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.
