___/ A.   Revision History \____________________________________________



1.   FAQ VERSIONS AND EDITS - newest to oldest

date completed    version



July 20, 2000  -  1.0

     Added a sea chart and repaired any errata or missing information.

All the necessary information for the FAQ is now complete.  Yay!



July 07, 2000  -  0.9a

     Just a simple update adding notice for all the sites allowed to

post this FAQ.  There's no new information in the FAQ itself.



June 23, 2000  -  0.9

     Second release.  Added the Forbidden Tome and every section is

complete except for the Quests/Cactus Diaries and the Monsters

Encyclopedia.  Just missing two quests and two monsters.  D'oh!



June 18, 2000  -  0.8

     First official release.  The majority of the information is

available, but it's not quite complete.  It will be soon, though, when I

get around to finishing the game.  =^,^=



June 13, 2000  -  0.1

     Officially began working on the FAQ.  This is going to be fun.



2.   FUTURE PLANS

     Given the time and the drive to do so, I wish to expound upon the

information already available.  For example, I'd like to add item drops

to the monster encyclopedia, as well as which monsters appear in what

lands, and effectiveness descriptions to each of the abilities and

special techniques.  Time will tell if and when that happens, though.

___/ B.   About this FAQ   \____________________________________________



1.   THE GYST OF IT

     If you're looking for a walkthrough that'll give you a free ride

through an interesting and occasionally challenging game, well then

you've come to the wrong place.  This FAQ is merely a compilation of

information about Legend of Mana (a hefty chunk read directly from the

TV screen and typed up onto the computer) intended for quick reference.

There's a LOT of information and it took a LOT of time to put it all

together, being as I've taken it upon myself to do this all by myself.

Granted this isn't my first FAQ (I did a Killer Instinct FAQ back in

'95-'96 and a Castlevania: Symphony of the Night FAQ in '98, neither of

which are at GameFAQs, VGStrategies, or ClassicGaming), but it IS the

most I've ever worked on a single one.  Let's just say my fingers are

REALLY tired after all this typing.  Whew.  Anyway, I think I've

yammered on long enough.  I hope you find this FAQ useful.  I wish you

well in your endeavors.  =^,^=

___/ C.   Flow of Time     \____________________________________________



Legend of Mana has days of the week, not unlike the real world.

However, it differs in that there are only six days instead of seven.

Using my best judgment, I think the days of the week flow in order shown

below.  Why do I believe this is correct?  Well if you look on the Land

screen you'll notice that Undine and Dryad are at opposite ends of the

mana scale.  Granted the days of the week don't follow the order of the

mana scale, not to mention that Shade and Wisp are not days of the week

at all, it still seems to make some amount of sense.  You're welcome to

argue it if you like - only the creators of the game could really

solidify what day begins and what day ends the week.



Week progression = Undine, Salamander, Aura, Gnome, Jinn, Dryad



    _______________________

___/ D.   Heads-Up Display \____________________________________________



During battle sequences a display will appear at the top of the screen

to represent the status of each character currently in your party.  It's

fairly simple to understand, but I figured I'd go over it anyway just

for the heck of it.  Following is a basic ASCII representation.

      _____                       _____

     |     |  <>   80%           |     |SYNC   HP%

     |     |/========--/         |PHOTO|/ HP METER /

     |_____/===---/              |_____ST METER



PHOTO    = A tiny portrait to represent the character

SYNC     = When electricity flows, characters are synchronized

HP%      = Shows what percentage of maximum HP the character has left

HP METER = Displays remaining HP in a colorful meter

ST METER = Displays the energy charge for Special Techniques and magic



Of special note is the HP Meter, which uses colors to represent how much

HP there is.  Following is a color scale.



     Red      =   1 - 100          Blue     = 501 - 600

     Yellow   = 101 - 200          Green    = 601 - 700

     Green    = 201 - 300          Blue     = 701 - 800

     Blue     = 301 - 400          Green    = 801 - 900

     Green    = 401 - 500          Blue     = 901 - 999



Enemies can have more than 999 HP, but the meters follow the same color

pattern.  As an estimate, the bosses have the same HP measurements

multiplied by 5.  So if a boss has half a green meter over yellow, it's

likely to have approximately 1250 HP left.



    _______________________

___/ E.   Controller Notes \____________________________________________



1.   QUICK ATTACKS - default to the EKS button

     Quick Attacks are basic, fast attacks that only do minor damage.

However, depending upon which weapon type your character is equipped

with, you can perform a few Quick Attacks (between 3 and 5 attacks - see

section K. EQUIPMENT for more details) in succession for a basic combo.

Be careful though, because should you tap the Quick Attack button more

times than the weapon can combo you'll fatigue your character and be

frozen for about two seconds.  You can also perform one Power Attack

anywhere within the combo chain if you choose, as well as either adding

Plunge Attacks after the Power Attack or any time in the combo chain.



2.   POWER ATTACKS - default to the SQUARE button

     Much more powerful than Quick Attacks, but one Power Attack will

cause fatigue, freezing your character for about two seconds.  There is

a way to avoid fatigue, though.  If you perform a Plunge Attack

immediately following a Power Attack, there's a good chance your

character will not be fatigued.  One exception to this is the Bow Plunge

Attack SHOT.  Your character will still fatigue even if you use this

move (unless you do another Plunge Attack afterwards).  Experiment to

see what works.



3.   PLUNGE ATTACKS - default to the SQUARE button

     Each weapon in Legend of Mana has three special attacks referred to

as Plunge Attacks.  These are fairly powerful attacks that will knock

away an opponent that is struck.  Anybody who's played a fighting game

within the last decade will instantly be familiar with how to

effectively use these moves.  But for those who haven't, I'll be as

specific and helpful as possible.  All of the weapons use the same

controller functions for their Plunge Attacks, though not every weapon

has the same Plunge Attacks.  This is especially noted with the Bows vs.

most melee weapons.  Following is a summary of how to do each of the

Plunge Attacks.  Please note that the following descriptions assume your

character is facing to the right.  Simply reverse the directions

horizontally if your character is facing to the left.



a.   Tap the direction you wish to

attack twice, holding the second press,                   ->  ->>  Power

and press the Power Attack button.



b.   Press Down and then circle the controller             .  ->>

to the direction you wish to attack, holding             |  \      Power

it, then press the Power Attack button.                  v



c.   Rock the controller from the opposite

direction to the direction you wish to attack,            <-  ->>  Power

holding it, and press the Power Attack button.



4.   COMBINATION ATTACKS

     For the most part, combos consist of mere chained button presses.

However, it is possible to add Abilities and Plunge Attacks into the

combo at almost any point, the majority of which will avoid fatiguing

your character.  Following is an example of a combo that can be

performed with any weapon.  Let's assume the character has a Sword

equipped.  This would perform three Quick Attacks, one Power Attack, and

one Plunge Attack, ending the combo with no fatigue.  This combo would

be described: slice, stab, slice, power-slice, lunging-thrust.



eg.  Quick  Quick  Quick  Power  ->  ->>  Power



Remember that the majority of melee weapons will basically be the same,

though they'll vary in how many Quick Attacks they can perform.  Be sure

to experiment with each weapon and see what works for you.



Also, if you can perform an extended combo (add an ability to the combo

and keep it running with more Quick Attacks), you might be rewarded with

a free candy to revive HP.  Though random, it generally takes anywhere

from three to twelve hits to be rewarded.



    _______________________

___/ F.   Quests/Cactus D. \____________________________________________



1.   NIC'S BUSINESS - Rid the highway of bandits!

     My master beat banditos with a creature called Niccolo.  Niccolo

was scared of the banditos, but I'm scared to know what Niccolo is.

What could he possibly be?



2.   TINY SORCERERS - Stop the rampant pumpkins!

     Today I heard a story about two little sorcerers trying to become

the kings of this world.  But pumpkins?  They used pumpkins?  I hope

they're still yummy.



3.   GAEUS'S WISDOM - Go with Daena to meet Gaeus!

     A big face on a mountain?  It's hard to believe, but my master saw

it, so I guess it's true.  It knows and doesn't know lots of things.

What an amazing world.



4.   WHERE'S PUTTY? - Rescue Putty from the Penguins!

     Today I heard about a scary macho man trying to find his doggie.  I

like doggies' pointy noses and their wagging tails.  Doggies are so much

cuter than macho men.



5.   THE LOST PRINCESS - To the cave in search of Pearl!

     Fighting a monkey in the caverns and saving a girl!  Wow, that

sounds like something out of a movie.  But the girl was really shy and

turned red, and I guess that was too much for my master.



6.   DIDDLE'S LETTER - To where did Pelican take Diddle?

     A pelican kidnapped a little boy?!  And it threw the boy away

somewhere?  That's just not right.  What are the people at the child

protection agency doing?



7.   TWO TORCHES - The case of Matilda in Gato...

     A cat-eared woman and a long-haired man had a fight, and a grandma

was kidnapped.  And then the two found the grandma.  I think this kind

of story is getting old.



8.   HUNTIN' DU'CATE - Hunt for Du'Cate in the jungle!

     Today my master saw a really big tree-hanging monkey and a really

BIG red animal with really BIG attitude.  Why can't they be like me?



9.   MURMURING FOREST - Foil the Faeries' scheme!

     Today's adventure was in the Jungle where lots of Faeries live.

The long-haired man was there again.  Is it just me, or is there trouble

brewing?  I think I'm psychic.



10.  GORGON'S EYE - War between Faeries and Penguins.

     Lots of penguins fell into the lake and their cap'n was thrown in

there by a turtle after being changed into stone!  Penguins can swim,

but stone can't!  Was the cap'n okay?  What a scary, scary story.



11.  SEEKING FAERIES - Find Daena and tell Matilda!

     Today's story was about a woman who disappeared when she went to

the lake to look for a demon.  I say she should've been catching fish

instead of any demons.



12.  TEATIME - Rescue Teapo from the ruins!

     It sounds like today's adventure was about opening and closing the

Flowerlings' gates.  And today's monster kept sucking out my master's

blood.  Stop bothering my master!



13.  STAR-CROSSED - To the ruins to meet Irwin!

     Escad and Daena are always fighting.  Why do people keep fighting

each other?  I wish for world peace.



14.  MINING BUSINESS - Take Watts back to his shop.

     The birdman says Watts doesn't have any heroic stories to tell.  I

wish someone will come up with a story about ME.  He moves like

lightning!  He kicks monster butt!  I think I like that.



15.  DREAM TELLER - Ask Pokiehl about Escad's past.

     My master went to a place that might have been a dream.  What does

that mean?  Maybe I can sneak in there when nobody is watching.



16.  DIDDLE KIDNAPPED - Rescue Diddle from the forest!

     A little boy named Diddle was kidnapped.  Diddle had a friend named

Capella who found him.  Wish I could be somebody's help.  No, seriously.



17.  HEAVEN'S GATE - To Lucemia to vanquish Irwin!

     A big big big big snake snake snake!  My master walked inside a

snake and went up to its head to fight a demon.  Do you think I believe

that kind of story?



18.  DADDY'S BROOM - Find Lisa's special broom!

     I threw away an old broom, and that made Bud and Lisa mad.  They

went and got it back, and fixed where it was broken.  I guess everything

is just hunky-dory now.



19.  INFERNAL DOLL - The dolls' hatred towards man.

     The junk at the Junkyard really wasn't junk!  They were the

leftovers of the artifacts used in wars long long ago.  Wow...  That

makes me like them a little.  Only a little bit.



20.  DIDDLE HAD IT! - Diddle's had enough of his job.

     What's the difference between people who like doing the same thing

everyday and the ones who don't?  I like being a cactus everyday, but

maybe I'm not supposed to.  Did I get that right?



21.  GLASS TOWER - Get to know Pearl at the tower.

     A girl went up a tower to see her past, or something like that.

I'm losing track of what's going on, and getting a little bit tired of

keeping my diary lately.



22.  TWO PEARLS - Search for Pearl in the tower!

     Pearl disappeared, and then Elazul found her.  But Blackpearl was

there too and wouldn't give Pearl back to Elazul.  We need more love in

this world.



23.  FLAME OF HOPE - Solve the unsolvable in Gato!

     Popo bug is reeaaally long, with lots and lots of knobs, and it's

easy to break one Popo bug to make two Popo bugs.  Who gets hurt when a

Popo bug is in someone's tummy?  The Popo bug?



24.  COSMO - Search for the kidnapped Pearl!

     Pearl disappeared again, so Elazul went and looked for her again.

Sandra and Lord Jewels and lots of people were in today's story.  It

made me sleepy.



25.  CAN'T LOOK BACK - Learn of Mephianse's past...

     I remember the part about a sorcerer named Mephianse, but I don't

remember anything else, because I sort of fell asleep.  I hope my master

didn't see me sleeping.



26.  A SIREN'S SONG - The Siren was persecuted.

     A birdgirl was trapped in a birdcage, and a fishgirl guarded the

birdcage for the birdgirl.  I want a friend who guards my cactus pot.



27.  SUMMER LOVIN' - David and Valerie's Endless Summer.

     Clobbering crabs at the beach!  That sounds like fun, but I feel

bad for the crabs.  Surprise lesson of the day: penguins can fall in

love!



28.  DROWNED DREAMS - Ghosts in Polpota Harbor!?

     I hear that Basket Fish is a weirdo and has attitude problems.  He

should try harder, if he wants to become human.  I think I'll try harder

too.



29.  FLOURITE - Into Florina's nightmare!

     Today it was about going to a desert and seeing desert people, or

something like that.  It was a bit difficult for me to understand.

Desert troopers?  Hurricane fighters?



30.  FAERIES' LIGHT - Help Monique sell some lamps.

     Learned Dudbear words to sell lamps to Dudbears!  Just what is

master up to?  But it's neat that master comes by to tell me funny

stories like that.



31.  LUCKY CLOVER - Adventure in Geo with Esmeralda!

     Another friend in my master's life.  She was a pile of dirt?  Did I

get that right?  I didn't know what to say to that, so I couldn't look

straight into my master's eyes.  Sorry.



32.  ALEXANDRITE - Escort Pearl to Diana of Geo!

     Hey, what does a Jumi say when he sees his people after a long

time?  "Jumis me?"  Get it?  "Ju-miss me?"  Wait, what's the matter?

You can't take the "pun"ishment?



33.  TEARDROP STONE - To the Jumi's Bejeweled City!

     I guess there is a place called the Bejeweled City in this world,

but that name sounds flakey.  I think my master was making up this

story.



34.  QUIET SEA - The Buccaneer's sails fell slack.

     A penguin reeled-in a bottled ghost, and all the penguins on the

ship ended up collapsing!  That is really scary!  But I wonder how the

ghost fit inside a bottle?



35.  TREASURE MAP - A treasure map in Mekiv Caverns?

     Today my master joined a fight between the penguins and the

Dudbears.  Why?  I don't understand humans at all.



36.  REACH FOR THE STARS - Stop Mephianse's desert rampage!

     A sorcerer did a little old magic in the desert.  I was watching

it, too, and it was really cool!  I guess the ancient people thought

better things back then.



37.  DRAGON PRINCESS - Now for the third dragon!

     Larc is working for his Boss because he wants to get out of there.

But I think he is enjoying it.  I've got to see him to learn the truth.



38.  WIND GUARDIAN - Slay a dragon in the mountains!

     So my master fought lots of birds today.  I wonder if it hurts to

be poked around by their beaks?



39.  BONE DRAGON - Hunt the second dragon!

     Was it fun going up and down in the fort made of bones?  Or was it

scary?  I wouldn't know, because I'm only a cactus in a pot.



40.  CRIMSON DRAGON - On to Drakonis with Sierra!

     The Underworld went upside down and a burning castle came out.  And

there was a big dragon that master had to fight.  Cuz my master came

back, I guess the dragon is no more, right?



41.  FALLEN EMPEROR - To the depths of the Underworld!

     A dog-faced dragoon came out and took my master downstairs when

master touched a tombstone.  How am I supposed to picture this?  It's

really tough.



42.  BLESSED ELIXIR - Draw water from the oasis.

     The barrel in my master's soul had a blast at the desert.  Ah, the

desert!  Home of my soul, desert!  The hot, scorching sun and the dry,

dry air.  I need to go there.



43.  SEEING DOUBLE - A supernatural sighting in Domina.

     A tiny weirdo did all sorts of bad things today, and now a lot of

people got scratches on their hearts.  Little scratches on people's

hearts will be gone if they pat them from behind, but the humans don't

know that.



44.  CAGE OF DREAMS - The Sproutling outside is gone!

     Grandpa sorcerer hid a Sproutling in his dream!  Wow, that grandpa

can really do amazing things.  I wonder if I can do that?



45.  NIC'S BUSINESS 2 - To the waterfall to pick Greenballs!

     Greenballs look like locusts without their wings.  They don't look

that yummy to me.  I'd rather have fish for dinner.



46.  NIC'S BUSINESS 3 - Flowerlings in the ruins?

     Niccolo tried to catch the psychokinetic Flowerling to make himself

filthy rich, but it got away.  I wish I was psychic, because I would use

that power to write my diaries.



47.  NIC'S BUSINESS 4 - Showing Watt's how to make a sale.

     Watt's tried to make a new wallet just like his old one, but I

think he made a mistake somewhere.  Maybe it's the width, or maybe it's

the crooked edge.



48.  FINAL BUSINESS? - Show Kristie the ultimate deal!

     Niccolo lost his memories and then got them back.  My master didn't

tell me where and how they found the lost memories, so I guess it's top

secret.  I will keep my mouth shut.



49.  LI'L CACTUS - Li'l Cactus off to cure Bud?

     Finally I got to go on an adventure on my own.  Greenballs, Tako

bugs, I will never forget your smiles.  I feel like I saved the world

today.  Just feeling like that is enough for me.



50.  RACHEL - Rachel ran away from home!

     Rachel went to the witch of reincarnation and was turned into a

blue jiggly.  I wonder what kind of life the green wiggly was having,

but am I the only one thinking about this?



51.  NORDIC FIELD - From the ship to the snow...

     Faeries can be and can't be seen by people.  I guess seeing a

Faerie is just like dreaming.  Wait, do I actually see a dream?  Or is

it something that really happens?



52.  BURIED TREASURE - From the ship to the beach...

     Today my master bribed the Dudbears to get some treasure.  Oh, so

that's how the treasure-hunters get what they want.  I see.



53.  BLACKSMITHING - Learn how to hammer from Watts.

     There's a new room in the backyard workshop.  It's to make weapons

and armors for my master to be able to whack some more little monsters.

That's not nice.  We should all be friends.



54.  INSTRUMENTS 101 - Help a student make instruments.

     Now my master can make more instruments in the backyard workshop.

Wow, master is really learning how to pick on those monsters!



55.  GOLEM WORKSHOP - Take over Prof. Bomb's research.

     I can put some stuff together and make my own Golem!  My master

should add that to the resume for future job-hunting.



56.  MANA ORCHARDS - Weeds are all over your home.

     Mr. Grandpa tree is so big and scary, it makes me want to hide by

his roots.  His roots look like the best place to hide.



57.  MONSTER CORRAL - Find a fledgling in Domina.

     Now my master can bring back eggs of other animals to raise them as

pets!  I can't pet them because I'm all spikey, but humans will be okay

because they aren't spikey like me.



58.  SCHOOL AMOUR - Back to school for kids of Geo.

     They all didn't want to go back, but when my master talked to them

they decided to go back.  What did master say to them?  It must be magic.



59.  RESUME FOR LOVE - Can anyone re-fleshify Gilbert?

     Gilbert got to travel to a lot of places because he was a stone

statue and was sold to those many places.  Hey, I think he saved a lot

on travel expenses.



60.  PROF. BOMB - Search for Prof. Bomb's golem.

     There was a big chase to catch a pile of junk that ran away from a

professor.  How could a pile of junk run away on its own?  I don't think

I get it.  Master, you need a rest.



61.  WATTS'S HAMMER - Search for Watts's lost hammer!

     Watts lost his hammer, but my master found it for him.  Doesn't it

feel good to do good things?  It would be nice if master could read me a

story once in a while.  Please?



62.  SEVEN WISDOMS - Help Bud meet the six Wisdoms.

     The little boy got to find six of the Seven Wisdoms.  There are

only six Wisdoms?  Did they pick that name because it sounds good?

Maybe they can't do math.



63.  THE FIELD TRIP - Find reagents at the fortress.

     Picking up stuff from the ground, mixing them and making 'em go

boom!  Isn't that a little bit childish?  Didn't your mommy tell you not

to do things like that?



64.  CATCHIN' LILIPEAS - In search of the Lilipeas.

     I wonder how the Lilipeas sing songs about peas?  Peas!  Peas!  I'm

a teeny-beany pea!  Peas!  Peas!  I'm an itsy-bitsy pea!  This could be

a never-ending song.



65.  LOVE IS BLIND - Elle and Gilbert run away.

     My master went to the sea and tried sinking a ship by singing.  The

ship didn't sink, but if they really believed that the ship would sink

that way, I'd need to make them see a doctor.



66.  WIMPY THUGLING - Defeat Kima!

     Another friend in my master's life.  Found Kima and fought it and

beat it.  More fights and victories for my master to tell me about.

Sigh.



67.  PEE-WEE BIRDIE - Save Pee-Wee, Miss Yuka's pet.

     What kind of bird is Yuka?  There are too many things and people

not involved in my life out there.  That doesn't sound like a good thing

at all.  It's okay with me, but is everybody okay with it?



---  LEGEND OF MANA - The Mana Tree is rotten with evil.

light of fireflies in the midsummer night sky.

the moon and stars to learn of mankind's fate from the heavens.

    _______________________

___/ M.   Equipment        \____________________________________________



1.   KNIFE - 3 Quick Attacks

     A dagger.  It comes in many different styles, and much work goes

into crafting the handle and blade.  Most are designed to be practical.

A shield cannot be used with a knife.  Although it has the shortest

reach, the rate of movement is the fastest.



2.   SWORD - 3 Quick Attacks

     A long sword.  Most are double-edged and have sharp tips.  The

sword is considered a holy weapon due to the precious metals it is made

from.  Is is weilded in one hand, so the rate of movement is average.



3.   AXE - 3 Quick Attacks

     Also known as the hand-axe or hatchet, the axe is a single-bladed

weapon wielded in one hand.  Often thought of as primitive, the rate of

its movement is slower than the sword.



4.   2-HANDED SWORD - 3 Quick Attacks

     The ultimate in swords requires two hands.  Yields epic damage when

swung in a wide arc.  Cannot be used with a shield.  It's quite heavy,

so the rate of your movement is slower.



5.   2-HANDED AXE - 3 Quick Attacks

     The two-handed axe is used for embedding a cold piece of steel in

you enemies.  With an axe like this, who needs a shield?  Unfortunately,

the sheer weight of this weapon will slow your movement to a snail's

pace.



6.   HAMMER - 3 Quick Attacks

     Knock some sense into your opponents with this huge two-handed

hammer.  But don't complain about the slowest movement rate and being

unable to use a shield.



7.   SPEAR - 4 Quick Attacks

     A great way to keep uglies at a distance.  However, in actual

combat the spear is used in a variety of ways.  Of course, a shield is

out of the question, and the shape of the weapon precludes fast

movement.



8.   STAFF - 4 Quick Attacks

     Long staves such as these have multiple uses, and can hit an enemy

both up close and far away.  Since they require both hands, a shield

cannot be used, and the rate of movement is slower than when wielding a

spear.



9.   GLOVE - 5 Quick Attacks

     Nothing beats pummeling the enemy with these reinforced punching

gloves.  Of course, proper boxing stance precludes the use of a shield.

Even though the attack range is short, the rate of its movement is very

fast.



10.  FLAIL - 5 Quick Attacks

     Incredible power is gained when two or more staves are connected

with a chain.  The rate of its movement is quite good, but it is

impossible to use a shield while wielding a flail.



11.  BOW - 3 Quick Attacks

     With a bow, one can lay waste to enemies from afar, and thwack them

when up close, as well.  Scoring a direct hit, however, requires much

practice.  A shield cannot be equipped with a bow.



12.  SHIELD

     The smart sword or axe-wielder will always keep a shield handy.

From large, bejeweled shields to the familiar frying-pan lid, shields

vary greatly in size and strength.



13.  HELM

     Providing ample protection for the head, helms come in all shapes

and sizes, from great steel helms to upside-down pots.  The round shape

of the helm helps deflect incoming blows.



14.  HAT

     Unlike helms, hats are often worn for the enchantments contained

within, rather than for physical defense.  They often grace the heads of

well-known mages and priests.



15.  HAUBERK

     There is a wide range of hauberk types, from highly-decorated

ceremonial hauberk to hauberk that is too heavy for practical use.



16.  ROBE

     Oft worn by mages and clergymen, robes are often designed for other

purposes than mere physical protection, and are decorated with holy

symbols or arcane patterns.



17.  GAUNTLETS

     Guantlets come in many shapes and sizes, but all of them help

protect the arms and hands from nasty cuts and bruises.



18.  RING

     Even a small ring can help protect the finger.  Some are plain,

while others are works of art, worn by those wise in the ways of magic.

Some rings are said to hold incredible power.



19.  BOOTS

     Heavy footwear for the combat enthusiast, boots give protection to

the feet, ankles, and shins from common nicks and scratches, where

needed most.



20.  SANDALS

     Light footwear for the fashion-conscious warrior, sandals afford

less physical protection than boots, but they do seem to protect best

against magic.



21.  ARMOR

     Completely protecting the head, torso, arms, and legs, armor gives

outstanding protection.  However, very little additional armor can be

worn, because armor covers the whole body.



22.  MANTLE

     Mantles are worn over the shoulders, and can be worn over any kind

of armor.  Most protect against magical attacks.



23.  PENDANT

     An accessory that can be worn under all types of armor, pendants

are used for their protective properties.



24.  HARP

     Harps are stringed instruments that can be used to perform magic

with an Elemental Coin.  Such coins are gained by negotiating with a

Spirit.



25.  MARIMBA

     The marimba is a percussion instrument that can be used to play

magic with an Elemental Coin.  The cycles of magic are determined by the

type of instrument, its main material, and the property of the Elemental

Coin used.



26.  FLUTE

     The flute is a wind instrument which can be used to play magic by

using an Elemental Coin.  Elemental Coins are important because they

help determine the type and cycle of magic that will be played.



27.  DRUM

     The drum is a percussion instrument which can be used to play magic

with an Elemental Coin.  During negotiations with a Spirit, it is

important to play tunes that the Spirit enjoys listening to.

    _______________________

___/ P.   World History    \____________________________________________



1.   THE BEGINNING

     A twinkling consciousness became a star which sparkled in the night

and banished the darkness.  The Mana Goddess aquired consciousness by

gazing into the light of that sun.  She made Fa'Diel, a great land, but

so far an empty one.



2.   THE MOON GODS

     The Mana Goddess drew beams of six colors from the sun.  They

became the six moons, each hiding a small diety within.  When those gods

awoke, they played beautiful music and brought fortune to the land of

Fa'Diel.



3.   THE NAMES OF STONES

     The six dieties became the Moon Gods and demanded that the Mana

Goddess name them.  So the Mana Goddess gave each of them a shining

stone, which filled the air with music: "Stars, follow me!  Moons, walk

with me!  And we shall celebrate your names!"



4.   THE MOON'S NAMES

     Tryne, merciful god of water.  Zea, passionate god of fire.

Barlen, selfish god of gold.  Libleyt, hopeful god of wood.  Morphes,

wealthy god of earth.  Ghazel, whimsical god of wind.  The Moon Gods

rejoiced, and the Mana Goddess returned to her slumber, becoming the

great Mana Tree.  Fa'Diel was left to the whims of the Moon Gods.



5.   THE CREATION

     The Moon Gods created land and ocean, trees and flowers, and gave

them light and the power to determine their fate.  The light became the

Elemental Spirits, riding in the sky.  They released bountiful light,

and were full of desire to serve the Moon Gods' will.  The Moon Gods

then finally returned to slumber.



6.   FLAMMIES

     Then, a beautiful yet powerful beast appeared, awakening the Moon

Gods.  The Moon Gods named this beast of strength and beauty Flammy.

Whenever one of the Moon Gods would fall asleep, another Flammy would

appear.  Eventually, Flammies of all six colors came to populate all the

land.



7.   DARK CLOUDS

     The Moon Gods tried to outdo each other in creating beauty.

Sometimes they argued trying to follow the Mana Goddess's will and

create many beasts.  But dark clouds came to Fa'Diel, and the Moon Gods

created greater beasts, and set them loose upon the land.  The Flammies

often quarrelled, and the cycle of creation and destruction repeated

endlessly.



8.   THE HOLE

     The trees withered, and the Elemental Spirits lost their luster.

The land dried up, and soon thereafter, wars began.  As the wars dragged

on, the powers of the Moon Gods were lost.  The land of Fa'Diel was

scarred, and pits to other worlds opened in the wounds.  The Moon Gods

peeked into the other worlds, and came to know fear, envy, and desire.



9.   REBIRTH

     Cracks appeared in the Mana Tree.  Waves of chaos from other worlds

came and tried to envelop all of Fa'Diel.  Each Moon God chose a Flammy

and gave it a stone.  The Flammies rode into the sky.  They were born of

the earth to ride in the sky and return to the earth.  They became a

flying river of Mana.



10.  THE THOUGHTS

     Fa'Diel was filled with the power of Mana.  It healed itself and

shut away the other worlds.  The Flammies returned to the Moon Gods, but

could not find them.  The Moon Gods had lost their memories and became

beasts.  The six remaining Flammies cried in anguish and despair.  The

waves in the air settled, and created many thought forms.



11.  THE REVELATION

     The Flammies turned their backs on the Moon Gods and flew into the

air.  The Moon Gods turned into stars, and the Flammies never came back

down.  New concepts came about after the Flammies and the Moon Gods

departed, but the Elemental Spirits were afraid and prayed to the Mana

Tree, who responded with soft pulses.



12.  THE PROPHECY

     These formless beings will eventually be given form so that they

might live.  They will be given the task of creating this world.  The

thoughts they think will shape the landscape.  They will be born into

this world in fear and sadness.  Sometimes their thoughts may hurt this

world, but you must help them build it.



13.  MAN AND FAERIE

     Soon many new beings were born, such as men and Faeries.  Man used

Mana to power his creations.  Faeries amplified the power of Mana with

song and dance.  Then, from beyond the heavens, six colored beams of

light shone down upon the land.  Six Flammies gazed upon Fa'Diel, and

all life there prospered.  A new age had begun.



14.  THE DARK ONE

     The Flammies of legend never returned from their heavenly climb.

Below, many similar creatures came into being.  For example, dragons

reflected the Flammies' divinity, becoming a race of deep introspection.

They took it upon themselves to protect Fa'Diel from its many foes.



15.  THE FALLEN

     Wyrms are rumored to be Flammies who have fallen into another

world.  Powerful mages summoned them into this world.  Wyrms possess the

incredible powers of the Flammies, but they lack their nobility and

grandeur.  True Flammies are said to appear regal and divine, unlike

dragons and wyrms, but no man can truthfully claim to have seen them.



16.  THE WORK OF MAN

     Humans were destined to reproduce and populate the land, and they

developed the technology to build.  Soon they gained dominance over all

physical things.  The humans who live in this world come in different

forms, but they are all humans.  Some inherit their forms from their

parents, while others are shaped through their experiences.



17.  THE WORK OF FAERIE

     Faeries have transparent wings, which are not used for flying, and

are shed during growth.  Only young Faeries are visible to humans, and

their bodies fade as time goes on.  Eventually, they become completely

invisible to the human eye.



18.  THE MANA TREE

     The Mana Tree sustained the bond between the world of humans and of

Faeries.  Plants exist in both the human and Faerie dimensions.  They

absorb the Mana of Fa'Diel and release it into the atmosphere.  Humans

use trees for fuel and tools, harnessing their power within inanimate

objects.  Faeries use the Mana released by plants to make Fa'Diel a

better place.



19.  SORCERERS

     Although not on par with the Faeries, all human could once harness

the power of Mana.  The ability to draw on the power of Mana was

originally given to all humans equally, but many lost that ability by

relying on machines, and losing touch with the natural world.  Later,

those with the power to draw Mana were called mages.



20.  ANISE

     The Great Witch Anise was the first mage to go down in history.

Anise bored a hole into the Mana Tree and built her laboratory there.

The flow of Mana into both human and Faerie worlds was diverted.  Anise

constructed a jewel called the Eye of Flame using the vast amounts of

Mana in her laboratory.  The Firestone brought out the evil in whoever

it touched.



21.  UNKNOWN STONES

     In the Age of Myth, the stones that the Mana Goddess gave to the

Moon Gods were the most powerful source of magic known.  However, some

powerful magic users born in later ages possessed similar stones.  Anise

tried to obtain such a stone when she created the Eye of Flame, but it

was difficult to control, and very dangerous.



22.  GOLDEN AGE ENDS

     Soon, many others learned how to construct their own Eyes of Flame.

The waves of Mana became chaotic, and shadows clouded the hearts of man.

These pulses tore rifts within the dimensions and sent waves of evil

into the hearts of man.  No longer was all life on the planet descended

from the spirits.  An age had ended.  A world had fallen from its

original purity.



23.  URAKLIUS AEON

     Evil ruled the land thereafter through men who could control the

waves of chaos.  Those of truth cried in anguish, but mages, who

rejoiced in obtaining new powers, firmly believed that this was the

world they wanted.  The mages declared the beginning of a new thousand

year kingdom and called it the Aeon of Uraklius.



24.  THE HOLY WAR

     Aion, the leader of the Faeries, sent an army to conquer Anise.

There, hundreds of Anise's mages battled thousands of Faerie warriors.

The battle was fought overnight, and almost all of the Faeries were

slain.  The few remaining Faeries continued their lives in the land of

men.



25.  THE HIDDEN

    Although the Faeries thought that all humans were enemies, they soon

discovered that there were those in the land of men who could understand

the Faeries.  With the help of the humans, they were again able to

battle Anise and her mages.  Eventually they rose victorious.

Unfortunately, during the fight, the Mana Tree burned to the ground. 



26.  EYES OF FLAME

     Although it was thought that many Eyes of Flame would be recovered

from the ashes, only three were found.  Aion was banished to the

Underworld.  He refused to be reincarnated, and became the Lord of the

Underworld.



27.  THE UNDERWORLD

     Aion, leader of the Faeries, created his new servants, the

Shadoles.  Shadoles were born from the thoughts of Aion, and they

brought the newly departed to the Underworld.  From this time on, all

departed souls are brought to the Underworld to receive the judgment of

its Lord.



28.  SEVENTH MOON

     Anise was killed by a stone called the "Seventh Moon."  Legend has

it that the Faerie warrior who fought against Anise, a master of the Eye

of Flame in her own right, bested her using this mysterious object.



29.  A BRIEF PEACE

     After the Holy War of the Mana Tree, the flow of Mana to the world

resumed.  Before, mages would steal from others, using dangerous magic,

but now the land produced enough for all.  However, the surviving mages

could not stand being equal to their fellow creatures.  They sought

magic that could make everything their own.



30.  MAGES' TOWER

     The mages started building towers at Mana Points all over Fa'Diel

in order to regain the Eyes of Flame.  They took action against the

Faeries, who stood in the way of their plans.  Whenever a tower was

built, an army would come to destroy it.  Such wars continued for

hundreds of years.  Soon, all of humanity came to think of Faeries as

evil beings.



31.  MOUNTAIN SCHOOL

     Elise, who called herself Anuella, was the daughter of Anise.  She

had the power to bring mundane objects to life.  After fleeing her

mother's self-righteous rule, she settled in the northern mountains and

there created a group of dolls who would obey her every command.  They

came to be called magical beings, and her art was promulgated by mages

who idolized her.



32.  ARTIFICERS

     There were two types of magical beings.  One type was imbued with

life.  Another type had hidden powers.  The latter were called

artifacts.  Artifacts had weaker magical powers than Eyes of Flame, but

were simpler to construct.  Creating Eyes of Flame was frought with

accidents, so making artifacts became the most popular kind of magic.



33.  ARGOT

     The king of dragons, Argot, destroyed all the mage towers in the

land of Faeries.  Argot opened a hole into the other worlds and called

forth many monsters.  However, records state that he eventually turned

to evil, and was banished by the Faeries.



34.  LUCEMIA

     Argot summoned a wyrm in the shape of a Flammy.  He summoned

Lucemia, the Wyrm of Light, and the greatest of all the wyrms.  Legend

says that Lucemia leveled each and every mage tower, and died trying to

swallow an entire volcano.



35.  THE LILIPEAS

     The Lilipeas are a small tribe that settled in the northern

mountains.  People said that they were similar to Anuella's dolls.  Only

Selva, who was tall and slim, oft visited Anuella by riding on a bird.

Selva often took Anuella's dolls outside.



36.  THE ASHES

     In a charcoal-maker's hut, a little girl awaited her father's

return.  Her name was Magnolia, and her father made a living from

hunting and from making charcoal.  Selva gave this girl one of Anuella's

dolls.



37.  ANISE'S FIRE

     The doll that was brought into Magnolia's room had red stones as

its eyes.  They were Eyes of Flame that Anise made, and they burst into

flames and burned the hut to ashes.



38.  MAGE AND RUBY

     Magnolia lost her life in the hut as it burned down, but the doll

was saved.  The doll began to call herself Magnolia, and she stayed with

the Lilipeas, until one day she left with a mage.  The mage wanted to

steal the Eyes of Flame in Magnolia's eyes, for they contained more Mana

energy than the enchanted instruments.



39.  GAEUS

     Anuella saw through the mage's plot.  She left the northern

mountain, then gave life to a rocky hill so the mage's caravan could not

progress further.  The living hill called itself Gaeus, and its

knowledge seemed deeper, and more vast than Anuella's.  Anuella called

for Gaeus' help and prepared for war.



40.  THE CONDUCTOR

     All the Faeries fought on Anuella's side, using many enchanted

instruments.  The mage's force fell apart against the power of the

instruments with infinite Mana power.  Anuella came to be known as the

"Player of the Flying Contrabass," and as "the Conductor" among Faeries.



41.  MAGE HALCIET

     Halciet the Mage was the last one who stood against Anuella.  He

used a stone called "the Seventh Moon" and fought against Anuella, but

the mages among his army began a quarrel over the stone's possession,

and Halciet left the force.



42.  GEIMASWALD

     The mages made a magic circle with the Eyes of Flame and summoned

the Wyrm of Thunder, Geimaswald, to attack Anuella.  But the Lilipeas

lured Geimaswald into a cave and killed it.  The leader of the Lilipeas

was Selva of the Four Winds.



43.  EASTERN WIND

     It became known to the mages that these instruments could be used

as weapons.  The mages took the remaining Eyes of Flame and the

instruments aquired in the previous battles and fled to the east.

There, the mages made instruments with more Mana power and dedicated

them to their new lord, Lonway.



44.  EMPEROR LONWAY

     The mages provided Lonway with their magic, and urged him to

prepare for battle with the Faeries.  Lonway's army then progressed to

the ancient city of Mindas to open the gates to the land of Faeries.

Many nations used this as an excuse to start their own political

battles.



45.  RICROT IV

     Ricrot IV was supported by Anuella, and was given an army of wooden

horses that could fly in the sky to fight against Lonway and his mages.

He came to be known as the "King of Wooden Horses."  Many brave men

enlisted in Ricrot's army.



46.  SPIRITUAL WAR

     Gato Grottoes were Fa'Diel's power nexus, protected by "the Spirits

of the Ascetics."  Many monks fought as soldiers, and the high priests

stopped enemies from other dimensions by sending their spirits to

battle.  Intense battles between the dimensions and other worlds took

place in Gato.



47.  ROSIOTTI

     Rosiotti was a hero who could pierce a warrior's chest with his

arrows from miles away.  It was anticipated that his bravery and skills

would change the war's outcome.  However, he only became Lonway's

general because Lonway promised him great rewards.



48.  THE CHASE

     In the midst of intense battles between Ricrot and Lonway's army,

Selva of the Four Winds brought his army of Lilipeas and Flowerlings to

fight on Ricrot's side.  Lonway then ordered Rosiotti to kill Selva.  No

one had ever escaped Rosiotti's arrows, and the chase was on.



49.  SELVA

     Selva kept commanding his army, while fleeing Rosiotti's never-

ending chase at the same time.  When Rosiotti finally shot Selva's heart

with his arrows, he was surrounded by countless Lilipeas.  It was then

that Rosiotti was told to become a Wisdom, to walk the same path with

them.



50.  CONJUROR NUNUZAC

     Nunuzac was Lonway's best and the most powerful summoner.  He

summoned Freymold, the Wyrm of Fire, as Lonway ordered him when the tide

of war began to turn against him.  Nunuzac kept summoning monsters until

Lonway was killed, and he himself became trapped in the dimension on the

other side of his magic circle.



51.  WARRIOR OLBOHN

     Another army to join the war was Aion's force of "Creatures of

Shadow" from the Underworld.  These "Creatures of Shadow," or the

Shadoles, caught and threw living people into the Underworld and trapped

them there.  Olbohn the Swordsman went down to the Underworld by himself

and defeated Aion.



52.  FREYMOLD

     Freymold, the Wyrm that was summoned by Nunuzac, flew across

Fa'Diel and burned Rosiotti's jungle to ashes.  Rosiotti raged over this

event, and later joined Anuella's force.



53.  KNIGHT OF TRUTH

     Lasdanac was the Holy Knight of Ricrot's army who was taught the

"Spell of Truth" by the Faeries.  With this spell, he defeated Freymold,

but it is told that he later fell to a Faerie's curse.



54.  THE NEW WORLD

     After the war came to an end, Ricrot IV built churches and began

compiling "the Book of Divine Guidance."  He also established the

Academy of Magic with a portrait of the great witch, Anise, inside and

summoned her spirit to it.  Anuella was displeased by this event.



55.  TEMPLE OF HEALING

     The temples lost many of their monks and priests as they came under

Ricrot's rule.  All the male priests were taken and sent to the Academy

of Magic as magic researchers, to lessen resitance from the religious

organizations.



56.  ANUELLA

     In the years following the war, Ricrot sent soldiers to capture and

kill off the surviving soldiers of Lonway's army, as well as the

Faeries, which he called "the Ones with Devilish Powers."  Anuella left

Ricrot and locked herself into a place named "the Graveyard of

Artifacts."



57.  MANA STONES

     The seventh Mana Stone was desired for its Mana power, and it

appeared in history many times.  Jumis were the first ones to be

searched for the possession of the stone.  It is said that an

uncountable number of Jumis were hunted down and killed for this

purpose.



58.  DIRT

     When Jumis were being hunted during the search for the seventh Mana

Stone, they died after intentionally lessening the energy flow in their

jewel cores.  Many Jumis died this way to protect the secret of their

clan, and mages began to call them "lumps of dirt" as a result.



59.  ANGELS

     There was a new movement in the land of Faeries, as Zuf'ben became

their new leader.  The spiritual waves of the two worlds were becoming

magnified, and many expected the worlds to become one.  Zuf'ben lamented

over the humans' corruption, and called upon higher beings for help.

Angels answered his prayers.



60.  JANNA

     Angels were beings who serve the Goddess, and cannot normally be

seen by Faeries or humans.  Seven angels chose to reincarnate in the

land of Faeries, and they rode on Janna, a ship with its own

consciousness.



61.  INCARNATION

     In order to control the Janna, the angels decided to reincarnate

into Faeries and humans.  The reborn angels would lose their memories,

until Janna could awaken them.



62.  MALICIOUS MIND

     Zuf'ben rode Janna and searched both Fa'Diel and the land of

Faeries to find the seven angels, but humans attacked Janna, afraid of

the flying ship.  During the attack, the minds of those onboard the ship

were tainted with evil.



63.  UNAWAKENED ANGELS

     The angels transmuted into their human and Faeries forms, but they

lost awareness of their true nature, because they could not sense

Janna's benevolence.  Some of the angels even joined the battle to gain

control of Janna.  Janna turned to evil, and villainous people gained

demands over her.



64.  ANCIENT MEMORIES

     Even though Janna had not awakened them, six of the seven angels

regained their memories.  One cried for a fallen friend, one confronted

Janna, one crossed swords with a former angel, one heard the guidance of

a Wisdom: "Six angels' memories were restored, but the seventh would

never awaken."



65.  SEVENTH ANGEL

     In the dreams of the six angels, a seventh angel appeared.  But he

did not answer the calls of the others.  He was neither human nor

Faerie, but a Jumi.  Both humans and Faeries had used the Jumi to

strengthen their magic in the war.



66.  JANNA'S END

     The angels gave up on retrieving Janna, and chose to fight for the

Jumi.  With help from the Wisdoms, they built a ship to confront Janna,

and joined the war.  The angels defeated the leader of the humans and

Zuf'ben, who had become an evil Faerie, and sealed Janna in the

dimensional gap.  Then they remained in Fa'Diel.



67.  DIVINE GUIDANCE

     As time went by, "the Rules for Peace" which Ricrot started changed

to "the Peace for Rule."  "The Book of Divine Guidance" was used to

propagate the empire's religious and political thoughts, and many

"heretics" were hunted down by the empire's army.



68.  DEATHBRINGER

     Irzoile Enaanshalc was the fifteenth emperor of the Enaanshalc

Empire, and he was called the Deathbringer.  He was a descendant of

Ricrot Enaanshalc, a hero in the era of the Faerie War, but his

oppressive reign caused the empire's fall.



69.  HOLY KNIGHT

     The chivalric code, which Ricrot IV established, produced many

legendary heroes in a short time period.  Julio Liotte was the most

accomplished knight in the empire's army, and thus he was given the

title of "Holy Knight," and became the guardian of the empire.  The

Liotte family passed this title down the line.



70.  THE HALLOWAYS

     To commemorate the souls of heroes lost during the war, Ricrot IV

established shrines to the Mana Goddess, and closed down most of the

older temples aside from the one in Gato.  The Halloway family was a

line of priests, but under the rule of Ricrot's empire, its influence

diminished.



71.  WINDCALLERS

     The clan of Windcallers could speak to and control the wind.  They

live quietly in a village by the base of Norn's Peak, and kept their

watchful eyes on any intruders that might disturb their way of life.



72.  EMPIRE'S FALL

     Irzoile Enaanshalc desired immortality, and sent his army to

retrieve the Dragon Stones which the ancient dragons protected.  His

attempts failed, and he lost his life as a result.  But his overwhelming

desire for immortality made Jajara, the bone dragon, choose him to

become his dragoon.

4.   LOGIC GRID

     Q: What determines the size of the logic grid?

     A: The number of armor pieces used for the golem's body.

     The larger the grid, the more logic blocks it can hold, for a wider

variety of golem actions.



5.   GOLEM'S ACTIONS

     Q: What determines a logic block's type?

     A: The combination of its components.

     Try different equipment combinations to create blocks you want for

desired action patterns of your golem!



6.   LOGIC TYPES

     Q: What determines a logic block's shape?

     A: The combination of its components.

     All logic blocks have one of eleven shapes, and each block's

effectiveness derives from the components' parameters.



7.   ATTACK TYPES

     Q: What determines the golem's attack mode?

     A: The type of the weapon used for the golem's body.

     Some blocks cannot be assigned to a golem if the block's attack

type differs from the golem's attack type.



8.   ATTACK & DEFENSE LEVEL

     Q: What determines golem attack and defense levels?

     A: The characteristics of the weapons and armor used.

     Golem parameters such as HP, attack and defense, and elemental

levels, are determined by the components used to make its body.  This

does not include logic grid size and rate of malfunction.



9.   MALFUNCTION RATE

     Q: How is the malfunction rate determined?

     A: The number of armor pieces used as components.

     The higher the percentage shown on the menu screen, the more

frequently golem fails to deliver an attack.  If one action fails,

actions connected by wedge-marks also fail to deliver.



10.  CHOICES OF ACTION

     Q: How does a golem decide which action to take?

     A: By referring to its action gauge and calculating the distance to

the enemy.

     The logic grid has two axes.  One is the action gauge, and the

other is the distance between the golem and the enemy.

1.   WISH TO LIVE IN PEACE?

     Yes = Normal Mode

     No  = see 2.



2.   WANT A NIGHTMARE?

     Yes = Nightmare Mode

     No  = see 3.



3.   WISH TO HAVE A FUTURE?

     No  = No Future Mode

     ... = no change



Simply put, these are the game's difficulty settings and are only

available after completing it and restarting from the defeated save

data.  Descriptions follow.



a.   NORMAL MODE

     This is the default setting.  Most players find there isn't much of

a challenge with this setting.  Battles, including bosses, are

relatively easy.  This mode is for people who don't really like battles

and play more for substance and/or speed.



b.   NIGHTMARE MODE

     This is the HARD difficulty setting.  Battles will be drawn out

quite a bit more as the monsters have all been pumped-up a decent

amount.  Each monster, including bosses, will be approximately twenty to

forty levels higher than they previously were, complete with increased

stats and Hit Points.  Definately for people who like to fight.



c.   NO FUTURE MODE

     Not for the faint of heart.  This mode pits the player against

extreme battle situations.  All monsters, including bosses, will be

maxed-out at level ninety-nine (though spirit incompatability may reduce

this a bit), complete with increased stats and Hit Points.  And you

thought Nightmare Mode was hard.  You ain't seen nothing until you've

been up against Rabites from hell.  *grins*

I'm a big Seiken Densetsu fan. I've loved the series since back before I

knew its real name, when it began as `Final Fantasy Adventure` on the

Gameboy.  And I would have to say that `Secret of Mana` (SD2) is

probably the most played game I own.  To me it never gets old.  So I

figured I'd thank the Square staff for once again putting together a

great game.  Granted I wish this game had better multi-player support

(like SD2 & SD3) and that SD3 would have made it world-wide, I can at

least hope Square will give us an SD Anthology.  Please?  PLEASE?!

*ahem*  Anyway, I'll wrap this up here, considering there's really

nothing else to say.  I thank you for viewing this far and hope that

this FAQ will prove to be useful for you.  So without further ado, I

wish you well in your endeavors.  Take care.  =^,^=
