INTRODUCTION ====================================================================== This game is about war in a world where mythology and technology are one. A young man must find his destiny to lead the rebellion against the Junaris Kingdom and to save the people of his world from an eternity of oppression. He and his friends are unwillingly drawn into a holy war being waged by a bloodthirsty general and his army of darkness. This is my first faq. If you have comment, correction, suggestion send me e-mail at . I have got all the missions (56 missions) and all the ATACs (32 ATACs). I have got all the endings : good Kingdom ending, Ruin ending, Sadira and Cecilia Empire endings, bad Kingdom ending. You can see this FAQ too at : - http://www.gameadvice.com - http://www.gamesdomain.co.uk - http://www.rpgclassics.com - http://www.cheatcc.com - http://www.rpgamer.com - http://www.absolute-playstation.com I don't guarantee it's the newer version. Check the newer version at GAMEFAQS. ====================================================================== 3. GENERAL HINT ====================================================================== 1. Try to kill enemies as much as possible. Because you can get EXP and MONEY from killing enemies. You will need a lot of money to buy weapons, stones, and amulets. 2. I suggest you increase BAS, POW, and DEX when level up. To get a new stronger attack, you must have high BAS, POW, and DEX. 3. Always attack enemies from behind if you can. Because the attack will do more damage, and enemy can not counter, attack, defend your attack. 4. Make your character and your allies attack one enemy at a time. 5. Try to make FP enemy reach 100. If this happens, make all your characters attack him because the enemy will be dizzy and can not do anything. Your attack will hit with a 100% success rate. 6. Be careful when your FP almost reach 100. Try to run away from enemies and don't do anything that will make your FP reach 100. 7. Always buy weapons first then amulets or stones. 8. Try to make your friends morale high. If you interview them, you can see the morale between you and your friends. The rate of morale from the highest to the lowest are red -> pink -> orange -> yellow -> green -> light blue -> dark blue. Try to make your friends staying alive in battle, because if not the rate of morale of your friends that die will be decrease. If before the colour is red, it will turn to pink. If before the colour is pink, it will turn to orange. And so on. ====================================================================== 4. WALKTHROUGH ====================================================================== Explanation of "CHOICES TO MAKE" : You will have to choose one of the answers.

After Duyere killed, kill his bodyguards then kill the Imperials. CHOICES TO MAKE : 1. We must attend to Kamorge! -> Kingdom/Ruin branch 2.

But If you lose, you will go to Chapter 7.A. If you want to win this battle, I suggest you only increase Bastion's AGL from the beginning (in this battle, my AGL is 30).

A : If you get to level 8 or higher in Mission 3: Tragic Farewell, you
    get the choice of checking on your dad or chasing Faulkner. Choose
    the first to keep on the Kingdom branch and choose the second to
    start the Empire branch. Later in the Kingdom branch you get a
    chance to start the Ruin branch but to get that chance you have to
    have gotten the good Kingdom ending. To choose Ruin Branch, After
    Ganlon's Betrayal/Radcot's Attack (Chapter 8) choose to conquer the
    continent.

Q : How do I get good/bad Kingdom endings?

A : If you want to get good ending, try to make the morale between you
    and your friends high. If the morale between you and your friends
    low, you will get bad ending.

    Sadira. If you want to get Sadira ending, have Sadira like you more
    than Cecilia.

Q : What is dormant move? And how do I get it?

A : Dormant move is an ATAC special skill. Every ATAC has its own
    dormant move. You can get dormant move if you increase BAS, POW,
    AGL, DEX. Be patient and you can get a lot of dormant move. Dormant
    move is very useful like Second Attack (you can attack twice),
    Assassinate (increase attack from behind), etc. You can also get 
    dormant move if you equip amulet.

Q : How to get Milea in my party when I play Kingdom branch?

A : After Duvern gets captured by Faulkner in the Kingdom branch (both
    endings), you can get Milea by not going higher than level 18 when
    you meet Alden.

Q : I have tried to win this mission many times, but I still can't win
    because there are a lot of enemies and they are very strong. What
    is the best strategy to win this battle?

A : Make a barricade with 4 of your strongest character in the front
    and put the rest in the back. I suggest your party in the back can
    attack from long range and can attack twice, especially if they
    have Turbulence because all enemies will defend if you attack with
    Turbulence (if you can attack twice and they defend, their FP will
    increase 60 points), you will easy to make your enemies dizzy.

Q : I always got bad kingdom ending. Tell me how to increase the
    morale.

A : Save first before interview your friends. Find who's the best to be
    interviewed. And the most important, keep all your friends alive in
    battle. If someone dies, his/her morale will be decrease.

Q : How to get Nana in my party when I played Kingdom branch?

A : Choose to see Radcot in Chapter 6 : Radcot's Trap. Then lose the
    battle and you will meet Nana for the first time. After Radcot
    assassinated (Chapter 9), Nana will come and ask to join you. Allow 
    her and you have her.
