Long ago in the world of Beyond the Beyond, a battle raged between the Beings of Light and the Warlocks of the Underworld. Before the planet was destroyed, the two sides signed a treaty leaving the surface world to the Beings of Light and underground to the Warlocks. After hundreds of years of peace, inexplicable happenings begin to occur. The player must control Finn, a young swordsman, to stop the evil power that has broken the treaty and invaded the surface world

Gameplay in Beyond the Beyond is, for the most part, standard for a console role-playing game. However, the turn-based battle system does contain one feature that was not standard in console role-playing games of the time.[citation needed] Dubbed the Active Playing System, this feature allows the player to increase the chances of either landing an improved attack on an enemy or defending from an enemy attack by pressing the X button at the correct time during battle.

Beyond the Beyond, unlike most RPGs of the PSX era, offers more side quests and three secret characters. It is also longer than most PSX offerings, with total gameplay time averaging between 124 and 144 hours. It has been argued that the gameplay time is extended due mostly to long and complex dungeons, frequent random encounters, and the steep difficulty of bosses.
