Introduction: Greetings to all readers! When I first created this guide, I was working with the Japanese version of the game, and I'm happy that people who used it found it very useful. Now that the English version has come, I thought that it was time to make the necessary corrections and additions to the guide. To those who are
still playing with the Japanese version, I hope this version will help you figure out what's happening in the game. Enjoy! ------------------------ Basic Commands: X button = Accept Triangle button = Cancel ------------------------ ------------ Title Screen ------------ The title screen presents three choices: Story Records Settings
