++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 0-2.A. STARTING A NEW GAME +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
~ It is not possible to skip any of the introduction.
+ RECOMMEND: The first time you SAVE the game, make TWO copies:
- One to play, the other just in case you need to start over.
AND...
- So you don't have to repeat the beginning introduction (unless you want to).
~ The chained book is the ESCALARIO.
+ If its secrets can be unlocked:
- One promise is that infinite knowledge can be obtained.
- Another is that the owner is granted every wish.
~ The opening scene shows a silver-haired man approaching a column of darkness and inside the column is a glowing gem.
+ The man comes too close and he is sucked into the column.
+ Later, you see him standing on the sawn-off base of a large tree.
~ You see the main character, IRIS, who is descended from a family of ALCHEMISTS.
+ She is a SYNTHESIST, that is, she can make or synthesize: items, weapons,
accessories, etc., by using a cauldron in her workshop.
+ However, she must find recipes and ingredients first.
- Sometimes she can create a new recipe by changing the ingredients being
synthesized.
- Anytime you see an icon of IRIS's face, go up to it as she'll get another
recipe there.
- The introduction shows brief glimpses of some of ALTERWORLDS.
+ IRIS and her sidekick, EDGE, travel to a number of these alterworlds.
+ These are 'worlds' that are approached through a gate of glowing pink mist.
- Once inside the alterworld, there is a time limit to how long IRIS's party
can stay there.
- It is possible to extend the time by picking up a red HOURGLASS (if you find
one)
+ They are RAIDERS and take up QUESTS to gain QUEST POINTS, money and other
items.
- The Quests take the party to one or other of the Alterworlds.
* As certain Quests are completed, Quest Points increase their Raider RANK.
- When enough Quest Points are gained, they are sent on a MISSION.
* Completing the mission changes the chapter and introduces a new Alterworld.
~ During the introduction, you also see a couple of characters who wear red.
- One of them will join IRIS's party, the other becomes a sworn enemy.
___________________________________________________________________________________
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 0-2.B. USE OF BUTTONS, ETC. +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
~ So when I got to the Guild House, I got the prizes anyway.

+ 1-1.B. ZEY MERUZA STORES +

quests in the game).

+ Bar at top left of screen:
- Blue "Cards".
- Certain cards have icons of our characters AND of the Monsters.
- The sequence (from right to loft) shows the ORDER that each person/monster
will fight.
* As characters get stronger or develop special skills, you can use the
information on the bar to make your fight more effective.
* Answering questions, such as: "Which monster do I attack first? The
strongest OR the next to attack?"
+ On the right is a different Bar which shows the amount of Mana Power (MP, to a
max of 9) is available for use of special skills.
- The visible part of the bar must be filled before there is an increase of MP.
- Each regular attack adds 5 points to the bar.
* Mana Attacks use 1 OR MORE MP (one MP is a full 10-points).
* If the 10-point bar isn't full, the MP will still take as many points as
needed, taking them from the previous bar(s).
* When the MP guage is zero, MP cannot be used.
+ Bottom left a brown bar for the BURST.
- When filled during the fight a BURST CHAIN starts.
- During a BURST CHAIN, the Mana Power bar is filled (no matter how much was
there before).
* TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT !!!!
+ Above the head of one of our characters is the Battle Menus Choices.
- These include:
* Attack (a red weapon)
> an ordinary hit (type and number of hits depends on the weapon).
* Skill (a blue circle).
> Allows person to use a mana skill if MP is available.
* Guard (a shield)
> Guards against attack (useful when HP is low and no helaing items.
* Flee (grey boot against a blue background).
* Item (shows an item bag)
> Use direction keypad to move between types of items
= Healing items.
= Attack Items.
= Support items (medicines with particular effects).
+ Below right are boxes showing the current information for each party member.
- The colored line (gauge) shows how much HP is still available.
- Blue when filled.
- Green when some HP is gone.
- Yellow guage = HP too low.
* When the person wilts and says something like "Doesn't look good!"
> HP is dangerously low.
> USE A HEALING ITEM.
= Character can use an item for themselves or for another member
of the party.
= If used for themselves, character will still be able to fight
after using item.
