Yo-kai Watch 4
Also know as: 妖怪ウォッチ4: ぼくらは同じ空を見上げている
The game takes place in three separate worlds, each associated with one of the main characters: Natsume (30 years after the first three games), Keita (contemporaneous with the first three games), and Shin (30 years prior to the first three games). Yo-kai Watch 4 introduced a new free-roaming 3D overworld movement system that is more akin to standard 3D RPG games, unlike the previous games that were from a top-down perspective. The game also implemented a new battle system where similar to other action role-playing games, players can directly control playable characters to battle enemies unlike where the previous games sent only befriended Yo-kai into battle. An active party can be formed with up to 1 human and 3 Yo-kai characters and players may switch freely between human and Yo-kai characters during battle. Yo-kai characters in the party that are not controlled by the player will behave differently in battle depending on their personality, a system similar to previous Yo-kai Watch games. In addition, human characters absorb the element "Yo-ki" during battle for redistribution, either to attack enemy Yo-kai, or to heal party members. Four characters from the Yo-kai Watch Shadowside anime also appear in the game: Natsume Amano, her brother Keisuke Amano, Akinori Arihoshi, and Touma Tsukinami
