SPECIAL THANKS ====================================================================== 1. REVISION HISTORY ====================================================================== VERSION 1.3 (August 5, 2000) - Add character list - Correct some mistakes VERSION 1.2 (August 4, 2000) - Add more Chapters (from Sadira and Cecilia Empire branches) - Add more Chapters (from Kingdom branch with bad ending) VERSION 1.1 (August 1, 2000) - Add more Chapters (from Ruin branch), Attack list, ATAC, choices - Correct some mistakes VERSION 1.0 (July 30, 2000) ====================================================================== 2. INTRODUCTION ====================================================================== This game is about war in a world where mythology and technology are one. A young man must find his destiny to lead the rebellion against the Junaris Kingdom and to save the people of his world from an eternity of oppression. He and his friends are unwillingly drawn into a holy war being waged by a bloodthirsty general and his army of darkness. This is my first faq. If you have comment, correction, suggestion send me e-mail at . I have got all the missions (56 missions) and all the ATACs (32 ATACs). I have got all the endings : good Kingdom ending, Ruin ending, Sadira and Cecilia Empire endings, bad Kingdom ending. You can see this FAQ too at http://www.gameadvice.com or http://www.gamesdomain.co.uk but I don't guarantee it's the newer version. Check the newer version at GAMEFAQS. ====================================================================== 3. GENERAL HINT ====================================================================== 1. Try to kill enemies as much as possible. Because you can get EXP and MONEY from killing enemies. You will need a lot of money to buy weapons, stones, and amulets. 2. I suggest you increase BAS, POW, and DEX when level up. To get a new stronger attack, you must have high BAS, POW, and DEX. 3. Always attack enemies from behind if you can. Because the attack will do more damage, and enemy can not counter, attack, defend your attack. 4. Make your character and your allies attack one enemy at a time. 5. Try to make FP enemy reach 100. If this happens, make all your characters attack him because the enemy will be dizzy and can not do anything. Your attack will hit with a 100% success rate. 6. Be careful when your FP almost reach 100. Try to run away from enemies and don't do anything that will make your FP reach 100. 7. Always buy weapons first then amulets or stones. 8. Try to make your friends morale high. If you interview them, you can see the morale between you and your friends. The rate of morale from the highest to the lowest are red -> pink -> orange -> yellow -> green -> light blue -> dark blue. Try to make your friends staying alive in battle, because if not the rate of morale of your friends that die will be decrease. If before the colour is red, it will turn to pink. If before the colour is pink, it will turn to orange. And so on. ====================================================================== 4.
