## ---Author's Note--- ##
#########################
-Me and the FAQ-
Hi! Actually this is my first walkthrough but I really want this to look
good. The reason why I chose to make a walkthrough on Threads of Fate mainly
is that because there are no walkthroughs that are specifically written for
the North American Version as of August 7, 2000. Maybe, I also created this
because Threads of Fate is a relatively short game (about 24 hours of game
play).
I also included paragraphs in almost all or all parts of the game that
talks about the story of the game (enclosed by these - *story*). They are
SPOILERS so I suggest that you should not read them unless 1) You have
finished the game or that section already or 2) You did not understand the
story at that part.
-Others and the FAQ-
Everyone is welcome to read and keep this document. This can also be sent
or given to anyone without notice to me as long as it is NOT
1) used for commercial or profitable reasons
2) given for free in order to sell a product
3) altered or ripped off
and that be sure that the author and especially all those who contributed
in this document are credited (I really took time doing this and I deserve it
[I think {sigh!}] and the ones that contributed too!)
-Help me and the FAQ-
I am not perfect. I make mistakes somewhere here and somewhere there. I
also miss a lot of things, specially hard to get items or side-quests that 1)
requires you to go back to a dungeon you already finished or 2) requires you
to talk to a person or to several persons in order to trigger the quest.
Please correct me from my mistakes. Also, if you want to add/contribute
something that I missed or miscellaneous tips, just E-Mail me and I will
credit you. Spelling and grammar corrections will also be appreciated. I am
also poor (sometimes) in understanding the plot or story of a game so if I am
mistaken in writing about a certain story line, drop me a mail. [My E-Mail
address is written somewhere at the beginning of this document but if you do
not want to scroll back up ... (why?) it is ]
If there are something you want to add such as the enemies stats, or game
secrets or anything, please give it to me. I will credit anyone who
contributes to this thing.
Hey, don't forget to tell me where you read this document if you are going
to e-mail me.
-Web Sites and the FAQ-
If you want this document on your site just E-Mail me. I am a very
considerate person and will most likely allow you to post it. But certain
guidelines are to be followed though [I sound like a selfish person if I add
things like this]
1) The -Others and the FAQ- part of this note guidelines are followed
2) Your E-Mail address or your site welcomes the FAQ/Walkthrough's updates
3) You place the update as soon as possible
If you E-Mail me, make sure it contain these things
1) Your site (very important)
2) You are asking me permission or something (very important, what if it
was an advertisement or something).
3) You place the E-Mail address where I am supposed to reply and where I
am supposed to send updates.
-Me, you and the FAQ-
You can also send me questions via E-Mail or ICQ me if I am available.

The version numbers are jumpy because I wanted my version 0.00 - 1.00 to
be somewhat like percentages of my progress where in .01 is 1% completion.
When I mean a 100% completion, it means that all the necessary stuff is there
but because there is still a tendency of me missing something. After that, I
will increase the version number by .1 if I added certain things and by .01
if I corrected something else.
###########################################
## ---Things to be done in the future--- ##
###########################################
I believe that this FAQ / Walkthrough is mostly complete. No more updates
for me except when I decided to fix some very minor errors when I read this
document or something new came out about this game [perhaps a proven rumor or
something].
Also, note that I changed my e-mail address so if you sent something there,
sent it again at my new e-mail address.
###########################
## ---Asking for Help--- ##
###########################
If you want help, just e-mail me about it. I also know a lot of RPGs so
you can probably ask me anything about many games. But this would take at
least a few hours to get a reply. But if you are unlucky, meaning you sent
the e-mail when I am in school or sleeping, you'll get your reply at a later
time.
I suggest you use the GameFAQs message board.
Just sign up and post on the game board of the game you want help on.

## ---Introduction --- ## - I am going to fix this, it sounds stupid
#########################
Threads of Fate is an action-RPG which is developed and released by Square.
It is like Brave Fencer Musashi or Alundra 2 in terms of gameplay.
Threads of Fate is 3D (just like Brave Fencer Musashi or Alundra 2) and has
two playable characters namely Rue and Mint. Their story, just like that of
Star Ocean 2 are somewhat alike, they aim for the same things, they have the
same goal but different intentions.
I considered Threads of Fate a fun game to play mainly because of Mint's
dialogues but also that the game is really enjoyable.

At the press start screen, you can press L1 or R1 to see some kind of intro
