Battle Field 01

Beginning of the map

Flunky
Alright, let's get'em!
Thief leader
Attaboy! That's the spirit.
But, don't be too hasty. You
need to pick a card first.
Flunky
A card...?
Thief leader
A Tactics Card. The Cards are
crucial in battle,guys.
I'll go over this again, so
listen up.
Everything we can do in 1 turn
is written on the card.
Flunky
Oh,really? Like what?
Thief leader
Well, like "Mov," see? That
determines your Movement.
Flunky
You know I'm the fastest
runner, Boss!
Thief leader
Quiet, you! We're talking
about distance, not speed!
Flunky
Huh? B-But...
Thief leader
You can only move as many
steps per turn as the Mov.
Flunky
Oh. Then, I'll pick this "12"
card and go 12 steps ahead--
Thief leader
Wrong! Will you just listen
for one minute!?
Movement isn't just yours;it
belongs to everyone.
If you use all 12 steps, no
one else can move an inch.
Flunky
Oh, my bad! I didn't mean to
hog the card all to myself.
Thief leader
You can use all your Movement
on one guy if you want, but...
Going in solo is just cruising
for a bruising.
Flunky
Boss, what's this number next
to "POW"?
Thief leader
Oh, that? That's "Power."
The bigger the number, the more
damage dealt to the enemy!
Flunky
I get it... Where'd you learn
all this, Boss?
Thief leader
Whaddaya mean? Everyone
should know this stuff!
Flunky
Well, then what's this icon?
It looks just like my weapon!
Thief leader
That's the "Ace Type."
Flunky
The... Are you making this up?
Thief leader
No! It's the condition for a
unit to become the Ace.
You use axes, so...
Pick a card with an axe and
you'll be that turn's Ace.
Flunky
Seriously? Awesome!
...Um, so what's an Ace?
Thief leader
You guys... The Ace is the point
man for attacks.
He can do various things
besides that, but...
I dunno if you numbskulls can
understand it all.
Flunky
Oh! Oh! I have a question, too!
Thief leader
Alright, last one. What now ?
Flunky
The guys won't tell me what a
"Skill" is. Is it... you know...?
Thief leader
What are you talking about?
It's a special move.
Flunky
Oh, I knew it! That's so cool!
Thief leader
Uh, right... Sorry to burst your
bubble, but...
That stuff is above your guys'
level for now.
Flunky
Awww, man...
Thief leader
Ahh, buck up. You'll be able
to use'em someday.
Anyways, pick a card and let's
get to it.
Here we go!

First card chosen

Thief leader
Hey, I know you want to get
started right away...
But, let's review movement
just to be on the safe side.
Flunky
You mean how to move us units
on the Field Map?
Thief leader
First, use the +Control Pad and
move the cursor to a unit.
Then, press the A Button to
display the Movement Range.
Flunky
You mean those white squares?
Thief leader
Yep. You can move anywhere
within those panels.
Flunky
Okay. Lead the way, Boss.
Thief leader
Press the +Control Pad to
move in that direction.
To confirm your move, press
the A Button.
Flunky
Wait, wait, don't tell me... the
B Button cancels, right?
Thief leader
Right. And of course, moving
1 panel takes 1 Movement.
Flunky
That's the number at the bottom
of the card?
Thief leader
That's right. That indicates
your remaining Movement.
Once it hits 0, no one can move
anymore for that turn.
Flunky
Don't worry, Boss. I'll
remember!
Thief leader
Alright! Then, let's go!

Next to enemy

Flunky
Boss, the enemy's nearby!
Thief leader
Time for a few pointers on
battle, then.
First, select the unit you
want to lead the attack.
You do that by moving the
cursor onto it.
Flunky
Can it be anyone?
Thief leader
Sure, so long as they're
standing next to the enemy.
Flunky
Oh, okay! Maybe I better take
notes... Did I leave my pen...?
Thief leader
Uhh... Anyway, so after you
highlight a unit, press START.
The screen will switch to
Attack Mode.
Flunky
How do we decide who to fight?
Thief leader
You pick your opponent with
the +Control Pad.
Flunky
When I highlight one, the
enemies are listed by name.
Thief leader
That's the Battle Order.
That shows the order that the
listed units will fight in.
Flunky
How about those icons next to
the names, like ○ and △?
Thief leader
Good question. That's the
Prediction Mark.
Location, the units' abilities,
weapon affinities...
Those all factor into the
Prediction Mark rating.
Flunky
With info like this, we can't
lose! Am I right, guys?
Thief leader
Uhh... no. It's only a prediction.
Don't rely too heavily on it.
Flunky
S-Sure!
Thief leader
If you think you've got a good
chance, press the A Button.
That'll give you one last
confirmation screen...
Press A Button there, and it's
time for battle!
Flunky
B-But we can still use the B
Button to cancel...

Win

Flunky
Wooo! We won, Boss!
Thief leader
Psh, was there any doubt? We'd
never lose to those weaklings.
Flunky
Still, we're on a roll! C'mon,
let's keep the streak going!
Thief leader
Well... You can't. You can only
battle once per turn.
Flunky
Awww... Then we just gotta sit
on our hands?
Thief leader
Oh, no. you can still move if
you've got Movement left.
It's just the unit that did
battle who can't.
Flunky
Oh, so that's why the lead
attacker's unit is grey...
Thief leader
Once you're done with
everything...
press the L Button and select
"End Turn."
Flunky
Hey, another confirmation
screen!
Thief leader
That's the one. Press the A
Button to end the turn.

1 enemy left

Flunky
We've got'em on the run,
Boss.
Thief leader
Yeah! That'll teach'em to
mess up our hideout.
I'm sure you noticed when you
were fighting, but...
If all your men fall during a
clash, you lose.
Flunky
So long as we all survive,
we win, don't we?
Thief leader
Yeah. But if your unit loses...
Morale will decrease according
to how bad you got whomped.
Flunky
So, if we lose big time, our
Morale will go down a lot...?
Thief leader
It depends a lot on the card's
Power, too.
Flunky
Well... What if the unit's
Morale hits 0?
Thief leader
You saw for yourselves with
those enemies we fought...
Units with 0 Morale are
outta there.
Flunky
Yeesh... Hey! Guys! Try not to
lose, okay?

Battle Field 02

Next to enemy

Milanor
Are you sure you can fight?
Yggdra
I have only held this sword
for a few days, it's true...
...But, my will is stronger than
anyone else's!
Milanor
That's... not as reassuring as
you probably think.
Alright, I'll teach you a
little trick.
Yggdra
A little trick?
Milanor
Yeah. It's easy, so you'll have
no problem using it.
Try holding Left or Right
while in a clash.
It'll change your troop's
tactics a bit.
Yggdra
Hold Right for Aggressive,
and Left for Passive moves.
Milanor
"Aggressive" is just like it
says.
Your Power will increase, so
battles will be easier.
Yggdra
I see how that would prove
useful...
Milanor
But the gauge at the top'll
drain, so be careful.
Yggdra
I understand.
Milanor
Now "Passive," on the other
hand, is a slower style.
Your Power will go down, but
the gauge'll increase.
It's best to use it against
real cream puffs.
Yggdra
I understand now. Thank you.
Milanor
(Is she just saying that...?)
Alright. Let's both give it
everything we've got!

Win

Yggdra
Um...I have a question about
battle...
Milanor
Hm? What's up?
Yggdra
Does something special happen
when the gauge fills up?
Milanor
Well... Not right now...
Yggdra
......?
Milanor
Later, you'll be able to use
Skills when that bar is full...
But, right now you just don't
have the know-how.
Yggdra
Oh, I see...
Then, I shall master those
skills... to free my kingdom!
Milanor
Attagirl!

Beginning of the first enemy's turn

Milanor
Oh, I almost forgot to tell
you...
Yggdra
Yes?
Milanor
Have you noticed the enemy's
gauge?
Yggdra
The enemy's gauge...?
Milanor
That little gauge under the
enemy during a clash.
Yggdra
Oh! I have, now that you
mention it...
Milanor
That's the "Rage Rate."
It builds up over time, and
has 3 states.
Normal mode is when the Rage
Rate isn't full.
Rage mode starts when the
gauge fills all the way...
If it fills all the way twice,
that starts up MAX mode.
Yggdra
So... Normal, Rage, then MAX.
Milanor
Their power increases in Rage
and MAX modes, so be careful.
Yggdra
MAX is where the enemy is at
their limits, right?
Then, should we be careful
against these men?
Milanor
Heh... Judging by these guys...?
Nah, I'd say we've got nothing
to worry about for now.

Battle Field 03

Battle Field 3-2 First card chosen

Yggdra
Durant, there are so many
enemies...
Can't we make up for the
difference in numbers?
Durant
As you say, we are at a
disadvantage,but...
There is a proven strategy to
defeating large armies.
Yggdra
What is it?
Durant
It utilizes formations, and is
known as "Uniting."
Milanor
Formations,huh... Not something
you pick up as a thief.
Flunky
Yeah, this's the first I've
heard of it, Boss.
Durant
Then, allow me to explain.
Uniting is where several units
join forces against an enemy.
Yggdra
...So all units should Unite?
Durant
Where possible, yes. However,
there are limitations...
Unions can only form in certain
points around the Union Leader.
Milanor
(Union Leader...? He must mean
the lead attacker.)
Flunky
(My thoughts exactly, Boss.)
Durant
Now, about those certain
points...
Formations have 2 types.
The first Formation is the
"x type."
This is when male unit
becomes the Union Leader.
Milanor
That's the type for you and
me,right?
Durant
Indeed,Esq.Milanor,we are
both males.
Here, other units should be
diagonal from the Leader.
The other Formation is the
"+ type..."
This is the Formation that
occurs with a female Leader.
Yggdra
Which would be me.
Durant
Precisely, Princess.
Units should be directly in
line with the Leader.
Milanor
Hmmm... It sounds hard to pull
off.
Durant
I assure you, it's less
difficult than it seems.
You can check Formations in
the Battle Order,so...
I've no doubt you'll get used
to them soon enough.
Milanor
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Yggdra
We should definitely be careful
of everyone's position now.

Battle Field 3-2 Second card chosen

Durant
Princess, there is one more
thing to consider in battle.
Yggdra
What is that?
Durant
We must listen to the people.
There are all manner of people
living in this land.
They're displayed as icons on
the Field Map, so...
If you have time, you should
pay them a visit.
Yggdra
Thank you. I'll remember that.
Milanor
Yeah... Hey, they might even
give you some treasure!
Yggdra
............

Battle Field 04

First card chosen

Milanor
Looks like the enemy leader
here is a knight.
Durant
Indeed, it would appear so.
Best to leave him to you,
Esq. Milanor.
Yggdra
I'll fight, too!
Durant
Ah... Your weapon affinity may
make it difficult, Princess...
Yggdra
My... weapon affinity?
Durant
Just so.
Each weapon type reacts to
other weapons differently.
Spears are strong against
swords, swords against axes...
And axes are, naturally,
strong against spears.
Yggdra
I wield the Holy Sword, so...
Durant
A spear-using Knight would be
especially strong against you.
Yggdra
I guess I should hold back...
Milanor
Ahh, just leave him to me!
Durant
But, Esq. Milanor!
Milanor
Huh?
Durant
The soldiers around him all
carry swords, so stay alert...
Milanor
Tch... Alright. I'll leave the
small fry to you!
Durant
I swear upon my lance to lead
us to victory!

Battle Field 05

First card chosen

Milanor
A lakeside battle, huh? Nice
place for a clash.
Durant
The blue squares represent
water.
Yggdra
Are we going to fight in the
water?
Durant
Alas, it would be impossible
for us to enter the water.
Only Undines can effectively
fight in aquatic territory...
One's Move type must be
"Swim," in other words.
Milanor
Geez, what a bothersome
piece of terrain...

Battle Field 06

6-2 First card chosen

Yggdra
Why is the Empire here...?
Durant
Those masked soldiers are
Assassins... They wield bows.
Milanor
Bows, huh?
Hey Durant, what weapon's
strong against bows?
Durant
As the chart shows, our swords,
spears, and axes... let me see...
Compared to the other two
types, bows and rods...
Ah! Our weapons are strong
against bows and weak to rods.
Milanor
Huh. Sounds like everything's
going our way, then!
Durant
Quite. But, we still must be
careful.

Battle Field 07

Beginning of the map

Durant
Up ahead is Florand, where
Queen Emelone resides.
Princess, are you not tired
from the constant fighting?
Yggdra
No, I'm fine. It's regrettable,
but I've become used to it.
Milanor
Yeah, she's starting to look
like a pro...
I think she's ready for
special moves!
Durant
Then, I will instruct you on
using Skills.
First, the necessary
conditions:
The "Ace Type" of the card
picked at the turn's start...
...and the Union Leader's Weapon
Type, must be identical.
If that condition is not met,
you cannot use the Skill.
Yggdra
I carry the Holy Sword, so...
If I pick a card with a sword
icon on it...
Ah! "Banish" shall suffice.
Then, on that turn...
If I become the Union Leader,
everybody can use the Skill?
Durant
Exactly.
For future reference,units
that can become the Ace glow...
So, there needn't be any
doubt as to the candidates.
Yggdra
I understand. Thank you.
Milanor
Now, I'll tell you how to use
these Skills you've set up.
Skills are used in battle.
But, you can only use skills
when the gauge is full.
You can either wait for it to
fill up, or use Passive Mode.
...When it fills up, take a good
look at the gauge.
Yggdra
?
Milanor
You should see either an "A"
or "B" icon.
That tells you which control
type the Skill is.
Yggdra
There's a difference between
controlling A and B types?
Milanor
You got it.
First, I'll explain the A
type.
For the A type, just press the
A Button to initiate it.
The Skill will last as long as
you hold down the A Button.
While you do so, of course,
the Skill Gauge'll go down...
So if you want to end it early,
just let go of the A Button.
Yggdra
Hold A Button to use, let go
to stop... I understand.
Milanor
Alright. now on to B type
Skills.
When you press the B Button...
The "Charge Gauge" appears.
As you hold B Button down,
the gauge will fill up.
When it's full, let go to use
the Skill.
Once you use it, though the
gauge'll reset.
Yggdra
Hold the B Button to charge,
and let go when full... Right?
Milanor
Now you're getting it!
Yggdra
I should be able to handle it,
I feel.
Durant
Princess, some Skills have
specific conditions.
Milanor
No one but me can use Steal,
for example.
Durant
You can see the details at the
Card Status screen.
It may be prudent to check
them when you have time.
Yggdra
I understand. I'll take it
one step at a time.

Second card chosen

Milanor
These guys aren't kidding
around!
Yggdra
Those proud warriors of water
will not let us pass easily.
Durant
These foes share one of our
strong points. Like us...
...They can use skills when
their Rage Rate is at MAX.
Yggdra
We should be aware of what card
the enemy is using,as well.
Durant
Know thine enemy...
Understanding his abilities is
the first step toward victory.
Milanor
What a pain... Well, it's better
than getting trounced, I guess.

Water frozen

Milanor
Hey, the water froze!
Durant
Such is the effect of the
Undine's Diamond Dust.
That skill changes standing
water into ice.
Yggdra
My goodness...
Durant
Ah, I suppose you've never seen
an entire lake freeze over.
This will affect our strategy,
so I should explain somewhat.
Ice is a temporary geographic
feature when water freezes.
When this happens, we can move
on formerly impassable land.
Yggdra
Oh, how useful!
Durant
However...
By noon the next day, the ice
will melt and revert to water.
Milanor
Wait one minute!
What happens to us if we're
standing on it at the time ?
Durant
Unfortunately, we would sink
to the bottom...
Yggdra
R-Really!?
Durant
Quite so. Please, be careful
when moving about on the ice.

Battle Field 08

A card chosen after Ankh attack

Yggdra
That light... I feel a strong
energy from it.
Milanor
If someone gets hit by that,
it's over!
Durant
What manner of device has such
power behind it...?
Roswell
Heh... It's pure, crystallized
magic itself... The Ankh.
Yggdra
The...Ankh?
Roswell
I see... I'll explain the Ankh
myself, then.
The Ankh is a weapon that can
amplify magic many times over.
That energy becomes light, and
rains down on the enemy...
But, you saw it yourself. That
light is our power.
Milanor
That's crazy...
Roswell
That light shall lead us to
victory.
Durant
It sounds somewhat similar to
our Cannons...
Roswell
Ha... It can't be compared to
such crude weaponry.
Our Ankh is a work of art. In
addition...
it can be used at night,
unlike those useless cannons.
Yggdra
What a dangerous weapon...
Roswell
It's folly to fear power. What
matters is he who wields it.
Yggdra
............

Battle Field 12

First card chosen

Yggdra
What is that?
Milanor
Hm? What is what?
Yggdra
That thing that looks like...
large, wooden scales.
Durant
That is a catapult,a weapon
used in battle.
Catapults can launch rocks at
the enemy while you attack.
Milanor
Oh? That could come in handy.
Yggdra
How do you use it?
Durant
While preparing your attack...
Simply include the catapult
in your formation.
Milanor
So, they work just like
regular Unions, huh?
Durant
That is correct. But, remember...
You can only use catapults
on your turn.
Yggdra
What happens to them when it
isn't our turn?
Durant
There is a chance the enemy
will use the catapults, too.
Yggdra
We must guard against that.
then...

Battle Field 15

First card chosen

Durant
Princess, we have almost
reached Paltina.
Yggdra
Yes, we have...
For Mother, Father... and all
the fallen soldiers...
I swear upon this sword, I
will reclaim our capital!
Milanor
Well, you sound ready and
raring to go!
But, the Capital's gonna be
filled with enemies.
We've got a way to compensate
for that, right Durant?
Durant
Of course, Esq. Milanor.
It is a technique that expands
on the Union system...
It is called Linking.
In the Link system...
It's possible to expand your
Union...
...by linking from units within
the formation.
Yggdra
We can cover more ground that
way,right?
Durant
That is correct.
Just like formations,links
have 2 types.
Yggdra
I see... The shapes are the same,
"X" and "+", but shorter.
Milanor
Well, that's easy enough to
remember.
Durant
Unlike the Empire, we have a
very limited number of troops.
We must unite and fight
together if we hope to win.

Battle Field 29

First card chosen

Yggdra
It is rather hot here...
Durant
Are you alright, Princess?
Yggdra
Yes...I'm fine.
Milanor
I wish I could tell you to
take a rest, but...
Without you, there'd be no
mission.
Durant
From here on is the scorching
Nyllard Desert.
Beyond that is our destination:
the Holy Land.
Milanor
A desert,huh... This won't be
an easy trip.
Durant
Indeed not. Marching through
the desert can be trying.
Excluding flying units, such
as Lady Kylier...
All units can only move 1
square per turn on the desert.
Milanor
What a royal pain... No offence,
Princess.
Durant
Fortunately, there is Minel
Road, made for merchants.
It would be best to stay close
to that road.

Battle Field 41

First card chosen

Yggdra
It looks like we must advance
through here...
Milanor
The air's kind of a funny
color here...
Elena
...Everyone, be careful.
Drominos is filled with
poisonous marshes.
The poison marshes are purple,
so look out for them...
Every turn spent in the poison
marsh will result in damage...
Keep an eye on your remaining
Morale.
Milanor
Well, let's just sprint right
through this muck, then!
Elena
That will be difficult... You
see, this is a marsh, so...
Just like deserts, you can
only move 1 square per turn.
Yggdra
Can't we avoid them?
Elena
This is the only path to the
Imperial Capital...
We must simply steel ourselves
for it.
Milanor
...I guess we don't have any
choice in the matter.
Nothing like swamp warfare
to brighten your day...
