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. 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.
