<The Game Flow>
Start it off from the general aspect, the Hanjuku Universe where you can select
different planets to go to.
Then we have possible event scene of the story to kick in.
Further, you arrive in the Planet Map with different areas to visit/check out.
Moreso, after select an area, you will taken onto the Field Area which is where
war battles are taken place.
While on the field, your goal is take over a spot or castle to end the mission.
After that, there is the Monthly Event.
Furthermore, there is possible boss fight at a field within an area. And within
a Planet, there is also possible dungeon for you to send in someone to explore
it out.
In the end, you are back to the Hanjuku Universe.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Field>
Here, you can move units around. Upper right corner is the mini map where you
can check out the environment. Remember, the rubber duck icon means your castle
which is the Katry De Omar. Then the various different colour flags would mean
other castles. Then there is the little house icon that means the boss castle.
At the upper left corner, there is the Calendar. It moves and once 30 days
passed, that is a month and that Monthly Event will kick in. When you pause the
game, or you are in the menu, it will stop. When you use R1 or R2, it will
speed up as well.
Let's talk about your own army's castle. Select it on field with circle would
promt you choices to move the castle itself or move your armies. Atempting to
move your armies, there will be a sub menu pop up showing all sort of stats.
Start from the top, there is that money you get monthly. Then, there is each
hero's unit, with their own formation as represented by the icon to the left
of the hero's name. Below that, there is the amount of soldiers for that army
has. After that, there are the generals' HPs/Heart, Stamina/Battery and last
of all, the Egg they have or not.
After you pick an army to move, there are more options: first is to move,
second is trump cards where you can adjust the equipment of the generals and
the last one just view the info/stats of the generals. If an unit is away from
the Katry De Omar, you can also get it to return.
If you point the cursor on other objects or castle, enemies, you can also check
out their info, such as how many units they got and what generals they got in
each unit...etc
On the field, there are objects like hotspring where events can trigger, then
there is the Momorith where you can catch then get Dr. Kyrie Fuder to make new
Trump Cards; Last of all, Original Product which can usually offer rare Trump
Cards for you to buy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Menu>
On the field, press Triangle to open up a menu. On top, there is each general
figure that represent each army/hero unit. Below that, there are all sort of
options you can check out.
Our Army's Stats, here you can view Trump Cards, Egg Monster Encyclopedia,
General Name Encyclopedia; Further more below those 3, there are the Year&Month
then Monthly Money you get, Total Money, Current Money, number of generals,
the small soldiers you got, and finally the enemy units number. There is also
a little window to the right of that, that explains a bit of the mission.
To the right of Our Army's Stats, there is the Castle/Locations View where you
can check out each places' locations.
Then there is the option again.
Next, it is the where you can save.
And finally, the last option allows you to escape from current field. However,
this doesn't always work.
Another set of menu is the "Monthly Hanjuku Eiyuu menu". You can do lots of
things with this menu. Aside from viewing your armies' info, edit your unit,
there are also options allow you to get soldiers, generals of either gender,
as well as getting rid of generals. Also, there are options to buy Trump Cards
then recover Eggs, revive them as well. Further more, you can finance either
that Katherine or Katherinue, then option/configuration, then to save your game
and finally, exit out this menu.
A bit on finance either Princess. Both of them have the costume transformation
ability which allow them to take on different outfits. Katherinue can take on
outfit of Cloud(FFVII), Gunner Yuna(FFX-2), Fran(FFXII), Tarutaru(FFXI),
Hero(DQ)...etc Besure to finance Katherinue alot to obtain these abilities that
you can get for Katherinue. In a dungeon, she can change to any of those at any
time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Edit Unit>
Here, you can edit units of your armies. Besides the protagonist, there are
also 6 other heros, surrounding the protagonist to fill that egg shape, also,
there is Sebastian.
After selecting one, you get to see that unit's generals and of course the hero
or the central figure at the middle. Here, you can view each person's Name,
HP, Attack, Stamina, Agility, Mentality, Wage, Hobby. There is also a Formation
but that's for protagonist and probably 1 of those other 6 as well. After that,
there is the Egg and Trump Card. To edit Eggs or Trumps, they work about the
same. Eggs have size where S takes one spot, M takes 2 spots and L takes 3,
as for Trump Cards, each one takes one spot. Some general can't equip Eggs,
however. To equip an Egg, you have to pick a kind and select the one you wish
to get. Each Egg has its Rank, Next Rank Exp, Size, HP, Attack, Defense,
Agility, Mentality and finally, Techs the Egg comes with. Trump Cards divide
into 4 kinds: Attack, Recover, Special and Equip. Then next, for most generals,
there is the Standby option where you put that person out of the unit and
switch in other general.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Battle>
On a field, make contact with an enemy unit or arrive at enemy castle, then
you can enter a battle. In a battle, you have the enemies with their generals
and our units with our generals. This is called The Barrage Ring Battle. Easily
press repeatedly or hold circle(if you pick auto at option), then move toward
the enemies to battle them while spending stamina with each press of the circle
button. At this sort of battle, there are also menus you can view to see the
Eggs you/enemies have or not, your/enemies units' generals' HPs, your/enemies'
stamina bar. How your armies form out are according to the Formation you have.
During this sort of battle, you can also call out a menu with the press of the
Triangle Button. You can select Egg to summon them out, use a Trump Card, to
retreat or that secret 'Inner Hand' option.
Now, aside from Barrage Ring Battle, there is the Command Battle which is much
more turn based, unlike Barrage Ring Battle's real time. On this sort of
battles, you can also view the Generals/Egg Monsters' HPs, Eggs' Availabilities
and a Tackle Meter, for both sides. With each turn, there is that menu that
gets you different commands: Attack, Assault, Egg, Trump Card, Inner Hand,
Retreat and Return Egg Monster.
Last of all, about the Tackle Meter. It basically tells whether you or the
enemy to get bonus turn and bonus damage(2x) corresponding to its location.
Right favors you, left favors the enemy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Dungeon>
There is in game dungeon for you to explore like most RPGs. In this game, you
can send in a general to explore it. Within one, there is the general and units
surrounding him/her, the HP value, the stamina bar also appear, as well as a
floor number, and a mini map. This works much like an action RPG. D-Pad and
Left Stick moves your character, Right Stick rotates the camera. Circle is to
attack with the spending of stamina. Triangle also open up a menu. Basically,
you explore around and find on-sceen enemies, in action RPG style. You can also
get into a Command Battle sometimes.
