Gameplay Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones introduces several new concepts and revives some old ones used in previous Fire Emblem games. The most notable change is the map system, which allows the player to have more control of how much experience the team gets and thus how they level-up. Despite this, it is similar to and in terms of actual gameplay. Combat Magvel's navigable map. The Sacred Stones retains the basic gameplay fundamentals seen in ; such mechanics like the weapon and magic triangles are identical to the previous game. The main battles in the story and the storyline associated with each battle are divided as chapters; the game has twenty-one chapters in the main story and only one side chapter—an optional battle during the main course of the game. There are also six chapters in each of Eirika's and Ephraim's routes, all of which are different in each route. There are twenty-eight chapters in total during the main course of the game. A notable difference that separates The Sacred Stones from the previous Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem titles is the use of a navigable world map, a mechanic first used in. Rather than limit the ability to train units and buy items to story battles, the ability to traverse the world map allows players more freedom in choosing how to play the game. It is possible to purchase weapons and items by visiting shops at points scattered across Magvel.

Unlike previous titles the player is now given a choice in what type of advanced class a character can become, for example, may become either or. The only units that do not get to choose between classes are the two Lords, Eirika and Ephraim, who each change into their own unique class. These include , and. Characters that are in a trainee class gain more experience than usual, and when they reach Level 10, they stop gaining experience and can class-change at the beginning of the next battle without the aid of an item. As with other classes, players can choose one of two basic classes to class-change into. After certain criteria are met, the trainee classes have a third class-change option, which is a slightly stronger version of the original trainee class. The skill system was first introduced in , and made a return in The Sacred Stones. In The Sacred Stones, some unit classes have a unique skill that gives it an advantage in battle. Unlike in , there is no capacity gauge, and the skills are not assigned by the player. The skills cannot be removed from the unit. Alternative modes fighting an Entombed. The Sacred Stones is the first Fire Emblem after to feature monsters. The Sacred Stones features a multiplayer Link structured identically to that found in the previous game. Enemies are slightly weaker compared to normal mode, with the lone exception of bosses on the main storyline, which follow normal mode values. All enemies are slightly stronger in this mode. Creature Campaign offers several prominent characters in the main storyline when the player completes certain achievements in the Tower of Valni or Lagdou Ruins.
