Trey [3.03.00]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------If Ace was a class, like warrior or mage, Trey would be his ranged advance
class. Trey uses a bow and arrows to take out his targets. He specializes in
ranged damage. His weakness is close-combat. Keep a Blizzaga BOM on him.
Best ranged character. Recommended for anybody.

Cater [3.04.00]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cater uses a magical type of shot gun. It's ammo would be magical bullets
as well. These bullets are used to deal mostly status effects to the enemy.
Cater has the lowest attack and second lowest health of the group. If you want
a character that can deal out some status effects then you should be looking at
Seven. Being ranged does give her a defensive bonus though.
Recommended for players who prefer ranged, but mainly a back-up character for
Seven or Trey who outperform her in both status and damage dealing attacks.

Cinque [3.05.00]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cinque use a large mace to deal a lot of damage. With a heavy weapon, you
also have a slow character. She also has the second highest defense making her
a great tank to plow through enemies with.
(Asclepiuz says...)
"Great defensive stats and hits hard, but has a very sluggish attack
animation. Hitting break/kill sights is pretty hard with her. Full Swing
kinda fixes this, though. She also can stun enemies with Earthquake."
Cinque is the damage dealer of the game, but she is also quite slow.
Recommended for beginner to mid-level players.

Sice [3.06.00]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sice is a pretty unique character. She uses a scythe and specializes in
dark magic that gains bonuses by defeating enemies. She is fast and just deals
out tons of damage. She also, can use Psycho Vortex and Black Hole to draw
enemies into one place or immobilize them so that she can continue to dish out
damage. She has average stats, but makes up for it with that speed.
Sice can be tough to use, but is ultimately worth it for dealing out damage.
Recommended for average players.

Seven [4.07.00]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Seven uses a whip and a slew of elemental attacks. She can drain MP to dish
out constant healing when you need it while dealing damage at the same time.
She will also stop enemies in their tracks with her Bondage Whip ability so
that your damage dealing characters can get in there and deal it out. Also, one
of the few characters that are good with magic.
(Asclepiuz says...)
"Fast, and her attacks have a small-medium range"
Great support character for average to advanced players.

Eight [3.08.00]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Eight uses his fists to beat down enemies quickly and aggressively. The
more he punches, the more damage he will deal out. He is exclusively a closerange character, so you should equip a longer range magic on him (cold type).
He is a fairly simple character.
Eight is a great character to use as your main character, and is recommended
for those that are beginning to average level players.

Nine [3.09.00]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Walkthrough [4.00.00]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------For this walkthrough, I will go over strategies for bosses, techniques on
the battlefield, places to go and see, as well as any items that I've found you
can pick up along the way. I will try to keep it as spoiler free as possible as
well. While I guide you through the game, my main party is Ace at lead and Sice
and Seven at backup. If I change from that for a strategy, I will let you know.
Do remember that this is the Japanese version of the game; at the time of this
writing a patch has not been released, and Square Enix have not localized the
game in English.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 1: War, 3 Hours that Changed the World [4.01.00]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Once you start a new game, you are asked if you would like to transfer any
data from the demo. If you played the demo, go ahead and select yes. If you
have not played the demo, you may want to download it. The demo is the only way
to get the alternate Summer Outfit for each character. Start watching the
cutscenes after this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Suzaku Gate [4.01.01]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now that you are in-game, you gain the item Life Bracelet. Life Bracelet is
basically infinite Phoenix Downs (revives the player). Then you have the option

of turning the tutorials on or off. If you're reading this section, then you
probably want tutorials on.
You start with Ace, Nine, and Queen. They are level 6, 6, and 7. Ace is the
all-rounder type character who with his magical cards can heal you, deal damage
or deal some status effects. Nine is the tank of the group. He has the highest
defense and health of the game. Queen, on the other hand, specializes in
lightning magic and not much else. If you are a fan of that, go ahead and use
her the rest of the game, but I will be dropping her off at the nearest point.
Choose your character by holding L+left or right on the D-Pad. Ace is the
recommended character because he has ranged attack, and can cast Wall to
protect himself. Then, head straight forward into the start of the game.
[If you disabled tutorials you can skip this section]
The game doesn't explicitly tell you what all of the different markings in
combat do until later in the game, so I will give you a quick run-down. From
left to right and top to bottom, you have your player-character (PC) name, his
or her level, and then your party characters' names. Below those you have
health in blue, and ability points in yellow. If you have played previous
Final Fantasy titles, you know that ability points are for abilities and that
you usually have something different for magic abilities called an MP bar. In
this game, the MP bar and AP bar are shared. Lastly, on the far right you have
an item icon, and the number of that item you have left. In this case you start
