Frequently Asked Questions B_END. Special Thanks END. Contacts 0. Introduction This game is quite easy and even if you don't know anything about japanese language you can manage to do it, but with some help you may have an even easier time playing this. The game is really easy, and I doubt most people would even need to read this document, but I thought about giving it a try, and I hope that Saint Seiya fans enjoy it! This game is mainly a remake of the 2 old games for NES, but some things were added and they surely make the game more enjoyable. 1. Main Menu AND controls The main menu in this game is quite easy to understand, mainly because it is fully in english. GAME START CONTINUE VS MODE "GAME START" is a new game option. "CONTINUE" allows you to continue playing, but you will have to get the passwords, and since you are reading this faq I doubt I know japanese, turning your life into an hard time when it comes for you to write down the passwords. Don't get me wrong, it is doable, but it will be hard for you to do it. "VS MODE" is an option that would possibly let you fight a friend who also had this game and another console, but this won't be covered in the game since I didn't had the chance to try it. As for the controls, those are: A - skips text, chooses options, attacks B - returns to last screen on the menus, runs Y1 - does nothing Y2 - does nothing Y3 OR Y4 - goes to menu PAUSE - pauses game START - pauses game And once you reach the menu, you will see 4 different options (this is not a translation!): [EQUIP/UNEQUIP ARMOR] [STATS] [TRAVEL] [PASSWORD] "EQUIP/UNEQUIP ARMOR" allows your character to equip (and unequip) its Cloth, but remember that having it equipped will drain your Cosmo. "STATS" allows you to see your current stats and improve them, using your current EXP. "TRAVEL" lets you instantly go to another location, but only some of them will be available at each time. "PASSWORD" will let you see your current password, which isn't very useful for you since it would take you a long time to write down. In the battles, the controls will be: FIGHT EXIT TALK PARTNER "FIGHT" uses an attack, which will depend on your current stats. "EXIT" just quits the current battle. "TALK" does it with your current opponent, which generally just raises your cosmo "PARTNER" calls upon your friends, if you have any with you at that moment 2. Walkthrough Ok, first you just need to start your new game, input your birthday (you should to it in a 19YY/MM/DD form, but that's easily understood), which won't change the game at all. If you are wondering, it just provides some features that are only interesting for Japanese users, and everyone else shouldn't even care about it. Then, press END to continue and start the real game. After the cutscene with Marin, you will have to fight Cassius (yeah, I think that's his name, but please understand I am not a big fan of the series), which will be done easily by Seiya. At the end, he will send his opponent flying and win the Pegasus Cloth. Another scene with Marin, and now... Shaina appears, you use Pegasus Meteor and finish by destroying part of his mask, revealing her face and making her go away in shame. After another cutscene, you will find yourself in front of the Kido's mansion, which you should enter by pressing up. You will see Saori's bodyguard (well, or at least I think he is her bodyguard!) in front of the entrance, talk to him by touching him and then move to the right, entering the third door and talking to Saori. Now, exit the mansion and proceed to the right, going up in the first street and proceeding until the end of that street. Now, enter that house and talk to Seiya's friend, then return to the main street (the one with the mansion) and all to the right until the Colosseum. Equip your Cloth and then head for Dragon Shiryu and your first real battle. This will be very easy, just pick "FIGHT" and raise the APow, MPow, DPow and HPow to the maximum, choose it and then pick the option in the left. Probably Shiryu will strike first, but then you will use Pegasus Meteor and defeat him. Now, Cygnus Hyoga will appear, but you are currently too weak to fight him. Therefore, return to Seiya's friend house and talk to her, as she will fully heal him, but be sure to take off your Cloth before going out or you will be spending your Cosmo. After doing it, return to the Colosseum, equip your Cloth and face your current opponent, using the same technique that you used to defeat Shiryu. Seeing that (strangely) Hyoga is much stronger than your previous opponent, it may require two attacks from your Pegasus Meteor to defeat him. Then, you can heal yourself and return to the Colosseum once more for the battle against Andromeda Shun. Talking in the first round will reduce his Life, making your life easier and providing that you can defeat him with just one attack from Pegasus Meteor. As it was supposed to happen, Phoenix Ikki will appear and attack Shun. You will find yourself outside the Colosseum, so just proceed into Seiya's friend house for an healing sequence, defeating some enemies in the way for extra EXP and Cosmo. Now, you can access the menu and press "STATS" to improve some of your stats. You can use your EXP to raise your stats and your cosmo to increase your life (or you can use your life to increase your cosmo, but that isn't generally a very good idea...), so just improve the stats of your character using the EXP and then proceed into Saori's mansion, reaching her in the third room on the right. After talking to her, you can use your cosmo to improve your life, until a maximum value of 40. Now, you should "TRAVEL" to the third location and press the second option, which will make a small scene appear. Proceed all to the right, but be careful with the falling rocks which will damage you. At the end you will find Aires no Mu and you should press the first option twice. You will then be in front of Saori's mansion, so be sure to "TRAVEL" to the first location and follow my guidelines to avoid some trouble: go right, up, right, up on the second entrance, left, up, right until the end, up on the skull, left, and when you see Ikki be sure to equip your Cloth and increase your life and stats up to the maximum, then go talk to him. Once again you just need to boost your attacks to the maximum and strike him like you did to your previous opponents, two or three times will be enough and then you will see a Silver Saint (no idea about his name, sorry ) which will make the cavern collapse. Ikki will tell you to leave and then start fighting this Saint, but then you will find yourself once more in front of Saori's mansion. Enter it and talk to her, she will once more be found in the third room in the right. Now, exit the mansion and you will see the same saint from the cave waiting you, be sure to increase your stats and life to the maximum and then fight him, but don't forget to take your Cloth with you. Be sure to "TALK" to him in the first round and then attack him, or else your attacks won't even damage him. You will be able to stand his attacks, but luckly you will kill him in the second attack at full power. You should then unequip your Cloth and pay a visit to Seiya's friend, who will fully heal him like before. Now, go to the Colosseum, increase your stats and fight that Saint once more, proceeding as before, but this time you won't even need to talk to him in the first round, causing him to be defeated with 3 full power Pegasus Meteor, as he can easily defend the second one (or he won't, if you talk to him before unleashing it). You will then see another small scene with Saori, so be sure to enter her mansion and talk to her as usual. Then, pay once more a visit to Seiya's friend and really talk to her (by touching her), then proceed to the room in the back (you can go there by turning to the right of the television) BUT EQUIP YOUR CLOTH BEFORE GOING, since Lizard Misty, a silver saint, will be expecting you. Marin will warn you, but then Misty will appear and attack you, which you can easily defeat with 2 attacks at full power. After winning, unequip your Cloth and go to the Colosseum, for another scene with Saori in which she reveals who she really is. After a somehow big chat sequence, the Saints will be alone and Saori will be kidnapped by some crows. A cutscene with Ikki and the rest of the guys will take place, Shiryu will blind himself to defeat a Silver Saint and you will finally find yourself in front of Saori's mansion, once more. Enter it and talk to Saori in the usual room. After chatting, go to Seiya's friend house, you will find Shaina in your way and Leo Aioria will then appear, causing Shaina to get seriously injured while protecting Seiya. His attacks won't even bother Aioria, but Saori will appear and save you. After this, go say goodbye to Seiya's friend and "TRAVEL" to the Sanctuary, which should be the first location. A Saint will throw lots of arrows at you, Seiya will then defeat him but Saori was hit! That's not good! :-\ Well, you will now need to travel to the left while defeating those low level Saints, and soon you will find the first Temple: the Aires one! Mu won't fight you and he will even be nice to you, but you will then have to continue further to the left, until you find Aldebaran in the Taurus Temple. DON'T FIGHT HIM RIGHT AWAY, keep on attacking those low class Saints that seem to hang around until you have 999 Cosmo, and then use the EXP and Cosmo to raise your stats and life as much as possible. When you feel ready, equip your Cloth and join Aldebaran in his Temple. As before, raise all your attacks to the maximum and strike him, hopefully he will go down with 2 full power Pegasus Meteor. Once more, proceed to the left, until the Gemini temple with someone inside it. Hyoga won't be able to attack it and will even be thrown into another dimension (or something like that!), and Shun won't cause any damage in the first three turns (I used 3 full powered Andromeda Chains!), but then he will hit the Pope (coff I know his name but I can't spoil it coff) . Hyoga will be in the Aquarius Temple, but he will be frozen... You should now continue to the right until the Cancer Temple, where you will find Deathmask. A blind Shiryu will have to fight, and after 3 full powered attacks he will also be down. Once again you can continue to the right until the Leo Temple, with Aioria in it. Seiya will have to fight him, but he will be easily down with the help from 2 full powered Pegasus Meteor. To the Right once more, this time to the Virgo Temple, where Shaka will be waiting for Shun, who will be easily defeated (nope, you can't win here!), but then Ikki will appear. With his full powered attack you will be able to inflict some damage, but talk to him in the second turn and you will probably be able to hit the finishing attack in that once, making you able to continue your trip to the right. Next it is the empty Libra temple, where Dohko will be heard and you will release Hyoga from his frozen prision, but you won't have to face any battle at all. After resting in this non-battle temple, continuing to the right will make you face Milo in the Scorpion Temple, who will face Hyoga. You can't damage your enemy in the first turn, but apart from that you can defeat him by using your attack at full power in the second and third turns. It is almost sunset and you must continue to the right until the empty temple of Sagitarius, so you can just continue (after having your Cosmo raised by the Cloth in the not-so-empty temple) to the left until you reach the temple of Capricorn, where Shura will have to be confronted by Shiryu. Your first, second and third attacks won't seem to damage him, but at the forth full-power attack he will go down. Continue to the left until you reach the Aquarius Temple, where Kamus will be waiting for Hyoga. You can fully damage him in your first attack, but the second one will be avoided, but he won't avoid the third one and you will hit him for the win. It's night, but you must continue to the left until you face your opponent in the Pisces Temple, where Shun will face Aphrodite (a Golden Saint, not the goddess, hum? :P ). Hit him with all you've got for 4 or 5 turns, and then an event will happen and you will win. Be careful since this may turn into an hard battle, but you must keep on trying and eventually you will win it. After that last battle you will enter in a cutscene with Saga and Seiya, which will end with the both of them fighting. Seiya won't even be able to damage him, but when he gets defeated, Ikki appears. Strangely the most powerful of the bronze Saints won't also be able to damage Saga, and he even gets defeated with the same easy fashion that Seiya was. However, Seiya reappears and he is stronger than ever, thanks to the help of his friends and Saori. Now, just attack with everything you've got, and in a couple turns everything will end. You will see an ending cutscene and then... THE END! 3. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Where can I get this game? A: Hum... no idea... Japan?! Q: Why do you called character X "she" when it should be "he"? A: Or vice-versa? Well, on the few Saint Seiya episodes I've seen, they say that all the female Saints had to use a mask. Therefore, if I don't see someone using a mask, I will him a "he". Q: Are there any secrets in this game? A: I don't think so, sorry... Q: Is this game really perfect? A: In my oppinion, no. B_END.
