-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Guide is meant as a quick and easy method to recruit all 108 Stars
without having to potentially spoil oneself in a guide.  I saw that all the
current recruitment faqs only list the order on the tablets and not the order
found in game.  I have tried to put it in order as the earliest time to get
each character.  If you find any errors please e-mail me at the address
mentioned above and they will be fixed as soon as possible.  I also threw in
the locations of a few extra things just to help people avoid having to be
tied down by an actual full guide.

Feel free to contact me in regards to anything at all, I will be more than
happy to address anything.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Terms of Service
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By going past this point you agree to not reproduce this guide in anyway or
form without first contacting me to ask for permission.  Thanks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A) Character Recruitment.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I split up the recruitment into two sections, Story recruiting and regular
searching for recruits.  Under the story section I included all the characters
that join automatically and characters which are on your path during the story
that don't require much going out of the way.  Then after a story event that
brings new opportunities it switches to a section where you just go to the
places the guide says to go to get those characters.  Some characters can be
recruited in a slightly different order than listed below but generally I think
I have it mostly the best way to go.  If you feel differently E-mail me and I
will update it.
