Romancing SaGa 3

Romancing SaGa 3



- Crown: (TP + 5)/(MP + 5) >= 10
- HP maxes out at 999, TP at 250, skill levels at 50. You only gain 1
HP per battle after reaching 800 HP or so (unless other characters
already have 999 HP). To reach max TP, you need four skills at Lv40 or
so. Getting a weapon skill to Lv50 isn't really all that hard (though
it does take a while) so long as you don't run away from battles. Each
character has a battle count that goes to 0 when they level up or when
you run away, and the battle count is a factor in determining a character's
odds of leveling up.
- The Reviver spell might seem pretty sweet at first - it automatically
revives a dead character with full HP. However, there is a bit of a
catch. It takes 16 MP to cast, and when the effect is triggered, it
also takes 16 MP from the target (or any MP they have if below 16).
The problem is this counts as the target casting a spell, thus enabling
the character to increase their magic skill level and gain MP. If you're
determined to keep a character's TP crown, you can't let their MP get
any higher than 25. I myself kept the TP crown for two characters.
- The only piece of armor that makes you immune to Charm is the Seiou
no Kabuto.
- Forneus' Maelstrom inflicts Instant Death and targets all characters.
You can survive it by equipping the Kouryuu no Yoroi and the Ouke no
Yubiwa. Try to use Reviver to keep the other characters alive. You
really don't want to fight him with only two characters.


- When starting a new game, you can choose a main character from a
roster of no fewer than 8 different characters. The game is largely
the same for each character. Their stats vary as seen below:

              HP   Str  Dex  Spd  Con  Mag Will  Chr Default Type

 Katarina  | 140 | 16 | 20 | 24 | 15 | 12 | 17 | 17 |  2        |

- Next, you have to choose your main character's planetary alignment.
This will alter the character's stats like so:

- Your default weapon choice also affects your stats and determines the
main character's Spark Type.

- Each character has eight slots for waza, and new waza can be randomly
learned - or 'sparked' - by performing attacks.
- The character's Spark Type has a major impact on their ability to spark
new waza. Each type has a pool of waza that the character can learn (much)
more easily than waza that aren't on the list. The odds of sparking a move
are defined by a base calculation of Sparking Difficulty - Enemy Spark Lv.
If the result is less than -9, the move cannot be sparked. If the move
isn't on the character's type list, the odds of sparking are always a
measly 0,9% (unless the result is less than -9). The odds of sparking are
reduced with each move that has already been sparked during a given battle.
- Some of the hardest moves to learn can actually be easier to learn with
the wrong type of character, at least without a TP crown. Unless you dabble
in magic, you'll definitely get that crown, though. Even with a crown, the
hardest moves are only marginally easier to learn (1,4% or 2%).
- Once you've sparked a move, you have to master it by using it. The odds
vary between 1-12% per use as defined by the move's (modified) TP cost.
The lower the TP cost, the better the odds. At most, four moves can be
mastered during a given battle. A mastering roll is made even when you
first spark a move.
- Once a move has been mastered, you can freely teach it to any character.
