medals, the player is brought to an extra stage called 'FINAL PLUS', in which the player only gets one shot to perform (no continue). Completion of this mission is optional, with victory or defeat ending the game either way. The odds are normally greatly stacked against the player in this level. Versus Mode In Versus Mode (also known as Fighting Mode, or 対戦 モード), player/s can customize their own battles (as opposed to following a route in Arcade mode). Participants choose their units and pilots, and the stage, and can now adjust match-specific settings such as damage level, time, boost amount, etc. Challenge Mode (PS2 exclusive) Challenge Mode (チャレンジ モード) pits the player in missions where the player must defeat waves of opponents with one life gauge/bar to score the highest points. Game rules modifications do not affect this game mode, so all settings are always on their default values. P.L.U.S. Mode (PS2 exclusive) P.L.U.S. Mode (P.L.U.S. モード) is the PS2-exclusive 'mission mode', where the player assumes the role of Shinn Asuka, and completes missions based on the SEED Destiny series. In this game play mode, pilots (including Shinn, the player) are capable of becoming more powerful by means of leveling up. It is also in this game play mode that a 'relationship' system is formed, where the player can gain the trust of pilots in the SEED/SEED Destiny series, based on their actions in battle. Playable characters and units The game features characters and mobile weapons from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray and Gundam SEED Destiny Astray, and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73: Stargazer.
