This guide's purpose is to offer translation for most of the Japanese terms
that appear in the game. I will assume anyone who uses this has NO knowledge
of Japanese whatsoever, so, instead of offering a Japanese word followed by
its translation, I'll list the translation first, as used on my walkthrough
for the game (also available on GameFAQs), followed by how it appears in the
game. Therefore, this guide is most helpful when used in conjunction with my
other guide.
Here I'll list every menu from the game and tell you briefly what each option
stands for. Lists are ordered either from left to right (i.e. the first entry
should correspond to the left-most option in the menu) in case the menus are
sorted horizontally (all of the picture-based menus are), or from top to
bottom in case the menu is sorted vertically.
