-IMPORTANT NOTE-:  Awhile ago, I recieved E-mail from someone telling me what 

Element some of the questionable Elemental DeathBlows were.  I lost this E-mail.  

Whoever you are, if you read this FAQ again, can you send the E-mail to me 

again?  Thanks!

I. Introduction

---------------



This is a list of all the character DeathBlows and Abilities that can be learned 

in the game.  This FAQ also provides a brief list of the "Special Options" 

available to the various Gears in the game.  This is NOT designed to be a 

walkthrough of any sort, so please refer to another FAQ if that's what you're 

looking for.  This FAQ may be used on your own site, as long as it isn't for any 

commercial purposes and as long as you write me and ask permission first.  Ok?  

Good.. enjoy the FAQ!  If you have any questions or otherwise, you can E-mail me 

at [LightRanma@aol.com].

II. What's New

---------------



Version 1.0 - The original version of this FAQ!

Version 1.1 - Added "What's New" Section, "Thanks" Section, added Yggdrasil IV 

Special Option, fixed spacing errors, fixed minor spelling errors



------------------------

III. Chatacter DeathBlows

------------------------



Legend:



T= Triangle Button (Weak attack)

S= Square Button (Medium attack) 

X= X Button (Fierce Attack)



NOTE: Some DeathBlows can only be learned when you have 7 AP available per turn.  

In this FAQ, these DeathBlows have the words "7 AP" in their descriptions.  From 

what I can remember, your characters get 7 AP available after the Generator 

Battles in Shevat.

NOTE: Some DeathBlows, even when at 100% learned, will only be available when a 

character reaches a certain level.  For example, Fei can learn "Kokei" early in 

the game, but can't actually use it until he gets to Level 70.
