VERSION HISTORY (00100) =============================================================================== V 1.0 (14 December 2007) Guide Made =============================================================================== II. INTRODUCTION (00200) =============================================================================== This is the Sengoku BASARA 2 Heroes Translation Guide made by BlackKite aka. The Giant Hoeruo at GameFAQs Boards. This guide is made to help import gamers who play Sengoku BASARA 2 Heroes, a hack'n'slash game made by Capcom, which is available only in Japan. This guide contains Japanese text which is saved in the Shift-JIS format, so in order to be able to show the Japanese text, you need to change your browser encoding to Japanese (Shift-JIS). Another note, this guide is primarily made for the PS2 version, but there shouldn't be any major differences with the Wii version other than the controller layouts. =============================================================================== III. TRANSLATIONS (00300) =============================================================================== First things first, remember the two most basic things in Japanese games: 1. はい (Hai) means Yes, and いいえ (Iie) means No. 2. Circle button is used to confirm things instead of Cross in NA games, and Cross button to cancel things instead of Triangle. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. Data Conversion (PS2 version only) (00310) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ As you start the game for the first time, it will first ask if you want to create a new save file for SB2H. Then, it will check your memory card for a SB2 save data. If there is one, the game will ask you whether you want to carry your achievements in SB2 to SB2H. These are the things that will be carried over from your SB2 save data to SB2H. Character Levels Weapons & Armors, including their levels Alternate Costumes Stat-increasing foods Character-specific Items Unification Points These will NOT be carried over. Other equippable items Gold (Spend all of them before you convert!) And other miscellaneous things like best clear times +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2. Main Menu (00320) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After seeing the Capcom logo, Dolby Digital etc. and either watching or skipping the opening movie which has the song "BLADE CHORD" sung by abingdon boys school, a huge Sengoku BASARA 2 Heroes logo should appear. Press Start, and you'll enter the main menu. The Menu is listed as below. For more details regarding the modes, please check their respective submenus. Also, in SB2H, there is now multiplayer play, but unfortunately not all modes are compatible with it. The modes which has multiplayer will be marked with (2P), while those marked with (1P) means the mode can be only played alone. ストーリー Story Mode (1P) 外伝ストーリー Gaiden Story Mode (1P) 天下統一 Conquest Mode (2P) 自由合戦 Free Battle Mode (1P) 対戦 Versus Mode (2P) 大武闘会 Tournament Mode (2P) ギャラリー Gallery 各種設定 Options ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2a. (外伝)ストーリー (Gaiden) Story Mode (00321) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story Mode is the mode where you can watch the story of a character by playing through 5 stages with that character. There is also a Gaiden Story Mode, where the stories are a bit shorter since there are only 3 stages to play. Once you select this mode, you will be brought to the character selection screen. These are the only characters that have full-fledged stories: Katakura Kojuurou, Oichi, Azai Nagamasa These characters have Gaiden stories (left to right): Chousokabe Motochika, Maeda Keiji, Date Masamune, Sanada Yukimura, Fuuma Kotarou. Characters who are not listed above do not have any stories here. After choosing your character, you get to choose the difficulty. From left to right, they are Normal, Hard and Ultimate. Then after watching or skipping the opening movie and storytelling, you will then enter the Pre-Battle Menu (See the "3. Pre-Battle Menu" section). Once you have finished the last stage, you will be able to watch or skip the character's ending movie, then the credit roll. Usually the credit roll will have "BLADE CHORD" as the theme, however if you're playing as Oichi, you will see a unique credit roll with another song as the theme. This is "Nemure Hi no Hana", a special song from Noto Mamiko, Oichi's seiyuu. By finishing these stories, you get to unlock Alternate 1st costumes. These are similar to the original 1st costumes, but with different palette. Clearing a story will unlock the costumes for not only the story character, but also for some other characters who don't get stories here. Clearing Katakura Kojuurou's story also unlocks costumes for: Uesugi Kenshin, Maeda Toshiie, Matsu and Honganji Kennyo Clearing Oichi's story also unlocks costumes for: Nouhime, Mori Ranmaru, Akechi Mitsuhide and Oda Nobunaga Clearing Azai Nagamasa's story also unlocks costumes for: Imagawa Yoshimoto, Zabii, Shimazu Yoshihiro and Mouri Motonari Clearing Date Masamune's gaiden story also unlocks costumes for: Itsuki and Miyamoto Musashi Clearing Sanada Yukimura's gaiden story also unlocks costumes for: Takeda Shingen and Sarutobi Sasuke Clearing Maeda Keiji's gaiden story also unlocks costumes for: Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Takenaka Hanbei Clearing Chousokabe Motochika's gaiden story also unlocks costumes for: Tokugawa Ieyasu and Honda Tadakatsu Clearing Fuuma Kotarou's gaiden story also unlocks costumes for: Kasuga and Hojo Ujimasa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2b. 天下統一 Conquest Mode (00322) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once you have gone through the character selection screen, you will be taken to the map of Japan (minus Hokkaido) where other clan's treasures are being determined. The treasures could be gold, experience points, and even item and weapon boxes. Press circle to stop the treasure shuffle. Now you can select a clan to conquer. But before that, in case you want to recheck the treasure locations, press R1 to do so. Pressing R1 again will show you the level of the treasures, and pressing the button once again will take you back to the battle selection screen. You can also press L1 to see the treasures you have gotten. Press the button once again to return. After selecting the region you wish to conquer, you then go to the usual pre-battle menu and the battle itself. After the battle ends with your victory, you may take the enemy clan's treasure. If the clan has more than 1 kind of treasure, you have to pick only one of them, and all the other treasure will be forgotten. Note that during this mode, there is a chance that the annoying kid Miyamoto Musashi will start an uproar on your region, and you will have to fight him on a timed one-on-one duel at Ganryujima. You don't have to win this battle, but if you do, you may get extra money, the amount of which depends on how long you beat Musashi. In SB2H, there is also a chance that Matsunaga Hisahide will be staging an invasion against you from his hidden base at Toudaiji. The stage is similar to "Border Defense Battle" in SB1, but while that one was a piece of cake, this revised stage is much harder. Hisahide not only captures your generals to divert your attention, but he also utilizes the Nioh tanks, and eventually he himself will show up to disturb you while the attacking troops continue to spawn. Once you have completed the unification, you will open the treasures you've gained during the campaign. After that, you will see a short resume of your campaign with "BLADE CHORD" as BGM. Then, the game will ask you to save your data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2c. 自由合戦 Free Battle Mode (00323) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the mode where you can play as any characters on any stages you have played at. After selecting your character and determining the difficulty, you will then enter the stage selection screen. For those who are confused about which one is which stage, I have made this stage list, complete with the Kanji texts, so you can match it with the one on your TV screen. It is sorted in the same way as the game's default sorting order. You'll know it's a new stage when there is a *NEW* next to the stage title. Almost all SB2 stages are returning, with the exception of two stages: 1. 本能寺暗殺行 Assassination at Honnouji has been replaced with 本能寺宿命戦 Honnouji Destiny Battle. 2. 農村防衛戦 Farm Village Defense Battle has been replaced with 農民護衛戦 Farm Peasant Escort Battle. 姉川蹂躙戦 Anegawa Infringement Battle Difficulty: 1 Boss: Azai Nagamasa 姉川成敗戦 Anegawa Judgement Battle *NEW* Difficulty: 1 Boss: Imagawa Yoshimoto 稲葉山城の戦い Battle of Inabayama Castle Difficulty: 1 Boss: Takenaka Hanbei 上田城出撃戦 Ueda Castle Sortie Battle Difficulty: 1 Boss: Tokugawa Ieyasu 上田城電撃戦 Ueda Castle Blitzkrieg Battle Difficulty: 1 Boss: Sanada Yukimura 小田原急襲戦 Odawara Infiltration Battle Difficulty: 1 Boss: Hojo Ujimasa 小田原潜入戦 Odawara Raid Battle Difficulty: 1 Boss: Hojo Ujimasa ザビー教追放戦 Zabii's Sect Banishment Battle Difficulty: 1 Boss: Zabii 熱血！武田道場　壱 Hot Blood!

In total there are 8 different types of games. Note that even if your character's HP reaches 0, the game won't end as the character will recover in a set time. 達磨叩き戦 Daruma Beating Battle Here, you need to hit the innocent darumas to rack up points. The red one is worth 100 points. The stacked red one is worth 500 points. If you attack it on air, you can beat it on one go and gain an instant 500 points as opposed to hitting it on ground (where you can only gain 100 points and you have to hit it 5 times) The gold one is worth 1000 points. Definitely put a priority to this one. The black one TAKES AWAY 1000 points from you. Beware of this. 超人魂争奪戦 Superhuman Spirit Struggle Battle The objective of this game is to collect all 4 spirit spheres. You can make an opponent lose possession of the spheres by dealing the last attack in your character's S-string or knocking him/her out. But beware that if you are hit by a spinning soldier or a trap, you can lose possession of the spheres as well. 一心同体戦 Union Battle A 2-on-2 duel. The objective is to knock down BOTH of your opponents. If you only knock down one of them and don't knock out the other one, he/she will eventually recover. 大軍撃破戦 Huge Army Destruction Battle Beat up as many soldiers as possible, though there are different points alloted to the different type of soldiers, so you may want to put a priority on those who have higher points. Also, aim for Keiji and Matsu when they appear, for they keeping a huge amount of points. 生存競争戦 Survival Competition Battle The rule is simple: The one who gets his/her HP reduced to 0 first loses. By killing 10 soldiers, you can summon a bomb ninja in your opponent's arena. By racking up combo number, you can send a squad of specified soldiers to your opponent. 最強決定戦 Strongest Decision Battle A simple one-on-one duel. The first one who gets 3 wins is the winner. 超人魂争奪戦〜其の弐〜 Superhuman Spirit Struggle Battle ~Part Two~ This is similar to the first Superhuman Spirit Struggle Battle, but the difference lies in the spheres. They are now colored and there are special effects by possessing them. Red: Power up Blue: Speed up Purple: Speed down Black: Inability to use Basara attack So a good strategy would be to get the blue and red spheres first, then purple, and finally black. Yes, you need to get the disadvantageous spheres as well. 最大連撃戦 Biggest Combo Battle It is quite self-explanatory: the one who can get a higher combo number by the end of the game wins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2e. 大武闘会 Tournament Mode (00325) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After going through the usual character selection and pre-battle menus, you'll be placed in an arena where there are just you, your opponents, and spectators cheering for everyone at the stands. The objective of this mode is to win 100 stages. And the reward? None other than the coolest, biggest and strongest 8th weapon. You can also get the last (3rd) armor by finishing 50 stages. After beating 10 stages, the game will ask you whether you want to continue the mode or not. If you choose no, the game will ask you to save your game so that you can continue the mode later on. After you have beaten a stage, you will earn experience points. If you don't stop the game and continue on, the experience you'll get will be much higher. However, if you are defeated, all the things you have gotten are lost and you have to start again from the last stage you saved at. New to the tournament are the optional challenges that can be fulfilled for extra money. There are 20 sets, and each set has 3 challenges. These challenges need to be fulfilled in one stage, though all 3 challenges in the set can be fulfilled at a single stage. The translation for the challenges is available at DDT213's Title FAQ. The reward for completing all the challenges is not only a title, but also a double multiplier for all EXP rewards you win in the remaining stages. After clearing the Tournament, you will unlock the Ultimate Tournament, which is a more challenging version of the tournament since there is a time limit, and you cannot save in the middle of the tournament. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2f. ギャラリー Gallery (00326) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is where you can see the artistic side of this game, as well as your accomplishments in the game.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (00400) =============================================================================== Q: Is this game available for two players? A: Yes. Starting in SB2H, 2P play is available. However, you cannot play 2P in Story and Free modes. Q: Does this game have online play? A: No, it doesn't. Q: How can I get the personal items now? A: They are now buyable at the shop for 30000 gold. For Kojuurou, Nagamasa and Ichi, you try to get them by fulfilling the mission in 4th story stage and search for them, but you can also buy afterwards if you fail to get the item. Q: Is there a way to play as Matsunaga Hisahide? A: No. He is supposed to be an NPC. Of course, you can try and search for codes to 'play' as him, but I'd recommend you to wait until the eventual Sengoku BASARA 3. Q: Will this game be brought overseas, either keeping the same game or turning it into another Devil Kings? A: Nobody knows. There hasn't been any announcements from Capcom by the time I wrote this guide. Maybe they may just decide not to bring SB2(H) overseas, but who knows? Q: Why are there only 8 stories available? Q: Why do the other NPC turned PCs only have 2 skills? Q: Why can you not play 2P in Story/Free Mode? Q: Why is the anime quality not good compared to SB1? Q: Why *insert complaint here*? A: All these questions lead to one answer: You are expecting too much from an expansion game. This is Sengoku BASARA 2 Heroes, Not Sengoku BASARA 3. If you are so concerned about things like that, I advise you to spend your time doing something else and wait straight for Sengoku BASARA 3 to be announced. =============================================================================== V.
