1.2 Fighting System Explanation
This game is pretty simple yet very tricky.(lost you yet?)
The BUTTONS C(Circle), S(Square), T(Triangle), X(X)
commands the four character that you have chosen
to play with. pressing 4 buttons will make them use basic
attack. The buttons are aligned so that it matches the
position of characters on screen(right hand side). After
all your character have attacked or (moved) the game turns
to computer and let them move. So basically this is a TURN
based game. In the middle of fights you will notice that there
are bars on the bottom. When you are not attacking it displays
your character information. When you are attacking it displays
the TARGETs HIT POINT. To the left of the HIT POINT bar there is
a HIT measure. It measures how many hit you did and gives it a
percentage of 1~100. Some thing good will happen when the circular
measure goes up to 100...read on. or jump to OUGI!. After the turn based
explanation there is something else called CT, Charge Time. This is
used when MAGE cast spell, or you perform big moves. When the CT bar
is empty you are ready to cast another spell. Some spell will knock
you out for 5~9 turns. Each turn you will recover one CT, sometimes
hitting on TARGETS they give you a red crystal ball. 1 RED CRYSTAL = 1 CT
It gets automatically absorved by the person who needs it. You do not
control who gets the RED CRYSTAL.

1.3 Lets have more Combos!
Well now that you have learned the basic lets move on to combo.
This is where you coordinate your attacks. Note that after you press
the command button some times it takes a few second for them to actually
hit the TARGET. Most of times your TARGET will GUARD. so you
will need to trick them them. By pressing more than
button at once your character attacks at the same time.
If you press all 4 buttons at ones then all for goes. But each
character have a different hit time. Some are faster some are slower.
(Mages usually are the slowest). To do a combo, plan who is going
to go first. Arrange them in order of speed and attack position.
Use Lower attack to fake a Head Slash such stuff like that will
have a higher hit chance rate than going 1 by 1.

1.4 Combo guard?? MY combos CRUSHED!!! What?!@?@?#?$%$%^
Now that you tried combo you still get your Combos CRUSH sometimes?
Not to worry this happens quite often. To Crush a Combo Guard is easy.
Make sure you know how EACH of your character attack, position,
speed, number of hits, and degree. Now knowing them you can start to plan.
Take your time FIGHT SCENEs are not time based. To Successfuly hit
your TARGET you will need to fake a move. Hitting your Target All at
once is not the best way. Usually The first Chara to hit is the faker.
The following Charas are the Guard Crush people. Make the TARGET THINK
you going to hit lower area but then the first chara to arrive is
a head slash or back slash. Get it yet? Here is a few examples.
The first button you pressed commands a Head Slash(high range attack)
Second person you pressed(faster than first one) is a lower range
hitter. Now Since second is faster he will get there first and attack
first! Enemy will block first move NOT second. So covering his head
leavs his lower area clear. The combo is success and Guard is crushed.
Usually after a GUARD CRUSH the TARGET will FAINT for 2 turns. Use
the turns well.

1.5 OUGI! Special High Damaged moves
now When you attack your enemy when the circular Bar reaches 100,
a screen will come out before your screens goes back to normal.
Its a dark screen with your 4 buttons on it. The Character that
has the CT bar empty will be able to Perform OUGI or Special move.
Usually this move are killer moves but not everytime is successful.
NOTE! this moves adds ALOT of CT! Think before you act! CT clear
when you go into battle view next time! If you don't want to do
OUGI then just wait or press your DIRECTION keys. How to do multiple
OUGI? By hitting another 100 in the previous OUGI you can do
another OUGI with another character! YES! It is posible to do
at least 3 OUGI in 1 attack scene(i haven't encountered 4)!!.
*BEWARNED WHEN YOU ARE FIGHTING STRONG BOSS 3 OUGI MIGHT NOT*
*KILL HIM! YOU WILL HAVE TOO MUCH CT TO MOVE!!! WATCH OUT!!!*
*USE IT ONLY WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WILL KILL HIM FOR SURE!!!!!!!*

1.6 Special Abilitys

2.0 Wana be non barbarian? Try mages and stuff :) its neat~ Mages are really
powerful in this game. Use it well! Read on.
x - x - x - x - x - x - [SECTION BREAK] - x - x - x - x - x - x
2.1 Mages and Spells
ALAS! You are here! This is the most important Tactic in the game.
The KEY is to have STRONG mages. Basic attack can only hit 1 TARGET
at a time. Mages can hit ALL TARGET in 1 time...WOW! ain't that
neat or what! Why spend time to kill your TARGET one by one
when you can kill them in 1 turn? Always Train GOOD mages to KILL
thoes NASTY TARGETS in ONE turn instead of going round and round.
Watch out! After your mage cast a spell it usually takes him 3~5
Turns to recover his CT! So make sure your attack is fast and
blazingly harsh! This way enemy will not have a chance to attack.

2.3 Items and Such
Sometimes using items is a MUST. When you are out of CT on your
mages, and your other Charas are not healing you? Well use an
Elixar or 2. It heals 50% of ur total hit point! Some times you
can also use speical Attack Items too. And also potions to revive
your teammate. You can not THROW WEAPONS!
