  36. - A single save file uses 1 block of space.
  37. - Below you can see the game's release dates in different regions and
  38. which version of the game the release used. The North American release
  39. (v1.1) had the most bug fixes (until Second Evolution). The only notable
  40. change in v1.2 is the ability to speed up the IC animation. Save data
  41. from v1.0 is fully compatible with the Japanese v1.3 release and the
  42. other way around.
  43.  
  44. NTSC-J | v1.0 | 30.07.1998
  45. NTSC-U/C | v1.1 | 31.05.1999
  46. PAL | v1.2 | 12.04.2000
  47. NTSC-J | v1.3 | 03.03.2005 (PSOne Books)
  48. PSP | v2.0 | 2008 (SE)
  49. PS4 | v2.1 | 28.10.2015 (SE)(J only)
  50.  
  51. - The 2023 remake, SO2R, is a whole different beast. The changes regarding
  52. the gameplay are so numerous it's just a different game, one that I've
  53. never played and don't intend to. I would've gladly played it if they'd
  54. recreated all the visuals in hand-drawn 2D. *Real* hand-drawn 2D, none of
  55. that digital crap.
  56.  
  57. - SO2 has only two mandatory characters: Claude and Rena. You'll have to
  58. choose one of them as the main character at the start of a playthrough.
  59. The events of the game will be viewed from the perspective of the main
  60. character, with relatively minor differences between the two. PAs are
  61. largely different (if you even bother with those).
  62. - There are 10 optional characters, of which you can have at most 6 join
  63. your party. Some of them are mutually exclusive.
  64. a. Ashton | Opera (& Ernest)
  65. b. Precis | Bowman
  66. c. Leon (C only) | Dias (R only)
  67.  
  68. - Private Actions (PA) return, and triggering them is one of the ways you
  69. can alter the two affinity values, RP and FP. Depending on these values,
  70. you can end up getting a variety of different character pair endings.
  71. - The affinity values range between 0-15, with 5 being the most common
  72. default value. Each character has their own RP and FP values for all other
  73. characters.
  74. - There are some events outside of PAs that will also increase affinity.
  75. The most common boost involves all opposite sex PCs getting +1 RP between
  76. each other and same sex PCs getting +1 FP between each other.
  77. - Higher RP makes it more likely for a character to get angered in response
  78. to another character dying, doubling their ATP for 20s.
  79.  
  80. - Stats:
  81. Str | Base ATP (Kougeki)
  82. Con | Base DFP (Bougyo)
  83. Dex | Base Accuracy (Meichuu)
  84. Agl | Base Evade (Kaihi)
  85. Int | Base Magic (Maryoku)
  86. Stm | Stamina at the start of battle.
  87. Guts | Crit roll 1 (Guts/10), Defend roll (half damage)(Guts/10),
  88. Remain at 1 HP rate (255 max)
  89. Luck | ?
  90.  
  91. - Base physical damage is ATP - 1,5*DFP. For the sake of convenience,
  92. enemy ATP values are divided by 1,5, so you can calculate base damage
  93. with 1,5(enemy ATP - DFP).
  94. - Enemies generally have low defense, which is why they're mostly absent.
  95. When a DFP value is given, it's already been multiplied by 1,5.
  96. - Crits do 1,5x damage and have a 50% chance to inflict stun, which lasts
  97. 2 seconds (or longer if re-inflicted). There seem to be two separate
  98. critical hit rolls. One defined by Guts (Guts/10) and another defined
  99. by the combined Crit values of your gear (Crit/5). When you get a Guts
  100. crit, you'll see 'Guts' pop up over the character (also happens with
  101. other Guts-related rolls). There's no 'double crit,' though, that would
  102. give you a greater damage multiplier. I think the second roll is passed
  103. if the first one succeeds.
  104. - The vast majority of enemies have a Crit value of 40, and only a few
  105. enemies have a Guts value greater than 0. Enemies with an exceptionally
  106. high Crit value will have their ATP marked with a 'c.'
  107. - The effect of Luck is a complete mystery. It plays no part in crits,
  108. that's for sure. It might have some impact on the encounter rate like
  109. it does in ToP.
  110. - Elemental resistance still comes in the same five flavors (neutral,
  111. resistant (0,5x), weak (2x), immune, absorb), although equipment can
  112. now make you weak to elements. A higher level resistance will supersede
  113. a lower level resistance (including weakness).
  114. - As a result of the random variable, damage varies between approximately
  115. 98-108%. (100-110% for magic)
  116. - There are no longer any attacks that have the energy-based attribute.
  117. - Knockback caused by attacks is still defined by Knockback and Weight
  118. values. Average Wgt is 8, and average Kb is 16. Most enemies are 8 Wgt.
  119. Lighter enemies are 4 or 6. Heavy enemies are 12-15 or even higher. A
  120. higher weight means less knockback and, thus, a shorter hitstun. Indeed,
  121. heavy enemies can easily punish you at close range, but their weight
  122. also makes them more vulnerable to multi-hit attacks, which aren't as
  123. effective on lighter enemies, as they're quickly pushed out of range
  124. (unless they're pinned down).
  125. - Movement speed (Mov) is in no way affected by Weight. Those are two
  126. separate things. Some battlefields have uneven ground, which has a minor
  127. impact on movement speed.
  128. - Block rate is calculated the same way as before: (tgtEva - Accy)/255.
  129. Attacks can only be blocked from the front. If a subject is moving away
  130. from the attacker even in the slightest angle, hits will be considered
  131. back hits. Otherwise, they're considered frontal hits. I don't know if
  132. Accuracy multipliers exist for waza.
  133. - Similar to ToP, battle skills gain Proficiency when used (1 point per
  134. use, up to 999). Reaching certain thresholds will then level up the move,
  135. although they can't level up mid-battle. There are no ougis to be learned
  136. the same way as in SO1.
  137. - Magic potency is similar as before, with a base potency figure along
  138. with Mag and Proficiency modifiers. For enemies, Proficiency = Level.
  139. - Healing spells don't use a random variable this time.
  140. - Post-battle recovery is still remaining Stamina/8 (percent). Stamina
  141. consumption is also very similar, as seen below. For whatever reason,
  142. only Claude, Dias, Ashton, and Bowman gain any Stamina from leveling up.
  143. - If you're moving and issue an attack command without stopping, this
  144. will still consume 1 Stm, as it results in a brief interruption in the
  145. movement input.
  146. 1 | Start moving
  147. 1 | Normal attack
  148. 2 | Waza
  149. 3 | Magic
  150. 1 | Get hit (dmg>0)
  151. 1 | Die
  152.  
  153. - Status ailments:
  154. - Stun: Unable to act for 2 seconds.
  155. - Poison: Lose 1/33 mHP periodically (both in battle and on the field).
  156. - Paralysis: Incapacitated.
  157. - Petrification: Incapacitated.
  158. - Silence: Unable to cast magic.
  159. - Instant Death (ID): Instant death.
  160.  
  161. - An attack can't inflict an ailment if it deals no damage.
  162. - Incapacitated (killed, paralyzed or petrified) characters don't gain
  163. any Exp. Resting will not heal paralysis or petrification. You can't
  164. heal the HP or MP of a paralyzed character with magic, but they can't
  165. take damage either.
  166. - You can no longer switch weapons or characters during battle and you
  167. still can't enable or disable spells during battle.
  168. - The game uses the same Exp chart as SO1 and SO3.
  169.  
  170. - You only have two slots for wazas (special techniques) this time. Some
  171. wazas behave differently depending on whether they're used at SR or LR.
  172. - Wazas have priority values that determine which one the AI will focus
  173. on using. (The actual mechanics of the prioritization are no doubt more
  174. nuanced than that, but this is the practical upshot.)
  175. - When the target is above the ground, the AI will ignore moves that
  176. don't have the "air flag." Some enemies that are merely floating a
  177. little above the ground are considered to be in the air, much to the
  178. detriment of the AI's performance.
  179. - If both moves have the same value, either both moves are used evenly
  180. or the first one takes priority (the latter mainly happens with high
  181. priority moves).
  182. - The AI will use normal attacks on a target whose current HP is low
  183. enough for the character to kill them in a single hit. If it's not
  184. quite that low, they'll use a lower priority waza instead.
  185. - A lower priority waza will also be used if the higher priority one
  186. deals no damage due to elemental resistance (Sword Bomber being an
  187. exception (likely an oversight)). Likewise, a lower priority move may
  188. be used if the enemy is weak to its element.
  189. - If the character's base damage is high enough, whatever move is in
  190. the first slot will be given priority. This won't happen with most moves
  191. with a value of 1 unless the damage is much higher than the threshold.
  192. The thresholds are roughly as seen below. If you're hovering just around
  193. the threshold, you can see both moves being used.
  194. 1000: Opera
  195. 2000: Chisato, Ernest
  196. 3300: Claude, Precis, Ashton, Bowman, Dias
  197. - Priority values seem to change with proficiency. The values I've
  198. listed are all based on max level waza.
  199. - If a character can't deal any damage to an enemy, they'll only use
  200. normal attacks.
  201. - Fighters will use healing moves when below 25%.
  202.  
  203. - Rena's AI settings:
  204. 1. Cast healing spells only (when below 2/3 HP). Avoid the enemy.
  205. 2. Cast all types of spells. Heal when below 2/3 HP. Avoid the enemy.
  206. 3. Healing only. Heal when at or below 50% HP. Avoid the enemy.
  207. 4. Don't cast spells. Avoid the enemy.
  208. 5. Don't cast spells. Engage the enemy.
  209. 6. Do nothing.
  210. - The AI won't consider a character to be a valid target for a healing
  211. spell if their max HP is less than 2/3 of the spell's base power.
  212. - The AI will still not cast a multi-target healing spell instead of
  213. a single target spell if single target spells are disabled.
  214. - The AI will cast Growth on a fighter whose base damage is less than
  215. 1/16 of an enemy's HP (no attacks required)(takes Auto-Anger into account)
  216. (elemental resistance not taken into account).
  217. - The AI will cast Protection on a character if an enemy's base damage
  218. is more than 1/6 of the character's max HP (no attacks required)(special
  219. attacks with increased ATP are not taken into account).
  220. - Enemies usually target the character closest to them, but also have a
  221. habit of going after a character that damaged them. Keep that in mind
  222. when using offensive spells.
  223.  
  224. - When choosing a blue target during battle, left and right let you
  225. scroll the characters in the order as seen in the status bar, whereas
  226. up and down use y-axis values. When choosing a hostile target, the
  227. cursor moves "visually."
  228. - The game does not prevent you from picking up items that you already
  229. have 20 of.
  230. - The Check accessories have been de-nerfed.
  231. - Characters reach 9999 HP between Lv100-110 and 999 MP around Lv180.
  232. - The game will use teal for unequipped items as if they were new.
  233. - New pieces of equipment are visible in teal in the equipment menu as
  234. well in v1.0, but not in later versions.
  235. - When shopping, pressing Confirm will now complete the transaction(s).
  236. You can still buy and sell at the same time.
  237. - The time it takes to escape from battle is 1 + 0,5(eLv - Lv) seconds,
  238. where eLv is the enemy's average level and Lv is your active party's
  239. average level. The time is 1s at minimum and 11s at maximum. Average
  240. enemy levels are included in the encounter list.
  241. - There's no way to turn off the music or voice acting. (I play the
  242. game on mute myself.)
  243. - If two spells are cast pretty much at the same time, it may produce
  244. a spell fusion effect, resulting in a more powerful spell. Regardless,
  245. magic is just not a good source of damage, so it doesn't really matter.
  246.  
  247. - IC works pretty much the same way as it did in SO1, although it's
  248. now quite a bit slower, with each attempt taking about 9 seconds (you
  249. can hold Confirm to speed up the process in the PSOne Books version).
  250. Going through 19 items takes about 3 minutes (90 seconds with speed up).
  251. On the plus side, the game no longer takes you back to the IC menu after
  252. an attempt, which makes it easier to do IC with a character who isn't
  253. the best at the skill - although it's still slower than before because
  254. of the longer animation, but at least it requires less input. Also, if
  255. more than one character is the best at a skill, the game no longer chooses
  256. one in random, but instead selects the one at the highest slot number.
  257. - The amount of SP gained when leveling up is about the same as your
  258. level figure.
  259. - The amount of bonus SP gained when learning a new Talent is now 100.
  260. - Skill levels are no longer rounded up.
  261. - Some characters start with levels in some skills (even without having
  262. bought the sets that include those skills). However, the characters will
  263. not receive any of the stat bonuses you would normally receive from
  264. raising the skill to that level.
  265.  
  266.  
  267. Second Evolution
  268.  
  269. - Second Evolution (SE) is still largely the same game. Here are some of
  270. the changes:
  271. × The screen is zoomed in, and areas that don't scroll on the x-axis
  272. have been stretched. All in all, the field visuals look worse, whereas
  273. the battle visuals look better.
  274. - Voice Collection is gone, replaced with the Voice Gallery, where you
  275. unlock all the character's voices by having them in your party when
  276. you beat the game. Beating the game also unlocks the higher difficulty
  277. levels.
  278. × Voice acting has been re-done and dialog is voiced.
  279. × Bug fixes (eg. no more crashing)
  280. × Fighters can do a combo with their normal attacks.
  281. × Characters are no longer interrupted if an enemy or another character
  282. is pushed on to them.
  283. × The Quick Change and AI Switch buttons are gone.
  284. × Four elements have been removed: Thunder, Star, Vacuum and Void.
  285. × Some spells have shorter animations.
  286. × Spell fusion is gone.
  287. × The battlefields are somewhat different and largely uniform (eg. the
  288. ones with more vertical space than horizontal space are gone).
  289. × In surprise encounters, your characters start off stunned.
  290. × The overworld camera doesn't pan automatically.
  291. × One new playable character.
  292. × The items in the game are largely the same, with the addition of Welch's
  293. weapons and the Umaibous.
  294. × Items are automatically sorted according to type.
  295. × The IC animation is different, and a single attempt is about 6s. It's
  296. faster than in v1.0 or v1.1, but still slower than in v1.2/1.3.
  297. × Kyouda, Chouhatsu and Float have been removed, while three new combat
  298. skills for mages have been added.
  299. × Piety only increases a random stat by 1.
  300. × The Energy Nede Snowfields encounter set is gone and along with it
  301. the three enemies exclusive to that encounter set (Saber Bunny, Snowman,
  302. Mount Snow).
  303. × The English version has plenty of name changes.
  304. × On the PS4, the game automatically highlights the least recent file
  305. in the save data screen. If you're doing two playthroughs at the same
  306. time, you need to be very careful when saving the game.
  307.  
  308.  
  309. Voice Collection
  310.  
  311. - Similar to SO1, the game features a sound player, where you can listen
  312. to the voice clips you've triggered. There are 1279 voice clips in total.
  313. Each fighter has about 90 clips, whereas each mage (4) has about 120.
  314. There are 3 bosses who are also part of the collection (about 20 each).
  315. The collection displays each clip as being part of an image that may
  316. eventually start to resemble something if you're industrious enough.
  317. (Just look it up online if you don't have the patience.)
  318. - The collection isn't just there to prey on compulsive behavior; if
  319. you manage to get 50% (640) of the voices, you'll be given access to
  320. the higher difficulty levels, Galaxy and Universe. Getting 75% (959)
  321. gives you a music player, and 95% (1215) adds a visualizer effect to
  322. the image.
  323. - Unfortunately, the game doesn't provide a figure for how many clips
  324. you've obtained, and checking your collection is rather tedious, as you
  325. can only browse them in order, one by one. Getting from the beginning to
  326. the end takes 43 seconds.
  327. - It's also regrettable that the collection doesn't have its own save file.
  328. Instead, it relies entirely on the game save files on the memory cards.
  329. - Getting your collection even close to max is a colossal task, however,
  330. and I really wouldn't recommend trying unless you're *incredibly* motivated.
  331. Getting those rare alternate clips takes ages.
  332. - You can listen to an unobtained voice if there's an obtained voice
  333. adjacent to it. Just move the cursor immediately after hitting O.
  334. - Once you've gotten enough voices to unlock the extra difficulty levels,
  335. you'll see a message that says "Please back to the title. And choose
  336. "New Game.""
  337.  
  338.  
  339. Bugs
  340.  
  341. - The game has bugs that cause crashing. Crashing can occur during battle,
  342. in the menu and during dialog. Hell, I've even gotten a crash when leaving
  343. the voice collection. Crashing in the menu is the least common, whereas,
  344. by far, the most common occurence of crashing is at the very end of a
  345. battle when the screen goes black. You may be able to reduce the chances
  346. of this occuring by avoiding unnecessary input at the end of a battle
  347. (don't even move the analog sticks). There are a couple of dungeons where
  348. crashing is much more common, but aside from that, it shouldn't be common.
  349. Crashing also seems less likely to occur on emulator.
  350. - Accessories that increase or decrease stats by a proportional figure
  351. are shown to only increase the base stat even though they actually affect
  352. the total figure. (It's not properly applied until you get into battle.)
  353. - When checking the Accuracy bonus of equipped gear at the start of battle,
  354. the game reads the Evade value instead. This renders any intended Accuracy
  355. bonus from all gear void, aside from proportional modifiers. Meanwhile, any
  356. gear that increases Evade by an absolute figure also increases Accuracy by
  357. the same figure (not visible in the menu).
  358. - The game is unable to turn off the echo multiplier (0,5) when using waza
  359. after using a normal attack (unless the echo hit misses in which case the
  360. multiplier isn't even used). [Fixed in v1.1]
  361. - If you change waza settings and leave the menu quickly, you won't have
  362. any encounters so long as you don't do anything that makes the game audibly
  363. seek something on the disc. The bug will also deactivate if you spend about
  364. half a second anywhere in the menu after setting a waza.
  365. - Opera's Heal Star won't heal the first character in the party nor will
  366. it power up from use, thus rendering the move completely worthless.
  367. [Fixed in v1.1]
  368. - When using Hop Step, Precis may jump hundreds of meters into the air
  369. if the enemy was above her.
  370. - If Ashton is set with Leaf Slash and Dead Triangle, Dead Triangle is
  371. likely to get bugged out, in which case trying to activate it will do
  372. nothing other than consume MP. When controlled by the AI, he'll just
  373. stand there and do nothing until he's out of MP. [Fixed in v1.1]
  374. - The AI does not acknowledge lowered MP costs. As a result, the AI won't
  375. use a move if the regular MP cost is higher than their current MP.
  376. - Some of the skill descriptions are incorrect in regards to the stat
  377. bonuses they provide.
  378. - Music bug: The tunes that are supposed to increase your stats during
  379. battle don't actually do anything *unless* you have Shugyou or Kaigan
  380. enabled. Turning on Shugyou for any reserve character is enough to resolve
  381. the issue,
  382. - Deep Mist is meant to decrease Accuracy, not Evade.
  383. - Hayate does nothing. Either that, or it's always in effect and does in
  384. fact increse movement speed, but only when executing an attack command.
  385. - Kikaisousa won't show up on your skill list unless you also have Kankaku 3.
  386. [Fixed in v1.1]
  387. - When checking Super Tokugi levels in the Skill menu, the game may show
  388. the skill levels of a former party member in an empty slot.
  389. - If Precis uses Barrier while poisoned, her sprite disappears momentarily.
  390. - The description of items and skills may become messed up.
  391. - If you revive / heal an incapacitated character after using the Escape
  392. command, the character will take minutes to run away.
  393. - Some voices simply cannot be obtained. Some of them are essentially beta
  394. leftovers, while some are just buggy. Eg. casting Ray as Rena produces
  395. Celine's Ray A clip (310), however it never gets flagged as obtained
  396. whether it's Rena or Celine who uses the clip. [Fixed in v1.1]
  397.  
  398.  
  399. New Game
  400.  
  401. - You'll go through some settings when you start a new game, but you can
  402. freely tweak them later. The three different "Battle Modes" are simply
  403. three different presets for the targeting, camera, and movement settings.
  404. - Check your Voice Collection before choosing New Game to have the option
  405. of playing on a higher difficulty level (provided you have enough voices
  406. unlocked). This is the one choice you can't change after the game has
  407. started.
  408. - Save files have no clear indicator as to what difficulty level they're
  409. on. You can still easily figure it out by checking some enemy's HP.

  494. 2/3. Semi-Auto / Manual: Pressing Confirm or one of the waza buttons
  495. triggers target selection and pressing one of them again executes the

  513.  
  514. - After some lengthy events, you are free to head out to the world map.
  515. Your destination is the next town, which isn't far, but you'll definitely
  516. want to get a few levels first. You can rest at the elder's house.
  517. - You should feint the Lizard Axes (by moving away, not sideways). After
  518. swinging the air, there's a decent chance they'll do nothing, thus allowing
  519. you to get a hit in.
  520. - If you input an attack command when you're close to the 'attack spot,'
  521. your character will make a little jump to the attack spot instead of using
  522. regular movement. This will eventually serve as a great disadvantage later
  523. in the game when you can double your movement speed and enemies get faster
  524. as well.

  533. - Talk to the old man in Alen's mansion, then return to Arlia, then come
  534. back.
  535. - The Heavy Ring increases a character's Weight by 10, greatly reducing
  536. knockback/hitstun. It does have some elemental weaknesses, though. (The
  537. Omotai Yubiwa does *not* increase Weight, despite what the name would
  538. suggest.)
  539. - You can use a Shouzouga to view an illustration of the character in
  540. question, but the item *will* be consumed in the process, and you're
  541. better off selling it (this one for 1600 Fol).

  572. - Capital letters indicate areas with items.
  573. - [R] You are in a very vulnerable position, seeing as Rena is never
  574. really meant to do physical battle. The enemies can strike you down with
  575. ease. You should save between every battle at first.
  576. - [R] You've got Heal and you can also return to the mansion to rest.
  577. - [R] Here's how to handle the four enemy types found here:
  578. - Lizard Axe: You can avoid their attack by moving away, but you need
  579. to let them pretty close before they attack. After avoiding the attack,
  580. you *usually* have a safe window to hit them. Usually. Once you manage
  581. to land one hit, you might as well button mash to try to finish them
  582. off right away. (No need to feint them in SE, since you actually have
  583. them beat in attack speed.)
  584. - Chinke Thief. You can't avoid their attack. It's simply too fast (0,1s).
  585. Instead, you need to try to get the frame advantage to interrupt it.
  586. Do so by attacking when you're in one of the four positions seen below:
  587. If successful, the thief will back away instead of attacking, thus
  588. giving you the advantage (doesn't work in SE. You'll just have to tank
  589. it). They're not particularly aggressive, though, so you can often take
  590. them out without any resistance.
  591.  
  592. R R
  593. T
  594. R R
  595.  
  596. - Kobold: Approach them the same way as Lizard Axes.
  597. - Vorpal Bunny: These guys move by hopping around, thus triggering your
  598. jump attacks when they're in the air. Their attacks are easy to evade
  599. (the ranged rocket punch will just straight up miss you if you don't
  600. move closer (fixed in SE)), but they hit the hardest, so you can't afford
  601. as many mistakes or as much bad luck. Try to catch them with a jump attack
  602. when they're landing from a jump. Avoid situations where you might get
  603. hit by a rocket punch while attacking another bunny.
  604. - Hitting multiple enemies with a normal attack is technically possible,
  605. but very rare.
  606.  
  607. [Boss]
  608. - 400 HP, 27 ATP, 0 Eva, 150 Exp, 500 Fol
  609. - Party: Rena, Claude. Maybe try to pincer him with both characters?
  610. - The ogre-type enemies' smack attack uses double ATP.
  611. - [R] On higher difficulty levels, the smack attack can kill Claude in a
  612. single hit. Do learn to avoid it. The regular attack is too fast to avoid,
  613. but he can easily survive that.
  614.  
  615. -- Arlia --
  616.  
  617. - [C] Go see the elder to get... more dialog (agh...).
  618. - [R] Try to go upstairs, then try to go to the forest. After some more
  619. talking time, you'll find yourself on the world map.
  620.  
  621.  
  622. - Camera rotation on the world map is fixed to L1 and R1. You can toggle
  623. the map with Start.
  624. - [R] You'll want to set Claude as the default controlled character during
  625. battle (in the formation menu). Get him some levels to boost his DFP. (The
  626. controlled character is actually set to the position, not the character.)
  627. - [C] Rena will need some levels, although no amount of levels will ever
  628. allow her to survive for long if and when targeted.
  629. - Although Claude swings his sword horizontally, it doesn't really have
  630. any horizontal range. It's got some reach, though, so if the enemy lines
  631. up neatly, then, yeah, you can hit multiple enemies, but, otherwise, no.

  638. Stamina +10, Luck +50), but they don't make any real difference.
  639.  
  640. - Do *not* attempt to explore the mountain (west from Cross)! Not quite yet.

  662. × Kankaku Lv1: Bitekikankaku, Mekiki, Nintai, Dokyou.
  663. × Gijutsu Lv1: Houchou, Kuchibue, Dessin, Copy.
  664.  
  665. - Do *not* put any SP into anything until you've maxed out Konjou (unless
  666. it only costs 1 point).
  667. - If Rena didn't start with Mikaku, she can easily learn it. Just try to
  668. cook some cheap stuff and load the game until she learns it.
  669. - If you want Opera in your party (and, by extension, Ernest), you need
  670. to start a PA here, then head to the second area where you will briefly
  671. run into Ernest. Don't forget that Opera and Ernest are mutually exclusive
  672. with Ashton.
  673. - Go to the castle. Once you're allowed to explore the place, just talk
  674. to pretty much any NPC and you'll be able to see the king.
  675. - As you're heading out of town, Celine will join your party (you can
  676. try to decline, but she won't take no for an answer). She's one of the
  677. two offensive mages in the game. However, you'll likely find her to be
  678. of more use in Item Creation and possibly stealing. At the end of Cross
  679. Cave, you'll need to decide whether to keep her in your party or not. If
  680. you're not planning on keeping her, make sure you get the most out of her
  681. brief stay. Max out her Asobigokoro (see below), craft some accessories
  682. (Silver Rings, Emerald Rings), and create some minerals for elemental
  683. resistance.
  684. - Celine's default spells: Firebolt, Wind Blade, Thunderbolt.
  685. - Talents Celine can easily learn (if she doesn't start with them):
  686. Originality, Kiyou na Yubisaki, Design Sense, Rhythm Kan, Onkan and
  687. Yasei no Kan.
  688. - Grinding for Talents will likely feel less tedious if you have something
  689. playing in the background (Hololive, perhaps?).
  690. - [C] You could now get a unique accessory called Leaf Pendant by doing
  691. a couple of PAs in Salva. It increases DFP by 30%, which is nice, but it
  692. can only be equipped by mages, so I wouldn't bother. You might be more
  693. interested in the +3 RP you get.
  694. - [C] There's a PA in Arlia with Celine that also gives you +3 RP.
  695.  
  696. - Head to the harbor town of Harley, at the east end of the continent.
  697. You'll pass by the town of Mars on your way. Near Mars is Cross Cave,
  698. your next main story destination.
  699. - Some people like to level up in the Rasgus Mountains (west of Cross)
  700. at this point in the game, but I really wouldn't recommend that. There's
  701. just no need.
  702. - If you run into a Robber Axe, run away.
  703. - Don't forget: block rate = (Eva - Accuracy)/255. You can always avoid
  704. blocks by hitting the enemy from behind. Increasing your Dex will boost
  705. your base Accuracy, but any intended Accy bonus from gear is moot thanks
  706. to the Accuracy bug (unless it's proportional, eg. Feet Symbol).

  722.  
  723. - The second batch of skill sets.
  724. × Chishiki Lv2: Seibutsugaku, Douguchishiki, Otamajakushi.
  725. × Kankaku Lv2: Asobigokoro, Kikenkanchi, Konjou, Poker Face.
  726. × Sentou Lv1: Kikou, Kyuushonerai, Kyouda, Cancel, [Trance].
  727.  
  728. - Konjou costs only 8 SP per level and decreases the SP cost of all
  729. skills by 2 points per level. Doryoku in SO1 was a worthwhile investment
  730. in the long run, but this one offers an even greater benefit, and faster.
  731. - Raising Asobigokoro gives you money (a total of 100 000 Fol from the
  732. 10 levels).
  733. - The Touzoku Tebukuro is required to use the Pickpocket skill, which
  734. allows you to steal items from any characters you can talk to (including
  735. your own party members). Doing so has a small chance of lowering FP,
  736. however (no, stealing during PAs doesn't help). It can even affect PCs
  737. that haven't joined you yet.
  738. - You only get one attempt at stealing per character (if a character
  739. appears in more than one location, that's considered a different instance).
  740. If you were to aim at zero failures, you'd have to spend quite a bit of
  741. time loading the game and retrying. However, the *overwhelming* majority
  742. of items obtained through stealing are of little to no consequence and
  743. can be obtained more easily some other way. As such, I do *not* recommend
  744. wasting much of your time using the skill. I'll make note of the few
  745. items I do consider worth picking up.
  746. - Unless the character has Kiyou na Yubisaki, Pickpocket will never
  747. succeed. You can learn it through Saiku, but only Celine has that at
  748. this point in the game. Other characters won't be able to learn it
  749. until you reach the next continent (after Monshou no Mori).
  750. - There are two ways to easily get the money for the Touzoku Tebukuro:
  751. 1. Increase Asobigokoro
  752. 2. Create Silver Charms (10k) and Silver Piasus (7,5k) with Celine.
  753. - Claude can easily learn Design Sense.

  763.  
  764. - You can access Monshou no Mori from the west side, although you can't
  765. explore most of it yet.
  766. - You can use the Tamatebako to obtain 3 random items from a pool of
  767. 223 items. Getting a good one isn't hard, but getting one in specific
  768. is another matter. I always settle for the first decent thing I get.

  786. Lyre Kokumotsu Mischief (Unique) (Philia [PA])
  787. Yasai Gyokairui
  788.  
  789. - One more time: while this is indeed your only brief opportunity to
  790. steal the Mischief accessory, I don't think it's worth the effort. If
  791. your main character is your thief, feel free to give it a few shots, but
  792. don't hesitate to just let it go. If you're determined to get it, get
  793. your Pickpocket to at least Lv8. And you *will* need that Dexterity on
  794. your main. Otherwise, forget it.
  795. - You *will* need to trigger the event with Philia if you want to be
  796. able to fight the stronger version of the final boss. (There's another
  797. event you still need to trigger later, so this one alone has no impact.)
  798.  
  799. - Right, so, if you're not planning on keeping Celine, have her do some
  800. crafting and alchemy now before she leaves. I recommend:
  801. × Renkin: Ruby, Sapphire, Crystal, Green Beryl.
  802. × Saiku: Silver Ring, Emerald Ring, Blue Talisman.
  803. - If you have the SP to spare, increase Claude's Kikenkanchi for a Stamina
  804. boost to increase post-battle regeneration and thus help you master those
  805. wazas (not that the early ones are particularly good, but still).

  842. you've been very impressed with her spells (except perhaps for Energy
  843. Arrow), and they're not really going to get any more useful. While the
  844. base values for spell damage are hovering around the same figures as
  845. before, the problem is that enemies have a lot more HP this time. Even
  846. if you do keep her, it's recommended that you replace her with a physical
  847. attacker. If you want to use her in Renkin, you'll need to keep leveling
  848. her up for some time to get it to max (and don't forget that you can't
  849. create the high-end metals without the support item).
  850. - If you're not keeping her, remove her gear before she leaves.

  855. Theft: Berserk Ring (Angry sailor, harbor)
  856.  
  857. - Once you've gone through the events here, Clic will become unavailable.
  858. - The sailor with the Berserk Ring won't appear until you've completed
  859. Cross Cave. The Berserk Ring doesn't have a DFP penalty this time. If you
  860. can't get it in a few tries, just move on.
  861. - Talk to the captain of the ship, then visit the fountain area. Go back
  862. and talk to the kid at the harbor who's not moving, then go to the first
  863. area to get your money back. Go talk to the two kids again. Talk to the
  864. captain and leave the harbor. After the FMV, talk to the captain and go
  865. see Ketil.

  894. - [R] ATTENTION! Do *not* use Dias's SP on anything that increases his
  895. stats. If or when he rejoins the party, his stats (including his level
  896. and SP) will reset back to default, although his skill levels won't.

  922.  
  923. - The next story events are in Lacour, but there's some optional stuff
  924. you can do before that.
  925. - If you're planning on getting Ashton (which prevents you from getting
  926. Opera and, by extension, Ernest), you need to talk to the two guys at the
  927. entrance to make Ashton appear at the Salva Koudou (this alone won't bar
  928. you from getting Opera). Before you head back there, though, you should
  929. take the ship to the Lacour continent to get the remaining skill sets as
  930. well as Precis (if you want her instead of Bowman).
  931. × It's difficult for me to recommend Bowman, as he's the only character
  932. who can't equip a single piece of armor that prevents Paralysis or
  933. Petrification.

  942. Sentou Lv2 1600 F Mandrake 150 F

  944. - Gijutsu Lv2: Craft, Bunpitsu, Kikaichishiki, Choukyou.
  945. - Sentou Lv2: Hayate, Renki, Feint, Mekuri, [Recast].
  946. × DON'T EVER INCREASE MEKURI!
  947. × Hayate has no effect.
  948. × SE: Hayate now actually works and does increase your movement speed.
  949. Additionally, it also gives you a chance of flying to your target at
  950. lightning speed.
  951. - That's the first of only 3 Pyre Tears in the game. It makes you weak
  952. to Water, but converts 10% of magical damage to MP.
  953. - Staying at the hotel triggers an optional event. This will even happen
  954. in the post-game, at which point it really doesn't make sense anymore.
  955. - You can now get the remaining skill sets. You can also start writing
  956. skill books, but they're not very useful this time.
  957.  
  958. -- Lacour Region --

  974. - Chishiki Lv3: Seishingaku, Youseiron, Piety.
  975. - Gijutsu Lv3: Kagakugijutsu, Ensou, Cast, (Kikaisousa)
  976. - One more time: Precis and Bowman are mutually exclusive.
  977. - To get Precis, trigger a PA event (on the north side with Claude,
  978. south side with Rena) after the initial non-PA event.
  979. - If Precis doesn't start with Originality, Kiyou na Yubisaki or Design
  980. Sense, she can easily learn them.
  981. - I mostly control Precis until I get Chisato. If I get Bowman instead
  982. (which I generally don't), I'll just stick to Claude.
  983. - Bowman isn't available until after the events in Lacour. You can
  984. explore Linga no Seichi right away, though, if you feel like it.
  985. - Get Precis's Machinery to Lv6 or so, so you can create an Iron Punch.
  986. Use it to create a Great Punch (Lv5 Customize is enough). Whether or not
  987. you got Precis, you'll want to use Machinery to create IC support items.
  988. Seeing as the kits are a bit pricey, I'd give it 5 tries before reloading
  989. (unless you're missing only a few items).
  990. - If you want more money, this is the stuff that's worth the most:
  991. Sankaku Flask, Gensobunsekiki, Graphic Tool, RIRICA, Survival Kit (for
  992. some reason, the Magician Hand is considered less valuable than the
  993. Touzoku Tebukuro)
  994. - Note that the IC menu wraps, so to get to Machinery, you only have to
  995. press up.
  996. - If you're planning on getting Opera as well, there's no need to try
  997. and create all of the support items right away.
  998. - You can also start making affinity books now, if you have any use for
  999. those. Don't forget that the effect applies in one direction only. Eg.
  1000. using Claude's RP book on Precis sets Precis' RP towards Claude to 8,
  1001. while Claude's RP towards Precis is unaffected. This is just an example,
  1002. by the way. Precis already starts with 8 RP towards Claude. If the value
  1003. is above 8, using a book will indeed bring it down.

  1012.  
  1013. - One more time: Ashton and Opera are mutually exclusive (and Opera is
  1014. required to get Ernest). It's possible to explore the dungeon without
  1015. Ashton joining you, however.

  1026.  
  1027. - When you catch up with Ashton in B2, he'll ask you to help him with his
  1028. situation (1st option to agree). If you refuse, you can still get Opera
  1029. instead, but if you approach Ashton again, he'll join you without giving
  1030. you a choice. If you want the treasure (which is nothing impressive), but
  1031. don't want him, you have two choices:
  1032. a. Refuse to help him, then leave Salva, and he'll be gone.
  1033. b. Don't trigger the scene in B2 and come back after the events in Lacour.
  1034. - Ashton can easily learn Originality, Kiyou na Yubisaki, Rhythm Kan and
  1035. Onkan.
  1036. - I don't think there's anything you can do to get rid of Ashton, so
  1037. completing his sidequest is entirely optional (you need to do it for
  1038. the Trophy, though). Completing it does give +2 RP between him and all
  1039. other characters, both male and female, making it one of the few events
  1040. that increases RP between same-sex characters. Getting Opera & Ernest
  1041. is another one. (Ashton / Opera & Ernest give more RP than other optional
  1042. characters, since you have to complete an optional dungeon and fight some
  1043. optional bosses.)

  1136. and talk to the other receptionist to sign up for the tournament.

  1138. You have to use the items provided by one of the four possible sponsors
  1139. found on the east side of town (3 on the street, 1 inside a shop).

  1141. stay at the inn.

  1143. bar and try to leave. Afterwards, return to your room. Next, make your way
  1144. to the stadium and talk to the receptionist. You will briefly team up with
  1145. Dias again. He'll come with whatever equipment you left him with. Go to
  1146. Gamgee's shop on the west side of town then the bar. Next, go talk to the
  1147. receptionist at the stadium. Dias leaves at this point. Next, go talk to
  1148. Claude among the audience, then Gamgee on the other side, then return to
  1149. the north side. After the battles, just leave and come back.
  1150. × [R] Claude will be controlled by the AI in these battles. He only has
  1151. to beat a single Troll to reach the finals (more in Claude's story).
  1152. - [C] Make your way to the stadium and talk to the receptionist, then the
  1153. fighters in the waiting room. After the first and third battles, go talk

  1252. - 5000 HP, 160 Eva, 273 ATP, W:W, R:FT, 8000 Exp, 16k Fol, 2x Reflection Rings
  1253. - The large lizards are among the most dangerous enemies in the game.
  1254. If you're prevented from being pushed back, their breath attack will
  1255. repeatedly hit you at an incredibly high rate. You can easily avoid it
  1256. when in manual control, but the AI-controlled characters won't stay
  1257. standing for long, not on a battlefield this small. Aside from that,
  1258. there's their normal attack, which is simply too fast to evade (at
  1259. least without double speed).
  1260.  
  1261. - Visit E8 for a scene.

  1268. - Go to the forest for a scene. You'll receive the weapon if you have
  1269. Precis in your party.
  1270.  
  1271. - Both Precis and Opera have some battle skills that they can only learn
  1272. from items they've created through Machinery. Of these, I would only
  1273. recommend Precis's Barrier (from Plasma Biribiri Bou).

  1305. - 10 000 HP, 80 Eva, 333 ATP, W:TL, I:V, 12 600 Exp, 21 000 Fol
  1306. - Normally I would advise you to run away from the slug-type enemies, but
  1307. since this is a boss, you don't have that option. The reason I would tell
  1308. you to avoid these enemies should quickly become apparent. Any character
  1309. that gets close to them is very likely to end up eaten and thus incapacitated.
  1310. If all characters get eaten, it's game over. Each slug can only hold one
  1311. character at a time. They'll spit out the character if attacked. Since you
  1312. likely have a party of 4 characters, you don't really have to worry about
  1313. this one.

  1337.  
  1338. - Go to the castle's basement. Talk to Gamgee in the main hall on your way.
  1339. - [R] Since there's no way to keep Leon in your party, you should max
  1340. out his Asobigokoro before he leaves after the next dungeon.
  1341. - Link Combo has been brutally nerfed. It requires an accessory slot,
  1342. only allows you to link two moves, doesn't let you set one move more
  1343. than once, and, last but not least, requires that you prevent another
  1344. character from using waza. It's not really that big a deal seeing as
  1345. you can now execute waza with a single press of a button (at least with
  1346. Auto targeting).

  1661. × Barrier Armor (Ori): Ashton, Opera, Bowman, Chisato
  1662. × Mythril Dress (Myt): Rena
  1663. × Mythril Shield (Myt): Claude, Ernest, Dias
  1664. × Jeanne Shield (Mn): Precis, Chisato
  1665. × Star Greaves (Met): All fighters who don't have Bunny Shoes
  1666. × Star Guard (Met): Opera, Ashton, Bowman
  1667. × Witch Boots (Mn): Rena
  1668. - Once you have the Rasp, you should get these:
  1669. × Duel Suit (Dam): Claude, Ashton, Dias
  1670. × Sylvan Mail (Met): Chisato, Precis, Opera
  1671. × Mirage Robe (RM): Rena
  1672. × Duel Helm (Dam): Claude, Ashton, Bowman, Ernest, Dias
  1673. × Pallas Athena (Myt): Claude, Precis, Ernest, Dias
  1674. - With these, you can finally let go of the Check accessories for most
  1675. characters. You'll want to replace them with Berserk Rings, Atlas Rings
  1676. and Might Chains. Opera and Ashton can't get immunity to Paralysis from
  1677. anything other than the accessory, but having one character vulnerable
  1678. to it is no big deal. As already mentioned, Bowman gets the short end
  1679. of the stick, as he can't equip a single piece of armor that would
  1680. protect him from Paralysis or Petrification.
  1681. × The Atlas Ring makes you weak to all elements, but this should only
  1682. occasionally become an issue.
  1683. × The Sylvan Mail has Wgt +2, which helps reduce hitstun a little.
  1684. - When using Blacksmith, I usually give it two tries before I load the
  1685. game.

  1689.  
  1690. Shop: Theft:
  1691. Evening Dress 5000 F Bunny Shoes (Guy in bunny suit)
  1692. Bannoubouchou 12 000 F
  1693.  
  1694. - The Bunny Shoes double your movement speed.
  1695. - You can get more Bunny Shoes from the Bunny Races. Forget the stats.
  1696. Just bet on the shoes whenever they show up. The odds aren't that good,
  1697. so if it feels too tedious, just move on.
  1698.  
  1699. - The arena (tougijou) has four modes: Duel Battle, Bullying Battle,
  1700. Team Battle and Survival Battle.
  1701.  
  1702. × Duel Battle involves fighting 4 battles one-on-one. You can win each
  1703. prize once with each character. If you've already won an item with a
  1704. specific character, you'll get a cash prize of 10 000 Fol instead.
  1705.  
  1706. × Bullying Battle involves fighting 3 groups of enemies with a single
  1707. character.
  1708.  
  1709. × Team Battle involves fighting up to 5 one-on-one battles with up to
  1710. 5 different characters. It ends once you've either won or lost 3 matches.
  1711. The enemies are fought in random order except for the fifth one. A
  1712. single character can be chosen more than once but not in consecutive
  1713. battles. If a character chosen more than once falls, they'll be revived
  1714. with 1 HP in their next battle. If a character is paralyzed or petrified,
  1715. they will not be healed and thus will inevitably lose their subsequent
  1716. matches. You can get the prizes 3 times.
  1717.  
  1718. × Survival Battle involves fighting 50 battles with a single character.
  1719. The reward is the Fortune accessory (Unique). I've never actually gotten
  1720. it myself, though. Dias with Air Slash is probably your best shot (if you
  1721. have him).
  1722.  
  1723. - Like before, you'll be provided with a few healing items (as seen below)
  1724. and you can't use any of your own. You can't keep any of the items the
  1725. enemies may drop.
  1726. × Duel: 3x Blueberries, Blackberry, Aquaberry
  1727. × Bullying / Team: 5x Blueberries, Blackberry, Aquaberry
  1728. × Survival: 5x Blueberries, 5x Blackberries, 3x Aquaberries,
  1729. 3x Maple Syrup, 5x Sweet Syrup, 5x Sour Syrup, Fruit Syrup, 5x Lavender,

  1761.  
  1762. - Without the new Blacksmith gear, your chances of getting past any
  1763. Ericoduses aren't too good. Even with it, characters with low Con (such
  1764. as Chisato) will need a little luck.
  1765. - Reflect Guarders can be tricky, but they'll occasionally just wander
  1766. around giving you a chance to hit them in the back. The following wazas
  1767. also work: Barrier, Bloody Mary, Kabutowari (from an angle), Dead Triangle.
  1768. - Dragon Axes will only attack you if you attack them or get close to them.
  1769. - Foragers will likely block all of your frontal attacks. If they're
  1770. going to use their jump attack or fireball attack, you can hit them in
  1771. the back by executing a fast close-range waza while close to them in
  1772. an angle.
  1773. - Make sure you pick up a Dream Crown for Rena.

  1792. - I got more post-battle crashes here than anywhere else. I had to run away
  1793. from all battles to avoid it (not that running away prevents the crashing,
  1794. but it does make things faster).
  1795. - The Fenrir Beast's breath attack is Water-elemental.

  1852. - There are 5 fixed Yeti encounters here. They pose no threat whatsoever,
  1853. but they'll try to get to the switch that's behind you. If one of them
  1854. does, the battle ends and the path will end up blocked. If a character
  1855. is standing in front of the switch, they won't be able to get to it and
  1856. they'll attack instead. You can just put Rena there and turn off her AI.
  1857. She'll start off there if you use the Free Fight formation.
  1858. - In A4, there's a spot where you'll be given the choice to shout. Doing
  1859. so kicks you off the mountain. If you fail too many Yeti encounters, this
  1860. will be the only way you can leave the dungeon.
  1861. - In SE, the Marvel Sword can't be blocked, which makes it one of the best

  1930. - The enemies in the rock demon family have only one attack: Lost Patience.
  1931. It deals normal damage, but freezes time and hits all characters. It's used
  1932. whenever the demon has lost 10% mHP (15k in this case). It's not defined

  2041. time casting it. Or you can just equip Poison Checks.
  2042. - Michael's Spicule hits all characters and deals 4x damage. Better have
  2043. some Fire resistance. You have about half a second to interrupt it. His
  2044. Explode does 5500 pod (occasionally also uses Eruption and Cure All).
  2045. - Haniel's Mind Blast hits characters in a linear path and does double
  2046. damage. His physical attacks can Poison and Petrify you. His more common
  2047. normal attack is a laser that hits multiple times at 0,5x damage in a
  2048. linear path. He can cast Blood Scylla (1500 pod, his most common spell),
  2049. Tractor Beam (3000 pod, uncommon) and Lost Mental (330 MP).
  2050. - Each one has 23 clips for the voice collection, at least technically.
  2051. Some of them seem to be bugged out and unobtainable. Very nice. Either
  2052. way, getting those rare clips takes fucking ages and you may have to
  2053. create save files solely for those clips. I wouldn't bother. At least
  2054. get the easy ones, though. After the battle, save to another slot, then
  2055. get wiped out (use Nightmare Pots or Mandrakes on your whole party), so
  2056. you can go check them. The rare ones are 1232, 1245, and the alternate
  2057. spell clips. When trying to get the alternate opening clips on a subsequent
  2058. playthrough, use a Nuclear Bomb to quickly get a game over.

  2086. - DO NOT PRESS THE SWITCH IN g3! Doing so will permanently shut the
  2087. door to G8.
  2088. - *: I believe it's read Kouro, but I'm not sure.
  2089.  
  2090. [Boss] (i8) FWTIESULDV
  2091. - 300 000 HP, 900 DFP, 460 Eva, 1533 ATP, 5900 MP IIIRIIIRR
  2092. - 460 000 Exp, 80 000 Fol
  2093. - Horobi no Kaze is Wind-elemental and hits all characters at 3,5x
  2094. damage. You have a small fraction of a second to interrupt it. His
  2095. normal attack is Thunder-elemental. He can cast Word of Death (no clips,
  2096. it would seem) and Demon's Gate (3500 pod, V). Might take a while before
  2097. he uses Demon's Gate. Set your fighters on Manual and just wait.
  2098. - Since he's a floater, the AI won't be using anything you want it to
  2099. use (except for Opera). You can remedy that by constantly switching
  2100. between two (or maybe even three) characters. [This has been changed
  2101. in the PSP version, which makes things so much easier.]
  2102. - He's got 23 clips as well. 17 of them are easy. There could be more
  2103. unobtainables than the ones I've listed.
  2104.  
  2105. [Boss] (l4)
  2106. - 500 000 HP, 450 DFP, 350 Eva, 1267 ATP, 704 Mov, 10 000 MP
  2107. - His normal attack is Star-elemental and deals 3x damage.
  2108. - Divine Wave is a ripple that hits multiple times at 0,5x damage. He
  2109. uses it a lot, which is unfortunate, seeing as a single one will quickly
  2110. kill any characters that come into contact with it. Try jumping over them.
  2111. - Shinkyoku hits all characters at 3,5x damage.
  2112. - Spells: Star Flare, Noah, Southern Cross, Explode, Earthquake, Curse,
  2113. Angel Feather, Fairy Heal (8440 HP). (2500 Mag)
  2114. - Star Flare: 4000 pod, L
  2115. - Noah: 4100 pod, W
  2116. - Southern Cross: 7000 pod, S
  2117. - Explode: 13 000 pod, F
  2118. - Earthquake: 13 000 pod, E
  2119. - Phase 1: Divine Wave, Star Flare, Noah, Fairy Heal
  2120. - Phase 2 (below 2/3 HP): + rest & float status
  2121. - Phase 2 won't actually start until he's used Time of Truth. You have a
  2122. very small window for interrupting it, so if you just keep him stunlocked,
  2123. he'll never get to use it.
  2124. - He can cast spells while moving.
  2125. - Stun bombs don't seem to work.
  2126.  
  2127.  
  2128. - The dialog during the second part of the ending runs automatically,
  2129. although you can speed it up with manual input.
  2130.  
  2131. - After using the final save point, you can return to Expel by talking
  2132. to an old man at the arena in Fun City.
  2133. - If you do a Private Action in Central City, there's an event you can
  2134. trigger in Narl's office that will make the final boss even harder than
  2135. he already is. This process is irreversible and I do *not* recommend it.
  2136.  
  2137. -- Arlia --
  2138.  
  2139. Theft: Santa Boots (little kid)
  2140.  
  2141. - To return to Energy Nede, talk to the penguin and choose the 2nd option.
  2142. - None of the optional characters can join you anymore at this point. That
  2143. bridge has sailed.
  2144.  
  2145. - There's an optional dungeon (Shiren no Doukutsu (Cave of Trials)) on
  2146. the southwest island.
  2147.  
  2148.  
  2149.  
  2150.  
  2151. End of file.
