene”. The turn interval value is a value for determining the action order, and is calculated for each of a plurality of characters (including player characters and enemy characters). The turn interval value is determined according to the quickness (AGL) and luck (LUC) set for each of the plurality of characters and the execution command correction value corresponding to the command type to be executed. Then, the CPU 21 sets the turn interval value calculated for each of the plurality of characters to appear in the “battle scene” on a predetermined area of the RAM 23. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of the character action order determination means which determines the action order of a some character. If this process ends, the process moves to ST31.

  In ST31, a battle scene start screen of “battle scene” as shown in FIG. 27 (1) is displayed. On this start screen, a party of player characters (player character A111, player character B112, player character C113, and player character D114) is displayed in front. In addition, enemy characters (for example, enemy character a115, enemy character b116, and enemy character c117) are displayed at positions corresponding to the player characters on the opposite side of the player characters. Further, although display is omitted in FIG. 27A, information regarding the status of the player character is displayed at the lower right position of the start screen. Furthermore, an action order image 118 in which actions on the player character and the enemy character are executed, and an action character image 119 showing the characters in the action order are displayed at the upper position of the start screen.

  In ST32, “turn order processing” is performed in order to manage the order in which actions such as attacks including the player character and the enemy character can be performed. In this process, the CPU 21 manages the turn order of characters for which command selection is valid based on the turn interval value calculated from the abilities relating to each character. Specifically, the CPU 21 determines the turn order based on the turn interval value of each character. And CPU21 validates the command selection of the character which performs action based on the determined turn order. If there is a character that can preferentially act, the command selection validation process is omitted because the command selection of the character has already been validated in ST38, which will be described later. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of the character action order determination means which determines the action order of a some character.

  Further, the CPU 21 displays an image indicating such turn order on the display 16. Further, the CPU 21 zooms up the player character (player character A111 in this case) for which command selection is enabled, and displays a “command selection screen” as shown in FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to ST33.

  In ST33, it is determined whether or not the character for which command selection is enabled in “turn order processing” is an enemy character. If “YES”, the enemy character performs an attack on the player character according to the game program. Automatic processing is performed (ST34). In this battle automatic process, the CPU 21 selects an action mode (including action type selection, action result based on action type and determination of progress) in the same manner as command selection described later. It becomes. The action type selection here means attack, magic, specific technique, item, etc., further, attack type (soft hit, normal hit, hard hit, etc.), magic type, specific technique type, item. The kind of. If this process ends, the process moves to ST36.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in ST33 that the character for which command selection is valid is a player character, “command processing” for receiving command selection by the player's operation is performed (ST35). In this process, a command is selected according to an operation input from the controller 4, and an action form based on the selected command is determined.

  On the display 16, the CPU 21 displays a command menu 44 in which commands for determining the action type of the player character A 111 are shown as selection items. Then, the CPU 21 displays the selection cursor 45 (see FIG. 27 (2), etc.) displayed on the left side of the command menu 44 (see FIG. 27 (2), etc.) with the up button 7 or down button 8 of the controller 4. When the ◯ button 12 is operated, the command whose selection cursor 45 is displayed at the left position is selected, and the action type of the player character A111 is determined. The command menu 44 displays various commands represented by “attack”, “magic”, “item”, “defense”, “escape”, and the like. Then, according to the determined action type, the result and progress of the action based on the action type are determined. In particular, in the “command processing” in the present embodiment, the judgment ring 100 is used to determine the result and progress of the action based on the action type as a process that enables technical intervention based on the operation timing of the player. Thus, CPU21 will select the action mode of a player character. Details of the “command processing” will be described later with reference to FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to ST36.

  In ST36, an action execution effect process is executed. For example, when a command for performing an attack, magic, specific technique, or item use (“action” command described later) is selected, and the result and progress of the action based on the action type are determined using the judgment ring, the player character Alternatively, a display process for performing an action on a target character such as an enemy character is executed. The player character here is one of player characters included in a battle group, which will be described later in detail with reference to FIGS. 72 and 73.

  CPU21 etc. which perform such a process will perform action control of a player character based on the action mode of the player character selected in ST35. In other words, the CPU 21 or the like that executes such processing performs player character action control based on the result and progress of the player character action determined in ST35. Moreover, CPU21 etc. which perform such a process will perform action control of an enemy character based on the action aspect of the enemy character selected in ST34. In other words, the CPU 21 or the like that executes such processing performs action control of the enemy character based on the result and progress of the action of the enemy character determined in ST34.

  That is, CPU21 etc. which perform such a process perform action control of a character (any one of several characters) based on the action mode of the character (any of several characters) selected in ST34, ST35. It will be. In other words, the CPU 21 or the like that executes such processing determines the character (any one of the plurality of characters) based on the action result and progress of the character (any one of the plurality of characters) determined in ST34 and ST35. Behavior control will be performed. In general, the CPU 21 or the like that executes such processing performs action control of a plurality of characters based on a plurality of character data stored in the RAM 23.

  In particular, the CPU 21 is not based on the character data of the player character (second character) grouped in the standby group that is not the battle group, but based on the character data of the player character (first character) grouped in the battle group. Action control of player characters grouped into battle groups is performed. In other words, the CPU 21 that executes such processing performs the first grouping in the battle group (first group) based on the number of item data more than the second character grouped in the standby group (second group). One character's action control will be performed. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of character action control means and first character action control means.

  Moreover, CPU21 which performs processes like ST34, ST35, ST36 etc. will perform the determination of an action result and progress, and action control of a character according to the determined action order of several characters. In other words, the CPU 21 executes the selection of the character action mode and the character action control in accordance with the determined action order of the plurality of characters. In addition, when such a combo (character action association mode), double (character composite action mode), double combo (character composite action association mode), or the like is selected as the character action mode, Until the next action mode is selected, character behavior control based on the combo (character behavior association mode), double (character composite behavior mode), double combo (character composite behavior association mode), etc. is executed. It will be. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a special character action control means. If this process ends, the process moves to ST37.

  In ST37, special action value update processing is executed. In this process, the CPU 21 sets the special action value associated with each character (including the player character and the enemy character) based on the action mode (behavior type, action result, and progress) selected in ST34 and ST35. Update. This special action value is a value for executing combo, double, double combo, etc. as described above. Details of the “special action value update process” will be described later with reference to FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to ST38.

  In ST38, the turn order is updated every time the character performs an action. In this process, the CPU 21 stores the character that performed the action on a predetermined area of the RAM 23 and updates the turn order of the character that performed the action. As a result, when the “turn order process” is executed again, the turn orders are compared, and the character that validates the command selection of the character that performs the action is determined.

  In particular, the CPU 21 changes the turn interval value in the character that is the target of the cooperative action (combo, double combo) selected in ST230, ST328, ST338, which will be described later.

  Specifically, the CPU 21 initializes the turn interval value in the character that is the target of the cooperative action (combo, double combo) selected in ST230, ST328, ST338, and the like. And CPU21 will add only the value based on the action classification of the combo in the turn interval value in the character used as the object of cooperation action (combo) selected in ST230. As a result, the character that is the target of the cooperative action (combo, double combo) selected in ST328, ST338 is determined in ST32, ST38, etc. as the next action order character. In addition, when double or double combo is executed, 90% of a plurality of total values corresponding to a plurality of (for example, two) action types executed by one character is added to the turn interval value. . In addition, the action order of the character that executes the cooperative action is prioritized and the action order is determined (turn order interruption). Further, the CPU 21 performs control to validate the command selection of the character determined to have priority.

  On the other hand, among the characters that are the target of the cooperative action (combo) selected in ST230, the character that has succeeded in the combo is selected by the shortcut function described later, the action type is selected, the action result and the progress are determined ( In addition, since the behavior control has already been completed, the character is determined in ST32, ST38, etc. as the character in the order in which the behavior has been completed. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of the character action order determination means which determines the action order of a some character. If this process ends, the process moves to ST39.

  In ST39, turn order update display processing is executed. In this process, the CPU 21 updates and displays the turn order for executing the action in the next turn based on the turn order updated in the process of ST38. If this process ends, the process moves to ST40.

  In ST40, it is determined whether or not the “battle process” termination condition is satisfied. If “NO”, the process returns to ST32, and if “YES”, “battle process” is terminated. Here, the “battle processing” end condition is that the enemy character appearing on the battle screen has been annihilated, the player has selected the “escape” command and succeeded in escaping from the enemy character, and the player character party has been annihilated. Or an event that ended the battle occurred.

[Special action value update processing]
The “special action value update process” described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 52, it is determined whether or not it is a predetermined action mode (ST91). The predetermined action mode in the present embodiment is an action mode of an attack action such as a physical attack, a magic attack, a special skill attack, and an item attack, but the present invention is not limited to this. In this process, if the CPU 21 determines that it is the predetermined action mode, it moves the process to ST92. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 determines that it is not the predetermined behavior mode, it moves the process to ST97.

  In ST92, an additional action value for the attacked character is calculated. Subsequently, in ST93, an additional action value for the attacked character is calculated. In these processes, the CPU 21 refers to the addition action value calculation table (see FIG. 12), and calculates the addition action value for the attacked character and the addition action value for the attacked character.

  Specifically, the CPU 21 refers to the addition action value calculation table (see FIG. 12), and determines whether or not the addition condition is successful based on HP, SP, special action value, number of linked hits, attack attribute, hit mode, and the like. judge. Then, when the player character executes an attacking action, the CPU 21 adds (basic value × HP coefficient × SP coefficient × special action value coefficient × cooperation hit coefficient × attack attribute coefficient × current attribute value) as an additional action value for the player character. The value calculated by (the number of hits of currently performed attack action) + hit mode points is temporarily stored in the RAM 23. Further, when the player character has received an attacking action, the CPU 21 has a basic value × HP coefficient × SP coefficient × special action value coefficient × the number of hits of the attacking action currently received as an additional action value for the player character. The calculated value is temporarily stored in the RAM 23. In addition, when an enemy character performs an attacking action, the CPU 21 temporarily stores a value calculated by a basic value (turn) × HP coefficient in the RAM 23 as an additional action value for the enemy character. Further, when the enemy character receives an attacking action, the CPU 23 temporarily stores the value calculated by the basic value (damage) × HP coefficient in the RAM 23 as the additional action value for the enemy character. That is, the CPU 21 or the RAM 23 that executes such processing stores an action value that changes based on the action control performed for each of the plurality of characters. The CPU 21 and the RAM 23 that execute such processing correspond to an example of character data storage means. If these processes are finished, the process moves to ST94.

  In this way, the action value that changes based on the action control that has been performed is stored for each of the plurality of characters, and the character action related to the character action in the subsequent order on the condition that the action value becomes a predetermined value. The association mode can be selected. When the character behavior association mode is selected as the character behavior mode, the character behavior control based on the character behavior association mode is executed until the next behavior mode selection of the character. Therefore, it is possible to select the character behavior association mode related to the character behavior in the subsequent order according to the behavior value that changes based on the performed behavior control without selecting a behavior mode such as moving the character. In addition to being able to move smoothly, and without diluting the presence of character behavior-related aspects, to improve the interest of the game by diversifying the choice of behavioral aspects, selecting strategic behavioral aspects, etc. Can do.

  Moreover, in order to increase an action value (special action value) by performing an attack action or receiving an attack action, the attack action can be performed strategically and positively, and the improvement with respect to the game is improved. Can be planned. In addition, since the action value (special action value) is increased by receiving the attacking action, even if the attacking action is received, it does not simply reduce the interest in the game, but strategically and actively. By participating in the game, it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

  In ST94, the calculated addition action value is added to the special action value. In this process, the CPU 21 adds the addition action value calculated in ST93 and ST94 to the special action value corresponding to the character. If this process ends, the process moves to ST95.

  In ST95, it is determined whether or not the runaway is in progress. In this process, if it is determined that the SP is 0 and the runaway is in progress, the CPU 21 initializes the special action value for the character in the runaway (ST96), and moves the process to ST97. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 determines that SP is 0 and it is not running out of control, the process proceeds to ST97 without executing ST96.

  In this embodiment, once a runaway state occurs, all command operations are not accepted, but only some commands may be accepted under predetermined conditions. For example, only the “item” command is accepted, but it is not known to whom the selected “item” is used, or the “fight” command is accepted once every three turns. Further, the player character runs away when “SP = 0”, and the player character may return to normal over time instead of continuing to runaway.

  In ST97, it is determined whether or not a special action value subtraction condition is satisfied. In this process, the CPU 21 refers to the special action table (see FIG. 11), and based on the action mode (behavior type, result of action based on the action type and progress) selected in ST35, the special action value subtraction condition It will be determined whether or not is established.

  When determining that the special action value subtraction condition is satisfied, the CPU 21 subtracts the special action value of the predetermined character (ST98). Specifically, when the combo is selected as the action type and the combo is established in ST35, the CPU 21 stores the special action value corresponding to the character for which the combo is established by decreasing by 100. Will be. In other words, the CPU 21 or the RAM 23 that executes such a process sets the special action value (action value) to the specified value (action value) when the character action association mode (combo selection and combo establishment) is selected in ST35. The special action value is reduced to a value (decreased by 100) and stored (decreased by 100).

  In addition, when the double is selected as the action type in ST35 and the double is established, the CPU 21 stores the special action value corresponding to the character for which the double is established by decreasing by 100. Become. In other words, the CPU 21 or the RAM 23 that executes such a process sets the special action value (action value) to the specified value (special value) when the character composite action mode (double selection and double establishment) is selected in ST35. The action value is reduced to (value reduced by 100) and stored (decreased by 100).

  In ST35, when the double combo is selected as the action type and the double combo is established in ST35, the CPU 21 stores the special action value corresponding to the character for which the double combo is established by decreasing by 200. Will be. In other words, the CPU 21 and the RAM 23 that execute such processing, when the character composite action association mode (double combo selection and double combo establishment) is selected in ST35, displays the special action value (action value). The value is reduced to a specified value (a value obtained by reducing the special action value by 200) (stored by 200) and stored. In other words, the CPU 21 or the RAM 23 that executes such processing stores an action value that changes based on the action control performed for each of the plurality of characters. The CPU 21 and the RAM 23 that execute such processing correspond to an example of character data storage means. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In this way, the action value that changes based on the action control that has been performed is stored for each of the plurality of characters, and the character action related to the character action in the subsequent order on the condition that the action value becomes a predetermined value. The association mode can be selected. When the character behavior association mode is selected as the character behavior mode, the character behavior control based on the character behavior association mode is executed until the next behavior mode selection of the character. Therefore, it is possible to select the character behavior association mode related to the character behavior in the subsequent order according to the behavior value that changes based on the performed behavior control without selecting a behavior mode such as moving the character. In addition to being able to move smoothly, and without diluting the presence of character behavior-related aspects, to improve the interest of the game by diversifying the choice of behavioral aspects, selecting strategic behavioral aspects, etc. Can do.

  When any one of the character behavior association mode, the character composite behavior mode, and the character composite behavior association mode is selected, the behavior value is reduced to a specified value and stored. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the behavior control based on the character behavior related mode, the character composite behavior mode, and the character composite behavior related mode from being performed easily and continuously. It is possible to improve the interest of the game by selection or the like.

  On the other hand, when determining that the special action value subtraction condition is not satisfied, the CPU 21 ends this subroutine without executing ST98. When a combo (shortcut), which will be described later, is selected, if a combo or double combo fails (combo break) on the way, the character that failed and the character that was scheduled to be executed thereafter The special action value is not subtracted, but is not limited to this. For example, only a failed character may be subtracted. For example, a special action value corresponding to all characters that are scheduled to cooperate in other combos and double combos. You may subtract action values. Also, in a double or double combo, even if double fails, the special action value corresponding to the character is not subtracted, but this is not restrictive.

[Command processing]
The above-mentioned “command processing” will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 53, it is determined whether SP is 0 or less (ST101). In this process, if the CPU 21 determines that SP is 0 or less, it executes character runaway processing (SP102). In this process, the CPU 21 invalidates the character command selection operation, the judgment ring operation, etc., and automatically determines the action type (attack, use of attack magic, use of recovery magic, etc.). To determine the result and progress of the action corresponding to the command. In this process, the character may run away and an action that is disadvantageous to the character may be selected. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 determines that SP is not 0 or less, it moves the process to ST103.

  In ST103, the CPU 21 refers to the special action value of the character. In ST104, the CPU 21 executes command operation invalidation setting processing based on the special action value of the referred character. In this process, the CPU 21 refers to the special action table (see FIG. 11), and if the special action value associated with the player character in the action order is smaller than the consumption special action value, the consumption special Control to limit the action corresponding to the action value is performed. Specifically, when the special action value of the character in the action order is less than 50, the CPU 21 performs control to limit the action of the hard hit attack, the combo attack, the double attack, and the double combo attack. Further, when the special action value of the character in the action order is less than 100, the CPU 21 performs control to restrict the action of the combo attack, the double attack, and the double combo attack. In addition, when the special action value of the character in the action order is less than 200, the CPU 21 performs control to restrict the action of the double combo attack. Further, the CPU 21 refers to the character data table (see FIG. 4), the action table (see FIG. 5), and the hit attribute table (see FIG. 13) to determine the posture (current state) of the character to be attacked and the attack action type. In the case of a posture or attack that does not necessarily hit based on the hit attribute, control is performed to limit the action, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  In this way, the action value that changes based on the action control that has been performed is stored for each of the plurality of characters, and the character action related to the character action in the subsequent order on the condition that the action value becomes a predetermined value. The association mode can be selected. When the character behavior association mode is selected as the character behavior mode, the character behavior control based on the character behavior association mode is executed until the next behavior mode selection of the character. Therefore, it is possible to select the character behavior association mode related to the character behavior in the subsequent order according to the behavior value that changes based on the performed behavior control without selecting a behavior mode such as moving the character. In addition to being able to move smoothly, and without diluting the presence of character behavior-related aspects, to improve the interest of the game by diversifying the choice of behavioral aspects, selecting strategic behavioral aspects, etc. Can do. If this process ends, the process moves to ST105.

  In ST105, the CPU 21 executes a cooperation type command reception process. Although details will be described later with reference to FIGS. 54 to 57, the CPU 21 receives a selection of a command related to an action and executes a command receiving process for determining the type of action. In this process, subroutines called for each cooperation type, such as normal, combo, double, and double combo, are different. If this process ends, the process moves to ST106.

  In ST106, the CPU 21 executes a cooperation type action result determination process. Although details will be described later with reference to FIGS. 58 to 62, the CPU 21 determines a judgment ring, and executes behavior result determination processing such as display control processing of the judgment ring and behavior determination processing based on the operation result of the judgment ring. It will be. In this process, subroutines called for each cooperation type, such as normal, combo (normal), combo (shortcut), double, and double combo, are different. Thus, CPU21 determines the action mode of a character by ST105 and ST106. If this process ends, the process moves to ST107.

  That is, the CPU 21 that executes processing such as ST105, ST106, and the like, based on the operation signal from the controller 4 and a plurality of character data (particularly, the determined player character state described later), Will be selected. Further, such a CPU 21 makes it possible to select a combo, double, etc. on the condition that the special action value becomes a predetermined value, and on the condition that the special action value becomes a specific value larger than the predetermined value. A double combo can be selected. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of a character action mode selection unit.

  In ST107, the CPU 21 executes character data update processing. In this process, the CPU 21 performs character data relating to characters (including player characters and enemy characters) such as updating of HP, MP, SP, AGL, LUC and various statuses based on the action result determined in ST106. Update. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Normal command reception processing]
The “normal command reception process” that is called when a normal command is received in the “cooperation type command reception process” described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 54, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is an action type selection operation (ST201). In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is an action type selection operation based on the operation signal from the controller 4. If it is determined that there is an action type selection operation, the CPU 21 stores the action type corresponding to the action type selection operation in the RAM 23 in correspondence with the character data related to the player character in the action order. A type selection process is executed (ST202), and the process moves to ST203. As a result, the CPU 21 selects the action type of the character based on the operation signal from the controller 4 and the plurality of character data. Further, the CPU 21 can select one action type for one character. The CPU 21 executing ST202 corresponds to an example of a character action type selection unit. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no action type selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST201 again without moving the process to ST202.

  In ST203, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is an action target selection operation. In this process, based on the operation signal from the controller 4, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is an action target selection operation for selecting an action target that is an action target based on the action type selected in ST202. . If it is determined that there is an action target selection operation, the CPU 21 stores an action target corresponding to the action target selection operation in the RAM 23 to execute an action target selection process (ST204), and ends this subroutine. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no action target selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST203 again without moving the process to ST204.

[Double command acceptance processing]
With reference to FIG. 55, the “double command reception process” that is called when a double command is received in the “cooperation type command reception process” described above will be described. Since a similar process is executed even when a double combo command is received, the double command reception process will be described as a representative, and the description of the double combo command reception process will be omitted.

  First, as shown in FIG. 55, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a first action type selection operation (ST211). In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a first action type selection operation based on an operation signal from the controller 4. When it is determined that there is a first action type selection operation, the CPU 21 corresponds to the character data related to the player character in the action order, and stores the first action type corresponding to the first action type selection operation in the RAM 23. By storing, the first action type selection process is executed (ST212), and the process proceeds to ST213. As a result, the CPU 21 selects the action type of the character based on the operation signal from the controller 4 and the plurality of character data. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no first action type selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST211 again without moving the process to ST212.

  In ST213, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a first action target selection operation. In this process, there is a first action target selection operation in which the CPU 21 selects a first action target that is an action target based on the first action type selected in ST212, based on an operation signal from the controller 4. It is determined whether or not. If the CPU 21 determines that there is a first action target selection operation, the CPU 21 stores the first action object corresponding to the first action target selection operation in the RAM 23, thereby executing the first action target selection process (ST214). ), And moves the process to ST215. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no first action target selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST213 again without moving the process to ST214.

  In ST215, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a second action type selection operation. In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a second action type selection operation based on the operation signal from the controller 4. When it is determined that there is a second action type selection operation, the CPU 21 corresponds to the character data related to the player character in the action order, and stores the second action type corresponding to the second action type selection operation in the RAM 23. By storing, the second action type selection process is executed (ST216), and the process proceeds to ST217. As a result, the CPU 21 selects the action type of the character based on the operation signal from the controller 4 and the plurality of character data. Further, the CPU 21 can select a plurality of action types for one character. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a character action type selection means. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no second action type selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST215 again without moving the process to ST216.

  In ST217, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a second action target selection operation. In this process, there is a second action target selection operation in which the CPU 21 selects a second action target that is an action target based on the second action type selected in ST216 based on the operation signal from the controller 4. It is determined whether or not. If the CPU 21 determines that there is a second action target selection operation, the CPU 21 stores the second action target corresponding to the second action target selection operation in the RAM 23, thereby executing the second action target selection process (ST218). ), This subroutine is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no second action target selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST217 again without moving the process to ST218.

[Combo command reception processing]
With reference to FIGS. 56 and 57, the “combo command reception process” that is called when a combo command is received in the “cooperation type command reception process” described above will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 56, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a first action type selection operation (ST221). In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a first action type selection operation based on an operation signal from the controller 4. When it is determined that there is a first action type selection operation, the CPU 21 corresponds to the character data related to the player character in the action order, and stores the first action type corresponding to the first action type selection operation in the RAM 23. By storing, the first action type selection process is executed (ST222), and the process proceeds to ST223. As a result, the CPU 21 selects the action type of the character based on the operation signal from the controller 4 and the plurality of character data. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no first action type selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST221 again without moving the process to ST222.

  In ST223, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a first action target selection operation. In this process, there is a first action target selection operation in which the CPU 21 selects a first action target that is an action target based on the first action type selected in ST 222 based on an operation signal from the controller 4. It is determined whether or not. If it is determined that there is a first action target selection operation, the CPU 21 stores the first action target corresponding to the first action target selection operation in the RAM 23, thereby executing the first action target selection process (ST224). ), And moves the process to ST225. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no first action target selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST223 again without moving the process to ST224.

  In ST225, the CPU 21 determines whether or not a shortcut operation valid condition is satisfied. In this process, if it is determined that the shortcut operation valid condition is satisfied, the CPU 21 turns on the shortcut flag positioned in the RAM 23 (ST226), and moves the process to ST228 in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that the shortcut operation valid condition is not satisfied, the CPU 21 turns off the shortcut flag positioned in the RAM 23 (ST227), and ends this subroutine. In the present embodiment, the shortcut operation valid condition has a special action value of 100 or more for the player character in the action order and the success / failure is determined based on the operation signal of the controller 4, but is not limited thereto. .

  Further, when it is determined that the shortcut operation valid condition is not satisfied and the shortcut flag is turned off, the CPU 21 is selected in a subsequent action character selection process (see FIG. 61) described later, and the turn order process (described above) The action type of the character determined as the action order in FIG. 51) is selected in ST222 described above. As a result, the CPU 21 selects the action type of the character based on the operation signal from the controller 4 and the plurality of character data. Further, the CPU 21 can select an action type for each of a plurality of characters. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a character action type selection means.

  In ST228 of FIG. 57, the CPU 21 determines whether or not a subsequent action invalid condition is satisfied. In this process, if the CPU 21 determines that the subsequent action invalidation condition is satisfied, this subroutine is terminated. On the other hand, when determining that the subsequent action invalidation condition is not satisfied, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST229. In the present embodiment, the success / failure condition is determined based on the fact that there is no subsequent character or the subsequent character is not selected based on the operation signal of the controller 4. Not exclusively.

  In ST229, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a subsequent action character selection operation. In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a subsequent action character selection operation based on the operation signal from the controller 4. If it is determined that there is a subsequent action character selection operation, the CPU 21 stores the data indicating the selected subsequent action character in the RAM 23 to execute the subsequent action character selection process (ST230), and then proceeds to ST231. Move processing. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no subsequent action character selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST228 again without moving the process to ST230.

  In ST231, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a subsequent action type selection operation. In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a subsequent action type selection operation based on the operation signal from the controller 4. If it is determined that there is a subsequent action type selection operation, the CPU 21 corresponds to the character data relating to the player character that has subsequently acted, and the subsequent action type corresponding to the subsequent action type selection operation is stored in the RAM 23. , The subsequent action type selection process is executed (ST232), and the process proceeds to ST233. As a result, the CPU 21 selects the action type of the character based on the operation signal from the controller 4 and the plurality of character data. Further, the CPU 21 can select an action type for each of a plurality of characters. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a character action type selection means. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no subsequent action type selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST231 again without moving the process to ST232.

  In ST233, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a subsequent action target selection operation. In this process, based on the operation signal from the controller 4, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a subsequent action target selection operation for selecting a subsequent action target that is an action target based on the subsequent action type selected in ST232. Determine. If the CPU 21 determines that there is a subsequent action target selection operation, the CPU 21 stores the subsequent action target corresponding to the subsequent action target selection operation in the RAM 23, thereby executing the subsequent action target selection process (ST234). The processing is moved to ST228. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no subsequent action target selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST233 again without moving the process to ST234.

[Normal action result decision processing]
The “normal action result determination process” called when a normal command is received in the “cooperation type action result determination process” described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 58, the CPU 21 executes a judgment ring determination process 1 (ST301). Although details will be described later with reference to FIG. 63, the CPU 21 determines each timing area in the judgment ring 100, each 120% area range, the rotation mode of the rotation bar 101, and the like as a single mode. Then, the CPU 21 executes judgment ring display control processing by supplying data indicating the determined result to the image processing unit 24 (ST302). Then, the image processing unit 24 performs control to display the judgment ring 100 on the display 16 based on the data indicating the determined result. That is, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like select a judgment ring (behavior result progress determining area) for determining an action result and progress, and a rotation bar (moving area) for moving and displaying within the judgment ring for a predetermined period. This corresponds to an example of display control means for controlling display of a timing area (determination area) set in the judgment ring based on the action type of the character that has been made. If this process ends, the process moves to ST303.

  In ST303, the CPU 21 executes a judgment ring determination process. Although details will be described later with reference to FIG. 66, the CPU 21 stores the position of the rotating bar 101 that moves and displays on the judgment ring 100 at the timing when the operation signal of the controller 4 is detected, and the position is a timing area. Or whether it is a 120% region, and damage and a recovery value are determined. Then, the CPU 21 executes a correction parameter setting process for correcting the result and progress of the action such as damage and the recovery value (ST304). Specifically, when there is a correction parameter for increasing or decreasing the damage or the recovery value, the CPU 21 sets the correction parameter in the RAM 23, and based on the damage or the recovery value and the correction parameter, the character Data update processing (see FIG. 53) will be executed. As a specific example, the CPU 21 refers to the character data table (see FIG. 4), determines whether or not the posture (reference) and the posture (current state) of the character subjected to the attack (damage) are different. If it is determined that they are different, the damage is increased by + 10%. Further, when the CPU 21 reads the combo flag and determines that the combo is continuing, the CPU 21 increases the damage by 2% for each hit performed while the combo is continuing. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process will determine the result and progress of the action based on the action type selected in ST202 based on the operation signal of the controller 4. In other words, the CPU 21 selects an action mode based on the operation signal of the controller 4 and the character data. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Double action result decision processing]
The “double action result determination process” called when a double command is received in the “cooperation type action result determination process” described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 59, the CPU 21 executes a judgment ring determination process 2 (ST311). Although details will be described later with reference to FIG. 64, the CPU 21 determines each timing area in the judgment ring 100, each 120% area range, the rotation mode of the rotation bar 101, and the like as a double mode. Then, the CPU 21 executes judgment ring display control processing by supplying data indicating the determined result to the image processing unit 24 (ST312). Then, the image processing unit 24 performs control to display the judgment ring 100 on the display 16 based on the data indicating the determined result. That is, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like select a judgment ring (behavior result progress determining area) for determining an action result and progress, and a rotation bar (moving area) for moving and displaying within the judgment ring for a predetermined period. This corresponds to an example of display control means for controlling display of a timing area (determination area) set in the judgment ring based on the action type of the character that has been made. If this process ends, the process moves to ST313.

  In ST313, the CPU 21 executes a judgment ring determination process. As will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 66, the CPU 21 stores the position of the rotating bar 101 that moves and displays on the judgment ring 100 at the timing when the operation signal of the controller 4 is detected, as in FIG. It is determined whether the position is a timing area or a 120% area, and damage, a recovery value, and the like are determined. Then, the CPU 21 executes a correction parameter setting process for correcting the result and progress of the action such as damage and the recovery value (ST314). Specifically, when there is a correction parameter for increasing / decreasing damage, recovery value, etc., the CPU 21 sets it in the RAM 23, and based on the damage, recovery value, etc. and the correction parameter, the character data update process (Refer to FIG. 53). That is, CPU21 which performs such a process will determine the result and progress of the action based on the action type selected in ST212 based on the operation signal of the controller 4. In other words, the CPU 21 selects an action mode based on the operation signal of the controller 4 and the character data. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Double combo action result determination process]
The “double combo action result determination process” that is called when a double combo command is received in the “cooperation type action result determination process” described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 60, the CPU 21 executes a judgment ring determination process 2 (ST321). As will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 64, the CPU 21 determines each timing area in the judgment ring 100, the range of each 120% region, the rotation mode of the rotation bar 101, and the like as the double mode as in FIG. To do. Then, the CPU 21 executes judgment ring display control processing by supplying data indicating the determined result to the image processing unit 24 (ST322). Then, the image processing unit 24 performs control to display the judgment ring 100 on the display 16 based on the data indicating the determined result. That is, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like select a judgment ring (behavior result progress determining area) for determining an action result and progress, and a rotation bar (moving area) for moving and displaying within the judgment ring for a predetermined period. This corresponds to an example of display control means for controlling display of a timing area (determination area) set in the judgment ring based on the action type of the character that has been made. If this process ends, the process moves to ST323.

  In ST323, the CPU 21 executes a judgment ring determination process. As will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 66, the CPU 21 stores the position of the rotating bar 101 that moves and displays on the judgment ring 100 at the timing when the operation signal of the controller 4 is detected, as in FIG. It is determined whether the position is a timing area or a 120% area, and damage, a recovery value, and the like are determined. And CPU21 performs the correction parameter set process which correct | amends the result and progress of action, such as a damage and a recovery value (ST324). Specifically, when there is a correction parameter for increasing / decreasing damage, recovery value, etc., the CPU 21 sets it in the RAM 23, and based on the damage, recovery value, etc. and the correction parameter, the character data update process (Refer to FIG. 53). That is, CPU21 which performs such a process will determine the result and progress of the action based on the action type selected in ST212 based on the operation signal of the controller 4. In other words, the CPU 21 selects an action mode based on the operation signal of the controller 4 and the character data. If this process ends, the process moves to ST325.

  In ST325, the CPU 21 executes a combo success / failure determination process. Although details will be described later with reference to FIG. 67, the CPU 21 determines whether or not a combo is established based on a combo ring operation result based on an operation signal from the controller 4. If this process ends, the process moves to ST326.

  In ST326, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the combo is established. In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the combo is established depending on whether or not the combo is determined to be established in ST325. If the CPU 21 determines that the combo has been established, it moves the process to ST327. On the other hand, when it is determined that the combo is not established, the CPU 21 ends this subroutine.

  In ST327, as in ST229 in FIG. 57, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a subsequent action character selection operation. In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a subsequent action character selection operation based on the operation signal from the controller 4. If it is determined that there is a subsequent action character selection operation, the CPU 21 stores the data indicating the selected subsequent action character in the RAM 23 to execute the subsequent action character selection process (ST328), and this subroutine. Exit. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no subsequent action character selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST327 again without moving the process to ST328.

[Combo action result decision processing (normal)]
The “combo action result determination process (normal)” that is called when a combo command that does not use the shortcut function in the “cooperation type action result determination process” described above is described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 21 executes a judgment ring determination process 1 as shown in FIG. 61 (ST331). As will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 63, the CPU 21 determines each timing area in the judgment ring 100, the range of each 120% region, the rotation mode of the rotary bar 101, and the like as a single mode as in FIG. . Then, the CPU 21 executes judgment ring display control processing by supplying data indicating the determined result to the image processing unit 24 (ST332). Then, the image processing unit 24 performs control to display the judgment ring 100 on the display 16 based on the data indicating the determined result. That is, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like select a judgment ring (behavior result progress determining area) for determining an action result and progress, and a rotation bar (moving area) for moving and displaying within the judgment ring for a predetermined period. This corresponds to an example of display control means for controlling display of a timing area (determination area) set in the judgment ring based on the action type of the character that has been made. If this process ends, the process moves to ST333.

  In ST333, the CPU 21 executes a judgment ring determination process. As will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 66, the CPU 21 stores the position of the rotating bar 101 that moves and displays on the judgment ring 100 at the timing when the operation signal of the controller 4 is detected, as in FIG. It is determined whether the position is a timing area or a 120% area, and damage, a recovery value, and the like are determined. And CPU21 performs the correction parameter set process which correct | amends the result and progress of action, such as a damage and a recovery value (ST334). Specifically, when there is a correction parameter for increasing / decreasing damage, recovery value, etc., the CPU 21 sets it in the RAM 23, and based on the damage, recovery value, etc. and the correction parameter, the character data update process (Refer to FIG. 53). That is, CPU21 which performs such a process will determine the result and progress of the action based on the action type selected in ST222 based on the operation signal of the controller 4. In other words, the CPU 21 selects an action mode based on the operation signal of the controller 4 and the character data. If this process ends, the process moves to ST335.

  In ST335, the CPU 21 executes a combo success / failure determination process. Although details will be described later with reference to FIG. 67, the CPU 21 determines whether or not a combo is established based on a combo ring operation result based on an operation signal from the controller 4. If this process ends, the process moves to ST336.

  In ST336, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the combo is established. In this process, as in ST326, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the combo has been established, depending on whether or not it has been determined in ST335 that the combo has been established. If the CPU 21 determines that the combo is established, it moves the process to ST337. On the other hand, when it is determined that the combo is not established, the CPU 21 ends this subroutine.

  In ST337, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a subsequent action character selection operation. In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a subsequent action character selection operation based on the operation signal from the controller 4 as in ST327. If it is determined that there is a subsequent action character selection operation, the CPU 21 stores the data indicating the selected subsequent action character in the RAM 23 to execute a subsequent action character selection process (ST338), and this subroutine. Exit. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no subsequent action character selection operation, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST337 again without moving the process to ST338.

[Combo action result determination process (shortcut)]
The “combo action result determination process (shortcut)” that is called when a combo command using a shortcut function is received in the “cooperation type action result determination process” described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the CPU 21 executes a judgment ring determination process 3 as shown in FIG. 62 (ST341). As will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 65, the CPU 21 determines each timing area in the judgment ring, each 120% area range, the rotation mode of the rotation bar 101, and the like as shortcut modes. Then, the CPU 21 executes the judgment ring display control process by supplying data indicating the determined result to the image processing unit 24 (ST342). Then, the image processing unit 24 performs control to display the judgment ring on the display 16 based on the data indicating the determined result. That is, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like select a judgment ring (behavior result progress determining area) for determining an action result and progress, and a rotation bar (moving area) for moving and displaying within the judgment ring for a predetermined period. This corresponds to an example of display control means for controlling display of a timing area (determination area) set in the judgment ring based on the action type of the character that has been made. If this process ends, the process moves to ST343.

  In ST343, the CPU 21 executes a judgment ring determination process. As will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 66, the CPU 21 stores the position of the rotating bar 101 that moves and displays on the judgment ring 100 at the timing when the operation signal of the controller 4 is detected, as in FIG. It is determined whether the position is a timing area or a 120% area, and damage, a recovery value, and the like are determined. And CPU21 performs the correction parameter set process which correct | amends the result and progress of action, such as a damage and a recovery value (ST344). Specifically, when there is a correction parameter for increasing / decreasing damage, recovery value, etc., the CPU 21 sets it in the RAM 23, and based on the damage, recovery value, etc. and the correction parameter, the character data update process (Refer to FIG. 53). That is, the CPU 21 executing such processing determines the result and progress of the action based on the action type selected in ST222, ST232, etc. based on the operation signal of the controller 4. In other words, the CPU 21 selects an action mode based on the operation signal of the controller 4 and the character data. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Judgment ring decision process 1]
The above-described “judgment ring determination process 1” will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 63, the CPU 21 selects one of the “attack table” (see FIG. 15), “special table” (see FIG. 16), and “item table” (see FIG. 17) set in the RAM 23. To determine the range of the timing area (ST351). Subsequently, the CPU 21 corrects the timing area range determined in ST351, the rotation speed and the number of rotations of the predetermined rotation bar, and the size of the judgment ring in accordance with (based on) a judgment ring correction parameter described later. (ST352). Here, the rotation speed of the rotation bar is set to 1.5 seconds as a basic speed, and the rotation speed of the rotation bar is set to one rotation as a basic rotation speed. Then, in ST302 and ST332 described above, the judgment ring 100 is displayed in the range of the timing area finally determined in this process, and the rotation bar 101 is rotated and displayed by the determined rotation speed and rotation speed of the rotation bar. Control is performed.

  The timing area and the judgment ring correction parameter will be described below.

  FIG. 15 shows an “attack table”. This is a table that is set when the “fight” command is selected by the player. As shown in FIG. 15, an attack that can be used is determined depending on the type of player character, and the attack capability and the range of each timing area according to the type of attack (for example, soft hit, normal hit, hard hit). And are set.

  The attack ability is used to calculate the damage amount (opposite damage amount) of the enemy character. The greater the attack ability value, the greater the damage amount of the enemy character.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the timing area range is indicated by an angle range surrounded by a “start angle” and a “end angle” where the rotation start position 100a of the rotation bar 101 is 0 °. As shown in FIG. 15, different values are set for the “end angle” depending on the type of attack. For example, when the player character is “player character A” 111 and a soft hit occurs, the first timing area 102 sets an angle range of 90 ° with a head angle of 45 ° and a terminal angle of 135 ° as the timing area range. Is done. In the second timing area 103, an angle range of 67 ° in which the start angle is 180 ° and the end angle is 247 ° is set as the range of the timing area. In the third timing area 104, a 45 ° angle range in which the leading angle is 292 ° and the terminating angle is 337 ° is set as the timing area range.

  Further, in the judgment ring 100, if the O button 12 can be operated when passing through a predetermined range of each timing area, the damage amount of the enemy character is increased by 20%, that is, as a special effective area that becomes 1.2 times. "120% area" is set. The “120% region” is formed in a range from the angular position obtained by subtracting the angle of the “120% region” from the terminal angle to the terminal angle.

  FIG. 18 shows a calculation formula for calculating the opponent damage amount of the enemy character.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the “assigned value” is “0.2” for the first attack, “0.3” for the second attack, and “0.5” for the third attack. Is set.

  The “SP remaining amount correction value” is “1” until the current SP falls below 25% of the maximum SP, that is, while “25−current SP / maximum SP × 100 ≦ 0” is satisfied. When 25% of SP is cut, that is, when “25−current SP / maximum SP × 100> 0” is satisfied, SP becomes “1.01” obtained by adding “0.01”. Then, “0.01” is added every time the SP decreases by 1 point. That is, each time the SP decreases by 1 point, the opponent damage amount is set to increase by 1%.

  The “character individual ability” indicates the STR (physical attack power) shown in FIG. 3, and the “attack ability” is a value set according to the player character and the type of attack shown in FIG.

  The “judgment ring correction value” is “1.2” when the O button 12 is operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the 120% area of the timing area, and the rotation bar 101 is the 120% area of the timing area. It is “1” when the ○ button 12 is operated when it is in a region other than “0”, and “0” when the ○ button 12 is not operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the timing area. .

  For example, when the “fight” command is selected, the ○ button 12 can be operated when the operation of the ○ button 12 is successfully performed on three timing areas, that is, when the rotation bar 101 is on the three timing areas. After that, the player character repeats the attack three times against the enemy character and gives predetermined damage. For example, when “player character A” 111 attacks with a soft hit, the opponent damage amount in the first attack is “0.2 × SP remaining amount correction value × STR × 6 × 1 (1.2)”. Points for this opponent damage amount are subtracted from the enemy character's HP. Similarly, the opponent damage amount in the second attack is “0.3 × SP remaining amount correction value × STR × 6 × 1 (1.2)”, and the opponent damage amount in the third attack is “0.5. × SP remaining amount correction value × STR × 6 × 1 (1.2) ”, which is subtracted from the enemy character's HP, respectively.

  On the other hand, when the operation timing of the ○ button 12 is removed from one timing area, the “judgment ring correction value” in the subsequent timing area becomes “0”. For example, when the “player character A” 111 attacks with a soft hit and the ○ button 12 can be operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the first timing area 102, the opponent damage amount in the first attack is “0.2 × SP remaining amount correction value × STR × 6 × 1 (1.2)”, but when the operation timing of the ○ button 12 is removed on the second timing area 103, the second and third times The “judgment ring correction value” in the attack of “0” is “0”, and the damage amount of the opponent is also “0”.

  Here, when the HP of the enemy character becomes “0”, the player character defeats the enemy character.

  FIG. 19 shows a display mode of the judgment ring 100 displayed at the time of command determination. Here, the judgment ring 100 at the time of command determination when the player character is “player character A” 111 and a soft hit is selected is shown. This judgment ring 100 is formed in the angular range of each timing area set in the “attack table” shown in FIG. When the player character is “player character A” 111 and an attack command is selected, the leading angle of the first timing area 102 is 45 °, the ending angle is 135 °, and the leading angle of the second timing area 103 is 180 °. The end angle is 247 °, the start angle of the third timing area 104 is 292 °, and the end angle is 337 °. Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the “120% region” is a range 102a from “105 °” obtained by subtracting 30 ° from the end angle of 135 ° to “135 °” of the end angle in the first timing area 102. Yes, in the second timing area 103, the range 103a is from “224 °” obtained by subtracting 23 ° from the end angle of 247 ° to “247 °” of the end angle. In the third timing area 104, the end angle is 337 °. This is a range 104a from “322 °” obtained by subtracting 15 ° from the end angle “337 °”.

  FIG. 20 shows a display mode of the judgment ring 100 after the command is determined. Here, a state in which the rotation bar 101 starts rotating and passes over the first timing area 102 is shown.

  The “120% region” is not limited to the above case. For example, as shown in FIG. 21 (1), “120% region” is provided in the range from the tip angle to a predetermined angle, or as shown in FIG. 21 (2), two “120% regions” are provided. It may be. FIG. 21 (1) shows a case where the range 102a from the tip angle 45 ° to the angle 65 ° obtained by adding 20 ° is defined as “120% region”. In FIG. 21 (2), the range 102a from the tip angle 45 ° to 20 ° added angle 65 ° and the range from the end angle 135 ° subtracted 30 ° to 105 ° angle “120”. % Area ”is shown.

  FIG. 16 shows a “special table”. This is a table that is set when the “special” command is selected by the player. Here, “special” is a command that uses a special ability (special ability) set individually for each character. For example, in the case of “player character A” 111, it is transformed into a fusion monster described later. In the normal state, however, the attack magic cannot be used. As shown in FIG. 16, special abilities that can be used are determined depending on the type of player character, and the capability value and the range of each timing area are set for each special capability.

  As shown in FIG. 16, when the player character is “player character A” 111, attack magics 1 to 3 can be used as special abilities, and the ability values set for these are the attack magics 1 to 3. Is used to calculate the opponent damage amount for damaging the enemy character. In this case, the greater the ability value of the special ability to be used, the larger the damage amount of the enemy character, that is, the number of points for reducing the enemy character's HP. These attack magics 1 to 3 can be used when transformed into a fusion monster described later.

  On the other hand, when the player character is “player character B” 112, the recovery magics 1 to 3 can be used as special abilities, and the ability values set for these use the recovery magics 1 to 3 to change the player character. Used to calculate a recovery value for recovery. In this case, the larger the ability value of the special ability to be used, the greater the recovery value of the player character, that is, the number of points for recovering the HP of the player character that has been damaged by the enemy character.

  The range of the timing area is indicated by an angle range surrounded by a “start angle” and a “end angle” where the rotation start position 100a of the rotation bar 101 is 0 °, as in the “attack table” (see FIG. 15). These “start angle” and “end angle” are set to different values depending on the type of special ability to be used. In addition, in this “special table”, only the first timing area 102 is set depending on the type of special ability used, or only the first timing area 102 and the second timing area 103 are set. There is a case. The “player character C” 113 does not have such special ability, and neither the ability value nor the timing area range is set in the “special table”.

  FIG. 22 shows a calculation formula for calculating the amount of damage to the opponent when the attack magics 1 to 3 are used as the special ability, and a calculation formula for calculating the recovery value when the recovery magic 1 to 3 is used as the special ability.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the “assigned value” is “0.2” when the first special ability is used, “0.3” when the second special ability is used, and “0.3” when the third special ability is used. It is set to “0.5”.

  The “character individual ability” used in the calculation formula for calculating the amount of damage to the opponent when using the attack magics 1 to 3 in FIG. 22 indicates the INT (magic attack power) shown in FIG. “Ability value of special ability to be used” is an ability value set in accordance with the player character and the type of special ability to be used shown in FIG.

  The “judgment ring correction value” is “1.2” when the O button 12 is operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the 120% area of the timing area, and the rotation bar 101 is the 120% area of the timing area. It is “1” when the ○ button 12 is operated when it is in a region other than “0”, and “0” when the ○ button 12 is not operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the timing area. .

  For example, when the “special” command is selected and attack magic is selected as the special ability to be used, if the operation of the ○ button 12 is successfully performed on all displayed timing areas, then the player character Attacks enemy characters with attack magic and deals predetermined damage. For example, when the “player character A” 111 attacks using the attack magic 1, only one timing area is set, so that the attack magic attack is performed only once. The opponent damage amount at this time is “0.2 × INT × 99 × 1 (1.2)” from FIG. 22, and points corresponding to this opponent damage amount are subtracted from the enemy character's HP.

  Further, comparing the timing area ranges in the respective tables for each character, in the “attack table” of FIG. 15, the timing area range set to “player character A” 111 is “player character B” 112. It is generally wider than the range of the timing area set in. For example, the sum of the timing area ranges in which soft hits are selected is an angle range of (135 ° −45 °) + (247 ° −180 °) + (337 ° −292 °) = 202 °, and normal hit The total of the timing area ranges set in (125 ° −50 °) + (205 ° −157 °) + (282 ° −247 °) = 158 °.

  This is because “player character A” 111 is a male character and has a narrative setting that has strong arm strength and high physical attack power, and accordingly, “player character A” 111 is excellent in physical attack. ing. Therefore, the range of the timing area when the “attack table” is selected is set wide, and the difficulty of operating the judgment ring 100 is low.

  On the other hand, in the “special table” of FIG. 16, the range of the timing area set for “player character B” 112 is wider than the range of the timing area set for “player character A” 111. .

  This is because “player character B” 112 is a female character and has a setting on the story of a magician, so when using recovery magic, that is, the range of the timing area when the special table is selected is set wide. The difficulty of operation of the judgment ring 100 is low.

  In this way, by incorporating the characteristics of each character from the story setting into the execution conditions of the judgment ring 100, it is not only a mere technical intervention element, but also the fun of searching for a command that matches the characteristics of each character. Born and added to the fun of games.

  FIG. 17 shows an “item table”. This is a table set when the “item” command is selected by the player, and the used item individual ability and the range of each timing area are set according to the type of the item to be used. As shown in the “item table”, items A to C can be used in common for all player characters. The items A to C are items for recovering the HP of the player character that has been damaged by the enemy character and is decreasing. Therefore, the used item individual ability in the “item table” is used to calculate a recovery value for recovering the player character with these items A to C.

  FIG. 23 shows the “judgment ring correction parameter table”. This “judgment ring correction parameter table” is a parameter (hereinafter referred to as “judgment ring correction parameter”) that changes the display mode of the judgment ring 100 (timing area range, rotation speed and speed of the rotation bar 101, and size of the judgment ring). And the content of the change in the display mode.

  The types of judgment ring correction parameters shown in the “judgment ring correction parameter table” include “item”, “enemy magic”, and “event type”.

  As shown in this “judgment ring correction parameter table”, 10 items (item D to item M) are set in the “item” as the judgment ring correction parameter, and these items are displayed on each submap. The player character's party can be obtained by clearing a predetermined condition. When these items are used in a battle scene, a store, etc., the displayed display form of the judgment ring 100 is displayed in a very advantageous state for the player, unlike the normal state.

  Describe the effects of using each item.

  (1) When item D or item E is used, the range of the timing area is doubled. That is, the operation of the ○ button 12 becomes easy.

  (2) When item F or item G is used, the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 is halved. That is, the operation of the ○ button 12 becomes easy.

  (3) When item H is used, the range of the timing area is doubled and the rotation speed is halved.

  (4) When item I is used, the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 increases or decreases slowly or irregularly. However, if the button 12 is operated well, the attack power, that is, the damage amount to the opponent is 3 It becomes double and it becomes a very advantageous state.

  (5) When item J is used, the entire range on the judgment ring 100 is the timing area. That is, the operation is successful even if the O button 12 is operated at any position.

  (6) When the item K is used, the number of rotations of the rotation bar 101 is usually one time and is a maximum of seven times. In this case, the player can carefully operate the ○ button 12.

  (7) When the item L is used, the effect of the item I works, the rotation speed increases, and the opponent damage amount increases in accordance with the number of rotations when the operation of the ○ button 12 is successful.

  (8) When the item M is used, the timing area is not displayed on the judgment ring 100, but the number of player characters attacking at random and the attack power are determined according to the operation timing of the ○ button 12.

  In this “judgment ring correction parameter table”, a blank portion where nothing is described is a case where it does not change from the normal time.

  Thus, since the player can develop a very advantageous game by obtaining the items D to M as these judgment ring correction parameters, these are set as rare items that are relatively difficult to obtain. .

  “Enemy magic” set as a judgment ring correction parameter indicates specific enemy magic among the magic of enemy characters (this is called “enemy magic”), and the player character received these enemy magic. In this case, the display mode of the judgment ring 100 is disadvantageous for the player. In this “judgment ring correction parameter table”, six types of enemy magic (enemy magic A to enemy magic F) are set in “enemy magic” as the judgment ring correction parameter.

  Explain the effect of receiving enemy magic.

  (1) When the player character receives enemy magic A, the range of the timing area on the judgment ring 100 is halved.

  (2) When the player character receives the enemy magic B, the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 is doubled.

  (3) When the player character receives the enemy magic C, the size of the judgment ring 100 is halved.

  (4) When the player character receives the enemy magic D, the size of the judgment ring 100 is doubled, but the timing area on the judgment ring 100 is halved.

  (5) When the player character receives the enemy magic E, the size of the judgment ring 100 is doubled, but the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 increases or decreases and changes irregularly. In this case, even if the O button 12 is successfully operated, the attack power does not triple as in the case of the item I, and is normal attack power.

  (6) When the player character receives the enemy magic F, the timing area range, the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101, and the size of the judgment ring 100 are randomly determined in a range from 1/2 to 2 times.

  The “event type” set as the judgment ring correction parameter is an event in which the party of the player character battles against a specific enemy character. When the event occurs, the display mode of the judgment ring 100 is in a disadvantageous state for the player. Become. In this “judgment ring correction parameter table”, four event types (medium bosses A to C and lath bosses) are set in the “event type” as the judgment ring correction parameter.

  The effect when each event type occurs will be described.

  (1) The event type “middle boss A” is an event in which the party of the player character encounters and battles against “middle boss A” which is a kind of enemy boss character. When this event occurs, the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 is doubled.

  (2) The event type “medium boss B” is an event in which the party of the player character encounters and battles against “medium boss B” which is a kind of enemy boss character. When this event occurs, the timing area range is halved.

  (3) The event type “middle boss C” is an event in which the party of the player character encounters and battles against “middle boss C” which is a kind of enemy boss character. When this event occurs, the range of the timing area is halved, and the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 increases or decreases and changes irregularly.

  (4) The event type “Last Boss” is an event in which the party of the player character encounters and battles against “Last Boss” which is a kind of enemy boss character. When this event occurs, the timing area range is halved.

  Here, since the boss character is an enemy character that can acquire a great number of experience points by defeating it compared to a normal enemy character, the display mode of the judgment ring 100 is difficult for the player to operate as described above. It becomes a state.

[Judgment ring decision process 2]
The “judgment ring determination process 2” described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 64, the CPU 21 selects one of “attack table” (see FIG. 15), “special table” (see FIG. 16), and “item table” (see FIG. 17) set in the RAM 23. , The timing area range is determined for every action type (ST361). Subsequently, the CPU 21 corrects the timing area range determined in ST361, the predetermined rotation speed and rotation speed of the rotation bar, and the size of the judgment ring in accordance with (based on) the determination ring correction parameter described later. (ST362). As a result, the CPU 21 determines a plurality of judgment rings corresponding to a plurality of action types that can be executed by a character performing a double attack or a double combo attack. If this process ends, the process moves to ST363.

  In ST363, the CPU 21 changes the timing area range as a double range. Such timing area change will be described below with reference to FIG.

  As described above, the timing area determined in ST361 is stored in the RAM 23. The timing area here is a timing area in the judgment ring corresponding to each of a plurality of action types that can be executed by one character. Such a judgment ring includes a physical attack as shown in FIG. 24 (1), a magic attack as shown in FIG. 24 (2), and an item use as shown in FIG. 24 (3). Yes. In double and double combos, the same kind of action type cannot be selected, and combinations of different kinds of action types can be selected. For this reason, combinations of action types in double and double combos are combinations of physical attacks and magic attacks as shown in FIG. 24 (4), combinations of physical attacks and item use, as shown in FIG. 24 (5). There are combinations of multiple types of magic attacks and combinations of magic attacks and item use.

  First, judgment ring decision control in a combination of a physical attack and a magic attack is based on the shape of the physical attack. The CPU 21 reads the timing area in the physical attack and determines each by reducing it to 80%. Then, the CPU 21 also assigns the last timing area 121 to the determination of whether or not to activate magic. As a result, the CPU 21 determines a double timing area range as shown in FIG. That is, the CPU 21 determines action results (behavior results and action courses) corresponding to a plurality of (for example, two) action types executed by a single character by a single-turn judgment ring. Note that the CPU 21 performs judgment ring determination control in the same manner for combinations of physical attacks and item use. The CPU 21 also allocates the last timing area 121 for determining the effect of item use.

  The judgment ring decision control in the combination of the first type magic attack and the second type magic attack is based on the shape of the magic attack having a large number of timing areas. For example, the CPU 21 includes a first type of magic attack having a judgment ring of two timing areas and a second type of magic attack having a judgment ring of one timing area, and the first type having a large number of timing areas. Based on magic attacks. The CPU 21 reads out the timing area in the first type of magic attack and determines each by reducing it to 80%. The CPU 21 also assigns the last timing area 122 to the determination as to whether or not to activate the second type of magic. As a result, the CPU 21 determines a double timing area range as shown in FIG. That is, the CPU 21 determines action results (behavior results and action courses) corresponding to a plurality of (for example, two) action types executed by a single character by a single-turn judgment ring.

  In addition, in the judgment ring determination control in the combination of the magic attack and the item use, since the shape of the magic attack is the basis, the CPU 21 reads the timing area in the magic attack and determines each by reducing it to 80%. Then, the CPU 21 also allocates the last timing area 122 for determining the effect of using the item. Accordingly, the CPU 21 similarly determines a double timing area range as shown in FIG. That is, the CPU 21 determines action results (behavior results and action courses) corresponding to a plurality of (for example, two) action types executed by a single character by a single-turn judgment ring.

  That is, the CPU 21 sets a timing area (determination area) based on the selected plurality of action types. In particular, the CPU 21 determines the number of times that the plurality of action types are selected according to the determination mode corresponding to at least one of the plurality of action types based on the results and progress of the plurality of actions based on the selected plurality of action types. It will be determined in less number of times. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is corresponded to an example of a character action result progress determination means.

  In this way, the results and progress of a plurality of actions based on a plurality of action types selected based on the operation signal are determined based on the operation signals in a manner of determining the result and progress of a smaller number of actions than the plurality of actions. A plurality of action controls based on the results and progress of the determined actions are executed in accordance with the action order of the plurality of characters. Accordingly, the determination result corresponding to at least one of the plurality of action types can be determined by the number of times less than the number of times the plurality of action types are selected, and the complicated determination aspect Can be simplified, and it is possible to execute the action smoothly, and to prevent the game from becoming less interesting.

  Also, an action result progress determination area for determining the result and progress of the action, a movement area for moving and displaying within the action result progress determination area for a predetermined period, and an action result progress determination area based on the action type of the selected character The determination region set in the display is controlled to display a relatively advantageous action result and progress when the current position of the moving region stored in response to the operation signal is the determination region. Therefore, a game with high action can be provided by giving the player an opportunity to perform an operation in accordance with the movement display of the movement area so that the result and progress of a relatively advantageous action are obtained. The interest can be improved.

  In addition, a determination area is set based on a plurality of action types. Therefore, the determination area can be set according to the action type, such as the number of action types, and the determination area can be diversified according to the action type, such as a determination area that is easy to operate or a determination area that is not easy to operate. Can improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, by selecting a plurality of action types for one character and setting a determination area based on the plurality of action types, results and progress of a plurality of actions based on a plurality of action types in one character To decide. Therefore, the actions of one character can be diversified, and the interest in the game can be improved.

[Judgment ring determination process 3]
The above-described “judgment ring determination process 3” will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 65, the CPU 21 selects one of “attack table” (see FIG. 15), “special table” (see FIG. 16), and “item table” (see FIG. 17) set in the RAM 23. , The timing area range is determined for every action type (ST371). Subsequently, the CPU 21 corrects the timing area range determined in ST371, the predetermined rotation speed and rotation speed of the rotation bar, and the size of the judgment ring in accordance with (based on) the determination ring correction parameter described later. (ST372). As a result, the CPU 21 determines a plurality of judgment rings corresponding to a plurality of action types that can be executed by the character performing the combo attack (shortcut). If this process ends, the process moves to ST373.

  In ST373, the CPU 21 changes the timing area range as a combo shortcut range. Such timing area change will be described below with reference to FIG.

  As described above, the timing area determined in ST371 is stored in the RAM 23. The timing area here is a timing area in the judgment ring corresponding to each of a plurality of action types that can be executed by a plurality of characters. Such a judgment ring has one or a plurality of timing areas as shown in FIG.

  Therefore, the CPU 21 determines a judgment ring having a plurality of timing areas as shown in FIG. 25 (1) as a judgment ring having one timing area as shown in FIG. 25 (2). For example, the CPU 21 calculates the average value of the angle widths of the plurality of timing areas, determines the angle width of the timing area reduced to 80% from the average value, and determines the leading angle of the predetermined timing area. As a result, the CPU 21 converts a judgment ring having a plurality of timing areas as shown in FIG. 25 (1) into a judgment ring having one timing area as shown in FIG. 25 (2). Further, as shown in FIGS. 25 (1) and 25 (2), the CPU 21 performs not only the judgment ring relating to the character A but also the judgment ring relating to the character B etc. at one timing as shown in FIG. 25 (3). Convert to a judgment ring with areas. Even if this method is not used, it is only necessary to convert a judgment ring having a plurality of timing areas into a judgment ring having one timing area.

  Then, the CPU 21 calculates the angular width of the new timing area using the following formula.

  Value A = angle width of previous timing area × [1375− {125 × (nth character) −1}]

  New timing area angle width = previous timing area angle width x (value A / 1000)

  In this way, the CPU 21 calculates the angular width of the new timing area. As a result, the angle width of the new timing area is smaller in the angle width corresponding to the second character than in the angle width corresponding to the first character, and more than the angle width corresponding to the second character. The subsequent character in the combo is more difficult to hit, as the angular width corresponding to the human character is narrower. In other words, the determination area corresponding to the result and progress of the subsequent character's action is set to be narrower than the determination area corresponding to the result and progress of the previous character's action.

  In the combo (shortcut) attack determination control in which a plurality of action types by two characters can be selected, the CPU 21 calculates the value B using the following equation.

  In the combo (shortcut) attack determination control in which a plurality of action types by two characters can be selected, the CPU 21 calculates the value B using the following equation.

  Value B = [{Timing area start angle + (Timing area angle width / 2)} × 140/360] +80 + [{(nth character) −1} × 140]

  Then, the CPU 21 calculates the start angle of the new timing area by the value B− (angle width of timing area / 2). When the angle width of the timing area is 133 or more, the angle width of the timing area is set to 133, and the value B and the start angle of the new timing area are calculated. Further, when there is a 120% area, the CUP 21 determines the range of the 120% area based on the ratio between the angular width of the timing area and the 120% area.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 25 (4), the CPU 21 determines the judgment ring for determining the action result of the combo (shortcut) of the two characters. Accordingly, the CPU 21 similarly determines the range of the timing area for combo (shortcut) as shown in FIG. That is, the CPU 21 determines action results (behavior results and action courses) corresponding to a plurality of (for example, two) action types executed by the two characters by one rotation of the judgment ring.

  Further, in the combo (shortcut) attack determination control in which a plurality of action types by three characters can be selected, the CPU 21 calculates a value B using the following equation.

  Value B = [{first angle of timing area + (angle width of timing area / 2)} × 100/360] +60 + [{(nth character) −1} × 100]

  Then, the CPU 21 calculates the start angle of the new timing area by the value B− (angle width of timing area / 2). When the angle width of the timing area is 95 or more, the angle width of the timing area is set to 95, and the value B and the start angle of the new timing area are calculated. Further, when there is a 120% area, the CUP 21 determines the range of the 120% area based on the ratio between the angular width of the timing area and the 120% area.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 25 (5), the CPU 21 determines the judgment ring for determining the action result of the combo (shortcut) of the three characters. Accordingly, the CPU 21 similarly determines the range of the timing area for combo (shortcut) as shown in FIG. That is, the CPU 21 determines action results (behavior results and action courses) corresponding to a plurality of (for example, three) action types executed by the three characters by one rotation of the judgment ring.

  In the combo (shortcut) attack determination control in which a plurality of action types by four characters can be selected, the CPU 21 calculates the value B using the following equation.

  Value B = [{first angle of timing area + (angle width of timing area / 2)} × 80/360] +40 + [{(nth character) −1} × 80]

  Then, the CPU 21 calculates the start angle of the new timing area by the value B− (angle width of timing area / 2). When the angle width of the timing area is 76 or more, the angle width of the timing area is set to 76, and the value B and the start angle of the new timing area are calculated. Further, when there is a 120% area, the CUP 21 determines the range of the 120% area based on the ratio between the angular width of the timing area and the 120% area.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 25 (6), the CPU 21 determines the judgment ring for determining the action result of the combo (shortcut) of the four characters. Thus, the CPU 21 similarly determines the timing area range for the combo (shortcut) as shown in FIG. That is, the CPU 21 determines action results (behavior results and action courses) corresponding to a plurality of (for example, four) action types executed by the four characters by one rotation of the judgment ring.

  That is, the CPU 21 sets a timing area (determination area) based on the selected plurality of action types. In particular, the CPU 21 determines the number of times that the plurality of action types are selected according to the determination mode corresponding to at least one of the plurality of action types based on the results and progress of the plurality of actions based on the selected plurality of action types. It will be determined in less number of times. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is corresponded to an example of a character action result progress determination means.

  In this way, the results and progress of a plurality of actions based on a plurality of action types selected based on the operation signal are determined based on the operation signals in a manner of determining the result and progress of a smaller number of actions than the plurality of actions. A plurality of action controls based on the results and progress of the determined actions are executed in accordance with the action order of the plurality of characters. Accordingly, the determination result corresponding to at least one of the plurality of action types can be determined by the number of times less than the number of times the plurality of action types are selected, and the complicated determination aspect Can be simplified, and it is possible to execute the action smoothly, and to prevent the game from becoming less interesting.

  Also, an action result progress determination area for determining the result and progress of the action, a movement area for moving and displaying within the action result progress determination area for a predetermined period, and an action result progress determination area based on the action type of the selected character The determination region set in the display is controlled to display a relatively advantageous action result and progress when the current position of the moving region stored in response to the operation signal is the determination region. Therefore, a game with high action can be provided by giving the player an opportunity to perform an operation in accordance with the movement display of the movement area so that the result and progress of a relatively advantageous action are obtained. The interest can be improved.

  In addition, a determination area is set based on a plurality of action types. Therefore, the determination area can be set according to the action type, such as the number of action types, and the determination area can be diversified according to the action type, such as a determination area that is easy to operate or a determination area that is not easy to operate. Can improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, it is possible to select an action type for each of a plurality of characters, and by setting a determination area based on the plurality of action types, a result and progress of a plurality of actions based on a plurality of action types in a plurality of characters are determined. To do. Therefore, a plurality of actions among a plurality of characters can be diversified, and an interest in the game can be improved.

[Judgment judgment processing]
The above-described “judgment determination process” will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 66, CPU 21 determines whether or not a ○ button operation signal has been input (ST380). In this process, the CPU 21 receives the operation input signal from the controller 4 when the player operates the ○ button 12, and determines that the ○ button operation signal is input. If the CPU 21 determines that the ○ button operation signal has been input, it stores the position of the rotation bar 101 in the judgment ring 100 in the RAM 23 (ST381), and moves the process to ST382. That is, the CPU 21 and the RAM 23 store the current position of the rotation bar 101 (movement area) in accordance with the operation signal from the controller 4. Such CPU 21 and RAM 23 correspond to an example of moving area storage means. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the ○ button operation signal has been input, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST387.

  In ST382, it is determined whether or not it is on the timing area. In this process, when the CPU 21 receives an operation input signal from the controller 4 in the process of ST380, based on the current position of the rotary bar 101 stored in ST381, the rotation bar 101 described above is the timing area of the judgment ring 100. It is determined whether or not the display mode is displayed above. That is, it is determined whether or not the timing at which the player operates the ○ button 12 is a specific timing. It should be noted that the CPU 21 executing such processing determines consistency between the timing of the operation input from the controller 4 performed when the display form of the variable display area is changed and the display form. Corresponds to means. If the CPU 21 determines that it is on the timing area, it moves the process to ST383. On the other hand, if it is not determined that it is on the timing area, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST387.

  In ST383, it is determined whether or not the area is 120%. In this process, when the CPU 21 receives an operation input signal from the controller 4 in the process of ST380, the above-described rotation bar 101 is 120% of the judgment ring 100 based on the current position of the rotation bar 101 stored in ST381. It is determined whether or not the display mode is displayed on the area. That is, it is determined whether or not the timing when the player operates the ○ button 12 is a special timing.

  If the CPU 21 determines that it is on the timing area, it sets “1.2” as the judgment ring correction value in a predetermined area of the RAM 23 (ST384), and moves the process to ST386. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the area is on the 120% area, the CPU 21 sets “1” as the judgment ring correction value in a predetermined area of the RAM 23 (ST385), and moves the process to ST386.

  In ST386, a process for calculating a damage amount or a recovery value is executed. In this process, the CPU 21 calculates a damage amount or a recovery value by a predetermined calculation formula based on the selected command, the type of player character, and the item used, and sets the calculation result in a predetermined area of the RAM 23. That is, the CPU 21 corresponds to the action type each time the action type is selected, based on the operation signal from the controller 4 and a plurality of character data, the action result and progress based on the action type of the selected character. It is determined according to the determination mode. In other words, when the current position of the stored rotation bar 101 (movement area) is the timing area (determination area), the CPU 21 performs a relatively advantageous action among the results and progress of these actions. Will determine the outcome and course. If this process ends, the process moves to ST387.

  In ST387, it is determined whether the display termination condition of the judgment ring 100 has been achieved. The end condition is that (1) the specified number of revolutions (usually one time, the number of revolutions may increase depending on the judgment ring correction parameter) is digested, and (2) the prescribed number of pushing operations (usually 3 times, depending on various parameters). The CPU 21 detects and determines whether or not such an end condition is satisfied. If the CPU 21 determines that this termination condition is satisfied, it terminates this subroutine. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 does not determine that the end condition is satisfied, it moves the process to ST380 again.

  In particular, in the case of a double or double combo, the CPU 21 sets a timing area (determination area) based on a plurality of action types selected for one character, so that a plurality of action types in one character are set. The result and progress of a plurality of actions based on this will be determined. In the case of a combo (shortcut), the CPU 21 sets a timing area (determination area) based on a plurality of action types selected for a plurality of characters, thereby a plurality of action types in the plurality of characters. The result and progress of a plurality of actions based on this will be determined.

[Combo success / failure judgment processing]
The “combo success / failure determination process” described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 67, the CPU 21 determines whether or not a combo condition (a condition for continuously and cooperatively executing an action, that is, a continuous condition and a cooperative condition) is satisfied (ST391). In this process, the CPU 21 rotates in all timing areas (effective areas) in the judgment ring 100 in accordance with the operation input signal of the controller 4 based on the result of the “judgment ring determination process” executed in ST324 and ST334. When the bar 101 is displayed, it is determined that the combo condition is satisfied. If the CPU 21 determines that the combo condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to ST392. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the combo condition is satisfied, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST396.

  In ST392, a combo ring setting process is executed. In this process, the CPU 21 sets combo ring according to the type of the selected action (so-called combo or double combo). Specifically, the CPU 21 sets the display mode for displaying the combo ring, such as the display time for displaying the combo ring and the button image displayed for the combo ring, according to the selected action type.

  Then, the CPU 21 executes the combo display control process by supplying data relating to the set combo ring to the image processing unit 24 (ST393). Thereby, the image processing unit 24 displays the combo ring on the display 16 in the display mode of the combo ring set in ST393. If this process ends, the process moves to ST394.

  In ST394, it is determined whether the selected button signal is input within the time limit. In this process, if the CPU 21 determines that the button signal selected within the time limit has been input, it moves the process to ST395. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the button signal selected within the time limit has been input, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST396. That is, the CPU 21 that executes this process determines whether or not the operation input from the controller 4 has been made as a predetermined operation input displayed on the display 16 within the time limit. When the CPU 21 determines that the operation input from the controller 4 is made as a predetermined operation input displayed on the display 16 within the time limit, the predetermined cooperation condition is established. That is, as an example of the predetermined cooperation condition, it is determined that the operation input from the controller 4 is made as the predetermined operation input displayed on the display 16 within the time limit.

  In ST395, processing for turning on the combo establishment flag is executed. In this process, the CPU 21 sets the combo establishment flag stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 23 to ON and stores it. The CPU 21 that executes this process sets the other player character to attack the enemy character. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In ST396, processing for turning off the combo establishment flag is executed. In this process, the CPU 21 sets the combo establishment flag stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 23 as OFF and stores it. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Energy drain treatment]
The above-described “energy drain process” will be described with reference to FIG. This “energy drain process” is called when the energy drain as the action type is successful.

  First, as shown in FIG. 68, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the player character is in a specific state (ST501). In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the player character is in the specific state based on whether or not the state flag in the RAM 23 is data indicating that the state is in the specific state. When determining that the player character is in the specific state, the CPU 21 ends this subroutine without executing ST502 to ST505. In addition, when the player character is in a specific state, the action type itself called “energy drain” cannot be selected, and thus this process cannot be executed. However, as a precaution, the addition of calories is performed by executing this process. Do not let it run reliably. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 determines that the player character is not in the specific state, it moves the process to ST502.

  In ST502, the CPU 21 refers to the character data table (see FIG. 4) and extracts calories in the enemy character to be attacked. And CPU21 calculates the calorie to add based on the calorie of an enemy character (ST503). In this process, the CPU 21 reads from the RAM 23 the number of times (number of people) that the energy drain has been executed since the battle scene. And CPU21 calculates the numerical value which divided the calorie itself corresponding to an enemy character by the frequency | count (number of people) by which energy drain was performed as a calorie to add. In ST504, the CPU 21 adds the calculated calorie to the calorie corresponding to the player character by updating the character data table (see FIG. 4). Then, the CPU 21 updates the number of times (number of people) that the energy drain is executed. That is, the CPU 21 that executes such a process calculates the calorie (specific data) corresponding to the enemy character on the condition that the action mode of the player character with respect to the enemy character is selected based on the operation signal from the controller 4. , It is added to the calorie (player character state data) corresponding to the player character. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of a player character state data adding unit. If this process ends, the process moves to ST505.

  In ST505, the CPU 21 determines that the state of the player character can be changed based on the calorie of the player character. In this process, the CPU 21 reads the calorie corresponding to the player character as a result of the addition in ST504. Then, the CPU 21 refers to the player character state setting table (see FIG. 10) and determines that the state of the player character can be changed. Moreover, CPU21 sets a state flag to the data which show a state, when changing the state of a player character based on the calorie of a player character. As a result, the state of the player character is changed after such an action type of energy drain is completed. In particular, when the calorie of the player character becomes +100 or more or −100 or less and the state of the player character is changed to the super grammar or super slim state (specific state), the CPU 21 indicates that the state flag is in the specific state. Set to the data. As described above, the CPU 21 of the player character data stored in the RAM 23 is based on, for example, the calorie (player character state data) (based on a predetermined change condition), and the player character previously determined in this process. The state will be changed. That is, in other words, the CPU 21 changes (determines) the state of the player character based on the result added in ST504. In particular, the CPU 21 changes the player character state to a relatively advantageous specific state, for example, on condition that the calorie (player character state data) has reached a predetermined value (for example, +100, −100, etc.). Will be. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of a player character state determining unit and a player character state changing unit. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Calorie initialization processing]
The “calorie initialization process” described above will be described with reference to FIG. This “calorie initialization process” is called when the action order of the player character that can execute the energy drain is reached.

  First, as shown in FIG. 69, the CPU 21 determines whether or not a specific state has been reached and a predetermined number of battles (for example, five times) have been performed (ST511). In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the player character capable of executing the energy drain has entered the specific state and has performed the predetermined number of battles depending on whether or not the player character has encountered the predetermined number of battle scenes after entering the specific state. It will be judged. If the CPU 21 determines that the player character capable of executing the energy drain is in a specific state and has performed a predetermined number of battles, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST512. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 determines that the player character that can execute the energy drain is not in the specific state or is in the specific state and does not perform the predetermined number of battles, the CPU 21 executes ST512 and ST513. Instead, this subroutine is terminated.

  In ST512, the player character's calorie is initialized (set to 0). In this process, the CPU 21 changes the player character's calorie value to the initial value on condition that the player character's calorie (player character state data) has reached a predetermined value and is in a specific state. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of an initial value changing unit. Then, CPU 21 determines that the state of the player character can be changed based on the calorie of the player character changed to the initial value (ST513). In this process, the CPU 21 changes the state of the player character (for example, the state of pink bat) based on the calorie corresponding to the player character changed to the initial value in ST512. Further, the CPU 21 sets a state flag as data indicating the state of the player character to be changed. As a result, the state of the player character is changed after such an action type of energy drain is completed. In particular, when the calorie of the player character is 0 and the state of the player character is changed to the pink bat state (specific state), the CPU 21 sets the state flag to data indicating that it is in the initial state. As described above, the CPU 21 changes the state of the player character previously determined in this process based on the calorie (player character state data) corresponding to the player character stored in the RAM 23. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of a player character state determining unit and a player character state changing unit. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In the present embodiment, control is performed so that the energy drain itself cannot be executed on the same enemy character. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, control may be performed so that the energy drain itself cannot be executed on the same enemy character. Further, in the present embodiment, the calorie value corresponding to the enemy character is calculated by adding the numerical value obtained by dividing the calorie itself corresponding to the enemy character by the number of times (number of people) that the energy drain is executed. The calorie itself corresponding to the enemy character may be calculated as the calorie to be added, regardless of the number of times (number of people) that the energy drain has been executed since the scene.

  Thus, based on the operation signal from the operation means, on the condition that the action mode of the player character with respect to the enemy character is selected, the specific data corresponding to the enemy character is added to the player character state data. The state of the player character is changed based on the added result. Therefore, since the player character's action mode for the enemy character is selected based on the operation signal from the operation means, the player intentionally adds the player character state data according to the action mode for the enemy character. Can be done. Furthermore, in order to add the specific data corresponding to the enemy character that is the target of the action mode, for example, specific data having different specific data depending on the type of the enemy character is added. For this reason, it is possible to arbitrarily and easily change the state of the player character while executing an action on the enemy character.

  Further, on the condition that the player character state data becomes a predetermined value, the player character state data is changed to an initial value, and the state of the player character is changed to a relatively advantageous specific state. Therefore, the player character state data is intentionally changed to a relatively advantageous specific state as a predetermined value, and the player character state data is changed to an initial value. A strategic game can be provided in harmony with restrictions on specific conditions.

[Magic plate setting processing]
The “magic plate setting process” described above will be described with reference to FIG. This “magic plate setting process” is called when a magic plate setting operation is performed in ST21 or the like.

  First, as shown in FIG. 70, the CPU 21 determines whether or not a magic plate can be set (ST600). In this process, if the CPU 21 determines that the magic plate can be set, it moves the process to ST601. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 determines that the magic plate is not ready to be set, it ends this subroutine without executing ST601 to ST606. In the present embodiment, when the magic plate setting menu is selected, it is determined that the magic plate can be set.

  In ST601, the CPU 21 refers to the character table, the magic plate setting table (see FIG. 8), and the magic stone setting table (see FIG. 9). Then, the CPU 21 executes a magic plate / magic stone display control process (ST602). In this process, the CPU 21 supplies data based on the magic plate setting table (see FIG. 8) and the magic stone setting table (see FIG. 9) to the image processing unit 24 based on the reference result. As a result, the image processing unit 24 displays on the display 16 the shape of the magic plate associated with the character (type of shape, size, etc.) and the shape related to the magic stone associated with the magic plate (type of shape, Control for displaying an image related to size and the like and additional ability. That is, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like perform control to display at least one shape of a region corresponding to the type of region (additional ability data) on the magic plate and a plurality of types of magic stones (ability objects). Will be done. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 and the image processing unit 24 that execute such processing correspond to an example of a region display control unit and a capability object display control unit. If this process ends, the process moves to ST603.

  In ST603, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a magic plate changing operation. In this process, if the CPU 21 determines that a magic plate change operation has been performed in response to an operation signal from the controller 4, the process proceeds to ST604. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 determines that the magic plate change operation has not been performed in accordance with the operation signal from the controller 4, the CPU 21 ends this subroutine without executing ST604 to ST606.

  In ST604, the CPU 21 executes a character data table / magic plate setting table change process. In this processing, the CPU 21 responds to an operation signal from the controller 4 with the type of magic plate (including no setting) set for each character in the character data table (see FIG. 4), the magic plate setting table ( In FIG. 8), the type of magic stone (including no setting) set in each area of the magic plate is changed. Although details will be described later, in ST606, additional ability data according to such magic plate setting and magic stone setting is added to the character data related to the character. That is, the CPU 21 has a plurality of types of magic plates (additional power data determining means) that differ in at least one of the number of regions, the size of the region shape, and the type of region shape, and any one of the plurality of types of magic plates. Is set in association with the character.

  Further, the CPU 21 determines additional ability data to be added to the character data based on the operation signal from the controller 4. In other words, on the condition that a magic stone (ability object) is set in the magic plate area, the CPU 21 determines the additional ability data corresponding to the area as additional ability data to be added to the character data. It becomes.

  In particular, when the CPU 21 changes the type of magic stone set in each area in the magic plate, the shape (shape type, size, etc.) of the area in the magic plate setting table and the magic in the magic stone setting table. Compare the stone shape (shape type, size, etc.). The CPU 21 can set the area when the shape type is the same and the magic stone has a size equal to or smaller than the size of the area. That is, on the condition that a magic stone (ability object) corresponding to a size equal to or smaller than the size in the area is set in the area, the CPU 21 stores the additional ability data corresponding to the size of the magic stone associated with the area. It is determined as additional capacity data to be added to the data.

  Further, the CPU 21 adds additional ability data corresponding to the type of the ability object to the character data on condition that a magic stone (ability object) corresponding to the shape in the area of the magic plate is set in the area. It will be determined as additional capacity data. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of a plurality of types of additional power data determining means and additional power data setting means.

  And CPU21 performs a table change display control process (ST605). In this processing, the CPU 21 supplies the image processing unit 24 with data indicating the magic plate setting for each character and the magic stone setting for each magic plate changed in ST604. Then, the image processing unit 24 performs control to display the changed magic plate setting for each character and the magic stone setting for each magic plate on the display 16. Specifically, the CPU 21 determines the shape (shape type, size, etc.) of the magic plate associated with the character, the shape (shape type, size, etc.) related to the magic stone associated with the magic plate, and the additional ability. Control for displaying an image related to the above is performed. That is, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like perform control to display at least one shape of a region corresponding to the type of region (additional ability data) on the magic plate and a plurality of types of magic stones (ability objects). Will be done. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 and the image processing unit 24 that execute such processing correspond to an example of a region display control unit and a capability object display control unit. If this process ends, the process moves to ST606.

  In ST606, the CPU 21 executes character personal ability addition processing. In this processing, the CPU 21 refers to a character individual ability (see FIG. 3), a character data table (see FIG. 4), a magic plate setting table (see FIG. 8), a magic stone setting table (see FIG. 9), and the like. Thus, based on the setting of ST604, by setting, in the RAM 23, data obtained by adding the character individual ability and character data relating to the set character to the additional ability data relating to the magic stone in the magic plate set for the character. Add additional ability data to the character. That is, the CPU 21 determines the ability of the character based on the magic stone (additional ability data) in the magic plate (additional ability data determining means) determined in ST604 and the character data related to the character set in association with ST604. Will be determined. The CPU 21 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of a character ability determining unit. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Magic plate editing process]
The “magic plate editing process” described above will be described with reference to FIG. This “magic plate editing process” is called when a magic plate editing operation is performed in ST21 or the like.

  First, as shown in FIG. 71, the CPU 21 determines whether or not it is in a magic plate editable state (ST610). In this process, if the CPU 21 determines that the magic plate can be edited, it moves the process to ST601. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 determines that it is not in the magic plate editable state, it ends this subroutine without executing ST611 to ST615. In the present embodiment, it is determined that the magic plate can be edited when the magic plate arrangement store has a predetermined amount of money.

  In ST611, as in ST601, the CPU 21 refers to the character table, magic plate setting table (see FIG. 8), and magic stone setting table (see FIG. 9). Then, CPU 21 executes a magic plate / magic stone display control process in the same manner as ST 602 (ST 612). In this process, the CPU 21 supplies data based on the magic plate setting table (see FIG. 8) and the magic stone setting table (see FIG. 9) to the image processing unit 24 based on the reference result. As a result, the image processing unit 24 displays on the display 16 the shape of the magic plate associated with the character (type of shape, size, etc.) and the shape related to the magic stone associated with the magic plate (type of shape, Control for displaying an image related to size and the like and additional ability. That is, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like perform control to display at least one shape of a region corresponding to the type of region (additional ability data) on the magic plate and a plurality of types of magic stones (ability objects). Will be done. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 and the image processing unit 24 that execute such processing correspond to an example of a region display control unit and a capability object display control unit. If this process ends, the process moves to ST613.

  In ST613, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a magic plate editing operation. In this process, if the CPU 21 determines that a magic plate editing operation has been performed in response to an operation signal from the controller 4, the process proceeds to ST614. On the other hand, when the CPU 21 determines that the magic plate editing operation has not been performed in response to the operation signal from the controller 4, the CPU 21 ends this subroutine without executing ST614 and ST615.

  In ST614, the CPU 21 executes a magic plate table editing process. In this process, the CPU 21 changes the shape (shape type, size, etc.) in each area of the magic plate in the magic plate setting table (see FIG. 8) in accordance with an operation signal from the controller 4. That is, the CPU 21 changes the type of area shape and the area size in the magic plate (additional ability data determining means). In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of a region size changing unit and a region shape type changing unit.

  And CPU21 performs a table edit display control process (ST615). In this processing, the CPU 21 supplies the image processing unit 24 with data indicating the magic plate shape (shape type, size, etc.) changed in ST614. Then, the image processing unit 24 performs control to display the changed magic plate shape (shape type, size, etc.) on the display 16. That is, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like perform control to display the shape (shape type, size, etc.) of the area on the magic plate. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like that execute such processing correspond to an example of an area display control unit. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  In this way, control is performed to display the shape area and ability object shape corresponding to the type of additional ability data, and the ability object corresponding to the shape in that area is set in that area. The additional power data corresponding to the object type is determined as additional power data to be added to the character data. Accordingly, the additional ability data corresponding to the ability object is determined by the correspondence between the shape of the area and the shape of the ability object, so that any player can easily recognize the correspondence, and the player character can be easily recognized. Can be customized, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  Further, it is possible to store additional ability data corresponding to the size of the ability object, which is relatively advantageous to the character according to the size of the ability object, and change the size of the area. Further, the additional ability data is determined according to the size of the ability object that is equal to or smaller than the size in the area and is associated with the area. Therefore, since it is relatively advantageous for the character according to the size of the ability object, the size of the area can be changed, and a more advantageous ability object can be set, so that the player character can be customized, The interest can be improved. Further, since the additional ability data is determined in accordance with the size of the ability object associated with the area, the ability object size can be easily recognized by any player, and the player character can be easily customized. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  Further, it is possible to change the shape type of the region. Therefore, the kind of additional ability data can be easily changed, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  In addition, a plurality of types of additional power data, each of which includes at least one of the number of regions, the size of the region shape, and the type of the region shape, is set and is associated with the character. Further, the ability of the character is determined based on the character data and the additional ability data related to the set character. Therefore, since the additional power data in the additional power data determining means can be customized for each character, it is possible to diversify the additional power data of the character and improve the interest in the game.

  Further, additional ability data for changing the rate of increase / decrease of the character data with respect to the character's action mode is stored corresponding to the area, and the additional ability corresponding to the area is set on condition that the ability object is set to the area. The data is determined as additional ability data to be added to the character data. Therefore, since the additional ability data for changing the rate of increase / decrease of the character data with respect to the character's action mode is set, the rate of increase / decrease of the character data with respect to the character's behavior mode can be changed. And the interest in the game can be improved.

[Grouping process]
The above-described “grouping process” will be described with reference to FIG. This “grouping process” is called when a group setting operation is performed in ST21 or the like.

  First, as shown in FIG. 72, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is a group setting operation (ST701). If the CPU 21 determines that a group setting operation has been performed in response to an operation signal from the controller 4, it executes a grouping table (see FIG. 6) changing process (ST702). In this process, the CPU 21 updates the grouping table in accordance with an operation signal from the controller 4 to change a plurality of characters into a battle group member (character in the first group) and a standby group member (character in the second group). It will be classified into and. Moreover, CPU21 can memorize | store the classification | category of a battle group member and a standby group member as multiple types of groups, such as group A, group B, and group C, for example. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 determines in response to the operation signal from the controller 4 that there is no group setting operation, the CPU 21 ends this subroutine without executing ST702.

[Group selection processing]
The “group selection process” described above will be described with reference to FIG. This “group selection process” is called when a group selection operation is performed in ST21 or the like.

  First, as shown in FIG. 73, the CPU 21 determines whether or not a group selection operation has been performed (ST711). If CPU 21 determines that a group selection operation has been performed in response to an operation signal from controller 4, CPU 21 executes a group flag change process (ST712). In this process, the CPU 21 sets the group flag in the RAM 23 to be changeable in accordance with an operation signal from the controller 4. Specifically, when changing from the group C set in the grouping table (see FIG. 6) to the group A, the CPU 21 changes the group flag from the data indicating the group C to the data indicating the group A. . As a result, the CPU 21 selects one of the plurality of grouping patterns based on the operation signal from the controller 4, and based on the selected grouping pattern, converts the plurality of characters into the battle group (first group). It will be classified into a standby group (second group). That is, the CPU 21 classifies the plurality of characters into a battle group (first group) and a standby group (second group) based on the operation signal from the controller 4. In the present embodiment, the CPU 21 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of a character grouping unit and a grouping pattern selection unit. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 determines in response to the operation signal from the controller 4 that there has been no group selection operation, the CPU 21 ends this subroutine without executing ST702.

  In this way, a plurality of grouping patterns of a plurality of characters are stored, one of the plurality of grouping patterns is selected, and the plurality of characters are classified into a first group and a second group based on the selected grouping pattern. To do. Therefore, one of a plurality of grouping patterns can be selected, and the group can be easily and smoothly classified according to the character's ability and state, the progress of the game, etc. Can enjoy.

[Status display control processing]
The above-described “status display control process” will be described with reference to FIG. This “status display control process” is called when there is a status display operation in ST21 or the like.

  First, as shown in FIG. 74, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there has been a status display operation (ST721). In this process, if the CPU 21 determines that a status display operation has been performed in response to an operation signal from the controller 4, the process proceeds to ST722. On the other hand, if the CPU 21 determines that there is no status display operation in response to the operation signal from the controller 4, the CPU 21 ends this subroutine without executing ST722 to ST726.

  In ST722, the CPU 21 reads a group flag from the RAM 23, and selects one of a plurality of groups based on the group flag. And CPU21 determines the character which belongs to a battle group, and the character which belongs to a standby group by referring to a grouping table (ST723). Then, the CPU 21 refers to the display item setting table (see FIG. 7), recognizes item data extracted in the battle group and item data extracted in the standby group, and extracts item data in the characters belonging to the battle group. At the same time (ST724), item data for characters belonging to the standby group is extracted (ST725). In the display item setting table (see FIG. 7), the item data extracted in the battle group and the item data extracted in the standby group differ in the items (item types) and the number of items to be extracted. If this process ends, the process moves to ST726.

  In ST726, the CPU 21 executes the item data display control process by supplying various data to the image processing unit 24. In this process, the CPU 21 supplies the image processing unit 24 with item data relating to the extracted characters of the battle group, item data relating to the extracted characters of the standby group, and the like. Thereby, the image processing unit 24 displays the item data relating to the extracted characters of the battle group on the first display area 16a (see FIGS. 43 and 44) on the display 16, and also relates to the extracted characters of the standby group. The item data is displayed in the second display area 16b on the display 16 (see FIGS. 43 and 44).

  As described above, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like perform control to display a plurality of item data in a predetermined display area for each of a plurality of characters based on the stored item data. In other words, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like display a first display area that displays item data corresponding to the first character classified into the battle group (first group), and the standby group (second group). Control is performed to make the number of item data different in the second display area that displays the item data corresponding to the second character classified as (2). In particular, the CPU 21, the image processing unit 24, and the like perform control to display item data corresponding to the first character in the first display area with a larger number of item data than in the second display area. In this embodiment, the CPU 21 and the image processing unit 24 that execute such processing correspond to an example of character data display control means. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  Thus, the 1st display area which displays the item data corresponding to the 1st character classified into the 1st group, and the 2nd which displays the item data corresponding to the 2nd character classified into the 2nd group The number of item data differs depending on the display area. Accordingly, the item data to be displayed can be made different depending on the character type, state, etc., such as the first character and the second character, and a plurality of item data can be displayed in a display mode in which the display area is effectively used. it can. For this reason, item data that does not need to be different depending on the character type and the character state can be omitted, and can be displayed in a more easily visible display mode.

  In addition, when the action control of the first character is performed based on the number of item data larger than that of the second character, the first character is displayed in the first display area with the number of item data larger than that of the second display area. The item data corresponding to is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to display more item data for a character whose behavior is controlled based on a relatively large number of item data, and item data that does not need to be different depending on the character type and the character state. It can be omitted, and can be displayed in a display mode that is easier to visually recognize.

It can also be applied to so-called network games.

  An example will be described using the network game system of FIG. In this network game system, mobile phones 53A, 53B, and 53C as terminals for performing the above-described game are connected to a PDC network 51 capable of packet communication, for example, via base stations 52A and 52B, and player operations and games are performed. The information center 55 is accessed via the PDC network 51 according to the state. In response to requests from the mobile phones 53A, 53B, and 53C, the information center 55 receives various information from the servers 57A and 57B storing game programs and other data necessary for the game via the network such as the Internet 56. And information necessary for the game is transmitted to the mobile phones 53A, 53B, and 53C. 75, a server storing game data or the like may be connected to the information center 55 through a specific or dedicated communication line 60 without using a network such as the Internet 56.

  As a method for the player to execute the game, the game program is downloaded from the servers 57A, 57B in advance to the mobile phones 53A, 53B, 53C before the game starts, and the execution of the game program is executed on the mobile phones 53A, 53B, 53C. Perform on the main body. In addition, the game program is executed on the servers 57A, 57B in accordance with instructions from the mobile phones 53A, 53B, 53C, and the game content is viewed on the mobile phones 53A, 53B, 53C, like a so-called browser. Various systems such as a system in which the roles are assigned to the mobile phones 53A, 53B, and 53C are conceivable. Further, mobile phones may be interconnected using the PDC network 51 so that players can share the game system or play a match.

  In the present embodiment, the judgment ring 100 including the reference area and the rotation bar 101 as the fluctuation area are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be another mode. The judgment ring may be used as a variable region, and a region such as a rotating bar may be used as a reference region. That is, the reference area or the fluctuation area is formed including a plurality of effective areas that are relatively advantageous to the player and an ineffective area that is relatively disadvantageous. Further, such a judgment ring may not be used.

  Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, the combo (character action related aspect) linked | related with the character action of a later order, the double (character composite action aspect) which compounded several action aspect, and several action aspect were compounded. And, when a double combo (character composite action association mode) related to the character action of the later order is selected, the special action value is reduced to the specified value and stored, but not limited to this, For example, the special action value may be accumulated without being reduced to a specified value.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a combo for selecting a plurality of action types (behavior modes) for each of a plurality of characters, a double for selecting a plurality of action types (behavior modes) for one character, and a plurality for a single character. While selecting an action type (behavior mode), a double combo for selecting a plurality of action types (behavior modes) for each of a plurality of characters can be selected. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The combo only needs to be a character behavior association mode related to the character behavior in the later order. For example, the character in the later order is selected until the action of the selected character is selected for the next behavior mode of the character. What is necessary is just to relate to action, and the action order etc. may or may not be continuous. Further, the double may be a character composite action mode in which a plurality of action modes are combined. For example, when a double is selected, a plurality of actions are performed until the next action mode is selected for the selected character. Any combination of modes may be used, and a plurality of actions based on a plurality of action modes may or may not be continuous. Moreover, the double combo may be a character composite action association mode that is related to the character action in the subsequent order and is a combination of a plurality of action modes. For example, until the next action mode of the selected character is selected. It is sufficient that a plurality of action modes are combined and related to the character action in the later order. Further, the combo, double, double combo and the like are not necessarily attack behaviors, and may be behaviors other than the attack behaviors.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, when the special action value has become a predetermined value, it is possible to select a double or the like, and when the double or the like is selected as the action mode, the next action of the character The character behavior control based on the double or the like is executed until the mode is selected. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a double or the like is selected on the condition that the special action value becomes a predetermined value. It may not be possible. For example, double may be selectable regardless of the special action value. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, when the special action value becomes a specific value larger than the predetermined value, a double combo or the like can be selected, and the double combo or the like is selected as an action mode. The character's action control based on the double combo is executed until the next action mode of the character is selected. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the special action value becomes a predetermined value. It is not necessary to be able to select a double combo or the like on the condition. For example, a double combo may be selectable regardless of the special action value. Also, for example, when a special action value becomes a predetermined value, a combo or the like can be selected, and when a combo or the like is selected as an action mode, until the character's next action mode is selected. What is necessary is just to perform the action control of the character based on the combo. Further, for example, the combo may not be selectable on the condition that the special action value becomes a predetermined value. Further, the special action value may not be stored based on the action mode.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, by selecting double, it is possible to select a plurality of action types for one character, and timing based on the plurality of action types selected for the one character. By setting an area (determination area), the result and progress of a plurality of actions based on a plurality of action types in one character are determined. In the above-described embodiment, by selecting a combination (shortcut), it is possible to select an action type for each of a plurality of characters, and timing based on a plurality of action types selected for the plurality of characters. By setting the area, the results and progress of a plurality of actions based on a plurality of action types in a plurality of characters are determined. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the timing area is set based on a plurality of selected action types. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a plurality of action types selected for one character may be selected. Regardless, the timing area may be set. For example, the timing area may be set regardless of the plurality of action types selected for the plurality of characters. Of course, the timing area may be set regardless of the plurality of selected action types.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, based on the judgment ring 100 for determining the result and progress of the action, the rotation bar 101 that moves and displays within the judgment ring 100 for a predetermined period, and the action type of the selected character. The timing area 102 and the like set in the judgment ring 100 are displayed and controlled in response to an operation signal from the controller 4 when the current position of the rotation bar 101 is the timing area 102 or the like. Of the results and progress, the result and progress of the relatively advantageous action are determined. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, such display control is not performed and the operation signal from the controller 4 is used. When the current position of the rotation bar 101 is not the timing area 102 or the like, a relatively advantageous action It may be determined the result and progress. Moreover, you may make it determine the result and progress of an action according to the operation signal from the controller 4, without performing such display control.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a combo selected by two characters, a combo selected by three characters, a combo selected by four characters, or a plurality selected by one character. The action types (double, double combo) were combined as a single judgment ring, and the results and progress of multiple actions based on multiple action types were determined in one judgment ring. Not limited to this, for example, a combo selected by three characters, a combo selected by four characters, a plurality of judgment rings are combined into two judgment rings, and a plurality of judgment rings are obtained by two times. Even if the result and progress of multiple actions based on the action type of There. That is, the results and progress of a plurality of actions based on the selected plurality of action types are less than the number of times the plurality of action types are selected by a determination mode corresponding to at least one of the plurality of action types. It may be determined by the number of times. Moreover, you may determine the result and progress of several action based on several action type by the same frequency | count.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, any one of the plurality of grouping patterns is selected based on the operation signal from the controller 4, and the plurality of characters are selected from the first group and the second group based on the selected grouping pattern. Although classified into groups, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, any one of a plurality of grouping patterns may be selected at random without being based on an operation signal from the controller 4. For example, a plurality of grouping patterns of a plurality of characters are stored. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of grouping patterns of a plurality of characters may not be stored.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, in the battle scene, the first character classified into the battle group as the first group without being based on the character data related to the second character classified into the standby group as the second group. The action mode is selected based only on the character data related to the first group, but not limited to this, for example, based on the number of item data more than the second character classified into the second group What is necessary is just to perform action control of the 1st character classified into (2), and based on the character data regarding the 2nd character classified into the waiting group as a 2nd group. Further, for example, the behavior control of the first character may be performed based on the same number of item data, and the behavior control of the first character is performed based on the number of item data smaller than that of the second character. You may make it perform. Further, for example, the number of item data may be different between the first display area and the second display area.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, an item corresponding to the first character classified into the first group and the plurality of characters is classified into the first group and the second group based on the operation signal from the controller 4. The first display area for displaying data and the second display area for displaying item data corresponding to the second character classified into the second group were controlled to vary the number of item data. For example, a plurality of characters may be classified into a first group and a second group without being based on an operation signal from the controller 4. For example, the number of item data may be the same in the first display area and the second display area.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the increase / decrease in the character data with respect to the character's action mode, such as additional ability data that increases damage to the enemy character by 20% and additional ability data that consumes 50% of the player character. On the condition that the additional ability data for changing the ratio is set in the area, the additional ability data is added to the character data. However, the present invention is not limited to this. There is no need to add additional ability data.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, any one of a plurality of types of magic plates (additional ability data determining means) that differ in at least one of the number of areas, the size of the area shape, and the type of area shape corresponds to the character. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of regions, the size of the shape of the region, and the type of the shape of the region do not have to be different for a plurality of magic plates. That is, the same magic plate may be settable.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the shape type of the region, the size of the region, the attribute of the region, and the like can be changed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Any change of the attribute or the like may be impossible. Of course, all these changes may be impossible.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, on the condition that an ability object corresponding to a size equal to or smaller than the size of the magic plate area is set in the area, the additional ability corresponding to the size of the ability object associated with the area is set. The data is added to the character data. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the additional ability data corresponds to the area even if it is not the additional ability data corresponding to the size of the ability object associated with the area. The attached ability data corresponding to the area may be added to the character data by setting the ability object. For example, an ability object corresponding to a size equal to or smaller than the size of the magic plate area may not be set in the area.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the additional ability data that corresponds to the size of the ability object and becomes relatively advantageous to the character as the size of the ability object increases is added to the character data. For example, additional ability data that corresponds to the size of the ability object and that is relatively advantageous to the character as the ability object becomes smaller may be added to the character data. That is, additional ability data that corresponds to the size of the ability object and is relatively advantageous to the character according to the size of the ability object may be added to the character data. Further, for example, additional ability data that is relatively advantageous to the character may be added to the character data without depending on the size of the ability object.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the shape type of the region, the size of the region, the shape type of the magic stone (ability object), and the size of the magic stone are stored. There may be only one type of shape or a magic seat. Of course, for example, as long as there are a plurality of types of region shapes and magic seats, there may be only one region size or magic stone size. That is, it is only necessary to store a plurality of types of additional ability data classified according to the type, a plurality of types of ability objects classified according to the shape corresponding to the type, and to determine the ability of the character. Furthermore, even if the ability object corresponding to the shape in the area is set in the area, it is not always necessary to add the additional ability data corresponding to the type of the ability object. It may be success or failure or a predetermined probability.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the player character state data is changed to the initial value on the condition that the calorie (player character state data) of the player character B becomes a predetermined value, and the state of the player character is changed to: For example, the player character state data is changed to the initial value on the condition that the calorie (player character state data) of the player character B becomes a predetermined value. You don't have to. Further, for example, on the condition that the calorie (player character state data) of the player character B becomes a predetermined value, the state of the player character may not be changed to a relatively advantageous specific state.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, on the condition that the player character's action mode for the enemy character is selected based on the operation signal from the controller 4, the specific data corresponding to the enemy character is stored in the player character state. Although it adds to data and changes the state of a player character based on the addition result, it is not restricted to this, For example, you may change the state of a player character, regardless of the added result. Of course, for example, it is not necessary to change the state of the player character.
