Introduction ------------------------------------------------------- Sakura Taisen V: Episode 0 (STV-0) is a prelude to the full sequel, "Sakura Taisen V: Farewell My Love" (Episode 1). In STV-0, you take the role of Texan cowgirl Gemini Sunrise as she rides her horse Rally across the American mainland from San Francisco to Washington DC. Along the way, Gemini defeats a legion of half-demon, half-robot "Japhkiel" from the evil sorcerer Patrick Hamilton, while protecting the targeted innocent girl Fuanita Cushing. Hamilton previously appeared as a henchman of the president of the Douglas Stewart company in the anime "Sakura Taisen: The Movie" (available on American DVD).

Walkthrough ------------------------------------------------------- Missions are split into adventure and action segments. During adventure segments, your answers to questions posed by the Live Interactive Picture System (LIPS) determines bonus skill points (SP) to be awarded to Gemini. Each choice is accompanied by a changeable character portrait to the left of the dialogue box. This picture hints at the mood of the response: R = red = surprised Y = yellow = happy G = green = pleasant B = blue = serious P = purple = sad K = black = guilty During the action segments, you can earn SP by destroying objects, executing 5, 10, or 20+ combos, winning time puzzles, and finally finishing the stage. To earn a decent grade (>C), destroy miscellaneous objects between distant enemies (trees, wheelbarrows, crates, etc.) to prevent the orange combo meter from resetting to 0. Also, destroy many enemies as quickly as possible. After completion, you'll be taken back to the mission select menu, where you can upgrade your weapons, skills, and equipment.
