I. Introduction
a. My Thoughts
i. This is my favorite Final Fantasy game so
far. The game introduces a new magic
system that can seem complicated, but can
also be quite simple.
ii. The graphics and anime are astounding in
this game. The game does take a new turn
like FF VII in a real person type of format.
There isn't too much fantasy here, but a
great storyline.
iii. I recommend using this walkthrough as a
guide. It is indexed to make easy reference
to certain sections.
iv. I have explained the GF, Magic Draw, and
Junction in the introduction section of the
game so you have a full understanding of it.
v. I have left the final battle up to you. I am
sure after fighting the TON of Boss
monsters in the game you have figurged it
1. To gain magic to use the Draw
Command. You can draw magic or a
GF from the monster.
2. If you have not has the spell yet the
name will show as ????
3. You can only get 100.
ii. Refine
1. You can refine magic from items or
upgrade magic to new levels.
1. You generally can not cast one spell
on all them monsters. You can cast
double or triple spells to get most of

on all monsters like Ultima.
i. GF, short for Guardian Forces, are a sort of

ii. Each GF can learn certain abilities. These
abilities are several types.
iii. Junction
1. These create spaces for you top
junction your magic to certain
2. Junction to HP and your HP are
raised. Same with Strength and Hit
3. Status Attacks can also be
junctioned. By Junctioning death to
your weapon you can cast Death
when you hit with your weapon.
iv. Abilities
1. These are abilities you are able to
use once your GF has learned them.
They can range from Refining
magic, to healing your party in
battle. See GFs for the list of their
available abilities as they grow.
2. You start off with 4 abilities
3. You can only have three in your
4. Other abilities are created when you
5. You start off with 2, but it can go up
to 4. You can junction things like
a. STR +20%
1. The GFs have HP like the players.
When they are called upon they have
to wait for the bar to reach Zero
before they are called. In that time
any damage you receive will be
taken out of the GF's HP.
2. If a monster uses Demi it takes }
