Ver-0.75: Saturday, February 27, 1999
 Okay, the walkthrough is practically finished, and some holes are filled
 in, but there's still a lot missing.

Ver-0.51: Tuesday, February 16, 1999
 It's Yong again, I haven't been doing much lately, but this is my version
 of the walkthrough, it's pretty much a combination of Kain's, and some
 additions that I found. Walkthrough Disc 2 is still in the works, and
 Disc 1 is nearly done, look for future updates.

Ver-0.50: Sunday, January 24, 1999
 Like I said big updates, all we need to do on the walkthrough now is finish
 the final dungeon, and finish the first disc. Hope you like it :)

Ver-0.40: Friday, January 22, 1999
 Long time no see, well here's the latest ver, with walkthrough through
 up to Gate 1. (All we have to do with the walkthrough now is type it,
 disc 2 also!!, well excepting the Final Dungeon expect an update soon
 with LOTS more)

Ver-0.30: Monday, December 14, 1998
 More updates to the walkthrough, it now covers up to the Intruder
 on Shevat.

Ver-0.20: Friday, December 10, 1998
 Wow, I can't believe I'm able to update again. Lots of additions to the
 Walkthrough. Its now all the way up to the attack on the Thames. I also
 added in some of the levels required to get some of the abilities (not
 much)

Ver-0.10b: Friday, December 10, 1998
 Since I'm off for winter break now, I updated the FAQ. Basically misc.
 spelling errors, but I also added the walkthrough up to the Thames, a
 Table of Contents, and a few more FAQ's at the bottom.

Ver-0.10: Thursday, December 09, 1998
 Okay, finals are coming, and all 3 of us are really busy. Since we said
 that we would release this FAQ to mainstream sites this week, we will.
 There are a LOT of missing holes, and we've gotten the walkthrough up to
 Kislev. I also got the Game Shark codes, but am missing some codes. The
 grading system for characters is in, but not completed yet.

Ver-0.01: Saturday, November 28, 1998
 This is the initial release, the 3 of us has come together and combined
 our 2 FAQ's together. I have yet to release one of mine, but SamULGib
 has. Included: Characters, Walkthrough Disc 1 up to Stalactite Cave, a
 lot of the appendix. Thie FAQ is very messy right now, I'll clean it up
 later. There are also missing holes of info that I'll eventually get.

Enemies are set up like this
 Name(Size, R for regular, G for Gear): XP/G, item received

Chapter I-Lahan Village
 Stuff to get:
  200G
  Aquasol (x5)
  Eyeball
  Aquasol S
  Power Ring
  RPS Badge
  120G
  Mermaid Tear
 Enemies:
 (World Map-Grassland)
  Lil' Kobold(R): 3/0, Fencing Cap
  Hobgob(R): 2/0, Hob-Jerky(Hob-Steak if burned)
  Hopper(R): 8/0, Fencing Wear
    When you get control of Fei, examine the bed to get your hidden money,
  200G. Rest in bed if you like, there isn't much point to do so. You can
  examine the paintings to get a close-up view of them. Walk out of your
  room. In the northern room, you can talk to the maid about your arrival
  to Lahan. In the western room, check both barrels to get 2 Aquasols. If
  you jump and examine the northeastern corner, you'll get a spider web,
  used way later in the game. When you're ready, head upstairs.
    You can talk to the people upstairs to learn a bit about what's going
  on in Lahan, when you're done, head outside. You can talk to Dan
  outside, he asks you to steal Alice away from Timothy, it really doesn't
  matter what you choose, it doesn't seem to affect the game in any way.
    Go around to the back of the house you came out of, and talk to the
  old man in the field with the cow. Keep talking to him until he gives
  you 2 Aquasols.
    In the middle of town, there is a well, jump down the well. When Fei
  gets back out, you'll  get an eyeball. Keep jumping down the well until
  you get an Aquasol S, and a Power Ring.  The woman standing by the cow
  north of the well will give you an Aquasol if you tell her that it isn't
  weird.
    When that's done, go to the southeast house, where you'll find a boy
  who wants to play rock-paper-scissors. If you can manage to beat him 5
  times in a row, you'll get an RPS Badge, not used till way later. Go on
  downstairs and talk to the old lady. Tell her that you like Lahan, and
  she'll give you 120G.
    Go on to the bar, the northeastern building. Talk to the people. the
  guy in blue will ask you if you have a problem, tell him that drinking
  won't solve anything. He'll give you a Mermaid Tear, also used much
  later on in the game.
    There's not much else to do, explore the village a bit. The north-
  western house is a general store, the southwestern house is a beginner's
  hall. If you go there, you'll meet Lucca from Chrono Trigger, making a
  cameo appearance. She'll offer to explain about the memory cube, don't
  let her, or she'll take 28G from you. You can leave the village via
  the southern entrance to go to the world map, not much to do there, cept
  to fight a little, some enemies might give you some fencing wear.
    When you're satisfied with your exploration, go to the eastern house
  and talk to the lady standing outside. She'll let you in. Talk to
  Alice's aunt if you want, but head upstairs when that's done. Alice
  needs you to go to Citan's house in the mountains.


Chapter II-Mountain Path
 Stuff to get:
  Aquasol x3
  Bird Egg
  Spider
  Midori's Ring
 Enemies:
 (Mountain Path)
  Jackal(R): 3/0, -
  Hobgob(R): 2/0, Hob-jerky(Hob-steak if burned)
    Leave Lahan via the northern exit to end up in the Mountain Path.
  You'll start off in a passage, head north to the memory cube, save if
  you want. Go eastward and follow the path going up. Keep with the
  ascending path, turning east, you'll reach a ledge with a chest, nab it
  for an Aquasol.
    Head back to the memory cube. In between the white sign and the cube,
  there's a narrow passage going up to a lone tree. Climb it and jump
  through the tree. You'll find a bird egg, however the mother of the egg
  will follow you, poking you for 1 damage every so often if you don't
  return it. If you want, go ahead and return it, it will only be used
  as a background item to make you a bit fatter soon.
    Follow the path to the west of the cube, until it winds up to a young
  boy. Talk to him to learn about running+jumping. Use his technique to
  jump the ledge west of him. Go north across the bridge. Drop down and
  take the chest under the bridge for another Aquasol. Head back and
  follow the path until you reach another white sign.
    Jump through the tree west of the sign, and examine the spider that's
  crawling up and down the tree. You'll get a spider. You won't use the
  spider till much later in the game.
