        GETTING STARTED
        ===============
         - Translations for the first few menus and character selection.

        メイン メニュー(MAIN MENU)
        --------------------------
        ニューゲーム(New Game)
        ロードゲーム(Load Game)
        ゲームオプション(Game Options)

             NEW GAME
             --------
             This brings up a list of characters to choose from. See "Character
             Selection".

             LOAD GAME
             ---------
             This brings up a list of the files to load.

             GAME OPTIONS
             ------------
             メッセージそくど(Message Speed)
                  はやい(Fast)        おそい(Slow)
             せんとうアニメ(Battle Animation)
                  ON                  OFF
             セーブデータのさくじょ(Delete Save Data)
                  ★★セーブデータをけします!★★

        CHARACTER SELECTION
        -------------------
        The character on the left(プレイヤー) is the Player. The character on
        the right(パートナー) is your Partner.

        The character races are:
             ヒューマン(Human)
             フォレスター(Forester/Forest Elf)
             マリナー(Mariner)
             バーディアン(Birdeon?)
             リザードマン(Lizard Man)

        Simply choose the portrait of the gender you want to be for that race.
        The game then sends you to the Name screen...

        NAMING A CHARACTER
        ------------------
        The 4 options on the right are:
             ひらがな(Hiragana Characters)
             カタカナ(Katakana Characters)
             もどる(Return to Character Selection)
             けってい(Done)
        Most of you will simply want to name your character using the english
        letters at the bottom of both the "Hiragana" and "Katakana" character
        pages, then choose "Done" to continue on to the game(or naming your
        partner).

        For those of you who care, here are the default names of the characters:
             Human Male - Rod(ロッド)
             Human Female - Lina(リナ)

        DUNGEON TRANSLATIONS
        ====================
         - Translations for walking around in dungeons, for things like opening
        chests and various menus.

             キャンプ(Camp) Menu
             -------------------
             To reach this menu press "B" in the dungeon map.
                  アイテム(Item) - Use an item.
                  ステータス(Status) - View character or Unitron status.

                       ----------------------
                       Brings up 2 options.
                       はい(Yes) and いいえ(No). Yes sends you back to the
                       overland map, No sends you back to the Camp Menu.

             Treasure Chests
             ---------------
             Three things happen when you open a chest.

                  1) You recieve money. This is distingushed by a number at
                  least 3 digits in the window the chest brings up.

                  2) You recieve an item. This is distingushed by a line
                  filled text box with no numbers(except in the case of
                  Repair 1, 2, etc. and Tools and such, but those are all
                  small numbers that you would never recieve so little money).
                  In the bottom left of the text box is the item name,
                  reference to my list to know what you got.

                  3) Nothing. This is easy to see, as it is the only of the 3
                  possibilities that only takes up one line in the text box.


        BATTLE TRANSLATIONS
        ===================
         - Translations for the battle menus, and what they do.

             アイテム(Item) - Use an item.
             チャージ(Charge) - Charge EP.
             たいきゃく(Flee) - Run away from the battle.

                  Attack
                  ------
                  Brings up a list of attacks. Attack names correspond with Arm names,
                  so see the "Arm List" further down in this FAQ.

                  Item
                  ----
                  Brings up a list of items. See the "Item List" further down in this FAQ to
                  know what you are using.

                  Charge EP
                  ---------
                  When you are running low on EP use this to get some back.

                  Flee
                  ----
                  This runs from the battle. No translation neccesary, you will know
                  if you escaped or not because you will be back in the dungeon screen.

             Victory
             -------
             Once you defeat the enemy and the battle is won you will see 2 numbers
             surrounded by japanese text. The first number is experience, the second
             is money. If there is a 3rd line of text, the very first set of characters
             on the line is the item you won.


        CHARACTERS
        ==========
        Here is a list of characters you encounter. Because I can not read very fluent
        Japanese, these are just name translations till I can take the time to write
        down what they say to translate it.

                  is the owner or simply some sort of employee.

        ARM DEVELOPMENT LIST
        ====================
        Items can be combined with materials and tools to create other items.
        Simply choose the "Development" option in the Workshop. You first choose
        the base arm, then the material to combine it with, then a good tool to raise
        the chance of succesful combining of the Arm and Material.

        Note that later materials will work in place of the basic ones sometimes, but
        I will list the cheapest/lowest level material that will help the item. Also
        note that while some materials will work to create the same item as the lower
        materials, some will make all new items. I will do my best to make this list
        as easy to read as possible.

        Send any combonations you find to me at [email protected]. If you can
        not read Japanese to tell me the Item names and the items are not avaialble
        on my list then mail me with the item and material's location on the item
        list(4th on the list, 10th on the list, etc.).


        PROGRESSION CHART
        =================
        This is a quick list of "Arm Progression". This can be used a quick
        reference to see what basic Arm becomes what. Consider this a "work in
        progress". Only english names will be used in this chart. As I discover
        items that have multiple "progression paths" I will move them from the
        single to multiple path lists.

        GETTING STARTED
        ===============
        Having a hard time figuring out what to do at the beginning of the game?
        Simply talk to everyone in town, then go back to the Workshop! Most of you
        probably figured this out, but I'd thought I'd go ahead and state it just
        in case someone was having a hard time figuring out what to do.


        STARTING UNITRON COMPARISON
        ===========================
        This is just a quick comparison of the different character's starting
        Unitron equipment. This is so you can decide which of the races is
        more your style. They all start with the same Core and Backpack so I
        didn't list that.

                     Right Arm   Left Arm    Leg
                     ---------   --------    ---
        Human -      B Knuckle   Lancer      H Basic
        Forester -   Silk Hand   Lancer      F Basic
        Mariner -    Hydro Gun   Hook Claw   M Basic
        Birdeon -    Hawk Nail   Whip        B Basic
        Lizard Man - Ogre        Hand Axe    L Basic


        THE ARENA
        =========
        What does the Arena do you ask? Well, in the arena you fight against other
        Unitrons to gain ranks. The objective is to reach the rank "Master of
        Masters".
                   GRADE  |  RANK
                  ----------------
                       E  |  Rookie
                       D  |  ???
                       C  |  ???
                       B  |  Duke
                       A  |  Lord
                       S  |  High Master
                Champion  |  Master of Masters


        HIDDEN TECHNIQUES
        =================
        Wow! I was going through talking to people so I could go back to the arena,
        and while talking to Elmut(old guy in woods), he asked me which of two special
        techniques I wanted! I wasn't really sure what was going on, so didn't write
        anything down, but will start a new game and rush back to that point to see
        how exactly to do it. Anyways, he gave me the option of "Nova" and another
        technique whose name eludes me right now. These are extra techniques that are
        REALLY powerful you can use in battle without equipping anything, in addition
        to your standard Arm attacks. I will get more info on this as soon as possible...

        This section of the FAQ will explain some about how the dungeons work. Reference
        to the Translations Section for things like menu and chest translations.

        DUNGEON DESCRIPTIONS
        ====================
        石の迷宮(Ishi No Meikyuu) - The Stone Shrine, home of the Lizard Men.
        風の遺跡(Kaze No Iseki) - The floating castle of the Birdeons.
        青の回廊(Ao No Kairou) - An island in the sea, home of the Mariners.
