Tales of Rebirth　テイルズ　オブ　リバ一ス　 Battle Mechanics/Sub Events FAQ Version 1.33 by Lanyn (talesofhope@gmail.com) My Tales of Rebirth project on Youtube for the curious and the bored: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=lanyn If you are new to the world of Rebirth and you don't read anything else, I urge you to check out the Battle Basics under the Gameplay Mechanics section. It'll save you a lot of heartache later, trust me. COPYRIGHT NOTICE: Copyright 2008 (Esther J.

Worry not, I will get through them in time. And I know that it's SO obvious, but I actually do have a reason for skipping around like that. *cough* Right. ~This is stuff that's been modified/added to/corrected since the last update. =============================================================================== 1) About the game [ABO000] =============================================================================== Tales of Rebirth (PS2) was released in Japan on December 16, 2004 as the sixth installment of the main "Tales of" series by Namco Bandai (or Bamco, as I like to call them). While the game contains many features which are staple for the series (e.g. cooking, skits, Grade), Rebirth also has its own share of quirks (e.g. Enhancement, the Force Cube, super-obsessive male protagonists). The game carries a heavy theme of racism so if you're one of those sensitive people, think happy thoughts and don't chuck anything at me or the TV. A PRP port with some smallish extras was released in Japan on March 19th, 2008, but no word on an English localization thus far. There is more information about the PSP release in the fourth section of this FAQ and in the Frequently Asked Questions Section. In the meantime (or in the worst case scenario), you have two options in terms of a translation. There's Spekio's FAQ located here on GameFAQs, which I would highly recommend reading unless you have a fear of very large text files (it's a couple hundred pages I think). The other option is me...or rather, my work; I am currently subbing the main storyline of Rebirth (including the skits) and putting them up on Youtube. The translation that I'm using for my videos is a mix between Spekio's FAQ and my own interpretation of the text, so some of the terminology and such will obviously differ. Anyway, if you want to take a look, the link to my Youtube channel is at the top of the FAQ. I'm also in the process of typing up the script that I used for my videos (what I've completed of the script is up on GameFAQs right now, BTW...it's listed under the ToR PSP guides), but it's gonna take me a while to catch up to where I am with the videos, so bear with me here. As for the change of heart about typing up the script...it actually had more to do with the fact that I got some new software which sped up the process significantly. Anyway, because I'm evil, I'll be referencing my videos quite a bit in this FAQ but more on that in a second. =============================================================================== 2) How to use this guide [HOW000] =============================================================================== To start things off, I guess I should mention that this is my first written FAQ ev...wait, come back! Yeesh, let me finish already, will ya? *ahem* Yep, this would be my first one, so I apologize if it looks like I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Comforting thought, huh? Anyway, this guide is intended to be used as a supplement to the other Rebirth FAQs. Essentially, I'm trying to cover material that hasn't been covered in other guides; also, if there is an option on the main menu that isn't self-explanatory for most RPG players out there (e.g. Skills, Enhance, etc.), then it will likely have a section in this FAQ. For the stuff that has been sufficiently covered elsewhere, I'll make things really simple: I'm either going to tell you to read someone else's FAQ and/or direct you to one of my tutorial videos. Why? Because I'm lazy like that. And sometimes it's easier for me to show you something rather than to explain it with words, especially with the battle system. In light of the recent PSP release, I have tried to make this guide as applicable for both versions of the game as possible; ToR PSP is a port, not a remake, so many of the same concepts that drive the battle system will apply to both versions of the game. I will make note of any differences when necessary though. Also, I'll try to make this guide as accessible as possible for those of you who don't speak a lick of Japanese, but in general I would recommend that you at least know Katakana just in terms of being able to play the game. Knowledge of Hiragana and basic recognition of Kanji are even better. And if you happen to be fluent...wait, why the heck are you reading this anyway? Finally, feel free to send me any questions/corrections/suggestions that you have about this guide; the email addy is at the top of the FAQ. Please please please do not ask me to translate a whole bunch of crap for you...I'm not an online dictionary and thus should not be used as such. If you ask me a question and it's already been addressed here or elsewhere, don't be too offended when I redirect you. And do type in "standard" English...that way, the spam filter is less likely to catch it and I'll be able to give you a better response. By the way, that isn't my regular email address, so don't bite my head off if I don't respond within literally 10 minutes of receiving your message (believe it or not, this has happened on several occasions). =============================================================================== 3) Frequently Asked Questions [FAQ000] =============================================================================== Some of these I've actually been asked, but the rest of them are the result of my paranoia. Be glad that the list is as short as it is. Q: Will you be adding a ______ section to this guide? A: Honestly, it depends on a couple of things. If it's something that I feel has been covered sufficiently in another FAQ and I don't have anything to add to it, then the chances are pretty much next to nil. Because, well, it would be pointless, right? Also, I like to feel like I'm actually getting something accomplished, so I probably won't add any more sections until I make some decent progress on the ones that I have yet to complete (e.g. the Sub Events section). I've thought about adding a section for the mini-games and Cyglorg's Chambers (the optional dungeon that looks like a ransacked Toys 'R' Us). But don't be shy and free feel to send me suggestions, although I make no guarantees or anything. I'm usually nice...except for when I'm not, of course. Q: How often are you going to update this thing anyway? A: I, uh, was aiming for at least once a week, but looks like I already messed that one up. Anyway, I try to make the updates worthwhile, so I'm not going to submit a revision just for the sake of having one. If it's been more than a month though, it probably means that a soccer mom driving a full-size SUV ran me over while she was trying to use her cell phone, spank her kids in the back seat, and drink her Starbucks at the same time. Truth or sarcasm? You decide. Q: Does the Grade that you spend at the Grade Shop get refunded during your next playthrough like it does in Tales of Symphonia? A: I've been seeing this one quite a bit lately, so here's the answer: no, it doesn't. However, the Grade that you don't spend DOES carry over. To be honest, if you purchase the option that doubles your Grade and you play halfway decently, you should be able to buy everything worth getting when you finish your second playthrough anyway. Q: So what's this Dramatic Peach Pie DVD thing I keep hearing about? A: It's the pre-order bonus that was supposed to come with the PSP port of Rebirth that Play-asia decided not to give to me. No, I'm not bitter or ANYTHING. *ahem* Anyway, it contains a cute little scene with Veigue, Eugene, Mao, Tytree, Milhaust, and even a cameo-ish appearance by Saleh. There's also a new trailer for Tales of Vesperia, a recipe for how to make a peach pie, and some other stuff I'm forgetting about at the moment. Thorough is my middle name, I tell ya. Anyway, more details pending once I get my grubby hands on a copy. As for where you can find a subbed version of the Peach Pie DVD...ptilol and I are currently working something out. ^^ Q: Do you know where ______ is on the World Map? I can't find it! A: Fear not, zer83, our resident ToR Map Man, has an answer for you all! Thanks again for letting me steal your find, zer83! ^^ Note that zer83 nor I am responsible for the creation of the map, but zer83 did type up all the locations and such for us. http://www.matukin.com/image/tor_world_map_basic.jpg Red Numbers: 1: Sulz 2.

Where can I go if I need answers now? A: First off, I would check out the other Tales of Rebirth FAQs here on GameFAQs (or wherever). Most of them are very helpful and I purposely try not to have too much overlap with them, so chances are you'll see something that you won't find in this guide. If you've done that already and you want a "personal" answer, a good place to start (and probably the best place to ask) is the Tales of Rebirth PSP Message Board on GameFAQs. Note that you can also ask on the ToR PS2 board, but it appears that most of the traffic has migrated to the PSP board ever since the PSP port was released. You can also try asking the question in the ToR PS2/PSP Discussion/Speculation Thread over on the Namco Tales Forums. DO READ THE FORUM RULES first though; while we all have to start somewhere, it is quite annoying to see a bunch of newbies creating threads with headers like "OMG! I dunt no waht FG and RG r!!!11111" and you might get a rather hostile welcome that way. Keep in mind that there are a significant number of people who post in the ToR thread who have never played the game, so don't feel offended if someone doesn't know the answer or whatever. Lastly, you can try emailing the authors of the FAQs, although I've had lukewarm success with this personally. Rebirth did originally come out in 2004, so many of the FAQ writers have surely moved on to bigger and better things. Except for me since I'm in denial but that's a whole different story. Q: Did you really pull off all of those Duel the Sun extensions by yourself? A: Yes, I did. I lost a couple clumps of hair, but that's okay because there are probably a couple of other people who share my baldness...you know who you are. =P Q: Any other bits of wisdom that you'd like to share with the world? A: Ooh, I get to talk about random stuff? ^^ Okay, brace yourselves then! -If you die and you auto-cook at the end of battle (i.e. that green bar pops up), you'll be brought back to life for free. Normally you stay dead after the fight, so you have to use a Life Bottle or sleep at the inn in order to revive them. -MAKE SURE TO LEAVE SOME SPACE IN YOUR INVENTORY before major boss fights and while you're doing Sub Events! You can lose some very nice accessories such as the Distortion Orb and Veigue's talismans this way. Whatever it is, just be certain that you have enough room to carry it because for some silly reason, the game doesn't warn you that you're out of space (this mostly is a problem with the jewels and your accessories). Valuable items have their own little alloted space though, so you don't have to worry about them at least. -You know how enemies sometimes make Circles that are similar to Annie's? Well, they work in the same way except that they usually lower your status instead of boosting the status of the enemies. Some of them can also inflict status ailments, so you may want to be careful before you just charge into one. -Ever notice how some save points are white and some are sort of a reddish color? You can actually rest at the reddish color ones, so take advantage of them when they're around. =============================================================================== 4) Differences between the PS2 and PSP versions [DIF000] =============================================================================== I'm going to attempt to compile most of the major differences between the two versions of Rebirth here. Some of this is going to be personal observation, but a lot of it will be taken from stuff that I'm reading from the boards and info that was mentioned prior to the game's release. I'll do my best to verify what I can, but keep in mind that I am currently subbing the PS2 version and that takes priority for me. Speaking of which, let me mention stuff that DIDN'T change. As far as I've heard and can tell, no changes were made to the actual battle system (except for the reconfiguration of some of the buttons, obviously). The storyline, for better or worse, made it through intact as well. I've been told that a very small portion of dialogue was added towards the end of the game, but otherwise the original script seems to have been left untouched. In other words, the script for the PSP version is practically the same as the one used for the PS2 version. Most of the bugs seem to have carried over as well (the cooking bug, the Ougis bug, etc) aside from cap on the Battle Encounter (although I doubt that qualifies as a bug, even though everyone likes to treat it like one). The Duel the Sun Extensions for the PSP port are the same except for the fact that you press the L button instead of the L2 button for the Blue Earth Extension (and yes, you still have to press all 5 buttons 11 times). For the curious, apparently Hilda performs all of the extensions by herself in ToR PSP. Let's see, good changes found in the PSP version...an arena was added (can be found in the Minal gym, but it's only accessible after the completion of all of the trials; there is apparently no cameo battle, BTW), there are some new weapons (e.g. the Jewel of Gardios) and titles, and the game is now widescreen (which makes sense). There are also some new Hi-Ougi cut-ins for friend and foe alike, an Illustration Book (found in the basement of Claire's house at the beginning of the game), and there is now a LOAD option on the Main Menu (don't mistake this for the SAVE option!). They also changed how the saved data appears on your memory card, so the picture looks different depending on where you are in the storyline. There are now some new options in the Grade shop (thanks to RPGmonkey for posting the list for the Tales board! ^^): All Damage Halved (10 Grade), Experience Halved (100 Grade), Item Capacity 20 (1000 Grade), Item Capacity 30 (2000 Grade), and Reset Battle Encounter Number (10 Grade). Oh, they also increased the limit on the Battle Encounter since it can now go over 10,000...I have no idea what the new limit is, although I guess it really doesn't matter since they put in the new Grade Shop option there. x32 DAMAGE weapons FTW!!! In addition, the third word puzzle (the one by the flower cart that had to do with the seasons) was removed for the PSP version. Hmm, the not-so-good additions to the PSP version...the load times and the music. Not that I wasn't expecting this, but there are now some slight but noticeable load times at the start and finish of each battle. The slowdown doesn't happen every time you get in a fight, so I don't know if there's something specific that causes it but I have yet to figure out what's triggering it. The most jarring of the delays is probably revolves around the victory quotes; sometimes it takes the game several seconds to load the voices. As for the music, only two songs in particular seem to have suffered from the transfer: Battle Organization (the random encounter battle music for the first portion of the game) and Fanfare A (the one that plays when you don't earn any Grade). They're not bad persay, but it sounds like there are some instruments missing or something. I noticed that the in-game sound effects are a bit weak too, but that's just a nitpick. So which version is better, you may ask? To be honest, they're essentially the same game, but the PSP version probably has the slight advantage for most people due to the extras and the lack of region locking for the system. Most of the complaints I noted are minor and people playing the game for the first time on the PSP may not even be aware that those are issues that didn't exist in the PS2 version. My personal preference is for the PS2 version at this point, but that's more because small, expensive electronic devices and I don't get along too well. Anyway, your call. =============================================================================== 5) Gameplay Mechanics [GAM000] =============================================================================== Ah, the fun part. I'm just going to lay this out flat for everyone: if you're one of those people who thinks that Dragon Quest games has mind-blowing gameplay, then Rebirth is probably not the best game for you to try. And I'm not saying this just because the game is in Japanese (although that greatly complicates matters for us importers); Rebirth happens to utilize one of the most complex, integrated battle systems known to geekdom. BUT if you're like me and you have a thing for the new, the innovative, the quirky, and the KUREA scream, then Rebirth will consume your soul (or whatever's left of it, since video games are inherently evil and everything *cough*). If that sounds good, then keep reading. ******************************************************************************* PART A: THE BASICS [GAMa00] First and foremost, check out this tutorial that I slapped together. People have told me that it was very helpful (you guys wouldn't lie to me, now would you?) and it's only 5 minutes long, so just watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88mSwkpszzA In case you're one of those people who don't read the video info, this is based on the PS2 version of the game (i.e. some of the button configs differ for the PSP port) and you will have to use the pause button. A lot. Just bear with it, okay? General explanations for the following appear in the video: Basic Controls, FG, RG, defense, HP Recovery, Ougis, and just a smidgen on Force Cube Effects. I'm going to elaborate a bit more here, but that should have answered most of the questions you may have about the Rebirth's battle system. The full list of Force Cube Effects for each character can be found in Spekio's FAQ, so I'm not going to repeat that here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MOVEMENT DURING BATTLE [GAMa01] As you saw in the video, Rebirth utilizes a Three-Line Linear Motion battle system, which is sort of a compromise between the Linear Motion Battle System found in Tales of Phantasia (and most 2D fighters) and the Multi-Line Linear Motion Battle System seen in Tales of Symphonia. It is really, really easy to die during a random battle if you manage to get sandwiched so learn how to effectively move between the lines in order to avoid attacks and combo your enemies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORCE GAUGE (FG) [GAMa02] The Force Gauge (FG) is unique to Rebirth and replaces the traditional TP found in other Tales games. Your FG will recover throughout the battle at a rate that is determined by which Skill (JUTSUWAZA) is assigned to each FG. Skills with a smaller "FG" parameter (you can see the parameters of each Skill by pressing the SQUARE button on the screen with the Force Cube on it) will recover FG more quickly (i.e. they consume less FG, in a sense). For example, the Skill Zehhyoujin has an FG value of 100 while the Skill Mueishou has an FG value of 300. Therefore, an FG with Zehhyoujin assigned to it would fill up 3 times faster than an FG with Mueishou on it. Also, you will get a sudden boost in FG Recovery right after you or one of your allies defeats an enemy. Other ways to increase your FG Recovery include using Annie's Skill Charge Wind, equipping jewels, Enhancing the FG Recovery Stat on your weapons, having FG Recovery Latent Abilities (LAs) on your weapons, taking advantage of certain Force Cube Effects (e.g. Mental), and fiddling with your battle formation. There are also recipes which will recover FG. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RUSH GAUGE (RG) [GAMa03] The Rush Gauge (RG) acts kind of like an Overlimit Gauge in Rebirth, but it does more than just regulate your Skills/Ougis. As you saw, RG is intimately related to your HP Recovery, defense, and Ougi usage. When you're in the Cool Charge state (RG=0), you will experience the following effects: -Give and take less damage (x1.0) -Increased HP Recovery (x2.0) -Your attacks won't have any effect on the enemies' RG level -Reduced preparation/casting time for Skills and Ougis (x1.0) -You'll recover from negative status ailments faster (x0.5) -You cannot block any successive attacks (that was the guard break that I showed you) When your RG is at 50, you will experience the following effects: -Give and take "average" damage (x1.1) -Normal HP Recovery (x1.0) -Your attacks will slightly increase the enemies' RG level (x1.0) -"Average" preparation/casting time for Skills and Ougis (x1.15) -You'll recover from negative status ailments at an "average" rate (x1.0) -You can block an "average" number of successive attacks When you're in the Rush Charge state (RG=100), the effects are as follows: -Give and take more damage (x1.2) -No HP Recovery -Your attacks will greatly increase the enemies' RG level (x2.0) -Prolonged preparation/casting time for Skills and Ougis (x1.3) -You'll recover from negative status ailments at a slower rate (x2.0) -You can block many successive attacks You can manipulate your RG directly or indirectly during battle (both shown in the video). Other factors that influence your RG include recipes, particular LAs, the enemies' defensive properties, and the environment (e.g. your RG tends to be much higher in warmer climates like the desert and much lower in cooler areas such as the mountains or inside of caverns). Under certain conditions, your RG will sometimes change to a predetermined level. -Rush Burst (aka Rush Charge, RG=100): After being in this state for about 7 seconds --> RG will become 50. -Cool Down (aka Cool Charge, RG=0): If you take any damage --> RG will become 50. -Poison: While poisoned, your RG will continue to rise. Even if cured, your RG level will remain high. -Frozen: The instant that you are freed (e.g. take damage) --> RG will become 14. -Panic/Stun: When you recover from being stunned --> RG will become 50. -Burst Bottle: Right after you use one --> RG will become 100 (i.e. Rush Burst/Rush Charge). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HP RECOVERY [GAMa04] You can increase your HP Recovery by using Annie's Skill Life Materia, lowering your RG, equipping jewels, Enhancing the HP Recovery Stat on your armors, having HP Recovery LAs (e.g. HP Heal Up) on your armors, using a Lime Gummi, and fiddling with your battle formation. Ways to directly recover HP include cooking, taking advantage of certain Force Cube Effects (e.g. Heal), using HP Restoring Gummies (e.g. Apple, Peach, Grape), and having HP Restoring LAs on your armors (e.g. HP +6%). ******************************************************************************* PART B: ADVANCED BATTLE TECHNIQUES [GAMb00] Finally put a video together for this. You can either read this first or watch the video. This has more details in it, but the video has some visual and auditory cues that I can't exactly describe here, so it's your call. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS9KxtbV6EI ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL SMASH [GAMb01] A Technical Smash (TS) is another way for the game to evaluate your fighting performance. Like Grade, certain criteria must be met before you are awarded a TS. Here they are in order from least to most difficult: -Burst: Defeat an enemy while your RG=100. TS % Boost=2 -# Chains: Defeat an enemy with a combo attack. For example, if you kill an enemy after doing a normal 3 chain combo attack + a Skill --> 4 Chains. If you kill an enemy after doing a normal 3 chain combo attack + a Skill + an Ougi --> 5 Chains. If you kill an enemy after doing a 4 chain combo attack (say you activated the SF for Risotto) + a Skill + an Ougi --> 6 Chains. TS % Boost= [2x(number of combo attacks)] divided by 8 (Notice that # has to be greater than or equal to 4 before you are given a TS Boost). By the way, the game does round up any time there's a decimal (so 5 Chains gives you +3%). -# Group: Defeat a group of enemies at the same time with a single attack. If you defeat 2 enemies at once --> 2 Group. TS % Boost= [2x(number of enemies killed at the same time)] minus 1. -No Damage: Defeat an enemy without taking any damage from that particular enemy. TS % Boost=1 -High Speed: Defeat an enemy within 5 seconds of the start of the battle. TS % Boost=1 -Triangle: Attack an enemy with an attack chain consisting of 3 different strikes (i.e. push the directional pad in 3 different directions when pressing the CIRCLE button), and defeat the enemy on the third strike. For example, CIRCLE, CIRCLE + Up, CIRCLE + Back ---> kills the enemy. TS % Boost=2 -Cool: Defeat an enemy while your RG=0. TS % Boost=4 -Finality: Defeat an enemy with a Hi-Ougi. TS % Boost=7 So what do all these TS % Boosts do anyway? Well, there's a guy in Minal who gives you items for completing your Battle Book data, which includes item drops from enemies (See Sub Event #2 for details). Among those items that he gives you are some talismans for Veigue which give him access to Skills that he normally can't use (e.g. Demon Fang). You also earn a title for finishing 150 entries. The main purpose of those TS % Boosts is to increase your item drop rate (TS also slightly increases the amount of Smash Points that you gain from using a Skill, but it's nothing to write home about). So say that my normal item acquisition rate was 10% and I managed to get 5 Chains, No Damage, and Triangle for one of the enemies. My TS % Boost was 1+1+2=4%, so my new item drop rate for that particular enemy would have been 14%. This can be important for completing the data for some of those more rare encounters (*coughCyglorg'sChamberscough*) if you don't like to use the LAs Robber Item and Dacoity Item. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GRADE [GAMb02] There are 8 different criteria for earning Grade, and each of them are worth a certain amount of base Grade depending on the difficulty of the conditions. Here's the format that I'm going to use to list the criteria: [Type of Grade Bonus (Base Grade Earned): Description of Criteria] 10 HITS OVER! (1.20): You must execute a combo consisting of at least 11 hits. 25 HITS OVER! (5.00): You must execute a combo consisting of at least 26 hits. 5 CHAIN FINISH! (2.00): Defeat an enemy with a 5+ Chain Combo (usually normal 3 Chain Attack + Skill + Ougi)...see the section on Technical Smashes above if this doesn't make sense. FULLHP FINISH! (1.40): Everyone in the party must have full life at the end of the battle. NO DAMAGE FINISH! (1.60): You must defeat all of the enemies without taking a single point of damage (i.e. you cannot block any attacks either since you still take damage...I'm assuming that you aren't using the Silver Gauntlet here). 10 SECONDS FINISH! (2.30): Finish the battle within 10 seconds or less. 30 SECONDS FINISH! (1.00): Finish the battle within 30 seconds or less. NO GUARDED FINISH! (1.20): Defeat all of the enemies without letting any of them guard against your attacks. The amount of Grade that you earn also depends on your Battle Rank. The higher the Rank, the more Grade you will earn. These are the various multipliers for each level of difficulty: Easy= 0.8 Normal= 1.0 Hard= 1.2 Mania= 1.4 Unknown= 1.6 To calculate the maximum amount of Grade that you could earn, you simply multiply the Base Grade Earned by the multiplier for your Battle Rank. So for instance, a 10 SECONDS FINISH! could give you 1.84 Grade on Easy, 2.30 Grade on Normal, 2.76 Grade on Hard, 3.22 Grade on Mania, and 3.68 Grade on Unknown. Notice how I said it was the max Grade possible; despite popular belief, you can lose Grade in Rebirth; the game docks off Grade points for certain actions such as using items. However, the total amount of Grade that you receive for the battle will never go below zero. So no negative Grade for you; instead, you get the sad Fanfare A at the end of the battle. *sniff* Also, the amount of Grade that you receive for boss/event battles is multiplied by 10, so the same criteria that would give you 5.0 Grade in a normal battle would give you a whopping 50 Grade during a boss fight. I have some theories about how the Grade deductions are calculated, but I didn't get this information from the official guide or any other reliable source. So, uh, don't fillet me if my calculations are a bit off or if I'm just plain wrong. All of my speculation is the stuff is sort of sectioned off so you know what to igno...er, take with a grain of salt. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Using an item: -0.08 Grade per item used (-0.80 for boss battles) Dying: Somewhere between -1.0 to -1.5 Grade per death And if anyone is just dying to know where I got those numbers for the deductions they came from my battle with Eephon. I had finished the battle with the same criteria in another playthrough (10 HITS OVER! and 25 HITS OVER!) without dying or using any items on Mania and I received 169 Grade. In the fight that I have on Youtube, I died twice, used two items, and took quite a bit more damage, and received 164.80 Grade(thus the difference in Grade being 4.20). The 0.20 I'm attributing to me getting my butt whooped. I am more certain about the Grade deduction for using an item now since I got a 10 Hits Over! bonus on Normal, used 1 item, and ended up getting 1.12 Grade instead of 1.20 like I would have normally expected. I'll update the numbers for dying once I figure that out, but I'll leave it be for now. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Okay, back to the kosher stuff. For you Grade farmers out there, you cannot earn a buttload of Grade in Rebirth by picking on the weakest enemies in the game for hours on end (and don't any of you try to deny it either!). Each area has a "set" amount of Grade that you can earn, and you can check what fraction of Grade you have earned for any particular section by looking at the second choice under the "Battle Book" option on the main menu. Rebirth does not reward players who tend to repeat their actions either; once you have earned Grade for a particular set of enemies, you can't earn more Grade by meeting the same criteria for that set of enemies. For example, say I have the following sets of enemies: Set A: 2 birds Set B: 1 plant and 1 bug Set C: 3 birds Suppose I earn the FULLHP FINISH! bonus while fighting Set A. I get my 1.something Grade and everything's dandy. However, even if I met Set A again and finished the battle with everyone at full life, I wouldn't get a FULLHP FINISH! because I've already met that criteria for this set of enemies. But I could still get FULLHP FINISHES! for Sets B and C since I haven't met that criteria yet. In other words, it is possible to earn all 8 Grade Bonuses for every unique set of enemies for a particular area, but each Bonus can only be "redeemed" once per set of enemies; this is why every area has a finite amount of Grade. So say that there are 10 unique sets of enemies in a particular area. There are 8 different Grade requirements per enemy set and if we just assume each Grade requirement to be equal to 1 (for the sake of simplicity), then the total amount of available Grade for this area would be 10*8=80. This is similar to how our Grade earnings for a certain section are shown in the Battle Book. To view this list, go to the Battle Book option on the main menu (the center one on the bottom row) and scroll down to the second line. You see a whole bunch of fractions off to the right side, yes? This indicates a ratio of how much Grade you've earned over the total amount of Grade available for each area of the game. If you're really masochistic, you can max out your Grade earnings for each section, but you shouldn't have to unless you're trying to buy everything in the Grade shop on your first playthrough (which might not even be possible, but I'm too lazy to sit here and add that many numbers up). You may be thinking to yourself, well if Grade earnings are dependent on the enemy set, then how do I know when I've earned all of the Grade for any given set? Well, this is where the tutorial video comes in handy. There are 3 different battle fanfares that play depending on your Grade earnings for that set of enemies. Fanfare A will play if you failed to meet any new criteria for that enemy set, and there are criteria that are still left to be met. For my sanity, I'm going to refer to the criteria as criterias A-H instead of listing the full names from here on. So say that I meet enemy set A as listed above (2 birds) for the first time and I met Criterias A, B, and D for this set(I'm going to refer to this situation as EXAMPLE A). If I fight set A again and I meet Criteria B again, then I'll get Fanfare A. If I were to fight Set A a third time and I failed to meet any of the requirements for Criterias C, E, F, G, or H, then I would hear Fanfare A too. Should I bump into Set A yet a fourth round and met Criterias A, B, and D, but not C, E, F, G, or H, I'd still get Fanfare A. Basically, Fanfare A is telling me that I suck. Well, not necessarily, but it IS saying that there's at least one Criteria for Set A that I just haven't met the requirements for yet. Okay, back to EXAMPLE A. Say I meet Set A and I meet Criterias A and F; I would then hear Fanfare B. For the most part, Fanfare B indicates that I met at least one new Criteria for this set of enemies (there is one exception to this, but I'll talk about that in a little bit). Notice that it doesn't matter whether I met a Criteria that I had met previously (in this case, Criteria A). Returning to EXAMPLE A. Pretend like I'm having a stellar playing day and I meet Criterias C, E, F, G, and H in one battle. I would then hear the elusive Fanfare C, which only plays once you've met all 8 criteria for a given set of enemies. Keep in mind that you don't have to meet the criteria all in one battle...I'm just giving this example because it saves me some typing. Also note that Fanfare C will only play at the end of the battle where the last of the criteria is/are met. If you meet Set A again after you've met all 8 Grade requirements, then Fanfare B will play instead, but NO GRADE WILL BE EARNED. In other words, no matter how many more times I meet Set A or how many criteria I may meet again, I won't get squat in terms of Grade. In essence, you've already earned all of the Grade that Set A had to offer. And before anyone starts panicking, the available Grade for each area resets when you begin a new playthrough, so you're not totally screwed if you're good at earning Grade. That being said though, since Grade is limited, it's best to play on the most challenging difficulty level that you can if you want to get the most bang for your buck (particularly for those boss fights) because of the way the Grade multipliers work. However, if you just can't get a NO DAMAGE FINISH! on Unknown for a set of enemies no matter how hard you try, you may want to consider toning down the difficulty to Mania or Hard and see if you can meet the Robinso...er, criteria that way. After all, some Grade is better than none, right? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HI-OUGIS [GAMb03] Similar to Technical Smashes and Grade: Hi-Ougis have certain requirements which must be met before they are "bestowed" upon the player. You won't be able to manually execute a Hi-Ougi until after a particular point in the storyline (after your sixth and final member joins your main party). First off, there's a hidden counter that the game keeps which must reach 100 before you are able to use a Hi-Ougi. You gain 7 "Hi-Ougi" points every time a Latent Ability on your equipment awakens, and you receive 3 points when you avoid taking large amounts of damage during battle. The second requirement is that there must be only one enemy remaining on the battlefield. The Hi-Ougis are meant to end the battle (hence the Finality Charge Break! part), so it won't trigger if you have 3 or 4 little monsters running around. The third requirement is that the characters who are capable of performing a Hi-Ougi must be able to take action. In other words, if your mage is in the process of chanting or your fighter has been stunned/frozen/negative status ailmented, you won't be able to pull off a Hi-Ougi. I believe that this also implies that at least one of your characters who is going to be involved with the Hi-Ougi must be close to the enemy. The fourth and final requirement is that if you're fighting a Boss, he/she/it must have less than 10% of its total life remaining before the Hi-Ougi will be available (assuming that you still meet the first 3 requirements when that happens). There are 3 things that can cause your Hi-Ougi counter to reset (i.e. become zero). In other words, you will lose your Hi-Ougi if you do any of the following: 1) If you wait more than 1 minute to press the X button after the Finality Charge Break! message appears on the screen. 2) *If you use an item. 3) If one of the characters that was going to be a part of the Hi-Ougi dies during the battle. *I'm not so sure about this one based on personal experience since I've had Hi-Ougis trigger shortly after using an item. Maybe it depends on who actually uses the item? On the flip side, you can trigger Hi-Ougis more easily by doing as such: 1) Use equipment that have Latent Abilities with high Awakening Rates. 2) Directly control the character that you want to do the Hi-Ougi with. 3) Stay within close proximity of the character who will be your partner for the Hi-Ougi. One more random note: an enemy glows red when it has less than 25% of its total HP remaining (it looks different from a Rush Charge though). This is an indication that the enemy is almost dead and thus helps you predict when a Hi-Ougi may pop up. ******************************************************************************* PART C: ENHANCEMENT AND INHERITANCE [GAMc00] For this, I'm going to refer you to Gyser's FAQ and this video, which is pretty much a shorter, moving version of the written FAQ: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjcinmXrCnM Stuff that you'll see in the video are as follows: How to acquire EP and Bonus EP, Enhance Basics and Latent Abilities, Inherit Basics, Normal vs Special Inheritance, Special Inherit Effects, and Irregular Equipment. There is one error that I noticed recently...in the video, I mistakenly wrote that the Normal Inheritance for your Latent Ability (LA) will increase the Awakening Rate for that particular LA (i.e. you would have to get the same LA again in order to get any benefit from the Inheritance). What I SHOULD have said is that the Normal Inheritance will boost the Awakening Rate of whatever LA is on the piece of equipment that is created from or enhanced by the Inheritance. So for example, say that piece of equipment A has the LA x2 Damage and that it would normally start with an Awakening Rate of 5.23%. If you Inherited piece B that had 5 Enhancements on the Awakening Rate of its LA (let's just say it's FG Heal, but it could be anything) into piece A and a Normal Inheritance occurred, then the Awakening Rate for the LA x2 Damage on piece A would now be something like 6.45% when it comes out. I received a request to list the Kanji for the Latent Abilities so that it would be easier to identify them in-game. Gyser has already written a thorough guide on the subject, so this is intended to be used just as a quick reference; if you want more details, go check out his ToR Enhance-Inherit FAQ. Gyser gave me permission to borrow portions of his FAQ, so the English translations for the LAs are based on his guide for the most part. The format for this is self-explanatory, so here goes. I've also gotten requests for a type up of the various Inheritance Effects (e.g. Get Once Awakening or whatever it's called)...I'll put it in the queue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEAPON LATENT ABILITIES [GAMc01] 1. ダメ一ジ２倍(x2 DAMAGE): Normal attacks and Skills will deal 2x the damage 2. 自分のＲＧ-２０(RG -20): Lowers your own RG by 20 3. 敵のけぞり時間＋０.５秒(HOLD +0.5): Extends the period an enemy is immobile after being hit by 0.5 seconds 4. ダメ一ジに比例したＨＰ回復(HEAL HP): Recover HP equal to half of the damage dealt to the enemy 5. アイテムを盗む(ROBBER ITEM): Steals item from the enemy; limit is one item per enemy 6. 敵のＲＧ-３０(RG -30): Lowers the enemy's RG by 30 7. 敵の攻撃力を減少させる(MINUS ATK): Lowers the enemy's Slash & Thrust Attack Power for 15 seconds 8. 熱毒の追加効果(POISON): Inflicts the enemy with Poison for 12 seconds 9. ダメ一ジ３倍(x3 DAMAGE): Normal attacks and Skills will deal 3x the damage 10. 自分のＦＧの１つが少量回復(FG HEAL): The FG that is least full will recover 100 Force Units; if less than 100 FG is missing, then no recovery will occur 11. 恐慌の追加効果(PANIC): Inflicts the enemy with Panic for 15 seconds 12. 敵の術攻撃力を減少させる(MINUS MIND): Lowers the enemy's Skill Attack Power for 15 seconds 13. 敵の防御力を減少させる(MINUS DEF): Lowers the enemy's Slash & Thrust Defense Power for 15 seconds 14. 気絶させる(PIYO): Inflicts the enemy with Piyo/Stun, enemy cannot take action while in this state 15. 衰弱の追加効果(WEAK): Inflicts the enemy with Weak for 20 seconds 16. マヒの追加効果(PARALYZE): Inflicts the enemy with Paralyze for 12 seconds 17. ダメ一ジ４倍(x4 DAMAGE): Normal attacks and Skills will deal 4x the damage 18. 敵の術防御力を減少させる(MINUS REGIST): Lowers the enemy's Skill Defense Power for 15 seconds 19. 凍結の追加効果(FREEZE): Inflicts the enemy with Freeze for 4 seconds 20. 通常攻撃連携数＋１(ATKCHAIN +1): Increases your Normal Attack Chain by 1 21. 自分のＦＧの１つが大回復(FG CURE): The FG that is least full will recover 200 Force Units; if less than 200 FG is missing, then no recovery will occur 22. 鈍足の追加効果(SLOW): Inflicts the enemy with Slow for 12 seconds 23. 連続ヒット数＋２(HITS +2): Boosts the hit count of that attack by 2 24. 弱い敵を一撃で倒す(SMASH!): Defeats enemies that are 10 or more levels below you in one blow 25. 衝撃波が追加発生(SHOCK WAVE): Attack creates a shock wave which affects adjacent lines 26. 敵のけぞり時間＋１.５秒(HOLD +1.5): Extends the period an enemy is immobile after being hit by 1.5 seconds 27. 高確率でアイテムを盗む(DACOITY ITEM): Steals item from the enemy with a high probability; limit is one item per enemy 28. 与えたダメ一ジの８倍を吸収(CURE HP): Recover HP equal to 8 times the damage dealt to the enemy 29. 通常攻撃連携数＋３(ATKCHAIN +3): Increases your Normal Attack Chain by 3 30.

Most of this I learned from personal experience, but you can also check out Spekio's FAQ for some of the menu translations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1fdCTdhScU The video covers the following topics: Basic Controls, Obtaining Ingredients, Food Tickets, Farm Fresh Groceries, the Magical Pot, Toppings, Added Cooking Effects, Secret Factors, and translations for all 24 recipes. So if you know all about those things already, well, then good for you. You may have a piece of peach pie. =============================================================================== 6) Translations [TRA000] =============================================================================== PART A: RECIPE TRANSLATIONS [TRAa00] If you already know how to cook and junk, then this video has just the translations for the 24 recipes (ingredients, effects, Secret Factors, the whole kitten kaboodle): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD6roQaWvWI For those of you who are sick of me sending you here, there, and everywhere, I have reproduced the recipe translations a little further down. See, I can be nice too sometimes. Anything written in ALL CAPS represents Romaji. If you can't read Katakana or Hiragana (or if your computer won't display them properly), you can type the Romaji into this website and it'll spit out the corresponding Japanese for you (so you know what ingredients you are buying when you play the game): Kudos goes to Rose to pointing out this great site! http://www.mauvecloud.net/charsets/fastromaji.html Or you can just look at what's written in this FAQ. Whatever floats your yacht. Also, I'll be numbering these in order of appearance on the Cooking screen, not the order that you receive them. The format appears below: Ex. Name of Recipe in Japanese (name in Romaji, translated English name) N. Ing. (Necessary Ingredients): Ing. in Japanese (Romaji, English) BCE (Basic Cooking Effects): Translation of effects SF (Secret Factor): Translation of SF ACE (Added Cooking Effects): a) Topping 1, translation of corresponding effect b) Topping 2, translation of corresponding effect c) Topping 3, translation of corresponding effect Notes (if any): Suggestions for how recipes can be used to your advantage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick note: the 2nd ACE will typically add to the BCE. For example, if I use the 2nd topping for Carbonara, I'd get the following effects for the next battle: HP Rec. 35%, RG +4, Protection against Paralysis for 1 minute (BCE), Protection against Slow for 1 minute (2nd ACE). However, in certain cases, the 2nd ACE will simply replace the last BCE listed. For example, with the Curry Rice, adding octopus would give you HP Rec. 30%, RG +10, and complete recovery of 2 FGs (not 1 FG or 3FGs). Sound good? Okay, then without further ado... 1. クリ一ム　ス一プ　（KURIIMU SUUPU, Cream Soup) N. Ing.: ミルク (MIRUKU, milk), ニンジン (NINJIN, carrot), ジャガイモ (JYAGAIMO, potato) BCE: HP Rec. 15%, RG +6 SF: Acquired Gald x2 ACE: a) チキン (CHIKIN, chicken)- Increases HP Rec. by an extra 3% b) ブレッド (BUREDDO, bread)- Complete Recovery of 1 FG c) ライス (RAISU, rice)- Increases chances of drawing out SF 2. ハンバ一ガ一 (HANBAAGAA, hamburger) N.

Ing.: ブレッド (BUREDDO, bread), レタス (RETASU, lettuce), タマゴ (TAMAGO, egg) BCE: HP Rec. 20%, RG -3 SF: Poisons all enemies ACE: a) バタ一 (BATAA, butter)- Increases HP Rec. by an extra 4% b) キュウリ (KYUURI, cucumber)- Protection against Paralysis for 1 minute c) ポ一ク (POOKU, pork)- Increases chances of drawing out SF 4. フル一ツポンチ (FURUUTSUPONCHI, fruit punch) N.

Ing.: レモン (REMON, lemon), チキン (CHIKIN, chicken), イカ (IKA, squid) BCE: HP Rec. 20%, RG +4 SF: Halves all damage ACE: a) タコ (TAKO, octopus)- Increases HP Rec. by an extra 6% b) エビ (EBI, shrimp)- 10 seconds of invincibility at beginning of battle c) とうふ (TOUFU, tofu)- Increases chances of drawing out SF Notes: The second ACE is awesome for No Damage, Full HP, 10 Second, and 30 Second Finishs, plus you can control when it activates (unlike the SFs). Works great for bosses as well...sometimes you can even take them out before the effect wears off if you have some x32 Damage weapons. 6. リゾット (RIZOTTO, risotto) N. Ing.: ライス (RAISU, rice), チ一ズ (CHIIZU, cheese), ミルク (MIRUKU, milk) BCE: HP Rec. 25%, RG +7 SF: Normal Attack Chain Combo +1 ACE: a) チキン (CHIKIN, chicken)- Increases HP Rec. by an extra 10% b) バタ一 (BATAA, butter)- Complete recovery of 2 FG c) イカ (IKA, squid)- Increases chances of drawing out SF Notes: The only time I've found the SF for this recipe to be helpful is when I was trying to earn 5 Chain Finishes in earlier areas like Sulz. This let me finish them off with a Skill instead of an Ougi, but it wasn't exactly what I'd call a really efficient way of doing things. 7. カレ一ライス (KAREERAISU, curry rice) N. Ing.: ライス (RAISU, rice), ジャガイモ (JYAGAIMO, potato), ニンジン (NINJIN, carrot), ポ一ク (POOKU, pork) BCE: HP Rec. 30%, RG +10, Complete Recovery of 1 FG SF: Weakens all enemies ACE: a) リンゴ (RINGO, apple)- Increases HP Rec. by an extra 8% b) タコ (TAKO, octopus)- Complete Recovery of 2 FGs c) ミルク (MIRUKU, milk)- Increases chances of drawing out SF 8. オムライス (OMURAISU, omelet rice) N.

[PHA000] =============================================================================== This information is not too useful in and of itself, but I will be referring to certain phases in the game for the next 3 sections. Basically, it keeps me from repeating myself excessively. These phases are divided up as they appear in the official strategy guide, so don't blame me if they seem a bit odd. Also, I may have to smooth over the descriptions for some of the later phases since I haven't gotten there on my current playthrough and my memory's a tad fuzzy. There will be some SPOILERS in this section since I want to be as specific as possible with the time frames, so you've been warned.

[CHA000] =============================================================================== There will be some SPOILERS in Part B of this section, so reader beware. ******************************************************************************* PART A: SKILLS & OUGIS [CHAa00] You may notice that some of this information looks like a cut & paste from KusanagiLord02's Tales Series Translation FAQ...well, that's because it is. Before you go report my FAQ for plagiarism (and realistically, how many FAQ thieves openly admit this kind of stuff?), I have received permission from KusanagiLord02 to reproduce portions of his work here. I'm mostly going to rely on his descriptions and any series cross-references for this section since you guys would laugh yourselves silly if I attempted to describe them in my own words. Anyway, I am going to add my own bit of info to this while I'm at it, so it may be worth a read even if you've seen Kusanagi's FAQ. And in case anyone was wondering, someone suggested that I add this to my FAQ so that the information would be more centralized (as opposed to being sorted by game in the series) and I'm a sucker for requests, so there ya go. Also, the links that you will find under the character's name lead to the Skills/Ougi Exhibition video for that character (if there's not a link, then I haven't done one for him/her yet) for those of you who are interested in actually seeing these things. Alright, here's the format for this section: When I say "attack" in the format explanation, I mean "Skill/Ougi"...I just don't want to write that 10,000 times. I'm also going to put a line of ~ between a character's Skills and their Ougis so that the distinction is a bit more obvious. NAME (Kanji[when applicable]/Furigana/Romaji): Any English translation, preference given to established names (e.g. Majinken=Demon Fang) OR: Origin (Ougis only)...tells you which Skills the Ougi is derived from DE: Description of the attack LV: Level at which the attack is learned (if applicable) EL: Elemental Attribute of the attack ATK: Attack Power...a normal attack is assigned a base value of 100; I'm also assuming that your FG is full when you're using the attack FG: Amount of Force Units the attack consumes, also defines the max number of Force Units the FG that the attack is assigned to can hold; the more Force Units an attack consumes (i.e. the greater the FG value), the longer it will take for that FG to completely refill after the attack is used. HP: HP Recovery; the higher this value is, the more HP you recover from using the attack SV: Shock Value...the higher this value is, the easier it is to increase the enemy's RG level OC: Occurrence...defined as the time (in 60ths of a second) from when you press the X button to when the attack is initiated; the greater the OC, the longer the delay SB: Steel Body (melee fighters only)...defined as the amount of time (in 60ths of a second) that enemy is "stunned" or unable to move after taking this attack. The bigger the number, the better. CT: Chanting Time (mages only)...defined as the amount of time (in 60ths of a second) from when you give the command for a spell to when the spell is executed; the longer the CT, the longer the preparation time for that spell RI: Rigidity...defined as the amount of time (in 60ths of a second) that you are unable to move after executing the attack; the smaller the RI, the sooner you are able to move HIT: Max number of hits for that attack, although this amount can be exceeded in rare cases (e.g. fighting against a very large opponent) RA: Range of the attack in terms of its effect on the line you're standing on and whether or not it affects adjacent/all lines NOTE: Any other miscellaneous info will be listed here If anyone's wondering about the order that I'm filling these in, it has to do with the order of the trials. Basically, if I've already made a Skills/Ougis Exhibition for the character, then everything's already been translated and I can finish that part more quickly. Cool beans? Great, let's get crackin' then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VEIGUE [CHAa01] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thy_K0xAoc0 Veigue's special, so he has 6 Extra Skills in addition to his 8 base Skills. You can use these Skills by equipping accessories known as Talismans, which are acquired when you complete certain portions of Sub Event #2 (see the Sub Event section below for more details). >>>>>SKILL #1<<<<< NAME: 絶氷刃 ゼッヒョウジン Zehhyoujin: "Finish Ice Edge" DE: Veigue does a normal slash covered in ice. LV: Learned after storyline event EL: Water ATK: 200 FG: 100 HP: 15 SV: 12 OC: 26 SB: 8 RI: 18 HIT: 2 RA: Small portion of 1 line >>>>>SKILL #2<<<<< NAME: 瞬連塵 シュンレンジン 　　　Shunrenjin: "Blink Connect Dust" DE: Veigue rushes forward and does three thrusts. LV: 7 EL: N/A ATK: 270 FG: 130 HP: 12 SV: 9 OC: 8 SB: 4 RI: 22 HIT: 4 RA: Small portion of 1 line >>>>>SKILL #3<<<<< NAME: 瞬連塵 レッパショウ Reppashou: "Split Break Rush" DE: Veigue slashes to the left of him, then to the right of him in an "X" fashion. LV: 11 EL: N/A ATK: 300 FG: 160 HP: 21 SV: 13 OC: 11 SB: 6 RI: 24 HIT: 2 RA: Small portion of the line Veigue is standing on plus any adjacent lines NOTE: Enemies on adjacent lines will only sustain 1 hit instead of 2. >>>>>SKILL #4<<<<< NAME: 絶翔斬 ゼッショウザン Zesshouzan: "Finish Soar Slash" DE: Veigue does a jumping slash that causes multiple hits. LV: 20 EL: Water ATK: 350 FG: 180 HP: 19 SV: 12 OC: 18 SB: 10 RI: 16 HIT: 3 RA: Small portion of 1 line >>>>>SKILL #5<<<<< NAME: 幻龍斬 ゲンリュウザン Genryuuzan: "Illusion Dragon Slash" DE: Veigue dashes through enemies with a thrust, then a downward slash, followed by an upward slash. LV: 29 EL: N/A ATK: 400 FG: 210 HP: 24 SV: 9 OC: 6 SB: 9 RI: 24 HIT: 3 RA: Moderate portion of 1 line NOTE: Genryuuzan is a versatile Skill; it can be used to get out of a pincer attack, pass through an enemy, or to get behind the enemy. You can also change directions to some extent if you choose a different target in the middle of your attack. >>>>>SKILL #6<<<<< NAME: 無影衝 ムエイショウ Mueishou: "Shadow-less Rush" DE: Veigue dashes backwards, then dashes forward with a horizontal slash that creates many "invisible" slashes. LV: 36 EL: N/A ATK: 450 FG: 300 HP: 30 SV: 12 OC: 21 SB: 18 RI: 28 HIT: 4 RA: Small portion of 1 line >>>>>SKILL #7<<<<< (Refining Skill) NAME: 絶・霧氷装　ゼツ・ムヒョウソウ Zetsu Muhyousou: "Slash Mist Ice Dress" DE: Veigue concentrates his Force and covers his blade with ice. LV: 24 EL: Water FG: 450 HP: 50 NOTE: Unlike Normal Skills, Refining Skills can only be used when the FGs that they are assigned to are completely full. Zetsu Muhyousou gives all of Veigue's attacks a chance of freezing the enemy; this effect lasts for 15 seconds. Also, this Skill halves his current RG, so it can be used to improve his HP regeneration. >>>>>SKILL #8<<<<< (Refining Skill) NAME: 絶・瞬影迅　ゼツ・シュンエイジン Zetsu Shuneijin: "Slash Blink Shadow Quick" DE: Veigue concentrates his Force around his feet. LV: 43 EL: Water FG: 550 HP: 60 NOTE: Unlike Normal Skills, Refining Skills can only be used when the FGs that they are assigned to are completely full. Zetsu Shuneijin boosts Veigue's movement speed by 50% and lowers his RG while he's moving. This effect lasts for 12 seconds. This is also another great way to increase Veigue's HP Recovery since it lowers his RG. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Level Learned (LV) is going to be replaced with Talisman (TA) for this section; the Skill that needs to be used in order for the Extra Skill to appear will be listed under the TA area in parenthesis. Note that the FG that your Extra Skill is assigned to must be full; if it's not, then you'll just execute the Normal Skill. For example, let's say that I have Extra Skill A that requires me to use Normal Skill A and that they're assigned to FG #1. If I use FG #1 while it's full, I'll perform Extra Skill A. If I use FG #1 and it's not full, then I'll perform Normal Skill A instead. Capiche? >>>>>EXTRA SKILL #1<<<<< NAME: 魔神剣　マジンケン Majinken: Demon Fang/Demon Fist DE: Veigue swings his sword which produces a purple shockwave that runs along the ground. TA: 魔神の魂 Majin Spirit Talisman (Skill=Zehhyoujin) EL: N/A ATK: 250 FG: 120 HP: 1 SV: 10 OC: 31 SB: 8 RI: 20 HIT: 2 RA: Large portion of 1 line NOTE: A Tales series staple...also used by (but not limited to) Cless [ToP], Stan/Leon [ToD], Reid [ToE], Lloyd/Kratos/Zelos [ToS], Senel/Chloe [ToL], Luke/Guy [TotA], Ruca/Spada [ToI], and Caius [TotT].

LV: 48 EL: Wind FG: 440 HP: 47 NOTE: Unlike Normal Skills, Refining Skills can only be used when the FGs that they are assigned to are completely full.
