1. Introduction Section of the game

This section helps other players on playing this game for the first time. This
is to help other players to start their games for this very unique JRPG.

(SPOILERS alert!)
a. The game begins with an unskippable cut-scene.
b. Then the player is allow to name the main character and his friends.
c. The game begins with a tutorial battle on the mechanics of the game,
especially the attacks and spells.
d. The second tutorial battle teaches the player on how to transform into an Oni
and their attacks.
e. The main character is then talking about he cannot transform yet while his
friends can already.
f. The player can choose to return to the main house which is at the upper left
house.
g. Follow the world map until you get to the temple at the upper left of the
map. There is an Oni recovery shrine that the player can use to replenish
[Oni Hearts] (鬼心) at the mid left of the map.
h. At the temple at the upper left of the map, there the characters will gain
stat boosting powers in the form of God (神) names. The guide will tell the
player that they can find God names throughout the game within jars or
trees on the map.
By gaining (?) points, the player can exchange points to boost their stats a
certain number. (see leveling up stats section below)
i. The introduction section ends here and chapter 1 begins.
j. The point of chapter 1 is to reach the temple in the upper left section of
the map and begin a dungeon with a boss at the end.
k. The player may want to boost the character's stats before entering the
dungeon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

2. Controls

Triangle button.
The Square button has no effect.
The Circle button confirms a selection.
The X button allows the player to return to a previous screen or exiting back to
the map mode.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Main Menu

This section is about the main menu that can be accessed in the game
when there is no battle occurring using the Triangle button. Here is the
original text of the main menu in the game and the translation of it
follows. Below this are the descriptions of what the menu options do
individually. These options are listed from top to bottom the same way
in the game in the main menu.

a. 相談 - Talk
b. 道具 - Items
c. 裝備 - Equipment
d. 法術 - Spells
e. 詳細 - Details
f. 神 - Gods
g. 設定 - Options

Here are the options and what each option does in the game. This is a
basic overview.

a. 相談 - Talk

This option allows the player to review what is happening and see the
interaction between the characters. It is basically a discussion
between the characters and their comments and what they are
thinking during the situation.

b. 道具 - Items

This option allows the player to review what items the currently has. All items
including unequiped equipment will be shown here.

c. 裝備 - Equipment

This option allows the characters to change their equipment such as weapons
and armor and clothes gained by the characters.

d. 法術 - Spells

This option allows the player to view all the spells for each character
available. Each character has a set of spells according to an element
such as wind, fire, or earth spells.

e. 詳細 - Details

This option allows the player to see all the status of the characters. It shows
the all the stats of the characters and information on weapons and
clothes the characters are wearing.

f. 神 - Gods

This option allows the player to see all of the name of Gods that the
player has collected so far and each status the name can boost
and decrease. These names relate to upgrading your characters
so try to find all of them. They can be used at the Japanese Buddhist
Jizo Figure (地藏) where the player can save and upgrade your
characters status (see section). For example, one God will increase
the number of hit points and strength of the character and another
God would lower the character's wind attribute.

g. 設定 - Options

This choice allows the player to change the graphic settings and volume
settings for the game.

---------------------------------------------------------

4. Jinzo Statue (地藏)

Jinzo Statues appear throughout the nearly all of the maps in the game.
There are three options for the Jinzo statues. All Jinzo statues in the game
have the same options. These options follow in the same order in the
game. These options are listed from top to bottom exactly the way they
appear in the game.

#1 記? ?? - Save
This is the save option. This allows the player to save the game on the
memory card in the first slot or the second slot.

#2 交 ? ?? - Level Up Status
This is where the player can use the god names they have found to upgrade
their characters. Each god affects the character's stats in a different way.

#3 何???? - Return to Map
This allows the player to return to the main map.
-------------------------------------------------------------

5. Leveling up stats

Within the game during the end of the introduction sequence, the characters
will gain the ability to find God names. The player can find God names
by moving towards items on the map such as jars and mats, or trees and
press X to find different God names that affect different sets of status. They
can also be found on the map and in item chests as well. For example, a
God name will increase only HP points and another God will increase MP
points and decrease WIND attribute points.

If a character's WIND, FIRE, EARTH, and WATER attributes are increased
to certain point, that character unlocks new attacks in that attribute. For
example if the main character's WIND is boosted, he will learn Thunder
attacks that his friends can use.

One way to help find God names is to use the rumble feature in a PS one
controller. When a God name is nearby on a map, the controller will vibrate
once per area. When you leave the map, you can return to the map and the
controller will vibrate if you didn't collect the God name earlier.

Each God name will have a different stat that it will boost or decrease a stat
or stats. The leveling system uses (?) points and the only way to gain these
points is to have all on-screen characters use their single targeted special
attack. When a character is in the transformed form use the colored and
highlighted attack to contribute to gaining (?) points. Then go to
the Japanese Buddhist Jizo Figure (地藏) and select the second option
and use the God names to level up the various stats of the characters.

The names of the Gods cannot gain levels and boost other stats. One God
has a different effect or a combination of effects on than another God.

------------------------------------------------------------

6. Battle Menu

This is the battle menu when the characters trigger a battle on the world map.
When the character triggers a battle, the screen turns a color then the
characters are in battle with monsters. These options are in order of
appearance from top to bottom as they appear in the game.

a. 攻? - Attack
b. 防禦 - Defense
c. 法術 - Spells
d. 神降 - "God Descent"??
e. 轉身 - Transform
f. 道具 - Items
g. 逃走 - Run Away

These are the options and what option can do during a turn in a battle.

a. 攻? - Attack
The command allows the character to do either a special attack or normal attack.
A special attack allows the character to perform a special elemental attack
that uses up MP.

b. 防禦 - Defense
The command allows the character to guard during this turn.

c. 法術 - Spells
The command allows access to the special elemental spells each character has
in their arsenal.

d. 神降 - God Descent ??
What this option does is unknown at this time. This section will be addressed in
future versions of this FAQ. It seems to allow the summoning of gods to do
something during the battle. It is inaccessible for the first section of the
game.

e. 轉身 - Transform
The command allows the character to transform into their Oni forms. Not all
characters are able to transform at the beginning. Transforming the character
will use up a certain meter called [Oni Hearts](鬼心) that cannot be
replenished unless there is an Oni recovery shrine on the world map.
During the same turn, you can transform back and forth, but it depletes
[Oni Hearts](鬼心) more during the turn.

When this meter is depleted, the character will go into berserk mode and
this will make the character that transforms uncontrollable.

f. 道具 - Items
The command allows the use of items during a battle phase. There are magic
points recovery items and hit points recovery items, but there are no
[Oni Hearts](鬼心) recovery points items.

g. 逃走 - Run Away
The command allows all members to escape battle.

------------------------------------------------------

7. Regaining Health and Spirit

Chapter 1
This is the default main character house name.
(天地丸 ? 家 )

The main character's house is the place to regain health and spirit, yet
the player cannot recover [Oni Hearts] (鬼心) for transforming into an Oni.
The main character's house is the upper left house in the village. These
options are from Chapter 1.

Mom and Dad are asking the main character would the main character
rest for the day or continue the play with his friends.
Mom offers the main character two choices. These choices are exactly
how the choices are laid out in the game.

#1 ?? - Continue without regaining health and spirit. This option will continue
the
game without replenishing health and magic.

#2 - Choose this option to rest and regain health and spirit. This option ends
the day the characters are in and they continue their adventure the next day
and begin again.

Chapter 2
In the Mirror World

These options are at the beginning of the dungeon that can be accessed
by pressing x at the glowing orb that calls itself the Mirror God.

#1 回複 ?? - Recover health and spirit. This option will fully replenish health
and magic.

#2 記? ?? - Save game. This option will save the game.

#3 交? ?? - Level-up using God names. The choice is worded differently
from the Jinzo Statue menu.

#4 今 ????- Return to map. This option will return the characters to the
current map.

Have a great time with this game.
