VIEW STATS- Translation soon.. TEAM OPTIONS - 1 CHANGE POSITIONS: (lets you change the character battle positions) - 2 LOSE CHARACTER: (Deselect extra character ie: chain, pepper or Gregory.) OPTIONS> 1 MUSIC - BACKGROUND/FOREGROUND 2 UNKNOWN AS OF YET 3 CONTROL CONFIG: select: deselect/jump: menu: walk/run: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- 3: Battle mode translation. translation of battle menu.. 1= Attack: normal attack 2= magic(FP): Each character has different attacks and healing abilities etc these use FP which is magic.(you get this by killing enemies or using potions) translations may follow. 3= Use item: use magic like fire or heal (translations may be possible soon) 4= Move Character: lets you move either forward or backward, this helps you to get all characters into a line to use Linear's heal to full effect(also to escape enemies such as boss ones suck n chew move) 5= miss a go: you stupid or what?!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- 4: Item translation. mmm now heres where things get extra tricky. all i can say is use trial and error techniques to find out what does what. HP 100 & 300 should be pretty obvious but writing down each symbol and then writing its effect. eg: (/\-J") = 300 HP (not identical to the original but helpful) note: i will write down more later. you can sell useless items at the shop in the village. but before you do equip your new weapons + armour to your characters because you dont want to sell them! note: if you give this money to the girl in the society building then she'll give you a stonkin new weapon! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- 5: Main walkthrough You start off in a battle with two enemies. just attack them You will then meet chain the jetpack boy. Go to the society in the village and talk to the girl. chose the first option to show you a map of where you need to go next. Now go back to your house and get Gregory the butler choose the second option and he is a member of your party.(i dont know wether or not you can get chain yet but he's in the bus) now go to your runway and get in the plain to the first dungeon. DUNGEON 1: In the dungeons you can get items from chests and fight enemies to increase you exp. your main goal is to find the next floor. when you reach this place you can then save your game (the second option) or go to the next floor (the first) the red dots on the radar show your enemies and the white show item boxes or warps. IF YOU SEE LITTLE SQUARE DENTS ON THE FLOOR THEN THEY ARE RANDOM THINGS SUCH AS HP UPS OR TRAPS BY EITHER ENEMIES OR FLAMES. YOU CAN ALSO FIND CONFUSION GAS WHICH MESSES UP YOU CONTROLS. IF YOURE FEELING HARD THEN ITS WORTH THE RISK BUT I'D AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE! Note. you can get a map item which lets you see what the block is. if you use it then you know what the trap is. it also show the enemis and boxes that are available on the floor. When you get to floor 10 you should be on at least level 10 to kill the boss. you have the coice to save (via the blue green swirly pad) or to go to the society to replenish health and sell special items to the bloke on the opposite counter to the woman. this money will help you to by the big weapon or to buy power ups from the shop. (you can also sell unuseful items at the shop and buy HP ups etc.) Afterwards head back to the runway (near you house) and use the map screen to choose which floor to travel to. note. this is only when you warp to society. Boss 1: the mean green momma: this bitch'll suck you towards her and spit you out for some serious damage! so always try to move back a step when she pulls you towards her. wipp her ass with you attack and magic that you have and she will be gone. After killing the boss you should find yourself in the mansion with your butler. After the long sequence go back to society and ask the woman for your next mission. you can now get rid of the butler and use either Mag or Chain by selecting the second option for each they are in the bus or the Cafe. now you shoul go back to the plane and you will find yourself on a dock with a huge boat. go into it via the lift and make you way up to the typical japanese colonel. after the long sequence you should get in you plain and go to dungeon 2 DUNGEON 2: mmm.. I'm still on it ive got to the 10 th floor and I can say that you'll have to get to exp level 20 for this boss because the path up to him is very demanding. you'll need tonnes of fire, ice and bolt magic and also lots of HP ups etc save at the society warp point near the end of the dungeon. ill continue this soon.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- 6: Extras. in the dungeons you'll find alot of special items that can be sold to the guy at society. this can earn you mega bucks to buy power ups or the Big weapon. more as it comes.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- 7: Thanks. thanks to my uncle Simon Tsui and Auntie Gina Luk in HongKong for getting this game for me! and to the staff at Gamestation Leicester for getting my dreamcast so efficiently.. the ultimate console. cheers...
