If you sent it to the right place, you'll get a reply. Also, please read my guide before asking any questions. Only questions and tips not already in my guide will be posted. All game related emails sent to another of my email addresses will be ignored. I do enjoy receiving instant messages with questions and praise about my guides. If you would like to contact me, my AIM screen name is JuanDixonFor3. If I do not respond immediately, this probably means I am busy. I am always talking with my girl and with friends, so sometimes I don't get to instant messages from people I do not know right away. Be nice and I will talk to you. But if you are rude and abusive either because I don't respond quickly enough or about my guide, I will probably block you. All emails sent to the correct destination will be answered though.

After a disappointing last entry into the series with the battle system challenged Tales of Legendia, Namco has really rebounded this time with a classic game in the vein of Tales of Eternia and Tales of Symphonia. Combining fast paced battles with a decent storyline and characters, this is the best game in the series since Symphonia, as well as being one of the best RPGs on the console, period. I am doing this FAQ from scratch, meaning no outside help whatsoever besides reader tips. This means I am accepting more reader tips than ever, as I SUCK at finding everything in a game, lol. I went through the game at a decent speed and opened up a second file so I could write a decent walkthrough and get all the statistics for weapons, items, etc, but I know this is not perfect. So, if you have any tips or suggestions or additions, feel free to email me! Enjoy the FAQ! Psycho Penguin ~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+ 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------> GAME BASICS ~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+ I hate writing game basics.. urrrgh. <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> < 2.1 > CHARACTERS <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> Coming soon... <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> < 2.2 > MENU SYSTEM <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> Coming soon... <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> < 2.3 > BATTLE SYSTEM <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> Coming soon... <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> < 2.4 > GAME TIPS <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> Coming soon... ~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+ 3.0 ------------------------------------------------------------> WALKTHROUGH ~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+ This game is so awesome.. I really hope this walkthrough helps you through the game. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION -> BATICUL ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The game starts off with the main character, Luke, in his bedroom. Note you can't rename him, because of the fact the main characters voice his name constantly. This is why Tidus was never referred to as Tidus in FFX or FF X- 2, by the way. ("He" is coming to save us!) Anyways, watch the scene and then leave the room. I hope this game doesn't turn out to be another one of those games where the main character had headaches and hears voices all game... Once you're out, you'll be in the main part of the castle. Head into the eastern room and then talk to the soldier, who will tell you that you have some sort of visitor. There will be a skit, which you can initiate by hitting select. These piss people off because they are not voiced, but neither were the ones in Symphonia if I am not mistaken. Go back to the bedroom now, and after a scene, leave the room again and head to the left side of the court yard now. Head through the door, then go up into the next room for an Apple Gel before going downwards towards the audience room. There will be some scenes involving Luke's father's involvement in an upcoming potential war. Leave the audience room to the right, then head north to the next room for a couple more items. Now, head to the middle of the castle again for a scene, where Luke gets to learn some basic battling techniques with his homeboy, Master Van. Suddenly, some bitch breaks up the scene, trying to kill Van, and you're left in the middle of nowhere with her. ~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+ 4.0 ----------------------------------------------------------> READER CORNER ~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+ This is my usual section when I write for a new game.

There's also a FAQ section to boot. <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> < 4.1 > FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> Coming soon... <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> < 4.2 > READER TIPS <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> Coming soon... ~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+ 5.0 -----------------------------------------------------------------> GUIDES ~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+-~-=-+ This is just a section where I post some extra guides if you need help in any specific area. <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> < 5.1 > SYNOPSIS GUIDE <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> The game has an in-game diary called a synopsis, which keeps track of the followings throughout the game. I am reposting that here for those who aren't going to be playing through the game, or those who just want to have it documented. ------------------------------ "It Started With A Song" ------------------------------ Remday, Rem - Decan 23, ND2018 ------------------------------ Looks like it's going to be another boring day. Not one thing has gone right over the seven years since my kidnapping. I lose my memory... They keep me confined here... I keep getting headaches and hearing things all the time... But today, Master Van came to the mansion, so maybe it won't be boring after all! Time to head over to the drawing room to see him! I heard some really depressing news in the drawing room... Master Van won't be able to come and train me for a while. Apparently this "Fon Master Ion" or somebody from the Order of Lorelei disappeared, so he has to go help in the search. This really makes me mad! Since he has to go away, he said he'd give me some training today in the courtyard. But just as I was practicing with Master Van, I heard a strange song (A "fonic hymn" he called it... what's that?). It made me sleepy, and then this weird girl came in and attacked Van. I tried to stop her, but all of a sudden some incredible power appeared between us, and we were thrown into a valley neither of us were familiar with. <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> < 5.2 > BOSS GUIDE <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> < 5.3 > RECIPES GUIDE <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> Cooking in the game is simple enough.

CONTACT INFORMATION -------------------- You can check out all of my other guides on GameFAQs, which will hopefully include a very sexy Tales of Symphonia guide soon. I can't wait to finish that thing. I am most proud of this guide and Legend of Legaia, but I did guides for a lot of Final Fantasies, as well as some random Castlevania and wrestling games, and both Tales of Destiny games. Check them out! In addition on my quest to write for all the Final Fantasy games, I will try to finish my NCAA Football 2007 and FF7 guides, as well as some random NES games (Predator, NOES, Jeopardy Jr., and Puss and Boots, anyone?) and guides for the other 2 Castlevania games that employ the new style. Oh, and I might do a Wild Arms 3 guide. And I still have to finish my ToS and FF3 guides.. And there's always Final Fantasy 12 and Tales of the Tempest to look forward to... I appreciate any information you can contribute, especially to game basics, and team ratings. Also, feel free to email any questions that would be good for a FAQ section, as I plan to add one to a future update. Any errors and omissions that you may see can be corrected if you inform me of them. I'll also credit you, if your error or omission is actually correct and worth an update for me to fix. I am somewhat busy, you know. That's about it. If anyone would like me to add anything, you can always email me. AIM: JuanDixonFor3 MSN: [email protected] YIM: nicklacheysnightmare If you contact me on one of the instant messengers, and I do not respond, it probably means I am busy. I am always talking with my girl, and friends, so sometimes I just ignore some instant messages from people I do not know. Be nice, and I will talk to you, just don't come out and ask the question and be all rude if I do not respond in five seconds, otherwise I probably will just block you. I will answer all e-mails about the game, however. You can contact me by emailing me at [email protected] One last note: Only email me about the game at [email protected], all emails about Just Breed sent to my other e-mail addresses will be deleted and/or ignored. Thanks to all those that have emailed me so far, I appreciate it! 1. Check my email backlog. If it's filled up, you may have to wait a while before you get a response. 2. I check my email once in a while. Please wait for a response, because I will respond to all emails. 3. Please read my guide before asking questions, that's why I have a FAQ section. 4. I will only post your question/tip in my guide if it is good, and has not been answered in this guide. Also, I have AIM and Yahoo. My AIM name is JuanDixonFor3, but PLEASE do not harass me with annoying questions or I'll block you. I only wish to chat with people. <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> < 7.1 > CREDITS <---------------------------------------------------------------------------> Me - For writing this FAQ.
