Author's note :
-------------
When I saw so many people liked WPJ2 but couldn't understand it,
I decided to make this FAQ. Unfortunately, it is uncomplete, because
I myself managed to get only 76% of the game. BUT this is enough to
finish the game ! I hope it will help, anyway. I'll complete it if
I can, with your help.
I also want to tell you readers that I'm french, so some of my ways
of saying are likely to sound a bit strange, sometimes. This is my
first FAQ. Don't hesitate to e-mail me any (good or bad) comments,
(especially) corrections, requests, etc, at feena@worldnet.net
I'd also appreciate it if some people could help me take this FAQ
to 100%.French readers, if you want a french version of this FAQ,
please ask. I may make one if I get a lot of askings...
If you want to put my walkthrough on your page, well, I can't prevent
you from doing it, but at least please tell me so.
And if you do put it on your page, don't change anything in the text
please. If something seems wrong to you, please e-mail me.
Feel free to link the page where you found this.
IF YOU MAIL ME, PLEASE INCLUDE " WONDER " IN THE SUBJECT. Thanks.
About Wonder Project J and Pinocchio
------------------------------------
Wonder project J is an exceptionnal game as it is one of the very
few RPG inspired by a world masterpiece, Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio.
Moreover, it's made by Enix (Dragon quest).
WPJ is kind of a modernized version of Pinocchio. In Wonder project
J : Kikai no shounen Pino, Pr Geppetto had made Pino the little
Gijin (robot), but was abducted before he could give him a decent
education. Only Tinker the little fairy, an interface robot, was
remaining to accomplish this task, that's why she summoned someone
from another world to help Pino on his way. Pino would have been
able to become a real boy, like in Pinocchio, once he would have
awakened his 7 hearts (by accomplishing 7 achievements).
Of course, it's not so obvious in WPJ2, because you don't have so
many names from Pinocchio.
Characters :
----------
Translator notes : I tried to translate the names as well as I
could. Most of the characters' names sound english or french, so
I tried to write them that way. For example Josette is a french
first name which is actually not very common (and a bit ridiculous).
Oh, maybe that name exists also in other languages... Well... I
on't know, anyway. Other names are french such as " Elegant ". And
the name of the chef sounds a lot like the french word " gourmet ",
so I wrote it " Gourmen ". The family names appear only in the
ending credits of the game. Of course some names might sound a bit
strange and fitting too well to the characters, like Gante Worker,
Geppetto Lamarck, Karen Honest...
Main characters :
---------------
Josette : Pr Geppetto's model 5984 android is a young girl. (Pino
was model 4649). Like Pino, she was given the " J " which could help
her become humain
Geppetto Lamarck : Geppetto's dream was to build a Gijin who would
look exactly like a human in every ways. But, he was old, and had
had trouble with Corlo's former government (in WPJ 1). He had to put
Josette in a safe place before he died : on Blueland.
Bird : Aka Interface robot model 5980... This robot is the only way
to communicate with Josette. It's your cursor...
Pino : The hero of Wonder Project J. Although he doesn't appear in
Wonder Project J 2, he's often mentionned. Also made by Pr Geppetto,
he sadly died before becoming a human, as we see in the introduction.
Pokko : Doesn't he remind you of someone ? Not only he is queen
Tiffany's son but he's also the... reincarnation of Pino ! He's the
spittin' image of Pino, and somehow has the same temper.
Other characters :
----------------
Clara : A nice blind girl.
Doro & Bou : Those two are former thieves from Wonder project J.
They became honest. Notice that " dorobou " means " thief ".
Fater Harben : Harben's father ('s ghost), who was a martial arts
master.
Fisher : An experienced fisherman, with a typical fisherman's way of
talking !
Fraken : Siliconian's mean scientist.
Galon Honest : Karen's husband, who abandoned his family and entered
the army for some reasons...
Gante Worker : The grumpy boat & plane repairer. He just looks like
one of Miyazaki's characters.
Gedo : This hooded man is looking for young girls to beat...
Gourmen : the world number 1 chef.
Harben : One of the army's leader. Is he as kind as he seems to be ?
Hols, Rostam, Lidal : Three regular customers of Karen's restaurant.
We soon learn they belong to the Revolution Army.
Jichael : A trendy dancer that appears in the movie " sound of dance ".
Karen Honest : Formerly the leader of the Yamaneko thief band in
Wonder Project J, she now runs a restaurant on the Megafloat Noah.
Katze the cat : Karen's friend ; it's a actually a she.
Movie director Lumiere & Alan : A movie maker and his assistant. They
will be expelled from Blueland because their movies do not praise
the Siliconian army...
" Medusa " Siliconian 13th : the mysterious cruel emperor. You only
get to see his face in the ending...
Messala the 3rd : WPJ1's bad guy, a Gijin just like Josette. In
WPJ1, he was Corlo's tyrannic leader, and abducted Pr Geppetto
because he wanted the " J ".
Pearl Elegant : The posh daughter of the mayor. You'd better be her
friend...
Paul : The townhall employee, who soon gets a crush on Josette !
Sapphire Honest : Karen's rebellious daughter, who could never
accept her father's betrayal.
Zampagne : A strong man who breaks chains on the plazza.

Mini FAQ
--------
- What is a Gijin ?
Gijin is the word used to call robots in the game. Most Gijins come
from Corlo island. The gijins respect Asimov's Robots' Three
essential rules, which means they must not hurt humans.
- How do I teach Josette something ??
With the bird, you point at the object. She'll react in a certain
way, and then you have to praise her or to scold her.
When she has understood, she should say " Wakatta wa ! " (I got it !)
- Josette is very angry/very sad, and won't do anything. What should
I do ?
Give her a flan, it should cheer her up.
- Josette refuses to read a book. What should I do ?
She probably doesn't have enough MP anymore. Have her rest or drink
oil.
- Oh my ! I don't have any more Oil, and the shop won't sell me any.
Why ?
It's because you're carrying too many bottles. Sell the empty bottles
first.
- How do you open the door under water ?
You need to enter a secret code that you can guess when you have the
fisher's license (there's a clue on it). It's B, B, B, A.
- Oh no ! Josette's eaten an object... Is it bad ?
No. Don't worry. She should only eat objects that you can buy from
the shop, and it's not bad for her health.
- How do I pilot the Dolphin ?
Go faster with A, slow down/stop with B.
Go up with Down, go down with Up.
To give up piloting and go back, push R then A.
To catch fish and treasures, use Z.

* Walkthrough *
* *
******************
Let's get started. First, I have to tell that Wonder project J 2 is
NOT linear. There are 25 " achievements " (or " goals ") you must
accomplish, but you are not obliged to do them in one particular order.
Of course, some must be done before others. Each of them give you 4%.
To check which ones you've got, go with the bird on the toolbar and
press A over the bird's head. You'll access to the Achievements Memo,
where all of those you have are listed. I listed here the achievements
as they are in the memo :
The 25 achievements :
-------------------
1. Learned how to greet people
2. Learned how to cook
3. Learned how to clean
4. Learned how to wash oneself
5. Mastered the piloting of the Dolphin
6. Mastered the piloting of the Seaba
7. Learned how to get fishermen's qualification
8. Received initiation (about fighting)
9. ?
10. Was recognized as an accomplished barehand fighter
11. Got Miss Goddess Contest Second Prize
12. Became an actress
13. ?
14. ?
15. Learned how to sing well
16. Learned how to dance well
17. Made up a story
18. Learned how to tell the fortune
19. Saw the " dream "
20. Found the " past "
21. ?
22. Understood Life and Death
23. ?
24. Understood Love
25. ?
...And this is the order I did them in : 1, 15, 2, 5, 20, 16, 22,
3 & 4, 11, 24, 12, 8,
6, 10, 7, 19, 18, 17...
Of course doing them in the " right " order can surely do no bad...
I tried to, once, but I didn't manage to get achievement 4 after
achievement 3, neither to get 8 right after 7... Nevermind.
I can guess some of the missing achievements must be :
- Found a treasure in the mine (several people told me there was
a treasure in the mine, but I didn't find it).
- Understood " Happiness "
- Saw the " future "
- Got first place in the submarine race.
I truly wonder what is achivement #25... Found love, maybe ?
Anyone knows ?
Some events can only occurr after others did. If you get stuck
because something " won't happen ", go everywhere and some
encounters may trigger new things. I did my best to try to know
which things went before which ones, but it's hard to tell.

About Blueland history :
----------------------
Juste like Corlo, Blueland used to be a peaceful island until the
Siliconian Empire, led by Siliconian the 13th invaded it to use
its important mineral resource, the mines of Proton, and chased
its inhabitants to an artificial steel island, the Megafloat Noah.
This is where our story begins.
All the characters met by Josette are former inhabitants of
Blueland that were forced to leave the island, and the island
is mainly occupied by Siliconian soldiers, who... aren't kidding...
Introduction
------------
Wonder Project J 2 is one of those rare sequels that take place
exactly after the first episode. Or should I say, exactly 15 years
after the first game. This means you'll meet quite a lot of
characters from Wonder project J. In the introduction of the game,
you'll see a short summary of what happened at the end of Wonder
Project J (although I'm not 100% sure about that, since I haven't
finished WPJ ^_^ ;). After Pino died fighting Messala the 3rd, the
tyrannic king of Corlo, Pr Geppetto decided to build another Gijin
like Pino. But this time, it's a girl whose name is Josette,
accompanied by a new interface robot : Bird. After living peacefully
and happily, Pr Geppetto finally dies.
Meanwhile, queen Tiffany, 5 years after Pino's death, gave birth to
a boy looking exactly like Pino... But a flesh boy this time...
On Corlo island... Josette and her creator, Pr Geppetto, live
peacefully with other gijins. But once, Geppetto announces to
Josette that she must leave for Blueland island... and he passes
out !
He manages to tell Josette she will now be looked after by a
reliable person from another world... You. Then geppetto dies...
Thus Josette leaves for Blueland, a place where she knows
nobody, without having really understood what happened to Geppetto...
[Translation of the letter from Josette to the Professor, from
game introduction]
"Dear Pr. Geppetto...
The island you told me about, Blueland, is a floating steel island.
There are so many people I don't know around here, and my home, now,
is that old ship...
I don't know this "Player" person yet, either. But, even if I'm
anxious and lonely, I still believe in what you told me, professor,
and from tomorrow on, I'll keep in mind to do all my possible to
hang in there.
Your daughter, Josette."
Achievement 1 : Learning how to greet people
--------------------------------------------
Items required : Language book, Encyclopedia.
When Josette first comes on the island, she wonders where she
should go first, and asks you to take her to the #1 dock of
the Megafloat (her ship is in the #2 dock). Do so. You'll meet
a guy there called Fisher who is... yeah, a fisher. He'll greet
Josette but she won't answer from not knowing how to greet people.
Back home, she'll ask you what is greeting, and will try to greet.
Approve her every time. Now, you can go back to Fisher and
Josette'll greet him the way he did (in a very familiar way -
fisher's language !). Now you've got your first 4% and your first
achievement acquired on the Memo : " Learned how to great people ".
Now, you may explore the city as you wish. If you return to dock #1,
you'll meet Pokko the naughty boy. Also go to Karen's restaurant
(place number 3). You'll rush into Sapphire, and then Karen won't
let you in because Josette forgot to greet her. But Karen, who used
to know Pr Geppetto, recognized Josette and knows she's a Gijin.
When you go back to Karen's, she'll be friendly this time, and will
teach Josette a more regular way to greet. When you go home, have
Josette read the Language book, and the Encyclopedia. Make sure she
inputs them (see mini beginner's FAQ). Approve everything she asks
you and make her rest between the 2 books.
More greeting learning : Even if it's not worth %, you should also
teach Josette a nice way of greeting. When you make her sleep, when
she wakes up, she greets you. The first time, she'll say " Ussu "
(Hey there !). Disapprove. The 2nd time, she'll say " Akemashite
omedetou gozaimasu " (Happy new year). Press B. She may also say
" Komban wa " (Good evening)... Approve her only when she says
" Ohayou " (Good morning) and, later in the game, " Gokigen'you "
(Good morning in a very polite way) and makes a reverence. She says
it loud so you can get it even if you don't know Japanese. I don't
know if this does something to the rest of the game, but, it can't
be bad. ^_^
Achievement 2 : Learning how to cook
------------------------------------
Items required : Tray, Fry pan, Cook book, several Seasonings
Now go to Karen's again. She'll tell you that if you want to work
for her, you have to go the Business registration office. Do so.
You'll meet Pearl there. Once back, approve Josette when she says
" Pearl is beautiful ! ".
Go again. Now, you can registrate Josette for 6 jobs (From left to
right : Waitress, Customer caller, Flyers ditributer, Fisher,
Proton miner, Repairing / mending factory employee)
You'll have to suscribe to many of them, but for now, waitress
will be fine (cost 300 c). Going back to Karen's, she'll give
you work. Josette may not know how to be a waitress. If not, go to
the ship, buy a tray and teach her.
Now you can work at Karen's and earn 500 corlo each time. Don't
forget to make Josette rest when she's tired. Work there as much
as you want, then do the next step (but you won't be able to work
as a waitress anymore after you get achievement 2 !).
If you work there often you'll notice that Karen always asks
Josette if she'd like to try to cook, to which Josette answers
" Eh ?? ".
It's now time to teach her how to cook. Buy tons of seasonings,
the cook book, and the fry pan.
First, try to make Josette read the book and input it. She may not
have enough MP, so have her rest before imputing the book. Then
have her eat the seasoning. She'll describe the taste she has in
mouth. Say yes. And read the book, and eat seasoning, again and
again... until she asks you if " taste " is linked to " the
different sensations you have in the mouth ", and stuff like that.
Just keep answering yes.
Now, time to practice. Take Josette to the basement of the ship.
Try to make her cook. She'll ask "Is taste important in cooking ?".
Yes, of course. Just have her try to cook at the kitchen, read the
book, eat seasoning several times. After some time, go to Karen's.
She'll love Josette's cooking. (If she doesn't... then you haven't
practiced enough !).
Go back again and again to Karen's. You'll meet Gourmen, the n°1
Chef, who'll accept to taste your cooking !! He'll find it good,
although " something's missing... ". Now, take Josette back to the
Dolphin's kitchen, and make her cook. After several attempts,
she'll wonder what's missing, and ask you if, maybe, she should
put all heart into her cooking (that's what's missing). Answer
yes ! And go back to Karen's. Now Gourmen will really like it,
saying "that dish tastes like it hasn't been cooked by a human" !!
Gourmen will even ask Josette if she wants to go with him and
become the best cook of the world ! But she will refuse, saying
she has somewhere she must go back to, before...
Back to Karen's, the 3 customers and Karen will thank Josette for
being nice and cheering them up... And also give her 10 000 corlo !
Achievements 3 & 4 : Learning how to clean & to wash oneself
------------------------------------------------------------
Items required : Mop
Go to the studio twice. Go see a lot of movies (about 5 or 6). Go
to the Studio again. Josette will fail her audition from not knowing
what cleaning is. Teach Josette how use a mop. Show her the sink.
Answer Yes. Have her use the mop. Now she has understood Cleaning.
(Achievement 3).
Now show her the shower. She'll try to take a shower but won't like
it : it's cold. Try to have her take a shower but she won't. Have
her look at the washing machine. Have her look at the shower. Have
her look at the washing machine again. She'll start twirling and ask :
" Say, if I twirl will I look clean ? ". Answer no. Then she should ask
you if water is the thing that makes things clean : say yes. Show her
the sink : she'll clean her face. Answer yes. Have her take a shower,
answer yes. She's understood " washing oneself ".
Achievement 5 : Learning mechanical & Piloting the Dolphin
----------------------------------------------------------
Items required : Mecha manual, ships book (and maybe wrench...?)
Have Josette read/Input the mecha manual and read/Input Ships book,
entirely (it may take several times). That's all... Now you can pilot
the Dolphin : Just check the engine panel then sit in the cockpit.
Achievement 6 : Piloting the Seaba
----------------------------------
Items required : Mecha manual, Planes book
In order to learn how to pilot the seaba (the plane), have Josette
read and input the Mecha manual if it's not already done. Go see Fisher.
He'll say " So, you like mechanic ? Then why don't you go see Gante the
machanician ? ". Go register for the last job on the list (Factory
Employee), and go see Gante (place #8). Also, have Josette read/input
the Planes book entirely.
Go see Gante. Gante is quite grumpy. But go see him several times.
Answer yes to Josette's questions. Go again to Gante's. You'll now
have to work for him several times. " You're not bad for a girl... "
Eventually, you'll get a 5000 c pay.
Back again to Gante's, while working, Josette will plug in the wrong plug...
She faints, and Gante rushes to help her.
While unconscious, she sees Pr Geppetto.
" Is this you, Pr ? Why are you here ? "
" You must go back Josette... And trust Gante ! "
After that, Gante has found out about Josette being a Gijin. This was
supposed to be a secret, Pr Geppetto had told Josette never to tell
anyone that she was a Gijin, so Josette is annoyed about that. But
Gante says it won't change anything.
Going to Gante's later, Josette will see he's in trouble with the
soldiers. "I'm just a repairer ! I know nothing about the Seaba !",
he says.
Have her read/Input Planes book, if it's not already done. Now Gante
will show you his secret : the Seaba plane, that you can pilot in a
3D sequence !!
However, it looks like piloting the plane has no other use than
helping get achievement #8.
Achievement 7 : Learned how to get fishermen's qualification
------------------------------------------------------------
Items required : None
Go see Fisher. He'll ask you, maybe, if you feel like becoming a
fisher too.
For this to go on, you'll need achievement #5.
Go registrate for the job " fisher " (4th one). Go see fisher
again. He'll tell you about the fishermen needing to find " a proof "
of their abilities, in order to get accepted by the other fishermen...
The " proof " is a tiny shell hidden under the sea. To find it, go
straight from the beginning and go into the hole you'll encounter.
The yellow shell can then be caught with Z-button.
Go see fisher again. He'll give you the Fisher's licence. Looking at
it, you'll see a clue for the secret code. It's : " Wrong ! Nope !
bad ! Yup ! " in fisherman's language. This means : B, B, B, A. That's
the code letting you access the Fisherman's Submarine Race (see
Submarine race section).
From now on, you can go to the sea and catch some fish to gain money.
Achievement 8 : Getting " initiation "
--------------------------------------
Items required : Stuffed cat
This one's pretty long, because you have to get friends with Sapphire
first.
You'll need to get Achievement 6 to get this one.
Go to the garbage dump. You'll meet Katze the cat. Go see the Goddess'
statue... Go to the plazza (#11) twice.
You'll meet Sapphire. Go to to the garbage dump again. Then go see
Fisher. He'll tell you about that cat stealing his fish. Go back to
the garbage dump
Now, go to the dolphin and buy the stuffed cat. Teach Josette to kick
the cat (!), then go back to the garbage dump twice. Now, Josette
will shout at the cat. Go see Fisher : he'll give you money to thank
you. But going to see sapphire again, she'll scold you, saying she
hates " people who harm the weaker ".
Josette will then ask you if she has done something wrong : answer
yes... Now teach Josette to hug the stuffed cat, and go see Katze
again. You'll discover why it's been stealing fish. Go back to
Sapphire, who'll be your friend now on.
See Katze again to see a funny scene !
Next time you see Sapphire she'll say she wants to have a bird's
wings, to fly/be free, like the birds, because she has never left
Blueland since she was born...
Josette'll tell you : " Sapphire wants to have a bird's wings...
Do you think I should give her Bird's wings ? Oh ! He's listening !
...Bird ? No, it's nothing... "
If you don't have achievement #6, go get it.
Going to see Sapphire again, Josette will take her to the Seaba
and let her fulfill her dream, flying...
Later on, go several times to the spooky street. Josette will find
a man lying on the ground and will come to his rescue.
Another time, Josette will get attacked by spooky men, but Sapphire
will come to her rescue. Going back again there, she will this time
manage to defend herself.
Later, she'll get the Initiation (an object) from Fater Harben - the
man that was lying...
Achievement 10 : Getting recognized as an accomplished barehand fighter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items required : Dumbbells
I think you have to have #8 for this one.
I'm not quite sure about how to get this one. If I remember well,
you have to go to the army's fighting place (#18) several times and
to the Artmy's districts. At one point, Josette will challenge Battler
(a soldier). To beat him, you got to train Josette a lot with the
dumbbells, and by seeing the movie Battle of Siliconian.
Eventually, after you beat Battler you'll run into Harben and later on,
have to fight him too.
Next time you go see him, you'll fight. If Josette has trained enough,
she'll win - but it takes quite some time to train her. I guess this
is there you get achievement #10.
Achievement 11 : Getting Miss Goddess Contest Second Prize
----------------------------------------------------------
Achievement 24 : Understanding Love
-----------------------------------
Items required : none
Those are accomplished one after another, or so I think.
Going to the park and other places (including the statue of the Goddess)
several times, you'll meet Arnold, a young handsome man, about who all
the girls of Blueland are crazy. Josette will get friends with him.
At a point you'll be told about a beauty contest, the Miss Goddess
contest. Josette will participate in the contest thanks to Arnold's
encouragements, and win the 2nd place, after Pearl.
After that Josette will start asking questions about her feelings
for Arnold. Approve her. At one point she'll understand that this
is love, but I can't remember exactly how. I'll complete this later.
Achievement 12 : Becoming an actress
-------------------------------------
Items required : None
You need achievement 2 to get this one. Go back to the Studio, and
you'll get to participate in the audition again.
Josette'll have to sweep. Then she has to play a love scene. If she
can't do it, take her see " Meoro & Lijuet " at the movies several
times. Then, she should be able to play it, but the Director still
feels something's wrong. He guesses that Josette has never felt love
before.
You'll only be able to get that achievement after you get achievement
#24.
Then Josette will play it correctly, and she'll get the role. The
movie will be done, but the movie director and Alan will sadly be
expelled from Blueland by the soldiers... Too bad.
Achievement 15 : Learning how to sing well
------------------------------------------
Items required : None
Pretty easy one. Just go to the forest a lot of times.
Josette likes this forest because it reminds her of Corlo. When she
goes there, she feels like singing, and does so. Once, after singing,
she'll hear a strange voice calling for help. Scared, she'll run away.
Later, she'll meet Clara, a nice little girl, who is soon revealed to
be blind. She loves Josette's songs, and tells her about the forest's
voice - the voice Josette once heard.
After this, you have achievement 15.
As Clara asked you to, you should go see her at the hospital.
Achievement 16 : Learning how to dance well
-------------------------------------------
Items required : Dumbbells, music box
Remember the guy on the plazza in Blueland, breaking his chains ?
Josette wanted to be as strong as him...After you do the Flyers'
distribution job (see Josette's jobs section), buy her the dumbbells
and teach her how to use it, if not already done.
Have her train with it a few times, then go to the plazza. You'll see
a funny scene where Josette will be challenging the man, breaking
her chains ! But the people around will think there was a trick in
the show, and Josette will have ruined Zampagne's show. He will
then go on a depression and will be replaced by Jichael.
Now take Josette to the movies and have her see " Sound of dance "
(starring Jichael). Take her back to the ship and buy her a music box
(aka orgel). Teach her how to use it : she'll ask you if the music
from the box can let her dance like in the movie. Answer yes. She'll
start dancing ! Now, go back see the dancer on the plaza several
times. Eventually, he and the chain-breaker man will thank Josette
for helping them... And Jichael will even ask Josette if she wants
to go and make a duo with him ! She'll refuse, because she has many
things to do in Blueland...
Achievement 17 : A role-playing adventure
-----------------------------------------
Item required : Yokunai book
That's a game in the game... Have Josette read the book (it's a
role-playing book). She'll start miming the story. You'll have to
tell her what to do.
Okay ! I listed here what you have to do to win. If you don't do
it like that, you'll probably be " game over " (virtually... Not
really !) and will have to do it all over again... But this can
be a way to make easy money, too.
Here's what Josette says :
" Player-san is in a deep forest, walking... He follows a spooky
path. In front of him there's a huge house. Enter the house ? NO
Player-san goes around the house.... Behind the house there's a
small doghouse. Look into it ? YES
There's a key ! Take it ? YES
Open the door with the key ? YES
It works ! The inside of the house is spooky...
Go on ? NO
Player-san goes back. There's a strange old man outside. He says :
" Feel... Feel it ! It's up to you to feel you're a hero ! You can
beat the " last boss " this way ! I'll tell you how to become strong.
You have to use Oyakusoku's sword (the promised sword) ! "
Go on ? YES
Inside the house there's a cage. Inside the cage there's a beautiful
woman. She talks to Player. " You, please... I am princess Orange
from Iimon (good ones) kingdom. As you can see, I was captured by
the " last boss " of Warumon (bad ones) kingdom. Please save me ! "
- No way !! (says Josette)... would be a stupid thing to say cause
the story wouldn't go further then.
- All right !
Player goes in search of the last boss. In front of him there are
two doors.
Take the left door ? NO
Take the right door ? YES
Really ? YES
Really really ? YES
I had told you so ! THERE'S A MONSTER ! It's Oyakusoku !!
Fight it ? YES
Player killed the monster !
Found 1000 corlo ! (NB : You ACTUALLY get this money !!)
Found Oyakusoku's sword
Player runs away... Oh !
There's a middle-boss !!! How come there's a middle boss here all of a
sudden ?
Fight it ? YES
Player killed the middle boss !
Found 3000 corlo !
Player runs away... oh ! It's huge ! WEEEEEEEN, SOB, SOB... No ! It's
not time to cry !
THE LAST BOSS SHOWS UP !
" Who are you ?? Do you want to beat the last boss, too ? "
Fight it ? YES
Player killed the last boss. Thus, the inhabitants of the country lived
happily ever after... But how come the forest became all of sudden a
country ? "
That's all ! Now you've got 4% and achievement 17 !
I think this is funny (especially when Josette mimes the monsters...)
Achievement 18 : Learning how to tell the fortune.
---------------------------------------------------
Items required : Crystal Ball
This one's pretty easy. Just earn enough money to buy the
crystal Ball. Then teach Josette how to use it and to tell fortune.
That's it ! You got 4 more %.
Achievement 19 : Saw the " dream "
----------------------------------
Achievement 20 : Found the " past "
-----------------------------------
Items required : Magiteka legend ?
Those two are actually the fact of finiding these two Magiteka
treasures :
In search of the four Magiteka Treasures :
If you buy the treasure map from the computer shop and have
Josette read it, you'll hear about the four Magiteka treasures.
The 4 treasures are buried into the sea. They're known as " the
heart of dreaming ", " the heart of the past ", " the heart of
the future ", and " the heart of happiness ". The four of them
form the " treasure of the heart ". If you want to know more
about that, you should buy and read the book of the Magiteka
legend : it explains that the " treasure of the heart " enabled
the robots from Magiteka to be better than humans.
Anyway, the map gives you four clues to find the treasures :
" The dream is... at the north of the 10-signs mark... "
" The past is... beyond the red pillar "
" Happiness is... at the middle of the four signs... "
" The future seems to be... [I don't understand this one, sorry] "
The treasures are in the sea. Go find them with the Dolphin.
So far I only found the Dream and the Past.
I found the Dream going backwards from where you start.
The Past is tricky, it's hidden in a small cave inside a hole you
find going straight from where you start. In the cave is a red
pillar, the treasure is behind it.
Note that after you found the treasures, Josette will say new
sentences. If you found the dream, after you make her sleep,
she'll say she had a dream, etc.
Achievement 22 : Understanding life and death
---------------------------------------------
Items required : Medical book
From the very beginning of the game, Josette has been asking
you : " Shinutte... Nani ? " (Dying... What is it ?), starting
with the death of Pr Geppetto that she couldn't understand...
Now, the time has come for you to teach her what is death.
Buy the Medical book. Have Josette read it. She may refuse ; if
so, have her read the encyclopedia. She should accept to read
it. Once she has finished, she should cry a lot. Try to console
her with flan.
Achievement 24 : Understanding Love
-----------------------------------
See 11.
***************************************************
* *
* The End of the Days of Blueland - *
* Curing little Clara and what follows... *
* *
***************************************************
Items required : Medical book, Proton stone, Encyclopedia.
When you've come to a certain part of the game, if you go see
Clara at the hospital, you'll learn that she's caught an
unknown illness. A pure japanese-XIXth century style-dressed
guy will show up. It's Kurohige (Blackbeard) the doctor...
But he won't be able to cure Clara from not knowing the
source of her illness, a stimulation due to something... but
what ?
Have Josette read the Medical book, then eat the proton stone...
She'll say that it's a stimulation, but a strange one. Now have
her read the Encyclopedia about Proton. She'll ask you :
" Clara went to play to the forest, right ? And beyond it
there's a proton power plant... " YES
"I think Clara's illness has something to do with the Proton ?"
YES
" I got it ! So the source of her illness is the Proton ! Then
the forest was calling for help, too ! So maybe Clara will be...
Thank you ! Player-san ! " (she kisses you).
Now you go back to the hospital and watch. Kurohige will take
Clara to his country to cure her. When she is cured she'll come
back. If you go to the forest now, you'll see Clara in the sky...
Back to the ship, you'll meet Pokko.
Josette will ask : " Say, how do you know about Pr ? "
Pokko will say he can't tell her. Then Josette will show him the
inside of the ship. Pokko will ask her if she would join with him
the revolution group. If so, she'd have to go to the entrance of
the pipeway...
OKAY ! Now careful ! If you go on, you're going to trigger the
events that will close Chapter 1. So don't go unless you're really
sure you want to put an end to chapter 1.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!! SPOILER ALERT !!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't read this unless you have reached this part of the game or
I'll kill you !!
Go to the pipeway. See Pokko. Now go to the Goddess Sedona Blue
entrance... There'll be no soldier, you can come in. The inside
is a maze with ladders and stairs. I suggest you try to go always
up, or right. You may encounter monsters : kill them with the
pickaxe. Eventually, when you can't go any upper, go to the left
and find a big door with bats in front of it. Kill them and go.
You've reached the Revolution group's headquarters. (familiar
faces there...)
You'll meet their chief : Galon. But he won't let Josette join,
saying this isn't a game...
Now go to the dock where you used to see Sapphire. Josette will
tell her she met her dad. But Sapphire will still end up saying:
" I'm not her daughter anymore. I hate him. "
Go back to your ship. Pokko and Karen will be there waiting for
you. They'll tell Josette they know she's a gijin, but that's
OK with them. Also, Pokko has a secret to tell you : his real
name is Pino Corlo, prince of Corlo... Remember Queen Tiffany,
from WPJ1 ? That's her mom (though the booklet had spoilt that
part...). Now, I can't remember exactly, but I think Pokko
then explains his parents are dead. And he knew he would have
to meet, someday, a Gijin girl with a blue Ocarina. Karen ends
the conversation saying that this must stay between the 3 of
them...
And yet it won't !!!
Pearl was listening to them. Remember, she's been mad at Josette
ever since she got the part in the movie AND got Arnold who Pearl
had a crush on.
Go to the park and you'll find Pearl telling her comrades about
Josette being a Gijin (" Look at that GIJIN !! She even has fake
tears ! How strange ! "). Actually she told it to the whole
island ! From now on, Josette will be chased from everywhere.
If you go see your friends (Fisher, the doctor, Karen...) they'll
all tell you that the army's looking for you and that you must
RUN AWAY ! Quickly !
If you go back to the park, Pearl will say, laughing : " Soldiers !
The gijin is here ! "
If you go see Paul, you'll see him getting shot not denouncing you,
and screaming " Josette, I loved you ! ".
If you go anywhere else, you'll see tons of soldiers running after
you.
Peaceful days are over now.
Go back to the ship. You'll see Arnold, telling you that he
doesn't mind Josette being a Gijin, and that he's been looking
for the " J ".
Go see many people and to the ship again. Pokko's there. He'll
tell you something terrible's happening : the mine is collapsing.
But the Siliconians don't want to try to save anyone. When they're
about to shoot the miners who are rebelling themselves and want to
go save their comrades, the Revolution group show up with
Nausicaa-like dressed soldiers. They start fighting the soldiers.
Now it's time for Josette and Pokko to run away. They decide to
follow the revolution ship, which has gone to fight the Siliconian
ship with the dolphin...
Chapter 1 : The days of Blueland - End
--------------------------------------
Note from programmers : We hope you enjoyed playing chapter 1...
Now it's time for chapter 2.
[At this point you can SAVE your game]
************************************************
* *
* Chapter 2 : At the end of the blue stream *
* (Aoki nagare no hate ni...) *
* *
************************************************
Translator note : The characters' quotes in this section aren't
always exact because I couldn't pause the game at this part, so
I just wrote down what I remembered.
Farewell, Blueland...
---------------------
Pokko & Josette are on the Dolphin. They get rescued by the
revolution group. But enemy ships attack. The two ships fight,
and the revolution group come aboard the enemy ship. Galon and
Messala face each other, and Galon is about to shoot Messala
when Pokko shows up saying he want to fight too. Messala takes
advantage of that and shoots Galon. Then Messala says :
" Heehee, thank you, kid... you've helped me... But... BUT...
PINO ? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ? YOU ARE DEAD ! " Josette shows
up and kicks Messala. Pokko & Josette run away...
The Siliconian ship explodes. But then a big flying robot shows
up, with Messala inside it !
Josette : " Who...? I feel... I feel a Corlo gijin's heart ! "
The Gijin in number 46. Yes, the number 46 that used to give Pino
advice in WPJ1... He gets his memory back slowly, and explains
that all the Gijins from Corlo have been turned into killing
machines. Then Messala gives number 46 the order to destroy
Blueland, which he refuses to do, saying he doesn't want to hurt
anyone anymore... Josette, knowing what is going to happen, tells
the inhabitants to get the Megafloat away from Blueland. Gijin
number 46 then self-destructs and destroys the island.
Josette and Pokko, still on the ship, are blown off the by the
explosion.
[SAVE]
The lost memories
-----------------
Pokko and Josette awake on a desert island (looks like Miyazaki's
Laputa a lot !! ^_^). Josette says : " WHERE IS HERE ? WHY AM I
HERE ? "
Pokko : " Oh ! You're alive ! I'm so relieved ! "
Josette : " WHO ARE YOU ? WHO AM I ? WHAT AM I DOING HERE ? "
Pokko : " Oh no ! Josette's become weird ! "
Josette : " SOMEBODY'S CALLING ME... "
Pokko : " Eh ! Where are you going ? "
Josette then enters a wall...
A strange voice : " Player ! Josette has lost her memories in the
shock ! Please help her. "
Pokko : " Josette ! Waiiit ! "
Now a you controll a transparent Josette in a 3D maze. The music
and the place are spooky, and you can hear Josette's laughs from
time to time.
You must find 20 pieces of Josette's memories by answering
questions. If you don't answer well, you'll have to do it all
over again. To find her memories and to get the questions, you
have to look for Josettes in the maze. Each time you see a Josette
she'll ask you something.
But the questions aren't easy ! The answer depend on what you have
done or not (that's where I put a ?) in the game. Be careful ! I
also put the number (A??) of the achievement it refers to.
If you fail, you'll have to do it all over again...
Here are the 20 questions :
First floor
-----------
1. Josette is a girl that doesn't greet... NO
2. Josette won the first price at the Miss Goddess contest ! NO
3. Josette knows how to cook ! YES
4. Josette likes player-san very much ! YES
5. Josette met (?) the Fisher king ! ?
6. Josette met (?) the mysterious king of fighting (A8) and Siliconian ! ?
7. Josette participated in the Submarine race ! And she won ! ?
8. Josette has finished the role playing adventure (A17) ! ?
9. Josette knows how to tell the fortune (A18) ! ?
10. Josette found the Magiteka treasure " Dream " (A19) ! ?
Second floor
------------
11. Josette found the Magiteka treasure " Past " (A20) ! ?
12. Josette found the Magiteka treasure " Future " ! ?
13. Josette found the Magiteka treasure " Happiness " ! ?
14. Josette found a treasure in the Proton mine ! ?
15. Josette attracted a lot of people to the movies, on her job ! NO
16. Josette understood love (A24) ! YES
17. Josette knows how to take a shower ! (A4) ?
18. Josette loves Arnold ! YES
19. Josette likes Pokko ! YES
20. Josette's body is a machine's, but her heart is a human's ! YES
The last question is tricky since you don't know if they mean :
physically, or morally. But the right answer IS yes.
The power of the J
------------------
When you awake, you're in a palace. You meet Old Fam (from WPJ 1)
who's not only a Magitekan but also the keeper of this island where
the secrets of Magiteka are kept.
Then you meet " the eye of the J ", who tells you about the power of
the J and how it was used by humans. Actually, you get the
introduction's images explained by Fam. He explains how the Humans
and the Dragon-men (people with great knowledge and civilization)
once lived peacefully... But the humans rebelled themselves, and
started fighting the dragon-men. The remaining few dragon-men had
to hide the J to prevent the cruel humans to put their hands on it.
Fam, the last dragon-man, decided to give it to trustable man, Pr
Geppetto, so that he could use it for the good of humanity.
Thus, Pino was born. But he fell against Messala. Gepetto, wiping
his tears, decided to make another robot with the " J ".
15 years later, Josette was born...
Josette and Pokko are astonished by what they hear, even though they
don't really understand everything.
But once outside, Arnold comes to Josette and they get captured by
the Siliconians. Josette, inside the Siliconian HQ, threatens that
she will " use the power of the J " if they don't let them free.
Josette and Arnold start escaping, but soon get chased by soldiers.
Now, it's the beginning of a boring 3D sequence where you have to
escape the building, being chased by soldiers. You run faster than
them, but if you get caught, you have to start all over again. There
are 6 floors, in the last ones you have to trick the soldiers by
attracting them somewhere. Sometimes soldiers will come from both
sides, too. Be careful !
On the top of the building, Josette, surrounded by soldiers, finds
no other solution to escape than to jump off the building.
She then diverts slowly, to the Megafloat... (how come she floats
if she's a robot ? ^_^)
[SAVE]
Now, prepare for a 45 minute very moving ending !
Okay ! From now on, I think I'm going to stop telling you about the
story because I don't want to spoil it too much.
If I ha ve requests, I may add a special spoiler section with
translations of the ending. On the one hand, the action isn't hard
to understand, but on the other hand the very last part of the
ending is just sooo great that I'd really like to translate it...
Well, I'll see this later.
Just one thing to let you understand :
Josette's question to Siliconian the 13th :
" Tell me... Do you really care about peace in the world ? "
Siliconian : " Well... That's a good question... You know humans
can't get peace by themselves. Even if a lot of them truly want
peace, they just can't help fighting each others. That is why we
want to let the peace rule. But it won't come itself, so we have
to impose it ourselves, by force if needed, using our own rules. "
THE END.
Miscellaneous Information
-------------------------
Josette's jobs
--------------
As you have noticed, there are 6 jobs Josette can do. Here's some
more explanations about them :
If you want to work, you have to go the Business registration
office to registrate Josette for 6 jobs. They are, from left to
right :
- Waitress (registration cost : 300) : this can be only done while
accomplishing achievement 2. You gain 500c per waitressing.
- Customer caller (registration cost : 0) : Do this job by talking
to the ticket lady of the movies. You'll get 200c each time.
- Flyers distribution (registration cost : 0) : To do this one, go
to the plazza and talk to Zampagne. You can only do this before
achievement #16. You get 200 each time.
- Fisher (registration cost : 500): This can be done after you get
Achievement 7. The money you earn depends on the number of fish
you catch.
- Proton miner (registration cost : 300) : To do this one, you must
teach Josette how to use a pickaxe, then go to the mine. The money
you earn depends on the number of times you pickaxe (about
100c/hit). You just have to go into the mine, find a place with a
pickaxe and hit the stones as many times as you want. The mine is
a dangerous place, however. There are dragons-bats in it : you can
kill the small ones with the pickaxe, but the big ones can only be
overpassed by running under them. Also, beware of the holes. Eating
proton stones will restore some of Josette's energy.
- Repairing/mending factory employee (registration cost : 300) : This
the job you do at Gante's while achievement #6. Just like waitressing,
you can only do this job a few times. You get 500 each time.
Movies list :
------------
- Battle of Siliconian
- Sound of dance
- The 11 commandments
- Meoro and Lijuet (!)
- The determinate worker (this must be a famous movie, too, but I don't
know which one...)
Game Over ?
-----------
You get Game over under one of the following circumstances :
- Josette has no more HP or MP (her gauges turn from blue to yellow,
then from yellow to red. If the gauge is red, Josette is almost dead !
Do something quickly !)
- The Dolphin is hit by too many fish, or crashes.
- The Seaba is shot down or crashes in an explosion.
- Josette falls in a hole in the mine.
- Josette is killed by the dragon-bats in the mine.
Etc...
Being game over isn't terrible, it'll just cost you 3 days and 3000c.
Of course, you can reset the game, too.
Josette's dresses
-----------------
As you have noticed, Josette starts he game with 3 dresses. Check the
dresses' description in the Item list. You can have her change and make
comments about the dresses' colors, but I don't think changing her will
do anything special to the game - it's just for your pleasure.
The submarine race
------------------
By opening the door under water with the code B, B, B, A, you can
participate in the Fishermen's submarine race. This is a race that
Josette wants to win on her own, and you can't do anything to help
her. So far, I tried the race 3 or 4 times and Josette always got
the last place. There must be some way to train her so that she wins
the race, but I don't know how. If anyone knows...
Josette's questions
-------------------
From times to times, Josette asks you questions... There's one that I
particularly enjoy :
" Say, Player, are you clever ? " (YES)
" Really ? "
There Josette starts asking you questions. I listed the questions &
answers :
" The aproval of the opposite of the opposite of the aproval of the
opposite of the aproval... Is the opposite, right ? " YES. " Yeees ! "
" The earth was born 3 500 000 years ago, right ? " NO " You're right !
It's 4 600 000 years ago ! "
" 100 kg of steel, 100 kg of feathers... The heavier must be the steel,
right ? " NO " You're right ! They're the same ! "
" The child of my parents... It can only be me, right ? " NO " You're
right ! It can be my brother ! "
" ...... Wow.... You're really great, Player-san ! "
This does nothing to the rest of the story, but it's nice to get
Josette's admiration...
Favorite Quotes
---------------
" Those babies... Where d'they come from ? "
(After eating a stuffed cat) " Meeeeeeooooww "
" Player-san, although I don't know your face, I like you ! "
" Player-san is from another world. Why didn't Professor choose
someone from our world ?... Oops, sorry, Player-san, are you
angry ? "
(After asking you if you're a girl, if you like sport) " Player-
san is a sportswoman ! "
(After seeing Sound of dance) : ...Hey ! I feel like singing and
dancing ! Player, are you good at singing and dancing ? [YES]
Really ? Then, dance and sing for me please ! [She watches you]
... ... I couldn’t hear or see, but it must’ve been amazing !
