Introduction =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Welcome to my unofficial guide to Phantom Kingdom/Makai Kingdom, Nippon Ichi's (NIS) latest Strategy RPG offering for the PlayStation 2. For those of you who were wondering, Makai means Netherworld. Phantom Kingdom is not a direct sequel to any of NIS's previous offerings, but like Disgaea and Phantom Brave, there ARE links to previous games created by NIS. As I complete major sections of this guide, they will be added. Future plans include adding a thorough explanation of the Transmigration system, how to get all the Endings, just how things are calculated in the Free Dungeons, and a guide on how to make your characters as uber as possible. I have tried to organize the explanation of systems to roughly parallel with when the Tutorials should teach you information. Most of my explanation of the battle system is integrated into the first chapter of the walkthrough. Any areas that I felt warranted further attention got (or will get) their own sections. All translations are my own, though I have done my best to try to match up item and class names with what some were in Disgaea and Phantom Brave. I know that most of them will be changed drastically for the US release. (Correction - they HAVE been changed drastically.) If you can think of a better translation for some of these items, send them on by to the above address. Otherwise, if you have the U.S. copy in your hands and see name differences, please be patient; this guide WILL be updated to reflect those changes. Don't e-mail me stupid stuff like "its not a Ronin, its a Samurai!!!!!!" or suchlike. I don't care yet, even if it may be listed as such in the Official Guide. Stuff can still change at the last minute. In the walkthrough itself, all level information is configured as follows: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stage 2.1 Clear Condition - 300/Variable Known as: Pram's Ceremonial Stage (Guide for Phantom Kingdom / Makai Kingdom FAQ/Walkthrough, Version 1.0 Written by Elaine V. elainenara (insert AT mark here) yahoo . c o m Work Begun: March 23rd, 2005 Initial Release: May 5th, 2005 Previous Update: July 1st, 2005 ----------- What's New? ----------- 05/08/01 v1.0 Walkthrough: - Updated Chapter 1 for US release. - Completed Chapter 8-9 Walkthrough. - All of the regular game is now documented - huzzah.
