INTRODUCTION
[INTRO]
==============================================================================
Hey, everybody. This is an in-depth guide containing just about every bit of
information you could ever ask for about the moves and magic of the main
party in Grandia.
Grandia is such a deep game that no matter how digestible I try to make it,
the information presented in this guide is quite dense. That being said, if
you ever wanted to know the exact parameters of any magic spell or special
move, this is your guide. Hopefully some people will find some use in this
guide.
If you spot any mistakes within the guide, or you have something you feel I
should add, contact me via Private Messaging on GameFAQs. I will credit you
for the information in the special thanks section of the guide. I also might
mistakenly refer to "Moves" as "Skills," so take them interchangeably. It
certainly doesn't help that Skill Power Level-changing equipment boosts the
power of special moves, so hey.

VERSION HISTORY
[VERSI]
==============================================================================
Version 1.0 : The first edition of the guide. Completed on: 26/01/2016.
==============================================================================
HOW DO I READ THESE THINGS?
[HOWDO]
==============================================================================
*** I RECOMMEND YOU READ THIS SECTION ***
This guide will help you read the charts available in this guide. There are
many elements of the game that I will delve into in-depth in this guide, so
I recommend reading this part of the guide.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NAME : Unabridged name of the skill or spell.
LVL : Level of magic spell, from 1 to 3. This does not appear on any
skill chart.
MP/SP : How much MP spells cost, and how much SP skills cost. The tier
of MP used corresponds to the spell's LVL.
LEARNED : Displays which weapon or magic levels are needed to learn the
corresponding special move or magic spells. Certain moves for
Justin and Feena can only be learned after story events, and until
they've occured, the learn values present in-game will appear as
"??".
ELEMENT : The element of the special move or magic spell. Worth mentioning
here is that Lightning/Blizzard/Forest/Explosion elements aren't
resisted the same way Fire, Wind, Water and Earth elements are; as
far as I know, enemies only have resistance values corresponding to
the basic elements. So, resistances to the other elements are based
on a combination of basic elemental resistances. Enemies with good
resistances to Fire and Wind will be resistant to Lightning, for
example, while enemies weak to Wind and Water will be weak to
Blizzard.
POWER : Base power of the skill or spell.
-> Numbers without any sort of parenthesis are for normal
damaging spells.
-> (+x), (-x), etc are for ATK/DEF/MOV/ACT/MaxHP buffs and
debuffs. (+x) correspond to buffs, while (-x) corresponds to
debuffs. Buffs and debuffs cap out at +7 and -7 respectively.
-> [x], etc are for status ailments and status curing spells.
I'm not sure to what extent the numbers affect the spells, but
presumably larger numbers correspond to greater chances of
ailments landing, while curing ailments are 100% accurate all
of the time.
-> With some exceptions, like Time Gate and Tree of Life, all
spells fall under these rules.
-> Magic spells don't scale with any main stat. Their power
remains static unless you equip accessories that boost
Magic Power Level; +7 roughly doubles the effectiveness of
magic, which would make GadZap's impressive 550 Base Power
an extreme 1100 Base Power when fully powered up.
-> The vast majority of skills, on the other hand, scale with
Strength, even skills that deal elemental damage. The fun
really begins when you equip stuff that boosts Skill Power
Level, because both the scaling of Strength and Skill Power
Level stack on to the power. As with Magic Power Level, +7
is the cap and corresponds roughly to double base power.
IP/IP KNOCKBACK:
IP Knockback. How far back an enemy's IP placement is sent when hit
with an attack. These values are quite huge. Milda Hit deals 9999
IP Knockback, for example.
CANCEL %: Cancel Percentage. All moves have a certain chance of canceling an
enemy's attack while their icon on the IP Gauge is between COM and
ACT, and while they are executing an attack that does not freeze
time during execution (basically, when enemies are using normal
attacks).
TYPE : Corresponds to the type of skill/spell it is. THIS IS ONLY FOR THE
(not so) QUICK AND EASY MAGIC AND SKILL LIST. Grandia's such a
deep game in terms of mechanics that even trying to cut down on
the fat as much as I can, it's still a lot to parse through...
-> Damage: The move deals HP damage. The corresponding element is
noted by the to the left of the name in the menu. If
there is no icon, the skill is Physical.
-> Buff/Debuff: The move raises or lowers ATK/DEF/MOV/ACT/MaxHP
parameters. Both cap out at +7 and -7 each.
-> Ailment: The move deals a certain status ailment. Due to space
restrictions, the exact ailments cannot be put in the
chart.
-> Snooze: Inflicts Sleep.
-> Shhh!: Inflicts Magic Block.
-> Fiora: Inflicts Move Block.
-> Poizn: Inflicts Poison.
-> Craze: Inflicts Confusion.
-> Restore: The move restores HP. The power of spells scale pretty
identically to how normal damage-dealing spells do.
-> Revive: The move cures an ally of the KO condition. There's
only one of these... :P
-> Cure: The move cures an ally of a status ailment. As with the
"ailment" type, what is cured cannot be displayed in the
chart.
-> Cure: Removes Poison.
-> Refresh: Removes Move Block and Magic Block.
-> Halvah: Removes all ailments.
-> Tree of Life: Removes all ailments, including KO.
-> Dmg+Ail: Damage + Ailment. Exclusive to Paralyze Whip.
-> Death: Deals Sudden Death to an enemy. Exclusive to Dethsword.
-> Steal: Steals an item from an enemy. Exclusive to Mogay
Pickpocket.
-> MP Abs.: Absorbs a small amount of MP from the enemy. Exclusive
to Enchantment Dance.
-> Special: The move does something unique.
-> Enclose: Temporarily stuns an enemy/halts IP.
-> Time Gate: Freezes time for all but the caster.
-> Protection: Grants temporary invincibility.
-> Immortal Aura: Grants temporary invincibility.
-> Mist Hide: Randomly teleport somewhere.
RANGE : The range of battlers affected by the move.
FOR THE FULL MAGIC AND SKILL LIST
The Area of Effect. Self-explanatory in this section of the
guide. If the Range includes "[Walk]", then the user MUST get
within the appropriate Distance in order to activate their move.
Distance will be explored at a later time.
FOR THE QUICK AND EASY MAGIC AND SKILL LIST
-> 1A : One Ally -> RA : Range of Allies
-> AA : All Allies -> AO : All but the Caster
-> 1E : One Enemy -> RE : Range of Enemies
-> AE : All Enemies -> AB : Everyone (All Battlers)
-> SF : Self -> OA : Any Ally Except Caster
Sm. = Small / Md. = Medium / Lg. = Large. The vast majority of
moves available to the player effect a radius, the sole exception
being Discutter which hits in a line. Enemies have access to a
wider variety of ranges.
Circ. = Obviously, the range is a circle that can differ in size.
Burn! is one of the smallest ranges, along with Runner.
BOOM! is slightly larger, while Howl and Burnflame are
pretty large.
Line = Deals damage to a line. All enemies caught in the line
of fire are affected. The only skill the player has
access to that uses this is Discutter.
EXP RATE: The amount of EXP conferred onto the user on "hit". Basically, this
decides BASE amount of EXP you'll receive when using the move,
multiplied by how many targets you hit. Base EXP of 30 and you hit
two targets? 60 EXP. Now, Base EXP scales down the higher your
magic or skill levels are relative to how strong your targets are.
This means that you can't grind levels on the same enemies and
expect the same results; you must find more powerful enemies. I'm
unsure of how the game decides this, but rule of thumb is that the
farther along in the story the dungeon is, the more EXP the enemies
within the dungeon will give you. When using skills or moves on
your own party members, only the downward scaling of higher magic
or skill levels applies.
-> Heal at Level 1 Water will confer 8 EXP.
-> Heal at STAR MAX will confer 3 EXP.
Equipping the Ethereal or Astral Miracle will double magic or
weapon EXP received, but for when skills confer both weapon and
magic EXP, the Astral Miracle will only double weapon EXP
received, and not magic EXP. Similarly, the Ethereal Miracle will
double Magic EXP received when using special moves, and not
Weapon EXP.
DISTANCE: How close the user must be to an enemy in order to use their attack.
This not only applies to special moves, but to individual weapons,
as well. To give you a general idea of what the values represented
in the "Distance" box correspond to, here is a brief list of weapons
and their respective active distances (not all are listed):
Knives : 0
Short Swords : 1 (Short Swords and Long Swords look
Maces : 1 noticeably different in-game. The
Axes : 1 Spirit Sword is considered a Long
Long Swords : 2 Sword with its range of 2)
Whips : 2
Force Knife : 10
Toy Bow and Arrow : 12
Army Darts : 12
Hunter's Bow : 14
Angel's Darts : 16
Boomerang : 18
Flying Fish Bow : 20
Flint Bow : 22
Demonslayer Boomer : 22
Thunder Arrow : 25
Telescope : 128 (Yeah, it's silly).
Special Moves have their own range and are not affected in any way
by what weapon or accessory you have equipped. Yes, this includes
the Telescope. Sorry, no 128 range V-Slash for you!
RADIUS : The size of the "area of effect" for certain spells that affect a
range. There aren't any "cone" shaped AOEs in this game, and the
only Line-AOE move you have is Rapp's Discutter (there aren't any
otheer moves to compare its Radius of 0 to, either). So, you only
need to worry about circle-shaped AOEs as far as your party is
concerned; enemies have a much greater assortment of AOEs. Anyway,
the larger the number, the larger the area of effect. Here is a
general overview to give you a better idea:
15 : Burn!, Flying Dragon Cut, Diggin' (for some reason)
20 : Runner, Poizn
28 : Tremor
30 : BOOM!, Zap!
32 : Howl
35 : Mogay Bomb
40 : Burnflame
DESCRIPTION:
The in-game description. The game does a mostly-good job at
explaining its deeper mechanics with about only fourty characters
to work with.
ANALYSIS: In this section I just go into detail about the move or spell, like
its potential uses, how effective it is, and other little bits of
info that don't fit into an easily quantifiable section or box.
Hopefully it's useful, and definitely the least tedious thing to
write about! :P
LEARNED BY:
Shows which characters learn which spells.
REQUIRED WEAPONS:
Some special moves require a certain weapon in order to use. The
only characters that have to worry about these distinctions are Sue,
Feena, Rapp, and Guido.

| Analysis: Deals a flat 999 damage to all enemies, regardless of elemental |

| take 999 damage alike. This is to End of the World's benefit and detriment,|
| as while it's powerful, it's not Heaven&Earth Cut or Neo Demon Ball-levels |

| Analysis: Raises Move levels of the selected ally by 2. Any nearby allies |
| will have their Move levels raised by 1. Not terribly useful, but it does |

| Analysis: Inflicts Magic Block on one enemy. Due to how magic resistances |

| far as enemies are concerned. A BA-BOOM! from a Brain Bat will kill your |
| entire party, for example, without proper resistances. However, since |

| and allies receive no damage. A very interesting spell. This spell deals |
| decent damage and is good in a pinch if your party's bunched up together |

| this spell is better than its Fire magic equivalent, Burnflare. B^) |

| Analysis: Restores a minor amount of HP to one ally. Quickly outclassed by |
| all other healing spells and items in general, Heal is actually most bene- |

| Analysis: Inflicts Sleep on all enemies. This is actually a pretty good |
| spell, as inflicting Sleep on an enemy completely resets their location on |

| progress. While Grandia doesn't really offer any direct awards for winning |

| basically a full-party Healer for about half the cost it would take you |

| resist Earth to a large extent cannot be debuffed using this spell, 'cause |
| elemental resistances also apply to debuffs. Still, against enemies who do |
| not resist Earth, this spell is great. It's also by far one of the best |
| ways to level up Sue's, Gadwin's and Rapp's Earth magic levels, easily |
| better than Tremor due to its non-damaging properties, it being cheap to |

| This is the first a line of really damn good spells--Lightning spells. |
| While expensive, are very powerful and well worth the cost. It's a shame |
| that only Justin and Liete have good access to them, as will be made clear |
| clear later. Zap!'s range is gigantic, and it hits very hard for a level 1 |
| spell. While Liete has Magic Art, this is Justin's best offensive level 1 |
| magic spell. Same goes for Sue. |

| spell in the game, outside of End of the World, of course. For that reason |
| alone it's well worth casting. It's available on the entire final party |
| as well. It's pricey (though not as much as End of the World, thankfully), |

| Description: Blocks all attacks of 1 enemy for now |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Locks an enemy's IP Gauge in place and continuously deals minor |
| (presumably Lightning-elemental) damage. Rounding off this amazing set |
| of spells is Enclose, which only Liete can use. This is Grandia's version |
| of Grandia II's Spellbinding Eye, though not quite as easy to access and |
| use. Any enemy inflicted with this spell won't be able to act temporarily, |
| and the best part? Bosses are NOT immune to this thing. The final boss |
| cowers in fear of Enclose, and for good reason. If you want to eliminate |
| any challenge this game could have provided? Use Enclose. Just remember |
| that the effect doesn't last forever. Be prepared for the enemy to act |
| once the spell's effect wears off. |

| Description: Freeze action of all enemies |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Lowers the Move of all enemies by two levels. Gravity finds its |
| niche in hitting a single target with a Move debuff to great effect, while |
| Freeze! instead hits all enemies to not as great of an effect. There isn't |
| much meaningful choice to be had, here; Liete is the only character you |
| need to choose between the two spells with. Freeze!, however, is a great |
| way to level up Wind and Water magic levels for Justin and Liete. Another |
| thing to keep in mind is enemy resistances. As I mentioned before in the |
| Def-Loss analysis, if an enemy resists the debuff's element, they will |
| not have their stat levels lowered. So, if an enemy resists Gravity, try |
| using Freeze! and vice-versa. |

| Description: Stops time for everyone else |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Halts the IP of all but the caster for a long time. The most in- |
| -famous spell in all of Grandia, simply due to its level requirements. I |
| suppose if you want to legitimately get this spell, equip an Ethereal |
| Miracle and spam Heal and Howl spells. Anyway, time will stop for several |
| of Feena's turns, meaning she'll be able to do practically anything you |
| need done within that time. It works like Unama's Orb from Grandia III, |
| except only Feena can act. Strangely enough, apparently not only is this |
| spell's level requirements glitched, but Disc 1's data of this spell |
| differs from the data found on Disc 2, which are the stats shown here. I |
| will display the Disc 1 stats in a later section of this guide. |

| Reducing the pace at which an enemy progresses along it, then, is a very |
| good thing indeed. This should be the debuff to use on bosses if they are |
| not resistance to Wind and Water. This is one of the best debuffs in the |
| game simply due to how Wit works. It's a shame that, again, only Justin |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Attack 1 enemy with a V-shaped slash |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to one enemy. To execute, Justin |
| must get within range of the enemy in order to use the attack. For a move |
| available right from the start, it's actually decently powerful; equal to |
| Sue's Puffy Fire and Rapp's Missile. It gets outclassed by Midair Cut (and |
| its elemental variations) later on. |

| Radius: None | Description: Attack 1 enemy with a critical V-slash |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals slightly more Physical damage than V-Slash, but with more |
| IP Knockback and a higher chance of canceling enemy attacks. Definitely a |
| strange addition to Justin's movelist, as its main use isn't really made |
| clear to the player, aside from instance of "critical" in the description. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: 30 | Description: Range attack with shock waves |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to a circle of enemies. Justin's |
| sole special move that specifically hits a range of enemies but doesn't |
| hit ALL enemies, Shockwave is good for dealing with enemy mobs that you've |
| gotten the initiative on, or for bosses that sport body parts that you can |
| target (of which there are many). Unfortunately, it is weaker than all of |
| his other special moves, save for the one that doesn't deal damage in the |
| first place, Immortal Aura. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Critical spinning attack on 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals major Physical damage to one enemy. Now this is a special |
| move; it deals great damage, is relatively cheap, and can activate at any |
| range. It deals massive IP Knockback and has a 100% chance of canceling an |
| enemy's attack. It acts much like Tenseiken Slash from Grandia II or |
| Aerial Slash from Grandia III in that it's basically Justin's best move |
| to cancel any enemy attack should you so choose. At least, once you have |
| reached MAX on your move star level. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Cut 1 enemy with a sword of fire |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals major Fire-elemental damage to one enemy. The first |
| of three single-targeting elemental slash abilities Justin has access to, |
| and the weakest. Justin must get within range of the enemy to activate the |
| move, but curiously enough it can be used from a slightly longer range. It |
| obviously deals great damage to enemies depending on their resistance to |
| Fire. Resistances are explained in another section. Suffice to say, Lotus |
| Cut is a good move made even better if used appropriately. Note that |
| unlike Midair Cut, it does not boast a 100% cancel percentage rate. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Cuts 1 enemy with a sword of ice |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals major Blizzard-elemental damage to one enemy. The second |
| elemental slash abilities, Ice Slash is slightly stronger than both Lotus |
| Cut and Midair Cut by about 50 (relative to their 350). Justin must get |
| within range to activate the skill, like Lotus Cut. Due to how elements |
| work, enemies that are weak to Wind, Water, or both, are susceptible to |
| Ice Slash. There isn't much to say about Ice Slash other than to use it in |
| the right situations. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Cuts 1 enemy with a lightning sword |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals massive Lightning-elemental damage to one enemy. The last |
| of the elemental slash abilities, and in my opinion, the best. It can |
| activate from any range, deals incredible damage and IP knockback, and has |
| a great chance of canceling an attack. Obviously, if canceling an attack's |
| more pertinent at the time, or if the enemy you're fighting has Fire/Wind |
| resistances, use Midair Cut. But for all other instances, use Thor Cut. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Temporarily defends all attacks |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Renders Justin invincible to all incoming damage temporarily. |
| This is Justin's version of the Blizzard spell, Protection, however he can |
| only use it on himself. If you're expecting a huge onslaught of attacks, |
| use this to keep Justin alive. This does not prevent IP stalling when hit, |
| so make sure to keep that in mind. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Gadwin magic sword cuts all enemies |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Explosion-elemental damage to all enemies. This |
| technique can only be learned after Justin's second duel with Gadwin. Not |
| terribly useful on bosses, but very good for dealing with tough enemy mobs |
| (Well, about as tough as Grandia gets, certainly!) and for grinding up |
| weapon, fire and earth magic levels. It has since become a legacy move in |
| the Grandia series, usually being featured as the most powerful move |
| available to the protagonist, despite the fact that the next move is even |
| more powerful. Speaking of which... |

| Distance: Any | Range: All Enemies | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Justin's best move - all enemies |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals massive Physical damage to all enemies. Oh baby, now THIS |
| is one hell of a move. Imagine Milda Hit, but on ALL enemies AND with the |
| weapon and magic pool Justin has access to increasing its power even more. |
| Suffice to say, if you need to obliterate every last enemy in the room, |
| Heaven&Earth Cut is the way to go. Did I mention the 9999 IP Knockback and |
| 100% cancel rate? This all comes with a price, however: the high SP cost |
| (highest in the game!), but with an Energy Charm or a Tree God's Amulet, |
| SP costs are the least of your concerns. It's just too bad that this move |
| has never made a reappearance since this game. This move can be learned |
| after the second duel with Gadwin. |

+------------------+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Distance: Any | Range: Single Enemy | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Attack 1 enemy by throwing Puffy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to one enemy. Sue doesn't have to |
| get in range for this attack to activate, which comes in handy considering |
| she's not all that quick on her feet. It's slightly weaker than V-Slash, |
| but it's cheaper, too. Until you get Puffy Fire, this will be your go-to |
| move for dealing with bosses. |

| Distance: Any | Range: All Allies | EXP Rate: 03 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Restore some HP to party by cheering |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Restores a minor amount of HP to all allies. This is the only |
| healing skill you'll have access to until you find your first Mana Egg, so |
| until then this skill is useful in a pinch. Once you have learned Alheal, |
| the only utility this move provides is that it's the ONLY instant-cast |
| healing in the game when at STAR MAX, which is nifty. |

| Distance: Any | Range: Circle of Enemies | EXP Rate: 10 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: 30 | Description: Range attack with shock waves |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to a circle of enemies. This move |
| is identical to Justin's Shockwave in every way, except it's a little bit |
| quicker on the cast time. As with Shockwave, this is great for dealing |
| with mobs of enemies you've gotten the drop on. |

| Distance: Any | Range: All Enemies | EXP Rate: 10 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Fire missile weapons at all enemies |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to all enemies. This is a GREAT |
| skill for mobs as it's cheap and only slightly weaker than Round Whacker, |
| except it hits all enemies. Sue's access to Throwing Weapons/Bows (which |
| grant +2 STR upon leveling up) means that you'll be dealing tons of damage |
| to all enemies on the cheap. For boss battles with multiple parts it's not |
| as good as Round Whacker, but for every other situation, use Fire Away. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Required Weapons: Bows or Throwing Weapons only. |

| Distance: Any | Range: Circle of Enemies | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: 30 | Description: Puts a range of enemies to sleep |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Inflicts Sleep to a group of enemies. This move is... okay... |
| except not only does Sue have access to the all-targeting Snooze spell, |
| it's equal in power to it, too, meaning Snooze is just the better option. |
| Maybe there's some hidden property to it that I'm not seeing. Otherwise, |
| I'd skip on this move. |

| Distance: Any | Range: Circle of Enemies | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Range attack by breathing fire |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Fire damage to a circle of enemies. Power-wise, |
| this is Sue's most powerful skill. It's a more powerful, Fire-elemental |
| Round Whacker, essentially. It's quite expensive, but it's worth the cost. |
| Definitely a good skill. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Required Weapons: Any of Sue's weapons. |

| Distance: Any | Range: All Allies | EXP Rate: 08 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Up attack power of party by cheering |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Increases the Attack levels of all allies by one level. This is |
| one of the best buffing moves in the game, but it's a shame it's only |
| available for Disc 1. This is great for boss battles, at least until you |
| have access to Power Mushrooms or Black Nail Polish. WOW!, this move's |
| magic, single-targeting equivalent, is vastly outclassed by... pretty much |
| every other Attack level-raising skill, magic, or item. The beat is also |
| catchy as hell, too. |

| Distance: Any | Range: Single Enemy | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Hurl knives quickly at 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to one enemy. Feena doesn't need |
| to move into range to use this technique, which is nice. Otherwise, it's |
| just like Puffy Kick with a better canceling chance. It's certainly better |
| than Paralyze Whip as a starter move for Feena. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Required Weapons: Knives only. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

| Random Hurl \
+-------------++----------------------------------------+--------------------+

| Distance: Any | Range: All Enemies | EXP Rate: 10 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Hurl knives around at all enemies |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to all enemies. This is basically |
| Feena's version of Fire Away, except without a comparable Strength stat to |
| boost it up. Still, it's good for mobs and unlike Fire Away, you have |
| access to it for the entire game... for the most part. |

| Distance: (8) | Range: Single Enemy / [Walk] | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Paralyzing whip attack on 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to one enemy with a chance of |
| inflicting Paralysis. Yeah, that Base Power isn't the best. This move's |
| usefulness drops off super hard later in the game, but it can be useful if |
| you know which enemies are susceptible to Paralysis. There are better ways |
| to utilize Feena's turns, however. |

| Distance: (8) | Range: Circle of Enemies / [Walk] | EXP Rate: 30 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: 30 | Description: Flame whip range attack |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Fire damage to a circle of enemies. Now this is |
| what I'm talking about! The range on this skill is the same as Puffy Fire, |
| but only slightly weaker. This move's best utility is that it has a great |
| Base EXP Rate, which makes leveling up Whip and Fire levels a breeze. She |
| will need those levels if she wants to use End of the World. Good for mobs |
| and if you need to grind up some weapon/magic levels. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Lightning whip attack on 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals massive Lightning-elemental damage to one enemy. Easily |
| Feena's best skill. It's power is comparable to Thor Cut but with a better |
| cancel rate. The only tradeoff is that Feena must get within range to |
| activate it, but for a move with 450 Base Power that's not too much to ask.|
| If Feena is not casting spells, she should be using Zap! Whip, no question.|

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: 15 | Description: Cutting range attack high in the air |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to a small circle of enemies. |
| This move's range is the same as Burn!'s (gosh, that looks awful in text), |
| which is to say that it's quite small. It will hit all body parts on a |
| boss, so it has its use in hitting tight groups of enemies. For bosses, |
| I'd recommend the next two skills, anyway. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Killer attack on 1 enemy with power |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Explosion-elemental damage to one enemy. Eruption |
| Cut boasts a 100% cancel rate, which can be useful in certain situations. |
| It's not all that powerful, but it's more cost and time-efficient than any |
| alternatives. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Magic sword attack on all enemies |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Explosion-elemental damage to all enemies. This |
| technique is available to Gadwin right from the get-go and trivializes all |
| mobs near a save point, not to mention Gadwin's jacked base stats making |
| this move even more powerful. If there's a save point nearby, let this |
| move rip and watch as the difficulty fades away. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Warps self in the blink of an eye |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Rapp will warp instantly to a slightly-random point on the |
| battlefield. This move has an interesting concept: spend 5 SP to move out |
| of the way of an incoming attack. It fails in the execution, however, as |
| Rapp is more than likely to warp to the exact location he warped from in |
| the first place. Using this move is a gamble, and not one I'd be willing |
| to making considering you can actually choose where you move when you use |
| Evasion. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Divide into many and attack 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals major Physical damage to one enemy. This is Rapp's best |
| Knife/Sword-exclusive special move--it deals good damage and IP Knockback, |
| has a decent cancel rate, too. Rapp's better off sticking with Throwing |
| Weapons but if you have Rapp equipped with a knife or a sword, this move |
| is definitely the way to go. |

| Distance: Any | Range: Single Enemy | EXP Rate: 30 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Sudden death to 1 enemy by sword |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals Sudden Death to one enemy. Enemies that are not vulnerable |
| to Sudden Death only have normal damage dealt to them. Good for enemies |
| that are particularly tough or dangerous, though enemies of those sorts |
| only appear in the Tower of Temptation, I believe. An interesting move, |
| but nothing to write home about. |

| Distance: Any | Range: Single Enemy | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Always hits target of 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to one enemy. Rapp's version of |
| Puffy Kick, but with a bit more Base Power behind it. This move is good |
| until you have access to Demon Ball, but until then Missile does have its |
| uses, especially for its cheap SP cost. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

| Distance: Any | Range: Circle of Enemies | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Range attack by throwing fireballs |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Fire-elemental damage to a circle of enemies. It |
| is good at dealing with--what else--mobs you've gotten the drop on. Its |
| power is similar to that of Fire Whip and has a pretty decent EXP Rate, |
| so if you're looking to grind up Throw/Fire levels, this is your move. |
| Like all other elemental moves, with appropriate use this move can deal |
| great damage, so use it with discretion. |

| Radius: None | Description: Attacks all enemies by side throwing |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to all enemies. Basically, it's |
| Rapp's version of Fire Away except slightly stronger and 12 SP more |
| expensive. It has much better IP Knockback, so it can be used in difficult |
| boss battles to halt their actions for a while. |

| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to a line of enemies. This move |
| is the only one you have access to that hits a line of enemies, which is |
| interesting. Lotus Flower this is not, as it's Rapp's weakest move and it |
| doesn't have that wide of a range. Still, if you're in a situation where |
| there are a bunch of enemies in front of Rapp all in a line, use this |
| technique. Otherwise, stick with Sidethrow, or Fireball. |

+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Rapp's ball attack on 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals major Physical damage to one enemy. Did someone call for |
| Rapp's (better) version of Midair Cut? This is his best single-targeting |
| move, so this is THE move to use for Rapp on lone bosses. It also doubles |
| as Rapp's best move for canceling enemies, much like Midair Cut, so it's |
| unfortunate that it's locked behind quite large level requirements. Still, |
| it's well worth the effort. Like Discutter, this doesn't require Rapp to |
| be equipped with any particular weapon, so that's definitely a plus. |

| Radius: None | Description: Rapp's ball attack on all enemies |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals massive Physical damage to all enemies. Oh yeah, it's (a |
| slightly weaker) Heaven&Earth Cut, but for Rapp! There isn't much to say |
| about this move that hasn't already been said for Heaven&Earth Cut; if you |
| need to obliterate every last enemy in battle, this is your move. Rapp's |
| decent weapon spread means that it won't trail too much behind Justin's |
| damage output thanks to Throwing Weapons conferring +2 STR upon leveling |
| up. A great skill for Rapp, especially with an Energy Charm or a Tree |
| God's Amulet. |

+-------------+----+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Base Power: 250 | IP Knockback: 4000 | Cancel %: 30 | Casting Time: 60 |
+------------------+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Distance: Any | Range: Single Enemy | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: No-range drop kick attack on 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to one enemy. Milda has a fairly |
| good assortment of techniques, and starting off we have Milda Kick, which |
| is basically her version of V-Slash or Missile. It can activate at any |
| range, which is nice because Milda is about as agile as a tree. It's more |
| cost-effective than Milda Hit, so this is good for long boss battles. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Required Weapons: Any of Milda's weapons. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

| Splitter \

| Distance: Any | Range: All Enemies | EXP Rate: 10 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Pounding quake attack on all enemies |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to all enemies. Its attributes |
| are similar to Sidethrow, making it great for mobs and bosses alike. Aside |
| from that, there's nothing special about the move, though sometimes good |
| moves are pretty simple, like Splitter. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Required Weapons: Any of Milda's weapons. |

+------------------+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Distance: (5) | Range: Single Enemy / [Walk] | EXP Rate: 50 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Ultimate Milda combo hit on 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals massive Physical damage to one enemy. This is your first |
| little taste of REAL power, as its power is equal to that of Heaven&Earth |
| Cut (meaning it's pretty damn strong). Milda has access to it right from |
| the get-go and can obliterate any enemy (and most bosses) with it easily. |
| It's incredibly expensive, and doesn't have the all-targeting range of |
| other high SP-cost moves to justify it's use quite as much, but hey: with |
| an Energy Charm, anything's possible. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Required Weapons: Any of Milda's weapons. |

Guido's Moves [GUIDO]
==============================================================================
+-----------+
| Mogay Shot \
+-------------+-----------------------------------------+--------------------+
| SP Cost: 14 | Learned: Throw 5 | Element: Physical |
+-------------+----+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Base Power: 250 | IP Knockback: 2500 | Cancel %: 05 | Casting Time: 30 |
+------------------+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Distance: Any | Range: Single Enemy | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Always hits 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals moderate Physical damage to one enemy. You know the drill, |
| this is Guido's version of V-Slash, Missile, Milda Kick, etc. There isn't |
| much to say about it besides that you'll need a bow if you want to use it, |
| which they don't automatically supply you with until the Ruin Guard drops |
| the Thunder Arrow. Otherwise, buy one in Zil Padon. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Required Weapons: Bows only. |

+-----------+
| Mogay Bomb \
+-------------+-----------------------------------------+--------------------+
| SP Cost: 38 | Learned: Throw 12 | Element: Physical |
+-------------+----+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Base Power: 150 | IP Knockback: 9999 | Cancel %: 100 | Casting Time: 90 |
+------------------+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Distance: Any | Range: Circle of Enemies | EXP Rate: 10 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: 35 | Description: Slows enemy IP to a minimum. Range |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals minor Physical damage to a circle of enemies. While weak, |
| this move's primary use in how much IP Damage it does, which is to say, a |
| lot. There are only two other moves boasting 9999 IP Knockback, one of |
| which is Heaven&Earth Cut, the other being the spell, End of the World. |
| This is actually pretty decent for boss battles, as instead of killing the |
| enemy faster (which Guido was never going to do, anyway), this halts their |
| IP enough so that they can't get turns in the first place. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Required Weapons: Any of Guido's weapons. |

| Mogay Hypo \

+------------------+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Distance: (3) | Range: Single Ally (not Self) | EXP Rate: 15 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Restores SP of 1 friend with a shot |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Restores 45 SP to another ally. Guido cannot target himself with |
| the move, not that spending 45 SP to restore 45 SP would do much. It does |
| have its uses: Guido, not prone to doing much damage, is instead useful in |
| the utility he provides to the party, which his skills complement. If Rapp |
| or Justin run low on SP, use this to keep up their damage output. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Required Weapons: Any of Guido's weapons. |

+------------------+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Distance: (3) | Range: Single Ally | EXP Rate: 15 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Ups all ability of 1 friend by shot |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Raises the Attack/Defense/Wit/Move/MaxHP levels of one ally. One |
| of the best buffing skills in the game, only outclassed by Star Symphony. |
| This is one of the very few ways to raise max HP, so that is something to |
| keep in mind. It's useful for a few boss battles, to be sure. It's cheap, |
| too, so don't be afraid to splurge on it. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Required Weapons: Any of Guido's weapons. |

| Mogay Pickpocket \
+-------------+-----+-----------------------------------+--------------------+
| SP Cost: 10 | Learned: Knife 13, Sword 8, Throw 15 | Element: Physical |

| Base Power: 50 | IP Knockback: 0000 | Cancel %: 00 | Casting Time: 30 |
+------------------+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Distance: Any | Range: Single Enemy | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: 10 tries to steal items from 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Steals an item from one enemy. Unlike a lot of other games, the |
| items you steal in Grandia are the same as the items that enemies drop, |
| which is very useful if you want to hunt for stat seeds, if you know which |
| enemies hold them. The success rate of Guido stealing an item is the same |
| as the drop rate of the item, but basically Guido will attempt to steal an |
| item ten times per use of this move. And the kicker? Enemies will still |
| drop items even if you steal from them. The only unfortunate part about |
| this skill is that it's only available to Guido, who is not the best party |
| member to begin with, and is only around for three storyline dungeons, and |
| if you so choose, the extra dungeons. |

+------------------+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Distance: Any | Range: Single Enemy | EXP Rate: 30 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Splendid critical attack on 1 enemy |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Deals massive Physical damage to one enemy. Liete shakes things |
| up by forgoing a Missile/V-Slash/Milda Kick-like move by opting for some- |
| -thing more along the lines of Midair Cut but with better Base Power. She |
| doesn't quite have the Strength to back up Redshock that Justin does for |
| Midair Cut, but it's still a splendid attack, regardless. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Required Weapons: Any of Liete's weapons. |

+------------------+--------------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Distance: Any | Range: All Enemies | EXP Rate: 20 |
+------------------+------------------------------------+--------------------+
| Radius: None | Description: Steals MP from 1 enemy for yourself |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Analysis: Absorbs about 4 MP for all magic levels from the enemy. This is |
| unique, but ultimately pointless. If you have 34 SP to spend, use it on |
| Redshock; you're not going to deal comparable damage with 4 SP for any |
| magic level, unless you're on the cusp of casting GadZap or something. In |
| those situations, sure, use Enchantment Dance. Otherwise, just stick with |
| Redshock. |

DEBUG MENU SHENANIGANS
[DEBUG]
==============================================================================
Using cheat codes, you can access a debug menu that lists pretty much every
spell, item, weapon, armor and accessory in the game along with hidden stats
for each spell and item. The following is a simple guide to reading those
stats. Accessing the debug menu is how I got all the Base Power values of each
spell and move, along with a large number of other values not represented
directly within the game.
USE-MP/SP : Value represents SP/MP cost of spells/moves.
ATTACK-IP : IP Knockback. IP Knockback values are huge.
USE_STATUS : Likely determines targeting.
FOR MOVES:
48H = Mist Hide
58H = Self
59H = One Enemy
5AH = One Enemy + Area
5BH = All Enemies
6BH = All Allies
6DH = One Other Ally (Cannot Target Caster)
73H = All Allies and Enemies (Vanish)
FOR MAGIC:
51H = One Enemy

53H = All Enemies
E1H = One Ally
E3H = All Allies,
61H = One Ally (buff?)
62H = One Ally + Area

Liete, Guido, Milda, Rapp, Gadwin, Sue, Feena, Justin.
0 = Unable to Learn
1 = Able to Learn.
JPN-2 : While google translating, the term "NOT USED" came up...
so it's probably unused.
MAGIC-TIME : Determines the amount of time needed to charge the skill. The
time needed to execute moves and magic lowers when you get more
stars next the move/magic.
POWER : Base power of technique.
ext-com : ??? -> Unknown right now. The value changes from skill to skill,
so it has to mean SOMETHING. What values correspond to what
skill will be answered at the end of this section.
AREA : Determines spell/special move range upon execution.
USE WEAPON : Determines needed weapon to use the move.
From left to right:
Throwing/Bows, Whips, Axes, Maces, Swords, Knives.

[FAQ01]
==============================================================================
*** IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO SEND ME A PM ON GAMEFAQS! ***
Q: Some skills have question marks in place of their level requirements. Why?
A: These skills are locked until certain story events have been completed.
-> Justin's skills are unlocked upon defeating Gadwin.
-> Feena's magic is unlocked after completing the dungeon, Grandeur.
Q: Where can I grind up my Water magic levels? I've progressed too far into
the game and cannot go back to [insert area]!
A: It's never too late to grind Water magic. Here's a somewhat comprehensive
list of all the locations you can take damage on the field:
Dom Ruins (Angry face blocks)
End of the World (Wall lasers!)
Valley of the Flying Dragon (Man-eating plants)
Mt. Typhoon (Poison water)
Volcano (Steam vents)
Tower of Doom (Lasers)
Castle of Dreams (Wall spikes in basement)
Abandoned Laine Village (Tentacles... ew!)
Icarian City (Collapsing energy ceiling)
Q: What's the best way to level up weapon/magic levels?
A: I will go over everybody:
Justin
Weapons : Using Dragon Cut on large hordes.
Fire : Using Dragon Cut on large hordes.
Wind : Using Howl on large hordes.
Water : On-field grinding. I recommend Tower of Doom.
Earth : Using Dragon Cut on large hordes.
Sue
Maces : Round Whacker/Puffy Fire.
Bows : Fire Away/Puffy Fire.
Fire : Puffy Fire
Wind : Using Howl on large hordes.
Water : On-field grinding. I recommend Mt. Typhoon.
Earth : Using Def-Loss on large hordes.
Feena
Whips : Fire Whip.
Knives : Random Hurl.
Fire : Fire Whip/Burnflame/Burnflare
Wind : Howl on large hordes/Runner on entire party.
Water : On-field grinding. I recommend Tower of Doom.
Earth : Tremor on large hordes.
Gadwin
Weapons : Dragon Cut!
Fire : Dragon Cut!
Earth : Def-Loss! Or Dragon Cut :P
Rapp
Sword/Knife : Doppelganger/normal combos
Throw : Sidethrow/Fireball
Fire : Fireball/Burnflame
Wind : Howl on large groups/Runner on entire party
Water : On-field grinding. I recommend Tower of Doom.
Earth : Def-Loss on large hordes.
Milda
Weapons : Splitter.
Guido
Weapons : Mogay Pickpocket / Mogay Bomb
Liete
Weapons : Redshock/normal combos
Fire : Burnflame
Wind : Howl on large hordes.
Water : On-field grinding. I recommend Castle of Dreams or
Icarian City.
Earth : Diggin' or Quake.
Q: You mention that you can steal stat seeds from certain enemies. Do you know
what those enemies are?
A: Sure thing. Here's a list (remember, they can DROP the seeds, too):
Seed of Magic -> Brain Bat, Layelah, Toad Demon
Seed of Moves -> Ghost
Seed of Defense -> Dragon Knight, Jackal
Fruit of Power -> Dragon Knight, Jackal
Fruit of Speed -> Naga Queen
Yes, these guys are all the really tough enemies found within the Tower of
Temptation. If you want to farm seeds and fruits, save often. Brain Bats
and Layelahs have the ability to totally annihilate your entire party. If
you see them charging BA-BOOM! or Zap All, run the hell away. Or, better
yet, make sure they never ambush you.
I've also seen some people say that Dragon Knights and Jackals might drop
a Seed of Power. I have never confirmed this myself, but just thought it
might be worth bringing up.
Q: Does equipping the Telescope extend the distance of special moves?
A: Unfortunately, no. All special moves that require being within striking
distance of the enemy have their own set distances that cannot be altered.
Q: Nobody ever asked you these questions, did they? You made them all up!
A: Yeah, nobody ever asked me the above questions. They're still frequently
asked, though! :(
