Abstract
A method of executing processing for displaying hints to a character in a role playing game, and a program product and game system for the same, judge if a character being operated in response to an operational input from a player is at a location for which a special action is set. The invention also judges if the character has the ability to execute the special action set for that location, and, when that character has the ability to execute the special action, displays the navigation on the screen. When the character does not have the ability to execute the special action, a hint is displayed on the screen.
