See "Character Selection". LOAD GAME --------- This brings up a list of the files to load. GAME OPTIONS ------------ メッセージそくど(Message Speed) はやい(Fast) おそい(Slow) せんとうアニメ(Battle Animation) ON OFF セーブデータのさくじょ(Delete Save Data) ★★セーブデータをけします!★★ CHARACTER SELECTION ------------------- The character on the left(プレイヤー) is the Player. The character on the right(パートナー) is your Partner. The character races are: ヒューマン(Human) フォレスター(Forester/Forest Elf) マリナー(Mariner) バーディアン(Birdeon?) リザードマン(Lizard Man) Simply choose the portrait of the gender you want to be for that race. The game then sends you to the Name screen... NAMING A CHARACTER ------------------ The 4 options on the right are: ひらがな(Hiragana Characters) カタカナ(Katakana Characters) もどる(Return to Character Selection) けってい(Done) Most of you will simply want to name your character using the english letters at the bottom of both the "Hiragana" and "Katakana" character pages, then choose "Done" to continue on to the game(or naming your partner). For those of you who care, here are the default names of the characters: Human Male - Rod(ロッド) Human Female - Lina(リナ) Forester Male - Chris(クリス) Forester Female - Leaf(リーフ) Mariner Male - Zappa(ザッパ) Mariner Female - Shela(シェラ) Birdeon Male - Feather(フェザー) Birdeon Female - Silphie(シルフェー) Lizard Man Male - Carl(カール) Lizard Man Female - Pinky(ピンキー) Well, hopefully that will cover all the basic translations and get you into the actual game. Now to continue... TOWN TRANSLATIONS ================= - Translations for getting around the town of Lafeas, and for things like shopping. These following 2 locations are what I will call "Central" locations, they are places that link to other buildings like shops and such. しがいち(Suburbs?) ------------------ This is the place you start the game out at, after you talk to your partner. The options are as follows: こうぼう(Workshop) - this is where your Partner is. ショップ(Shop) - Buy Items and Parts here. アリーナ(Arena) - Fight in battles here. ひろば(Plaza) - Go to the Plaza. ダンジョン(Dungeon) - Leave town and go to the map to visit a Dungeon. ひろば(Plaza) ------------- The Plaza is accesible through the "Suburbs". さかば(Bar) - Talk to people here. したまち(Downtown) - Talk to people here. りんどう(Forest Path) - Talk to people here. もりのいずみ(Forest Spring?) - Talk to people here. もどる(Return) - Go back to the "Suburbs". SUBURBS ======= These are the sub menus under Suburbs. Workshop Menu ------------- せいび(Adjustment) - Equip parts to your Unitron. かいはつ(Development) - Create items. アイテム(Item) - See your items and parts. ステータス(Status) - Character and Unitron status. トレード(Trade) - This requires a link cable, so I can't test it. ヘルプ(Help) - Game Instructions. In Japanese so it is useless. データかんり(Data Manager) - Save and Load. Shop ---- こうにゅう(Buy) - Buy an Item or Part. ばいきゃく(Sell) - Sell an Item or Part. DUNGEON TRANSLATIONS ==================== - Translations for walking around in dungeons, for things like opening chests and various menus. キャンプ(Camp) Menu ------------------- To reach this menu press "B" in the dungeon map. アイテム(Item) - Use an item. ステータス(Status) - View character or Unitron status. ダッシュフ(???) - Return to the overland map. もどる(Return) - Exit the Camp Menu. Item Menu --------- つかう(Use) - Use an item. いちらん(Glance) - See list of Parts and Items. もどる(Return) - Return to the Camp Menu. Status Menu ----------- キャラクター(Character) - Character Status. ユニトロン(Unitron) - Unitron Status. やめる(End) - Return to the Camp Menu. Return to overland map ---------------------- Brings up 2 options. はい(Yes) and いいえ(No). Yes sends you back to the overland map, No sends you back to the Camp Menu. Treasure Chests --------------- Three things happen when you open a chest. 1) You recieve money. This is distingushed by a number at least 3 digits in the window the chest brings up. 2) You recieve an item. This is distingushed by a line filled text box with no numbers(except in the case of Repair 1, 2, etc. and Tools and such, but those are all small numbers that you would never recieve so little money). In the bottom left of the text box is the item name, reference to my list to know what you got. 3) Nothing. This is easy to see, as it is the only of the 3 possibilities that only takes up one line in the text box. BATTLE TRANSLATIONS =================== - Translations for the battle menus, and what they do. Battle Menu ----------- こうげき(Attack) - Bring up list of attacks. アイテム(Item) - Use an item. チャージ(Charge) - Charge EP. たいきゃく(Flee) - Run away from the battle. Attack ------ Brings up a list of attacks. Attack names correspond with Arm names, so see the "Arm List" further down in this FAQ. Item ---- Brings up a list of items. See the "Item List" further down in this FAQ to know what you are using. Charge EP --------- When you are running low on EP use this to get some back. Flee ---- This runs from the battle. No translation neccesary, you will know if you escaped or not because you will be back in the dungeon screen. Victory ------- Once you defeat the enemy and the battle is won you will see 2 numbers surrounded by japanese text. The first number is experience, the second is money. If there is a 3rd line of text, the very first set of characters on the line is the item you won. CHARACTERS ========== Here is a list of characters you encounter. Because I can not read very fluent Japanese, these are just name translations till I can take the time to write down what they say to translate it. ジャン - Jon Jon is the robot who you talk to in the Arena.

Simply choose the "Development" option in the Workshop. You first choose the base arm, then the material to combine it with, then a good tool to raise the chance of succesful combining of the Arm and Material. Note that later materials will work in place of the basic ones sometimes, but I will list the cheapest/lowest level material that will help the item. Also note that while some materials will work to create the same item as the lower materials, some will make all new items. I will do my best to make this list as easy to read as possible.

If you can not read Japanese to tell me the Item names and the items are not avaialble on my list then mail me with the item and material's location on the item list(4th on the list, 10th on the list, etc.). PROGRESSION CHART ================= This is a quick list of "Arm Progression". This can be used a quick reference to see what basic Arm becomes what. Consider this a "work in progress". Only english names will be used in this chart. As I discover items that have multiple "progression paths" I will move them from the single to multiple path lists.

Simply talk to everyone in town, then go back to the Workshop! Most of you probably figured this out, but I'd thought I'd go ahead and state it just in case someone was having a hard time figuring out what to do. STARTING UNITRON COMPARISON =========================== This is just a quick comparison of the different character's starting Unitron equipment. This is so you can decide which of the races is more your style. They all start with the same Core and Backpack so I didn't list that. Right Arm Left Arm Leg --------- -------- --- Human - B Knuckle Lancer H Basic Forester - Silk Hand Lancer F Basic Mariner - Hydro Gun Hook Claw M Basic Birdeon - Hawk Nail Whip B Basic Lizard Man - Ogre Hand Axe L Basic THE ARENA ========= What does the Arena do you ask? Well, in the arena you fight against other Unitrons to gain ranks. The objective is to reach the rank "Master of Masters". GRADE | RANK ---------------- E | Rookie D | ??? C | ??? B | Duke A | Lord S | High Master Champion | Master of Masters HIDDEN TECHNIQUES ================= Wow! I was going through talking to people so I could go back to the arena, and while talking to Elmut(old guy in woods), he asked me which of two special techniques I wanted! I wasn't really sure what was going on, so didn't write anything down, but will start a new game and rush back to that point to see how exactly to do it. Anyways, he gave me the option of "Nova" and another technique whose name eludes me right now. These are extra techniques that are REALLY powerful you can use in battle without equipping anything, in addition to your standard Arm attacks. I will get more info on this as soon as possible... \\\\\-----,,,,, ,,,,,-----///// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\-----,,,,, ,,,,,-----/////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ///////////////////------''''' '''''-----\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ /////-----''''' '''''-----\\\\\ ___ _ _ _ _ ___ ___ ___ _ _ ___ | \| | || \| |/ _\| __|/ _ \| \| |/ __\ | | || | || || |/\| _| ||_||| |\__ \ |___/\___/|_|\_|\___/|___|\___/|_|\_|\___/ This section of the FAQ will explain some about how the dungeons work.
