This FAQ is for anyone who has a Wonderswan Color and Final Fantasy II for it,
and needs to know what the heck all the names of items, magic, characters, or
monsters are.  I assume you already know the game, so there are very few actual
strategies in this FAQ.  There are already a few at Gamefaqs already made, so
view one of those if you need direction on where to go.
The newest updates will always be at Gamefaqs.

In pretty much all of the lists, the order of what things are in will be:
Japanese Kana that appears onscreen/romanized version/my translation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

First up are the options at the title screen.

ニューゲーム-Nyu-ge-mu (New Game) Starts a new game.
ロードゲーム-Ro-doge-mu (Load Game) Continue off of a saved game (up to 8      
       different files can be saved).
さいかい-Saikai (Resume) Load a game that was saved using the
         ちゅうだん-Chuudan (Interrupt/Quick Save) option.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dafault names for the characters are:

フリオニール-Furioni-ru (Frionil)
マリア-Maria (Maria)
ガイ-Gai (Guy)
レオンハルト-Reonharuto (Leonhart)

When the naming prompt appears, use this chart to pick the name you want, if
you want to change them (or just use the English letters).

アイテム-Aitemu (Item Screen)

There's only 2 options in the item screen, they are:

つかう-Tsukau (Use)  せいとん-Seiton (Organize)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

まほう-Mahou (Magic Screen)

Use magic here.  Up to 16 different spells out of 40 (so plan carefully!) can
be held by each of the three main characters.  The option in the bottom-right
corner, with the trash can, ゴミばこ-Gomibaka (Garbage Can), is used to throw
away spells, but they are gone once thrown away.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

そうび-Soubi (Equip)

The Equip Screen looks like this:

そうび-Soubi (Equip) さいきょう-Saikyo (Optimum)
ぼうぎょさいきょ-Bougyosaikyo (Defense Optimum)

*-for the じゅくれんど-Jukurendo (Skill), the first number after each icon is
the skill level for that weapon, followed by the experience points for it (at
100 experience, the level goes up 1).
The order for each weapon type is:
                             Fist
                             Knife
                             Sword

                             Spear
                             Bow
                             Shield

The Y4 and Y2 buttons go to the previous or next party member, respectively.

If you hit the A button while in the Status screen, a 2nd status window
appears.  This is what Maria looks like on mine at the time of this, with
translations for it.

P       マリア-Maria
 i      HP 3789/3789
  c     MP  310/310

ちから-Chikara      ..42 せいしん-Seishin  ..99 ちせい-Chisei    ..66
たいりょく-Tairyoku ..85 すばやさ-Subayasa ..55 まりょく-Maryoku ..26

Chikara=Power (Physical attack damage)
Seishin=Soul (White Magic strength)
Chisei=Intelligence (Black Magic strength)
Tairyoku=Vitality (Gain more HP with higher Vitality)
Subayasa=Speed (Higher Speed=faster turn in battle)
Maryoku=Magic Power (Overall magic ability)

Underneath those values is the magic chart.

ケアル   16-99MP16    ホーリー 16- 0MP16
ブリザド  8- 3MP 8    レイズ    6-51MP 6
アスピル  9- 1MP 9    エスナ    8-34MP 8
ヘイスト  4-13MP 4    テレポ    1-46MP 1

Pretty much its just a quick and simple way to check how much exp a spell has,
which can be done in the magic menu anyway.  Here's what the numbers and all
mean, broken down.

ケアル-Kearu (Name)   16 (Spell Level)-99 (Experience of the spell; 100 for    
                   a level up) MP16 (MP cost of the spell, which is            
                always the same as the actual level of the spell)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

たいれつ-Tairetsu (Party Position)

Change the order of the party.  Push the A button twice on a character to
change their position from the front row to the back row, or vice versa.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ことば-Kotoba (Word)

List of the special words that must be said to certain people to proceed
through the game.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

コンフィグ-Konfigu (Config)

オートターゲット-O-tota-getto (Auto Target)  When Auto Target is ON, if two
characters attempt to attack the same monster, and one character kills it, the
other character will attack a different monster.  When Auto Target is OFF, the
second character will attack air, wasting their turn.

ミニマップ-Minimappu (Mini Map) Two options are available,
           ちきゅうぎ-Chikyuugi (Globe) and ちず-Chizu (Map).

Bボタンダッシュ-B botandasshu (B Button Dash) When this option is ON, you can
run in towns and dungeons while holding the B button.

カーソルいちきおく-Ka-soru ichikioku (Cursor Memory) You can set the battle
cursor in battle to either be set to しょき-Shoki (Initial) or きおく-Kioku
(Memory-set to the last command chosen).

サウンド-Saundo (Sound) Set the sound mode to either
ステレオ-Sutereo (Stereo) or モノラル-Monoraru (Mono).

Yボタンせってい-Y botansettai (Y button menu) From the field screen, if you hit
one of the Y buttons, they will automatically go to a certain menu.
You can choose between しょき-Shoki (Default) or カスタム-Kasutamu (Custom).

The defaults are:

Y1-そうび-Soubi (Equip)
Y2-アイテム-Aitemu (Item)
Y3-Same effect as hitting the START button.
Y4-まほう-Mahou (Magic)

If you dislike those, you can choose between any of the menu commands.


メッセージそくど-Messejisokudo (Message Speed) Set the speed of the text when
you talk to characters.
1 is the fastest, 4 is the slowest.


ウィンドウカラー-Uindoukara- (Window Color)  Set the color of the background.


せいとんせってい-Seitonsettei (Arrange setup)

Set up the order of items.  The default order is:

Recovery Items
Attack Items
Weapons

Special Items

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ちゅうだん-Chuudan (Interrupt/Quick Save)

Save the game right at the exact point you are at.  Be aware that it is not a
permanent save.  If this option is selected, you will be sent to the title
screen, where you can choose between the following options:
ニューゲーム-Nyu-ge-mu (New Game)
ロードゲーム-Ro-doge-mu (Load Game) or
さいかい-Saikai  (Resume)

If you turn the game off at the title screen, simply select the resume option
to continue your game right where you left off.  Once the resume option is
chosen, the quick save is gone.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

セーブ-Se-bu (Save)

Saves the game onto one of the eight different save files.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it for now, unless I get enough emails about anything else or any
additions/changes. Thank you for reading my FAQ and email with any questions
(akaiscarlet@hotmail.com) or if you just want to talk to someone about any of
the Final Fantasy games, or any other games I have written FAQ's for.
