Introduction [INT]
============================================================
Hello, Woo-Jin Song again, I decided to write this particular FAQ due to
the request of VeghEsther and for anyone else who has the Japanese version
of Wild Arms: the Vth Vanguard. Note that these translations are not
official and when the US version gets released I will adjust my FAQ
accordingly to American translation, the official translations will be put
in parentheses where the name does not somewhat match up. To view the
Japanese text you will need to shift your browser to Shift-JIS now then on
to the purpose of this FAQ. If you have any questions or comments you can
send me an e-mail, but please make sure the game title is in the subject
header. As usual I do not want any spam, hate mail or junk.
