Introduction:
-------------
You are a retired hero who has saved the country from monsters and
made the King and Queen see the errors of their ways; you are loved
throughout the land. One day, you see a shining light appear 
outside. You go outside and investigate and find in it a little 
girl. The girl's guardian patron speaks to you and tells you to 
raise the girl. Time passes and the girl turns 10. The game begins.
(1)

Princess Maker 2 is part of a series of Japanese simulation games 
in which you have to raise your daughter so that she does well with
her life. The game is made by GAINAX, a prominent Japanese company
who is known for its animated productions (including "Gunbuster", 
"Otaku no video" and the widely known "Neon Genesis Evangelion." (2)
It should be pointed out that GAINAX does put twisted things in their
games including the "transparent dress" present in this game as
well as their "Neon Genesis Evangelion Strip Mah-jong" where everyone
strips, including IKARI Gendou.

Methods:
--------
To determine the levels of the various statistics required to obtain 
each ending, the following procedure was followed. The MAPI = 1 cheat 
was used (that is, the line MAPI = 1 was added to the PM2.cnf file). 
Either a new game was started (by mashing on various buttons to get the
Olive Oyl character) or an old game was loaded. The Beta Shop was 
accessed by going to town, and each of the 74 endings was set. The 
statistics that the character then possessed was recorded, and these 
statistics are assumed to be the minimum level to get that particular 
ending. All information is based on the beta English version.

Results:
--------
The results are presented in the following form. The general class of 
ending precedes the occupations, and is in capital letters. The ending 
will then be numbered, according to how it is listed in the Beta Shop 
menu [which incidentally seems to correspond to the score level required 
for the most part]. On the line below the job listing, the various 
traits and required scores will be indented {yes, it's pretty obvious, 
but it was fun saying that}.

The following abbreviations will be used:
     Re  = Refinement
     M   = Morality
     I   = Intelligence
     F   = Faith
     Sen = Sensitivity
     Ch  = Charisma
     S   = Sin
     FR  = Fighting Reputation
     MR  = Magic Reputation
     SR  = Social Reputation
     HR  = Housework Reputation

Discussion:
-----------
It is interesting to note that only 9 attributes really affect one's 
choice of occupation. The other attributes help determine the final 
score and whether your daughter does well, or poorly in her profession. 
The key ones are the four types of reputation. Some of these are 
surprisingly high. Who would have thought that a Barwench would need 
values in the 200s?

It is only for the top level positions that the other characteristics 
become more important. The endings that deal with a possible job that 
your daughter can work in (such as Tutor, Hunter, etc.) do not have this 
requirement. It is interesting to see how close some of the endings are 
to each other in requirements. For instance, one point separates a 
Royal concubine to a Queen (go figure, mind you). A second example is 
that one point separates the Grand poobah with the Prime minister 
position.

Just because one's daughter has the required attributes to obtain a 
particular ending, it does not necessarily mean that your daughter will 
get that ending. The studies and work history play a key role in the 
determination. For instance, a Gravekeeper and Hunter have the same 
statistics. It is improbable that your daughter will become a Hunter if 
she has only worked as a Gravekeeper. A similar situation occurs in the 
Arts category. One well trained in Dancing will probably not become an 
Artist. It should be noted that this hypothesis has not been tested out 
yet. On this point, Shrum notes that a writer can be obtained as a 
career if a couple of classes are spent in Poetry. (2) Perhaps this 
guide may serve as illumination as to why this may be the case for 
this person.

One special note about using the MAPI = 1 cheat. If you use this, only 
the specific values required for an ending get a value if the ending is
set. All other values are set to 0. Thus, one hoping to get the best 
ending with a minimum of work cannot. Instead, you pretty much have to 
play through the game to raise your stats in order to get both a higher 
score and also to have your daughter marry someone (if that's your 
inclination of course).

Sadly, there is no way to skip past the ending credits or the opening
images (when a new game is started) so attempting to view all of the 
endings quickly is not possible.

In order to save typing time, listings of the various occupations were 
copied from another FAQ (1) into this one with corrections being made. 
Loopy is aware of this and has given permission. However, the 
various occupations were recorded by this author during note taking.
