Introduction
My name is Woo-Jin Song known on the boards at gamefaqs as jinsun, this 
is my first FAQ I have written, so if it seems like my explanation is 
unclear or confusing I apologize. This FAQ is intended for people who 
can't read Japanese or do not want to put the Japanese text in a 
translator. If you find that I have any errors, would like to give me 
alternate solutions, or just send me comments, then you can send me an 
e-mail at [email protected]. However I do not want any spam, junk mail, 
or hate mail etc. If you do send me an e-mail please be certain to 
include the game title and what specific problem you have so as to 
prevent deletion of your e-mail. Thank you. 

Puzzle Box Solutions
Here is where I list the abbreviations of what I am referring to:
GB - Green Block
RB - Red Block
BB - Blue Block
YB - Yellow Block
GBG - Green Block Group
RBG - Red Block Group
BBG - Blue Block Group 
YBG - Yellow Block Group
SB - Spring Board

Okay, here we go, you can gain access to puzzle boxes after you have 
talked to Brad at Meisis Station in southeast Filgaia, after you talk 
to him your search scope will then uncover the puzzle boxes on the 
world map. Each puzzle has a fixed camera angle so you are always 
looking at the side, (so you don't need to change the camera angle like 
you sometimes needed to do in previous games.) For those of you who are 
familiar with the puzzle boxes you can skip the next paragraph and 
start looking at the solutions, for those of you who aren't read on. 

The object of the puzzles is to of course make all of the blocks 
disappear, there are four different colored blocks Green, Red, Blue, 
Yellow, they can be in groups or they can be single. To make the blocks 
disappear you need match the same colors with each other when you do 
the blocks vanish. Simple right? By the way use circle to push/pull and 
x to jump. Upon completion of the puzzle you are teleported back to the 
world map and are given an item in a chest. Note that all these chests 
count towards being able to open the black box. If you mess up while 
doing the puzzle just hit square and you can either continue doing the 
puzzle, reset the puzzle or give up.

By the way, when you cause a set of blocks to vanish they remain on 
screen for something like a 1/2 second so should you need to you can 
still stand on them and jump before they completely vanish (you will 
see in Puzzle Box 9 that you will take advantage of that 1/2 second 
delay.) 

So what do you get for doing all these puzzles? Aside from the items 
that each puzzle leaves after completion, once you complete all the 
puzzle boxes talk to Brad again at Meisis and he will then hand over EZ 
Missile Might, his ARM. All right now on to the puzzle box solutions.

Version History	
Version 1.0 completed the FAQ, I may at a later date add in required 
items needed to access some of the Puzzle Boxes. Right now this FAQ 
only has coordinates, treasure, and solutions.
Version 1.1 fixed a couple of spacing errors, add in allowed sites 
sections.
