The main character can move up and down and diagonally and by holding down the X button and directional buttons can run. Holding R1 down on area maps when it is indicated to reveal the locations the player can select and explore. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Main Menu This section is about the main menu that can be accessed in the game when there is no battle occurring using the Triangle button. Here is the original text of the main menu in the game and the translation of it follows. Below this are the descriptions of what the menu options do individually. These options are listed from top to bottom the same way in the game in the main menu. a. 相 談 - Talk b. 道具 - Items c. 裝備 - Equipment d. 法術 - Spells e. 詳細 - Details f. 神 - Gods g. 設定 - Options Here are the options and what each option does in the game. This is a basic overview. a. 相 談 - Talk This option allows the player to review what is happening and see the interaction between the characters. It is basically a discussion between the characters and their comments and what they are thinking during the situation. b. 道具 - Items This option allows the player to review what items the currently has. All items including unequiped equipment will be shown here. c. 裝備 - Equipment This option allows the characters to change their equipment such as weapons and armor and clothes gained by the characters. d. 法術 - Spells This option allows the player to view all the spells for each character available. Each character has a set of spells according to an element such as wind, fire, or earth spells. e. 詳細 - Details This option allows the player to see all the status of the characters. It shows the all the stats of the characters and information on weapons and clothes the characters are wearing. f. 神 - Gods This option allows the player to see all of the name of Gods that the player has collected so far and each status the name can boost and decrease. These names relate to upgrading your characters so try to find all of them. They can be used at the Japanese Buddhist Jizo Figure (地 藏) where the player can save and upgrade your characters status (see section). For example, one God will increase the number of hit points and strength of the character and another God would lower the character's wind attribute. g. 設定 - Options This choice allows the player to change the graphic settings and volume settings for the game. --------------------------------------------------------- 4. Jinzo Statue (地 藏) Jinzo Statues appear throughout the nearly all of the maps in the game. There are three options for the Jinzo statues. All Jinzo statues in the game have the same options. These options follow in the same order in the game. These options are listed from top to bottom exactly the way they appear in the game. #1 記? ?? - Save This is the save option. This allows the player to save the game on the memory card in the first slot or the second slot. #2 交 ? ?? - Level Up Status This is where the player can use the god names they have found to upgrade their characters. Each god affects the character's stats in a different way. #3 何???? - Return to Map This allows the player to return to the main map. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Leveling up stats Within the game during the end of the introduction sequence, the characters will gain the ability to find God names. The player can find God names by moving towards items on the map such as jars and mats, or trees and press X to find different God names that affect different sets of status. They can also be found on the map and in item chests as well. For example, a God name will increase only HP points and another God will increase MP points and decrease WIND attribute points. If a character's WIND, FIRE, EARTH, and WATER attributes are increased to certain point, that character unlocks new attacks in that attribute. For example if the main character's WIND is boosted, he will learn Thunder attacks that his friends can use. One way to help find God names is to use the rumble feature in a PS one controller. When a God name is nearby on a map, the controller will vibrate once per area. When you leave the map, you can return to the map and the controller will vibrate if you didn't collect the God name earlier. Each God name will have a different stat that it will boost or decrease a stat or stats. The leveling system uses (?) points and the only way to gain these points is to have all on-screen characters use their single targeted special attack. When a character is in the transformed form use the colored and highlighted attack to contribute to gaining (?) points. Then go to the Japanese Buddhist Jizo Figure (地 藏) and select the second option and use the God names to level up the various stats of the characters. The names of the Gods cannot gain levels and boost other stats. One God has a different effect or a combination of effects on than another God. ------------------------------------------------------------ 6. Battle Menu This is the battle menu when the characters trigger a battle on the world map. When the character triggers a battle, the screen turns a color then the characters are in battle with monsters. These options are in order of appearance from top to bottom as they appear in the game. a. 攻? - Attack b. 防禦 - Defense c. 法術 - Spells d. 神 降 - "God Descent"?? e. 轉身 - Transform f. 道具 - Items g. 逃走 - Run Away These are the options and what option can do during a turn in a battle. a. 攻? - Attack The command allows the character to do either a special attack or normal attack. A special attack allows the character to perform a special elemental attack that uses up MP. b. 防禦 - Defense The command allows the character to guard during this turn. c. 法術 - Spells The command allows access to the special elemental spells each character has in their arsenal. d. 神 降 - God Descent ?? What this option does is unknown at this time. This section will be addressed in future versions of this FAQ. It seems to allow the summoning of gods to do something during the battle. It is inaccessible for the first section of the game. e. 轉身 - Transform The command allows the character to transform into their Oni forms. Not all characters are able to transform at the beginning. Transforming the character will use up a certain meter called [Oni Hearts](鬼 心) that cannot be replenished unless there is an Oni recovery shrine on the world map. During the same turn, you can transform back and forth, but it depletes [Oni Hearts](鬼 心) more during the turn. When this meter is depleted, the character will go into berserk mode and this will make the character that transforms uncontrollable. f. 道具 - Items The command allows the use of items during a battle phase. There are magic points recovery items and hit points recovery items, but there are no [Oni Hearts](鬼 心) recovery points items. g. 逃走 - Run Away The command allows all members to escape battle. ------------------------------------------------------ 7. Regaining Health and Spirit Chapter 1 This is the default main character house name. (天 地 丸 ? 家 ) The main character's house is the place to regain health and spirit, yet the player cannot recover [Oni Hearts] (鬼 心) for transforming into an Oni. The main character's house is the upper left house in the village. These options are from Chapter 1. Mom and Dad are asking the main character would the main character rest for the day or continue the play with his friends. Mom offers the main character two choices. These choices are exactly how the choices are laid out in the game. #1 ?? - Continue without regaining health and spirit. This option will continue the game without replenishing health and magic. #2 - Choose this option to rest and regain health and spirit. This option ends the day the characters are in and they continue their adventure the next day and begin again. Chapter 2 In the Mirror World These options are at the beginning of the dungeon that can be accessed by pressing x at the glowing orb that calls itself the Mirror God. #1 回複 ?? - Recover health and spirit. This option will fully replenish health and magic. #2 記? ?? - Save game. This option will save the game. #3 交? ?? - Level-up using God names. The choice is worded differently from the Jinzo Statue menu. #4 今 ????- Return to map. This option will return the characters to the current map.
