Units are displayed as arrow-like icons indicating the direction they are facing (blue/green for friendly, red for enemies). A unit's icon will become darker in color when they have completed their turn, making it easy to see in a glance if you can bring other characters in the area into position. Further, the map screen will display the area of a skill effect, often making it much clearer whether or not a particular attack will hit a particular enemy, or which allies may be impacted by a unit's actions. Where the 3D view is sometimes found to be obtrusive in all three versions of the game, the DS' upper screen often makes things clear. | Units are displayed as arrow-like icons indicating the direction they are facing (blue/green for friendly, red for enemies).

On a New Game+, this version of the game will give a running commentary from a Prinny. The commentary will only appear on the top screen during existing cut-scenes, so it won't interrupt gameplay. It offers a new approach to a story that you may have already played a few times. The commentary can be removed in the game's Settings menu, and is only available in a New Game+ game. | On a New Game+, this version of the game will give a running commentary from a Prinny.

Note that the Prinny commentary will not appear in a normal game even if the option is enabled in the Settings menu and another save exists with the feature unlocked and enabled.
