A. INRO AND LECTURE
THIS GAME RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHYEAH!!!! great RPG!!
classic!!! epic!!! well, I bet you already know this, so enough of that.
DO NOT STEAL THIS FAQ!!!! you know what I'm talking about! If you would like
to put this FAQ on your site, just email me, I'm not unreasonable, I just want
my credit. If you wish to PUBLISH this FAQ in a magazine, then I would like a
free copy of that magazine, or just give me credit for my work. (ahahaha, man
that'd be coool) and make sure to email me BEFORE it goes to print
TRY TO PLAY THE GAME YOURSELF FIRST! come on! be a man! be a woman! be a
gamer!!! this is cheating if ever there was cheating, and mainly it cheats you
out of your own accomplishments
use this for a second run, or if you are stuck or something harsh like
that...or be a cheater, I don't mind
THIS IS NOT A DISCOVERY GUIDE!! that online map does it best, and I don't
wanna run thru all the sayings, cause sometimes they change, and someone else
is doing that...
DISCOVERIES ARE A LARGE PART OF THE GAME, when you run across islands and
generally fly thru the air, sometimes your compass will spin wildly, pressing
the "A" button will reveal a DISCOVERY, once you find a DISCOVERY, go to a
SAILOR'S GUILD and sell that info for good money, the longer you wait, the
more chance Domingo will beat you to it, also, you can buy info to hint at
where to find a discovery, and if you find one, but wait a long time to report
it, you will get far less cash for it. There will be a FEW discoveries
mentioned in this FAQ cause you need to make some for certain other events to
go down
This game rules, there should be several FAQs for it, consider this my
offering to the cool people that made this game for me to play. That and the
fifty bucks I paid for it....
B. WALKTHRU/FAQ!!!!
BATTLE SYSTEM
Wow, this system is very nice! you have attacks and spells like any good RPG,
but you also have the SPIRIT POINT SYSTEM (SP) all the cool stuff in this game
requires the use of SP. Magic Spells always cost ONE MP, but depending on the
power, will cost SEVERAL SP. Your party has ONE spirit bar, and you all will
share that pool of SP. Depending on you WILL and your LEVEL, you will start a
battle with a set number of SP, and you have a MAX value you can achieve. Each
ROUND of battle, you will add the value of SP you started with to the value of
SP you currently possess. In your choice of actions, you have one called
"FOCUS" which causes that character to "build up"some extra SP. SP WINS
BATTLES! you NEED SP to do all the power moves in the game! Try to raise SP as
soon as possible.
S moves are very important. These moves are yet another choice for each turn
of battle. They require only SP to be performed. Usually these are the most
damaging moves in the game. Each character has a set number of S moves they
can learn. To learn S moves you need MOONBERRIES. MOONBERRIES are found in
treasure chests, on the Pinta Quest, and dropped from battles. More on these
in the character lists.
Moonstone System: you will gain moonstones during this game. There are Six,
each has a specific color. During battles, you can change the color of your
weapon to the color of any moonstone you possess. This affects several
things. First of all, when you see an enemy in battle, you can see a set of
boxes in the top right corner, the border will be a color, most
colors/moonstones have OPPOSING moonstones, some are weak to one type and
strong against another. Also, when the battle ends, you will gain points
towards magic spells based on whatever moonstone power you have on your weapon
at that time. If you want to learn Purple spells, have a purple moonstone
effect on your weapon. When more than one moonstone is in effect, everyone
gets *some* points for each color, but will gain the most points for whatever
color individually equipped.
IMPORTANT: SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED BY THE MANUAL
****THIS IS THE MOONSTONE CHART****
RED beats GREEN
PURPLE and RED are equally strong against each other, and very strong at that
BLUE beats RED
PURPLE beats BLUE
GREEN beats PURPLE
YELLOW beats BLUE
GREEN DESTROYS YELLOW
SILVER and YELLOW are equally strong against each other
Swashbuckler System: you will be ranked as a swashbuckler by choices
throughout the game. Often you will be asked a question, and will have
multiple allowed responses. Choosing wisely will allow you to gain a better
reputation. It's been said that fighting battles will also increase your
rating, and running will decrease it. Try to remember: Being Brave is NOT the
same as being Reckless!
Magic:
as stated, ONE MP per spell, but MUCHO SP if it's a powerful spell
each moonstone/color set has SIX SPELLS, usually four levels of ATTACK and two
STATUS EFFECTS
here's the list of spells, what they do, and required SP, NOT in the order
learned:
GREEN SPELLS:
1. Sacri, heals one ally for 500, 2
2. Sacres, heals one ally for 1000, 4

2. Crystales, ice damage on one enemy, 2
3. Crystaleum, ice damage on one enemy, 3
4. Crystalen, ice damage on one enemy, 4
5. Sylenis, prevents spellcasting of one target by silencing them, 2

5. Eternes, instant death to ALL enemies, may not hit at all, 10
6. Eternum, instant death to one enemy, if target is immune, they will recieve
damage, 15
CREW COMMAND:
once you have your own ship and some crew members you are given a new/hidden
attack choice
first, you must MAX out your SP bar, then the CREW command is available to you
you can either choose to have your crew members band together for an
attack/heal combo
or you can have your battle party do a massive attack, as long as all four are
in good health
the PROPHECY attack is pure attack power
the BLUE ROGUE mode splits the damage of PROPHECY in half, and uses half the
points towards damage on the enemy, and half towards healing your party
SHIP BATTLES:
YEAHHHHH!!!! THESE ARE COOL!!!!
when you run into another bad ship or a really big monster, you get into a
SHIP BATTLE!!!!
The way this works is this; you get a grid displaying the next round, you will
have as many turns in a round as you have characters in your battle party. You
will assign each member to a turn, and then you will see that round played
out. You will also see a "guide" to each turn, in the form of a colored dot or
icon above that turn, a GREEN dot means you will recieve low damage, or the
enemy will miss, it's also possibly that you have a better chance to hit and
do damage, YELLOW means medium danger, and RED means a super attack or a round
where you are really vulnerable. a C! means you will probably hit and get a
critical one at that, and for your SPECIAL CANNON, you will see a special icon
of it in a particular round, that is the ONLY time you can use that SPECIAL
CANNON, when you see the icon. SPECIAL CANNONS use up a LOT of SP, and you
will see the NEXT rounds turn options, so you will know this is coming.
SOMETIMES you will see the NEXT round flipping, this means a SWASHBUCKLER
situation is coming up, or rather a chance situation, you will often get a
direct choice to "fall back" or "press the attack" doing so will result in one
of the two flipping round selections. SOMETIMES you are not given a choice,
and you must guess and act accordingly.
CHARACTERS IN YOUR PARTY: you will almost always have Vyse, Aika, and Fina,
and you will often have a fourth person in your party...
VYSE: the main man, the swashbuckler, YOU, whatever ya wanna call him....

have a mission and a plan!!!
*CATACOMBS!
follow the only path until you find a split, go LEFT for TREASURES: Pyri Box 1
and Curia Crystal 3
go back to the path, and continue, run down the steps for TREASURES: Heavy
Armor 1 and Assassin Blade 1
go back up the steps and take the turn for the rest of the path, to a SAVE
POINT
****HINT**** you might wanna try PINTA's QUEST now, to get a few more healing
items...the next battles are the toughest in the game, in my opinion...try to
be around level 10 or so....
run up the steps for another
BOSS ENCOUNTER: Bleigock - GREEN
it has two special attacks that hit EVERYONE
Poisonous Bile may also poison
Frost Breath does ICE damage
FOCUS or use Drachma's second Smove to build up SP
then unleash Cutlass Furies or Tackles
once you've won, go BACK AND SAVE and heal up, the real tough battle is up
that ladder!!
go up, and yet another
BOSS ENCOUNTER: Executioner - YELLOW, 2 Spell Wardens - YELLOW
BEWARE the Executioner's TACKLE, especially if one of the wizards casts
INCREMA on him!!
it does MASSIVE damage! and hits in a cone pattern, try to stay at full HP
also, SONIC WAVE is a line attack that does ok damage
the Spell Wardens will cast helpful spells, like healing and power up, as well
as some offensive spells
Aika's second Smove renders spells useless against your allies, so if you have
that, it might be a good choice
if you have Tackle and Cutlass Fury, however, you may want to cast Increma on
one of those and try to kill the Executioner before he can TACKLE anyone, then
mop up
RESCUE FINA
Go back to the SAVE POINT, talk to MARCO, go in the passageway....
TREASURES: Sacri Crystal 4 and Magic Droplet 4
talk to DYNE
SB RANK! you're a hero, you like cute chicks, for best results: "RESCUE FINA"
follow the only path up to UPPER VALUA, the old man on the bench asks you a
question, just answer honestly, it doesn't seem to matter
go up the bridge and see your target! time to ride the rail cars!!!
run to the front, and don't run back towards Galcian...
you will enounter pairs of PATROL GUARDS - YELLOW as the only enemies on the
railcars
get to Fina, and you will have yet another
BOSS ENCOUNTER: 2 Royal Guards - YELLOW
pain in the BUTT, these guys....one almost always gets into a COUNTERSTANCE
they have healing and massive defense! try to build SP to max,, then unleash
Cutlass Fury as much as you can! it'll take some time....
win and be rescued! yay! now you need to escape Valua, but to do that you need
to fight..
BOSS SHIP ENCOUNTER: Valuan Ship
just build up SP, it can't kill ya in one round, use the SPECIAL CANNON as
soon as you can, and destroy the poor ship, make escape and go home!
SB RANK! Fina has a quest, you have wanderlust, for best results: "GO ON THE
QUEST"
Fina is now part of your group, and you meet Cupil, meaning it's TIME TO WATCH
FOR CHAMS!
ones in places you've already been to:
PIRATE ISLE BASE, on the catwalks, you'll find the CHAM, you have to go here
to leave, so you'll run into it
leave and go to SHRINE ISLE, go inside the shrine, you'll hear the beep, feel
the jump pack, but to get it, go around and outside, and around til you can
come back inside, once inside the door, run to the LEFT and find the CHAM
go to SAILOR'S ISLE and up into the LIGHTHOUSE for another CHAM
stock up, and head towards the RED MOON...
since you have the harpoon cannon, you can now pass thru STONE REEFS, and this
means you can make a few DISCOVERIES for some loot! the RED CRYSTAL IS YOUR
MISSION...
*****END DETAILED WALKTHRU********

*************************************
*SPECIAL PORTION* RIXIS/GREEN CRYSTAL/GOLDEN STATUE/BIRD/RIDDLE
when you rescue the King of Ixa Taka's best priest from moonstone mountain,
you will recieve a riddle on where to find the green crystal, you need to make
TWO discoveries for this, the BIRD and the GOLDEN MAN
to find these, go to one of the closer PILLAR MOUNTAINS north of the KING'S
HIDEOUT, when the compass goes nutz, press "A" for the GOLDEN STATUE
for the BIRD DISCOVERY, go to the large island somewhat west of the KING's
HIDEOUT, I believe there is a big waterfall pouring into it...between two
forests you will see the outline of a bird on a big patch of grass, press the
"A" button for this DISCOVERY, both the bird's beak, and the hand on the
statue are pointing, follow this path to the base of a PILLAR MOUNTAIN, and
big head, the BIG STATUE has two eyes, you will put a crystal in each eye of
the little statues....one of the big statue's eyes is BLUE, so put the BLUE
crystal into the little statue closest to this eye, and then do the other one,
and there ya go
MIDDLE PART*coming soon*

*SPECIAL PORTION* FINA'S SHIP AND VELORUIM
when you go into the DEEP DEEP SKY...you will have limited radar to find the
ship and the velorium, this sucks, cause it was hard for me to find the rift
to enter in the first place
if you drop your claw into a BAD square, you fight RAJA a big manta, to KICK
RAJA's BUTT EASY, use Crystalen the LEVEL 4 ICE SPELL, it has a 100% ACCURACY
RATING, and does so much damage that if everyone casts this, RAJA dies in ONE
ROUND....maybe you don't wanna fight RAJA at all? well here ya go:
VELORIUM: there are TWO pieces, get them and RYUKAN will make you a master
SWORD
VELORIUM ONE: go to the LOWER LEFT GREEN SQUARE, then go RIGHT ONE SQUARE, and
UP THREE SQUARES, here's the dig
VELORIUM TWO: FROM VELORUIM ONE, go RIGHT ALL THE WAY (SIX squares) and UP ONE
SQUARE, here's the dig
FINA'S SHIP: go to the LOWER RIGHT GREEN SQUARE all the way over, then go ONE
SQUARE UP, and THREE SQUARES LEFT, here is fina's ship
MINI FAQ:

Fina has only one item to attack with, and that's CUPIL, her shapechanging
pet/weapon
for CUPIL to become stronger, it needs to eat CHAMS, it takes about 3 or 4
CHAMS to level up
in this world there are 30 CHAMS and 3 ABIRIK CHAMS
I found 27 on my first run, then I got the first two official downloads, and
on one part, there is another one...
you need a VMU or a JUMP PACK to find chams...when one is close, the jump pack
will vibrate, and the VMU will beep, the closer you are, the more often the
BEEPS or VIBRATIONS
press "A" to find it, the best method for me was to go to the area with the
most beeps and roll the analog so I ran in circles, pressing "A" rapidly
ABIRIK CHAMS
abirik chams can cause an instant level change for CUPIL
these are found in various parts in the middle portion or so of the game....
ABIRIK IN THE SKY
in MIDDLE SKY, close to the top, close to a wind rift, near IXA TAKA, there is
a ship, it will trade you ONE ABIRIK CHAM for 10 SARDI FISH, sardi fish can be
found near pirate and sailor isle, just run into the mass of fish
also, Pinta's Quest often turns up Sardi fish
ABIRIK IN NASR
at some point in the game, your party will be split up, with Vyse in one place
and Aika in NASR
go to the NASR ITEM SHOP, and talk to the man at the counter that is NOT the
ITEM MERCHANT
he will talk to you and give you an ABIRIK CHAM, if you do NOT speak to him
during this time, you must wait until your ENTIRE party is back together, and
then he will give you one...
ABIRIK FOR A KABAL SKEWER
after you complete the BLUE CRYSTAL scenario, go to ESPERANZA, and talk to the
girl at the TAVERN, she will ask you to talk to a woman in MARAMBA, you will
then be going between these two people several times, eventually you will be
asked to find THREE ITEMS for a kabal skewer...ugh, this part is shady
you need GENTUM, KABAL, and KHALE
GENTUM: talk to the NASR ITEM MERCHANT, he will give you the GENTUM
KABAL: in NORTH OCEAN, there is now a BISTRO, that is floating in mid sky, it
is almost DIRECTLY WEST OF VALUA'S GRAND FORTRESS, and just a bit SOUTH,
you'll see little gray islands on your map, it's around there. go and talk to
the head of the BISTRO, and he'll give you KABAL meat
KHALE: ARRGGH, the part that made me cheat! you must make the SPICE ISLE
DISCOVERY
ugh, go SOUTH OF YAFUTOMA until you see some floating WALLS, this is a
DISCOVERY, good for you, now, look on your map, where you are is the wall
discovery, and look at YAFUTOMA, now, fly to almost PERFECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF
THESE TWO PLACES, now, begin flying WEST towards the DARK RIFT, eventually, in
mid sky, you will see the Dark Rift, and then your COMPASS will go nutz, press
"A" and you've discovered SPICE ISLE and recieved KHALE
now, go back to the girl in the ESPERANZA tavern, and take the skewer to the
other lady, and then return to the tavern to get the final ABIRIK CHAM!!
ZIVILYN BANE: good for money
in 8 places in the world you will see a treasure, when you try to get it, you
will suddenly fight a guy out of the shining force 3 series (well kinda looks
like a bandit...)
when you beat him you get the treasure which is worth a lot of money,
according to sega and some others, that is all you get from Z. Bane, so just
sell the stuff and be even richer
so far, I've found him at:
PYRYNN
RIXIS
GRAND FORTRESS
DARK RIFT
MOUNT KAZAI
GLACIA
DACCAT'S ISLAND
and I've been told he's in
SOLTIS but I didn't find him there, also, that's my least explored dungeon, so
it makes some sense...
hey someone at the gamefaqs messageboard directly answered this for me, so
email me and I'll give ya credit!

THE MAN FOR THE SHIP!!!

one round, so use it when you think you're gonna get racked, it seems to
nullify magic cannons sometimes, as well

quest there
nullifies enemy magic for one turn at the cost of 10 SP
