This release sees a number of new ways to play the game. Three additional game modes have been added in addition to Standard and Lost Worlds.
- Legacy of Cyrus is the Magus% of the randomizer in which players must find Magus and Frog and use them to complete the Northern Ruins, Magus's Castle, and Ozzie's Fort to win the game.
- Ice Age is a mode where players must find Ayla and the character on the Dactyl Nest Summit, and use them to clear the Tyrano Lair and Mt. Woe to win the game.
- VanillaRando is similar to the standard mode except that all of the stats have been returned to their vanilla values. Some vanilla content such as the clone game is also restored in this mode. Seeds take quite a bit longer to complete in this mode.
In addition to the extra game modes, there are a few new flags, and some existing flags have been tweaked.
- Boss Rando has been reworked so that almost any boss can appear in almost any spot. Only the Dragon Tank, R-Series, Black Tyrano, Magus, and end bosses are not shuffled.
- Duplicate characters has a few new duplicate dual techs. Two Marles can combine their Ice 2 techs to cast Glacier, and two Luccas can combine their Fire 2 techs to cast Point Flare. Both are single target magic techs.
- Gear Rando (-q) is a new flag which randomizes the effects and stat boosts on equipment.
- Healing Item Rando (-h) is a new flag which randomizes the amount of healing done by healing items.
- Epoch Fail (-ef in the Extra Tab) is a new flag which removes flight from the Epoch. Players can find the 'JetsOfTime' and bring them to Dalton in the Snail Stop to restore flight.
- Bucket Fragments (-k in the Extra Tab) is a new flag which provides an additional way to win the game. Items called 'Fragments' are scattered around the game. When they are collected, the bucket in the End of Time can be used to travel straight to Lavos. The number of fragments present and required to win can be configured in the Extra Tab. Fragments are not compatible with Lost Worlds, Legacy of Cyrus, or Ice Age.
- The Mystery Seed flag can be used to produce a game with randomly chosen flags
- A variety of Quality of Life flags have been added. These can allow for faster tab pickup and automatic sightscope effect.
- Options such as player names, ATB mode, and battle speed can be set at generation time under Cosmetic Options.
- Reduce Flashes is a notable cosmetic option which removes the worst flashing effects from the game.
A few balance changes have been made.
- Weapon effects (particularly crisis arm) no longer applies to Robo Tackle. This change can be reverted with the Tackle On-Hit Effects flag on the Extra tab.
- Anti-Life has been changed to a reworked Black Hole. The new Black Hole deals MegaBomb-level nonelemental damage around Magus and powers up with fallen teammates like the Doomsickle.
- Marle's Cure has been changed to Reraise, which provides a Greendream autorevive effect to a single ally.
- Marle's Speed has been increased from 8 to 9.
Finally, there are a few notable bugfixes from 3.1.1.
- The vortex after Hecrkan Cave no longer softlocks.
- 3D Attack will be properly learned
- Softlocks when recruiting the Proto Dome character are fixed. There may still be issues after recruitment, especially in Lost Worlds if the party size is growing from 2 to 3.
- A softlock that rarely occured when using the Mystic Moutains portal is fixed.
