Do you guys want me to share a link to the game's official guide? it might be useful to people who are working on the game translation.. here's a look at a few of the pages. (Warning, large pictures). OH! it's also in Japanese, NOT English. Spoiler! :

OKay.. i'll upload it now in a minute.. i'll link it on the first post.. it's quite a big zip file mind.. like 650mb(ish). I saved the scans as .bmp purely cos it would keep its quality if someone wanted to resize them or add them all into one .pdf file. |

Wow.... That manual gives away sooooo much! Edit: Oops, I'm an idiot. Here I was thinking it's the "manual" and not a guide book. |

Apparently, various deities existed in the PCE-CD game to change the default growth parameters, maybe that's what it is really. Considering that the PCE-CD version came out first, it could've been an omission on the part of devs, and they just left the text files in there. Wouldn't be surprising, seeing that there are some other bugs - otherwise, I don't know; perhaps it's a good idea to play through some bits of the PCE-CD version to figure that out. As an aside, they really had some cool guidebooks in Japan. No wonder they never needed a site like GameFAQs, hah. |

It seems though this guide book is in fact the OFFICIAL SFC/SNES guide book.. NOT the PCE-CD version. I did extensive research and messaged the seller before buying the guide to make sure I had the right one. I wonder if someone would ever translate this guide book to English as a project? that would be awesome, even if they only translated the guide main pages information. |

Do not read this spoiler unless you want a MAJOR secret of the game spoiled. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Spoiler! :
BIG thanks to SylarDean for posting that book. Without it, who knows if this secret would ever be found. You don't even find mention of it on Japanese walkthroughs or the one on Gamefaqs. |

OH WOW! that's one super hidden secret for chapter 1.. weird they'd do something like that for a first chapter... i'd expect something like this at maybe around chapter 4 considering it's effectively messing around with stats and stuff. NICE FIND! |

hmmmm.. so i ran the writing through an OCR online and it came up with some stuff but it's hard to understand.. i'll post the translations here, maybe someone can make sense of it. I know google translate is utter crap and bing is NOT so good either but its the only two options it offers to translate the japanese.. so i'll post both variations on each scan. Spoiler! :
Interestingly it seems though the PC version of the game you could only upgrade the magic 3 times but the SNES/SFC they upgraded it to 5 times :O Reading further down the translation its mentioning something about finishing the game and starting a new game.. i'm wondering if you have a completed save game file on the game cart and start a new game this hidden place is like a new game + mode maybe? something like Chrono Trigger. Update: Things i have tried to get it working.. 1. Gone as far as entering the last tower in chapter one. 2. Chatted to everyone in all towns and nothing. 3. Fought over 200 battles by checking with the nun using the raise option as she tells you how many battles you have done. 4. Ran in and out of the town and spoke to the man each time about 40 times to see if it's random chat change. I AM actually wondering if it's level based.. maybe you have to be like lvl 15+ or higher (level 20+ maybe) to get him to mention about the shrine. |
