SOUKAIGI FAQ
by Chris Murdock
Version 1.1
-----
Soukaigi is copyright 1998 Square/Yuke's. All rights reserved.
-----
This is a FAQ for the new Squaresoft adventure game Soukaigi.
Hopefully this FAQ will help anyone with this very cool game. I don't
mind if this FAQ is used for your own use, however, please credit the
author and the source when using this FAQ.
This FAQ is by no means done. I am still working on the game. I am
currently on Disk 2, and I will add more, as I learn more about the
game.
-----
WARNING: This game contains a fair amount of Japanese. I would highly
suggest that you learn some very basic Japanese characters, and some
basic Kanji before getting serious in the game. Trust me, It DOES
help.
This game is for one player, and uses one block on a memory card.
It is also THREE disks, however, don't let that intimidate you. There
is a lot of movie footage, so it takes up a lot of space on each CD.

STORY: A dark act has caused Mt. Fuji to split in half bringing forth
the Koran. The Koran are creatures whose soul mission is to take over
the Earth. The Koran's power is contained in red, yellow, and blue
crystals. There are also large Koran scattered throughout Japan, and
they must be destroyed in order to save the Earth from the invasion of
the Koran. Brave souls, with the powers of fire, water, wind, earth,
and gold will try and stop the spread of the Koran.
OBJECT: On each level there are Koran stones. You mission is to
destroy all the stones in the level. There may be some stones that you
cannot reach yet, but you can get back to them later when you have the
techniques necessary to destroy them. As you destroy stones you will
receive more power and the monsters in the area will become a little
weaker. As you destroy monsters, you will sometimes receive small
green spheres called Materia (YES, THAT IS RIGHT, it is called
"MATERIA"). The Materia are important because at the start of a new
level, you have the option to distribute the Materia among your various
skills (Check "Gameplay" for more info). There are also colored points
on the ground where you can heal, get your status back, etc.. (Check
"Gameplay" for more info).

MENU TRANSLATIONS:
On the TITLE SCREEN (from left to right):
CONTINUE GAME: Continue a saved game.
NEW GAME: Start a new game.
OPTIONS: Configure the buttons.
On the CONTINUE GAME screen, you have three different save slots that
you can use. They give you the area name and your location. Choose
(from RIGHT to LEFT), File #1, #2 or #3. Press CIRCLE or START to
confirm. The cool thing about this (and I wish they could incorporate
this feature in a RPG), is they give you a summary of the events that
have just happened prior to the level you are going to play. Of
course, none of this helps if you can't read Japanese. Press CIRCLE to
speed up the TEXT.
ON the OPTIONS screen, you can configure your buttons. I would suggest
leaving them the way they are. Pressing LEFT or RIGHT will change
whether the game is in STEREO or MONAURAL. Press START to exit.
On the STAGE SCREEN (with the map of Japan):
(from LEFT TO RIGHT):
MEMORY CARD: Save or Load a game.
BEGIN STAGE: Begin and play the latest level.
SELECT STAGE: Choose a stage to start on.
On the GAME OVER SCREEN:
On the LEFT: Retry.
Top CENTER: Continue.
On the RIGHT: Restart: Go back to the main screen.

CHARACTERS:
I am using the instruction book as a reference point. Start at page 27
for the introduction of the characters.
CONTROLLABLE CHARACTERS:
Naoya Mabui (Page 27)
Male, Age 18
HP: 400
This is the character you start out with. He is average in speed
and power.
Mizuho Mikanagi (Page 31)
Female, Age 18
HP: 300
This character you get after the second stage, but prior to the
second stage boss. She is slightly faster than other characters,
and she has a double jump (the second jump automatically turns
her around).
Daiki Yashima (Page 35)
Male, Age 32
HP: 680
This is the character you get after stage one. He is slower in
speed, but he is one of the more powerful characters. His attacks also
do added damage when they connect.
Hifumi Sudou (Page 39)
Female, Age 25
HP: ???
You won't get this character until Disk 2.
Azusa Kotohira (Page 43)
Female, Age 11
You will get this young girl at the start of stage four. She has
one of the longest reach of any weapon (seeing how it is a bow
and arrow), but she has no close up attack. She also cannot
dash.
Kaname Gabu (Page 47)
Male, Age 20
You get him after you beat him at the end of stage three. He has
no dash, but has powerful up-close attacks.

GAMEPLAY:
All characters have a set amount of max hit points. On the ground,
there are colored dots. For each character, each color does something
different. Each character has an elemental power, i.e., water, fire,
earth, etc.. Depending on the color of the characters element,
(water=blue, fire=red, etc..), you can heal yourself from poison,
refill your hit points, etc..
There is a bar on the far right of the screen, and it shows the Koran
power for that level. By destroying the stones, you can make the
overall level of the Koran weaker, and your power greater. As the
meter goes up, it will go from red to yellow, to blue. Ideally, you
want to get it to blue.
Casting Magic:
Don't know yet. Any Ideas?
