Screen ShotsFeaturesEnu Tankentai SBS with Gravity Corp. Enemy Sprites.
The battle system used in this game is the Atoa Conversion of Enu's SBS. Though it supports animated battlers using character graphics, I decided to use none animated battlers and so I used Gravity Corps Ragnarok Online Monster Sprites. ( See Screenshots for details)
Card Summon System.
Another add-on to the battle system is the Card Summon/Skill System. In Six Year Sakura : Forgotten Memories, the player has the option to collect 150 Cards that shows graphics of different Dieties, mostly from Shinto Religion. So if you don't know Shinto, I suggest you start reading wikipedia, or google it or something. Below are some cards used, though they are not finalized. If the player equipped cards, the equipped character will gain a special skill ( like a Limit or Overdrive ) that can be used after a set of turns. Also, the said character will gain skills or spells that is in-line with the affinity of the said card (e.g Amaterasu, Goddess of Sky And Sun when equipped gains the player the skills of Light to Light3 and some complement skills), the system will be further improved.
- Tsukuyomi - God of Moon
- Amaterasu - Goddess of Sun and Sky
- Susanoo - God of Sea and Storms
School Simulation System and Day/Night System.
School Simulation System/Day And Night System Explanation: ShowHide Six Year Sakura : Forgotten Memories includes a school simulation system in which the player can achieve points by doing certain tasks that includes curricular, extra-curricular, or story-related tasks.

NPC Relation System.
NPC Relation System Explanation: ShowHide In addition to the Day and Night System, a given time is allotted to the player to explore to game thoroughly. During the free time, the player can talk to NPCs as well as PCs found in-game and improve relationships with NPCs and PCs.
Calendar System.
Another addition to the Day and Night System, the game features a calendar system in which the game's length is determined. The game show certain events on a said day like an unexpected ending or a side quest completion or a story related events.
New Game +
