This FAQ was created using NJSTAR, and to view it properly, I would suggest right clicking the page, then choose 'encoding' and choose Japanese Auto-Select. That is to view it on a PC with Windows, and since I don't have a Mac, I have no idea how to do that with them. So, sorry. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just got FF9 today, and have yet to see translations for the Menu Screen and Config screen, so here they are. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Menu Screen アイテム-Aitemu (Item) Use, organize items. アビリテイ-Abiriti (Ability) Set and view abilities. そうび-Soubi (Equip) Equip weapons, armor, helmets, bracelets, accessories. ステータス-Sute-tasu (Status) Check the strength, speed, etc. values. たいけい-Taikei (Formation) Change party order. カード-Ka-do (Card) View cards collected. コンフィグ-Konfigu (Config) Change various options. セーブ-Se-bu (Save) Save game at a save point. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- アイテム-Aitemu (Item) Options つかう-Tsukau (Use) Use items. せいとん-Seiton Arrange items.

I don't have Steiner and Garnet with my party right now, so I will add what I remember for them right now, and will add them fully when I get them again. Battle Commands ジタン-Jitan (Zidane) たたかう-Tatakau (Fight) Attack an enemy or companion with equipped weapon. ぬすむ-Nusumu (Steal) Attempt to take an item from an enemy. 秘技-Higi (Secret Technique) Use Zidane's Action Abilities. アイテム-Aitemu (Item) Use an item. When you choose to ぬすむ-Nusumu (Steal) in a battle, there are three possible outcomes, 1-Steal an item, 2-Can't steal (failed attempt), and 3-Nothing to Steal! Here is an example of each so you can know what is going on when you choose steal in a battle. For this example, the enemy is a レディーバグ-Rediibagu (Ladybug), a flying blue insect around クエナ-Kuena (Quena)'s marsh. 目薬をぬすんだ！-Megusuri wo nusunda! (Eyedrop was stolen!) The item you have stolen will always be the very first thing. Just take off the をぬすんだ！ part and that is the item you stole. ハイポーションをぬすんだ！-Haipooshon wo nusunda! (High Potion was stolen!) As you can see from both of these examples, the 'was stolen!' phrase is always the same when you successfully steal. ぬすめなかった！-Nusumenakatta! (Couldn't Steal!) This means you failed at stealing an item on that attempt, but the enemy IS still carrying an item. Try again. テントをぬすんだ！-Tento wo nusunda! (Tent was stolen!) フェニックスの羽をぬすんだ！-Fenikusu no Hane wo nusunda! (Phoenix Feather was stolen!) 何も持っていない！-Nanimoterutteinai! (Has nothing!) The enemy has nothing more to steal. Zidane's Trances-when Zid's Trance Meter fills up, his 秘技-Higi (Secret Technique) command changes to 専技-Sengi (Specialty Technique). For each command that you could use in the Higi box, you can use one of his specialty techniques. Here are the ones I have found at this time so far: フリーエナジー-Furiienajii (Free Energy-10 MP) タイダルフレイム-Taidarufureimu (Tidal Flame-12 MP) スクープアウト-Sukuupuauto (Scope Out-14 MP) A big red bolt of energy slams into an enemy. シフトブレイク-Shifutobureiku (Shift Break-16 MP) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ビビ-Vivi たたかう-Tatakau (Fight) 黒魔法-Kuromahou (Black Magic) Cast a Black Magic spell. ためる-Tameru (Store) Charge up to do more damage with his next spell. アイテム-Aitemu (Item) スタイナー-Sutainaa (Steiner) たたかう-Tatakau (Fight) 剣技-Kengi (Sword Technique) Use Steiner's Action Abilities. 魔法剣-Mahouken (Magic Sword) Vivi must be in the party to use this. Vivi will cast a spell on Steiner's sword, giving him an elemental attack. This does NOT take up Vivi's turn. アイテム-Aitemu (Item) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ガールネト-Gaaruneto (Garnet) たたかう-Tatakau (Fight) 召喚-Shoukan (Summon) Summon a monster for an attack. 白魔法-Shiromahou (White Magic) Cast a White Magic Spell. アイテム-Aitemu (Item) 専--------------------------------------------------------------------------- フライヤ-Furaiya (Freiya) たたかう-Tatakau (Fight) ジャンプ-Janpu (Jump) Jump off the screen and land on them for high in the air to do more damage than a regular attack. 竜技-Ryuugi (Dragon Technique) Use Freiya's Action Abilities. アイテム-Aitemu (Item) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- クイナ-Kuina (Quina) たたかう-Tatakau たべる-Taberu (Eat) Eat a weakened monster to learn a Blue Magic spell. 青魔法-Aomahou (Blue Magic) Use Quina's Blue Magic he has learned from eating an enemy. アイテム-Aitemu (Item) Thats it for now, unless I get enough emails about anything else or any additions/changes.
