Author Notes | \___/____________________________________________________________________/ Welcome to Final Fantasy Dimensions, Square-EnixÂfs latest successful attempt to separate me from my money. This guide is based on the iOS version of the game. Presumably the Android version is identical, but IÂfm not going to purchase another tablet to find out. Please do not e-mail any questions after the parts of the walkthrough that are complete. I do not know the answers, and I will probably end up pissed at you when you spoil ME by accident. For long time Final Fantasy fans who adored FFIV, FFV, and FFVI, your prayers for a cute, sprite-based RPG have been answered. Get an iPad or some Android tablet and buy this. You will not be disappointed. In this guide, I try very hard to avoid story-based spoilers whenever possible. In future versions of this guide, I will do my best to let you know if youÂfre about to hit a point of no return (such that you might permanently be unable to answer certain treasure chests). I will mention freely when characters leave your party for more than about 10 minutes of playtime. I use all default names by SE. I respect their ability to continue to name their main character after something seen in the sky. As the game itself has a very thorough Help section on its main page, and a fairly thorough in-game tutorial for using controls, I will not duplicate it here. Even though it has some interesting translation foibles, itÂfs still readable. If you have EVER played one of the first nine FF games, and in particular FFV, you can dive headfirst into this game without reading the Help section. The game in the Prologue will give you direction on any control adjustments you need for a touch screen. ______________________________________________________________ffd_walk__ / \ ffd_prol \ | | 2A. Walkthrough - Prologue | \___/____________________________________________________________________/ So, welcome to FFD. You have so far invested no dollars in this game! Square-Enix, in return, gives you slightly more content than that nothing, but only slightly! The prologue should take you no more than an hour, and at most two hours if youÂfre exceptionally anal about documenting everything as you play along. However, IÂfve already spared you that, so you can have fun running around like a loon leveling up instead for Chapter 1 or something! Prologue Walkthrough: I: Journey to the Checkpoint -------------------------------- ffd_pro1 II: Exploring Lux -------------------------------------------- ffd_pro2 III: Storming the Castle -------------------------------------- ffd_pro3 IV: The Northern Cave ---------------------------------------- ffd_pro4 V: The Temple ----------------------------------------------- ffd_pro5 ============================================================================ I: Journey to the Checkpoint -------------------------------------- ffd_pro1 ============================================================================ Tap your screen through the first few cutscenes (CSÂfs) (it does not auto-advance), admire the castle, then watch your screen shake from the airship! The first character will show up on your screen with a short introduction. Name him. ****************************** A strong, hot-headed youth from the small kingdom of Lux. Dreams of riding an airship. - Sol ****************************** Wait a few moments, and then youÂfll find yourself in a fight with some mysterious character. Tap the ÂgAttackÂh command on the right side of your screen, then tap the Âg???Âh to attack this unknown assailant! You could also tap on the enemy twice. Doing this two or three times will end the fight and send you into a cut scene, where you will be introduced to and name two more allies. ******************************** A kind-hearted young lad. Childhood pal of Sol, the two have a friendly rivalry. - Glaive ******************************** *************************** A cheerful young woman. Has a loving older brother. Treats Sol like a kid. - Diana *************************** More CSÂfs. You will then get basic directions on how to move your character and how to talk to NPCs (non-playable characters), those fun folks that move around town. After you close this screen, youÂfll be on the overworld map with your three characters. The Menu button will be in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Tap it, then when in the menu, tap the ÂgsaveÂh option (lower right) and save your game. You could head north to town and whatnot, but for now, letÂfs head south and around. In the upper right corner of your screen beneath the Menu button, youÂfll see a minimap. Head to the southern yellow dot around the mountains (the northern yellow dot is the kingdom of Lux). Head north and youÂfll enter a CS to talk with a guard. A young gentleman will appear - DianaÂfs older brother. Name him. ******************************** A swordsman and SolÂfs teacher. Lost his parents at a young age. Brother of Diana. - Aigis. ******************************** Watch the rest of the CS, then head back north to Lux. ============================================================================ II: Exploring Lux ------------------------------------------------- ffd_pro2 ============================================================================ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lux ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inn - 10 gil Aigis will leave your party shortly after you enter Lux. Go into the southeasternmost house, which Diana ran inside of in anger. Talk to her, then head outside and talk to Glaive. Head outside of town and north to the castle. The treasures you can find in Lux are as follows: Phoenix Down - bookshelf in SolÂfs house (NWernmost house) Leather Hat - barrel in SolÂfs house Tent - bottom bookshelf in GlaiveÂfs house (right half) 100 gil - middle house (pot) Eye Drops - barrel by pond Potion - barrel in SE corner of town Silk Robe - SE house (DianaÂfs), on shelf, right half MaidenÂfs Kiss - pot in DianaÂfs house. Side note - one of the NPCs will mention a Chocobo Forest north of town. You can go there later to find both yellow and white chocobos. Talking to a white Chocobo will restore your magic points to full, and talking to a yellow chocobo will allow you to ride around on the world map without fear of engaging a monster, and faster to boot! ============================================================================ III: Storming the Castle ------------------------------------------ ffd_pro3 ============================================================================ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Castle Lux ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Try to get through the gates (the NPCs, familiarly named, will block you), then head south as if youÂfre going back outside for a short CS. Glaive will take you to a secret hidden passage behind a statue. Go down the stairs. The aforementioned guard NPCs will remain BLISSFULLY oblivious that you got around them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Below Castle Lux ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ B1F (A) - Leather Shield 1 floor below - basic maze. Take the right passage to find a Leather Shield. B2F - Tent, Broadsword, Potion Follow the path (either route after the first split) to a Tent. Continue heading north, then before jogging up the stairs, head left to find two chests containing a Broadsword and a Potion. B1F (B) - Leather Helm, 100 gil, Potion To your right are three chests behind a locked door. Anyone want to lay bets that youÂfll have to do something for the king before you get to see whatÂfs inside? Yeah, thatÂfs my bet one hour into this mess. Head left and go upstairs...wait, no! Go left, pull the chain by facing it and tapping the screen, then head back to the gate, and then go upstairs into Castle Lux. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Castle Lux ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Treasure: Antidote, Phoenix Down, Eye Drops, 200 gil, Potion, Leather Shoes. Walk between the barrels to find a hidden passage. Weave your way south into the main entry. If you try to leave, Glaive will stop you prematurely. Go upstairs for a CS. Aigis will rejoin your party. Your task now is to head north to the creatively named Northern Cave. YouÂfre also now free to raid the castle of any treasure it possesses. Oh, and talk to NPCs. Head downstairs twice from the throne room and youÂfll see routes to the rest of the area. Go northwest through a door to find a group of mages. The Jar in this room has an Antidote. The northeast room from here leads you to the Oracles room, but there was no treasure in there that I could find. The towers also have treasure, as listed below: Mages study room (NW room) - first jar has an Antidote 2nd story of east tower - jar has a Phoenix Down. 2nd story of west tower - two chests, Eye Drops and 200 gil 1st story of west tower - Potion in SE jars, Leather Shoes in SW Jars (interiormost - go around the leftmost jar and south to get to it) ============================================================================ IV: The Northern Cave --------------------------------------------- ffd_pro4 ============================================================================ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Northern Cave ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1F(a) - Sacred Candle, Cotton Cap, MaidenÂfs Kiss 2F - Dagger, Leather Shoes, Leather Armor 1F(c) - Tent, Phoenix Down 1F(a) - From the entrance, head right to find a Cotton Cap. Turn around and head north to a chest that contains a Sacred Candle, then go Go down the stairs, head east to find a MaidenÂfs Kiss. Go northeast to the stairs. 2F - Again, a split path at the entry. Head west and north first to get to a dead end Treasure Chest with a Dagger inside. Heading east from the entry, go down a stairwell and east to find a pair of Leather Shoes. Go up the stairs immediately due west, and continue up the path nw to find Leather Armor. Turn back around, go up the stairwell, head northeast, and double back down. 1F(b) - Save point! 1F(c) - Tent Upon exiting here youÂfll see a man in a hat that is suspiciously pimp and strangely not red. Approach him, and engage in a fight versus a Manatoise. Oh, oh, are we going to learn about the virtues of holding back your attacks like almost every other first boss in Final Fantasy game series history?! No, you arenÂft. But you shouldnÂft feel bad for thinking so. The trick to this first fight is to pelt the Manatoise with blizzard spells from Aigis and the mysterious Red Mage whose garb looks tan instead of red. Do NOT attack it. If Sol counters its physical attacks, youÂfre okay, but if you directly attack the Manatoise, itÂfll whallop you back for a ton of damage. Have Glaive and Sol defend - Diana should cast cure spells as necessary. It should only take 3 bursts of blizzard from Aigis and 3 casts of Blizzaga from the mystery mage to end this. No gil, 180 xp for a party of five. Elgo will join you after the fight, officially. You donÂft get to name him. Go back and save/heal up using your tent, and then advance. The first chest you see on the path is a Tent. Go straight ahead to find a Phoenix down from there at the fork in the road, and then due east is a moogle selling various items. The items for sale are exactly the same as those for sale back in Lux. Upon exiting the cave, head east and loop north towards the Temple. ============================================================================ V: The Temple ----------------------------------------------------- ffd_pro5 ============================================================================ Enter the temple and head straight ahead through the first room. In the second room, youÂfll see two doors to your left (well, one door and a passage south), two to your right (see previous), and a staircase leading upwards. Each of the rooms contains one treasure chest, as follows: 1Fb - NW chest - Antidote 1Fb - SW chest - Phoenix Down 1Fb - NE chest - Bronze Hauberk 1Fb - SE chest - Feathered Cap Go upstairs to the second floor. There are four offshoot rooms here - one directly south of the stairwell. You can go either left or right to reach here from the staircase as your heart moves you. One room lies left, and one right, and one south of the central room. 2F - Central Room - Bronze Armor 2F - West Room - NO CHEST 2F - East Room - Bronze Helm 2F - South Room - 600 gil Go south from the south room to reach the stairwell to the third floor. On the third floor, you will have two offshoot rooms, one immediately north of the stairwell, and one up the northwest corridor preceded by a chest. The northeast corridor leads to the fourth floor. 3F - Central Room - Potion 3F - NW Room - Tent 3F - Main, chest in NW area - Pointy Hat Fourth floor - you start at the SE side of the floor, with three passages due north of you. The central passage leads to the fifth floor, with the offshoots as usual bearing chests of fun loot. 4F - West Room - Metal Claw 4F - East Room - Rod As you get to the fifth floor, you find a save spot! Use that tent, because by now your characters should be close to being out of MP. YouÂfll also get a prompt that this is the last save point of the prologue, and a hearty recommendation to SAVE YOUR GAME. So save it. You must purchase Chapter 1 to continue playing after the prologue. Go north through the door to the Crystal Chamber, where your ears will be assaulted with the Final Fantasy Prelude. Walk north and touch it, then wait through a CS to see the last Prologue boss, the Watchbeast. Sadly, this is a story battle. You can cast Libra on it to see that itÂfs weak to fire, but itÂfll eventually do some weird Soul Despair stupid move to get you down to single digit HP to ÂgdefeatÂh your party. Cutscenes will ensue. Enjoy.

Experience Requirements for Leveling Up | \___/____________________________________________________________________/ This chart lists the TOTAL experience points that your character needs to have to reach that particular level. For example, to reach level 6, you need to have gained a total of 389 experience points (xp) on that character. Experience is divided evenly amongst your active living party members after winning a battle. (at least - IÂfve not had greater than five in the Prologue) If a given enemy has 800 xp and you have four active, living party members, each member will get 200 xp at the end of the fight. This chart will be expanded for later versions of this guide. --------- Level XP --------- 1 - 0 2 - 45 3 - 97 4 - 173 5 - 261 6 - 389 7 - 587 8 - 821 9 - 1113 10 - 1555 11 - 2087 12 - 2730 ________________________________________________________________________ / \ ffd_items \ | | 5.
