A: Not really, you just need to have 3k Zenny by the end.

Q: Is making Geo's name shorter make the text faster?
A: No, if you make Geo's name for example just G, the game will add two spaces in all text boxes that include his name. So it'll be like "Hey G  , how are you?". Also most boxes that include his name, can just be skipped.

A: Depends on your game, if you're on Red Joker it's Wolf Noise. If you're on Black Ace, it's Gemini Noise

Q: What's the percent meter in the top right?
A: That's the Noise meter. 50% = your Noise Change activates. 100% = Ability to damage enemies in their invincibility frames. 200% = Ability to finalize to Black Ace or Red Joker and it reverses cards that affect enemy positions.

A: Illegal Card Data, basically if you delete a virus with a lot of Noise, you can obtain illegal cards which are either cards from previous Star Force games or just random cards. (Cards from prior games don't count towards your library)
