UPDATE HISTORY ========================================================================== -1/14/2004 Version: 1.00 Initial release. Walkthrough is complete for the most part. To see what is still missing, check the appropriate section. ========================================================================== 2. NOTES ========================================================================== X Japan Virtual Shock 001 puts you in the role of a cameraman set to cover the X Japan concert that took place on December 31 1994 at the Tokyo Dome. It uses an interface similar to that of D. This walkthrough will provide you with instructions on completeing the game. Some sections may not be the fastest path, but you end up in the same place in the end. This guide isn't perfect by any stretch of the term, but it will help you to complete the game. There are some things you should know about me before continuing. While I enjoy what I have heard of the band's music, I am by no means a fan. Apart from the info I gathered in-game, I know nothing about the band. So, if I happen to make any mistakes, I am sorry. Just let me know and I'll be sure to rectify them. Also, I can neither speak nor read Japanese. ========================================================================== 3. WHAT'S MISSING? ========================================================================== At the very least I am missing one item, the backstage pass. I have no idea how to get this item, if it is even possible. Can anyone shed some light one it? Also, if there is any way to enter the Massage Room or the Dancer's Rooms I have no idea how. Apart from those issues, it is complete. Should I discover any info I will update accordingly. ========================================================================== 4. WALKTHROUGH ========================================================================== From the begining, turning left will take you to the Production Room, behind you is the Rehersal Hall and to your right is the Operating Main Office. For now, ignore the other two areas and enter the Operating Main Office. Grab the film. Leave the room. Head straight, there will be a hallway to your right. Go down this hallway and you will come to an elevator. When you try to board the elevator you will learn that you need an All Area Pass. Go back the way you came and continue to the mess hall. You can check out the set list by looking left if you want. Proceed to a door marked EG. Do not enter. Turn right and pick up the zoom lens, then turn left and talk to the guy. Turn around and leave the mess hall. Go back to that hallway we just came from(directly across from the press room.) Head into the Tokyo Patrol Staff Room(first door on your left). You will be told to ask the production staff for an All Area Pass. Leave the hallway the way you entered and take a left. Head into the Production Room. It'll be on your right. You will get an All Area pass. Now go back to the hallway across from the Press Room. Return to the elevator now that you have an All Area Pass. Show the elevator operator your pass and he will allow you to enter. Head to floor two. Both floors three and four are blocked off now. FLOOR 2 Nothing of interest to your right, so head left. The first door you come to is PATA's Room. Inside you can view a guitar, costumes and a small monitor. The next room you come to is YOSHIKI's Room. You can attempt to enter, but a women will yell at you and inform you that a meeting is taking place. Continue down the hall to the MASSAGE Room. Yeah, I know you want to go in, but no dice. Keep going and you'll reach TOSHI's Room. Inside you can check out his guitar, some makeup and another monitor. To the right of the monitor is a phone, avoid it for now. Keep going straight through the hallway ignoring the path to your left and the revolving doors to your right. You will come upon HEATH's Room. Shame you can't go in. Continue on to the CATERING Room. Nice advertisement. When you finish looking at the snacks continue on your path. To your left will be the restroom. To your right is HIDE's Room. Take the hint and leave. Return to TOSHI's Room and answer that phone I told you to avoid. You will learn that there is a photo shoot oppurtunity with Toshi from the stands. Head back to the elevator and try the Fourth Floor. FLOOR 4 Here is your first photo shoot. The camera follows Toshi and you can snap his picture with the R button. You have 20 shots. Be careful though as this film has to last you for four photo shoots. After the photo shoot head back to floor two. FLOOR 2 Check Pata's Room. You discover you no longer have access. Continue down the hallway until you come to the open area with the revoloving doors and small hallway to your left. Check the path to the left(the one I told you to ignore before) to spot a worker. He will ask you to take the bottled water to Heath's room, do so. Now. Hmm, apparently Heath isn't in his room, where could he be? Head to the elevator. First floor please! FLOOR 1 Your next destination is the rehersal hall. You may recall a guy guarding the entrance right behind where you start the game, that is the Reharsal Hall. After convincing the guy at the door that you have water for "Mr. Heath," he will give you access. Time for photo shoot number two, with none other than Heath. You know the drill, snap shots with the R Button. After the photo shoot, turn around and talk to the guard again. This time he will let you in with no objections. What is this guy, bipolar? Here comes photo shoot number three, this time with Pata. When you finish, get to the elevator. Next stop, second floor. FLOOR 2 Go all the way to the end of the hallway until you reach Hide's Room. Talk to the guy and then head to the Catering Room. You will be greeted by a server and given the choose between Sake, Bourbon and Wine. Go for the Sake and bring it to Hide. You will be rewarded with a photo session. After that, go over to Yoshiki's room. You will get a warmer reception this time, but the meeting is still going on, so head to the elevator and go down to the first floor yet again. FLOOR 1 Back to the Rehersal Hall. Mr. Bipolar doesn't buy that you're a Cameraman. He needs to see an arm band. Well, we will have to get one. Head to the press room. Once inside turn right to speak with Luke. He will commend you on your pictures and give you more film. Once restocked with film, return to the elevator. Floor three. FLOOR 3 Time for Rusty Nail. Now is you chance to do a little video editing. You can choose the clip with the Dpad and add an XJapan overlay with the, appropriately enough, X button. As far as I can tell, this is all you can do, enjoy the song and then head to floor two. FLOOR 2 Enter Yoshiki's room. You are greeted with some lovely piano playing and a rose lying atop a piano. Get ready for Photo Shoot number four, which apparently takes place in your dreams. You can now further explore Hide's and Heath's rooms, so traverse the hall if you'd like. In Hide's room you can check out his costumes to the right and a small monitor to the left. Finally, head straight to see his guitar. I wonder what that arrow points to? Press right and find out. Hmm, no go. Let's see what we can find in Heath's Room. Check out his shoes to the left, costumes to the right and a small monitor straight ahead. Nothing here either. Oh well, off to the elevator. Back to the first floor. FLOOR 1 Time to grab you that armband to shut Mr. Bipolar up. Head to the Tokyo Patrol Staff Room and look to the right. See that jacket? It's yours! It just so happens to have an armband on it too. You now have a choice, continue with the game and watch some footage of the concert, or end the game early. If you would like to see the concert footage, head through the mess hall and go in the door marked EG. If, for some reason you want to skip to the ending video, go to the Rehersal Hall. EG Take the left path and you will be lead to the concert, which has already begun! Watch the video and then exit the area. Go to the Rehersal Hall for the end of the game. REHERSAL HALL Let's rub this armband in Mr. Bipolar's face. He will allow you to enter the Rehersal Hall, just in time for the ending ceremony of the concert. Watch the ending video. Sure sounds like everyone had a great time. After the ending video finishes, your edited music video will play. Congratulate yourself, or hang your head in shame. The credits will then roll, showing you the various pictures that you took. The end. ========================================================================== 5. FAQ ========================================================================== Q1. How do you save your game/edited music video/pictures? A1. You can't. At least, I have been unable to find a way. Q2. Can you enter the Dancer's Rooms backstage? A2. Not that I know of. Maybe the item I am missing holds the answer? Let me know. Q3. What is (Insert person here) saying? A3. I have no idea, I can't speak Japanese. Q4. Why do some characters speak English? A4. For the same reason many Japanese only games feature english menus. English, much like Japanese here in the Us, is seen as hip and cool. Q5. Can you use the Zoom Lens? A5. If you can, I have no idea how. I doubt it. Q6. Does it really matter which pictures I take? A6. I don't think so. Even when I took horrible pictures, Luke commended me. I think this game is meant more as something fun for fans rather than a serious game. ========================================================================== 6.
