1. Intro
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King is a really relaxing
sort of Final Fantasy fun. It's not the typical RPG fare however. You take on
the role of the king's son, recently back from a mysterious kingdom dispersion.
Unlike most other fantasy games, where the royal family takes an active role
in the battle to regain a homeland from monsters, King Leo follows the advice
of his Chancellor-Nanny Chime and the former Captain of the Royal Knights Hugh
Yurg, and stays within the safety of the Castle Town. The King doesn't do any
fighting for himself, but sends adventurers from the town into dungeons to
collect the resources needed to build the kingdom back up to its former glory
and beyond.
As the kingdom becomes developed and adventurers are able to explore more and
more of the lands beyond, various skills and magic become available for the
little king's fighting force to use. There's a wide variety of abilities
spanning the four jobs, so this guide is to help organize that information into
a handy readable format.

3. In Depth Listing
Unlocking most abilities is a simple matter of spending kingdom funds to
research the general field. The more funds you pump into research, the higher
an adventurer can purchase most skills. Also, more skills become available
only after after raise research levels to a certain point.
== Job Abilities ==
1. Warrior
Battle Skills (Training Hall)
Research Lvl | Name (Level cap) - In game description
1 | Guard (100) - The character has a chance of reducing
| physical damage by half. More effective
| at higher ability levels.

10 | Cover (100) - The character has a chance of protecting
| allies by recieving incoming attacks in
| their stead. More effective at higher
| ability levels.
Notes: Warriors have a small, but good selection of job abilities that they can
purchase for use. Future downloadable content is slated to expand the skill
list. Warriors are the job you look to for most of your battling, as they can
typically take a lot of damage and deal out just as much.
2. Thief
Adventuring Skills (1st Gaming Hall)
Research Lvl | Name (Level cap) - In-game description
1 | Keen Eyes (100) - Increases the amount of elementite
| obtained after clearing a dungeon. More
