I. INTRODUCTION
This is my first attempt at writing a video game FAQ. As Japanese
imports become more popular in the United States, more and more people
need help reading Japanese intense video games because they aren't
familiar with the language. Most can get away with this problem by
playing fighting and adventure games. However, Pia Carrot e Youkoso is
one of those games where conversational skills and making the right
choice will determine your fate. If you don't know Japanese it's pretty
hard to get your desired ending. Doing the guessing game will waste
you much time and cause a lot of frustration.
This FAQ is for the fans who know some Japanese, that want to complete
this game. Sorry, unless I made a complete step by step walkthrough for
each character, those who don't know any Japanese cannot use this FAQ
effectively. I took 2 years of Japanese in college and spent 4 months in
Japan, I'm still far from advanced, but I utilize my handy dictionary
and other resources whenever possible. My knowledge of Japanese Kanji used
in names and their phonetics is horrific, please correct me on any typos, with
character names. Don't e-mail for other typos or grammar usage, cause this
ain't no Term paper! If you have the Jap Win 95 cd rom version please e-mail me.
I would really like to know the true differences, I have all the H-pics, but
need the high resolution regular pics for my homepage, and if you have the
OVA menu 1 and 2 e-mail me, I already have menu 3. I'll be your best friend! :)
And...If you know something I don't please email me and I can add it into the
FAQ, of course you will get credit.
II. WHAT IS THIS GAME
Pia Carrot e Youkoso is a dating simulation originally created by
Cocktail Soft. It's available for Japanese Windows 95 & NEC PC
FX. The Sega Saturn version was released by Kindle Imagine Develop
(KID) on March 12. The PC version has fully nude/erotic pics , and you are
in some of the compromising positions, while the Saturn version has the pictures
fully edited and covered up, you deleted in the positions, and has an extra
character, Airi. This FAQ is based on the SATURN version. I am relatively new
to the dating simulation genre, but I must say this game is great. After
playing this game almost non-stop for 2 weeks, Pia Carrot could possibly be my
favorite game of all time. There is also a sequel available on Jap Win 95 and
a Three part OVA series from Pink Pineapple (I need menu 1 & 2) The OVA is
based exactly on the Pia Carrot game with a Satomi ending.
Pia Carrot is a Japanese import, so you need a converter to play it.
It should be available at import retailers since it's quite popular
overseas. This month's EGM magazine printed Pia Carrot as the number 4
best selling game in Japan for the week of March 15th. And according to Sega
Saturn Magazine its in the top 20 for the week of May 8th. Japanese knowledge is
required for success.
Pia Carrot is considered an adult game, there are warnings on the cover,
however the game is like 10% hentai, and there is no nudity at all. The
most provocative shots are pictures of the girls in lingerie. Most of the stuff
looks more artistic than erotic, and sexual acts are only implied not completely
visualized. The incredible story lines and breath taking moments are what makes
this game memorable, the hentai is just an added touch ;)
III. BRIEF BACKGROUND STORY
You play yourself, if you choose the default name it is Yusuke Kinoshita,
a young 18-year-old just finished with High School. You plan on spending
your last summer with your best friend Daisuke-kun. However, previously
you made a bet with your father, concerning your grades. Your test marks are not
desirable, and you lose the bet, therefore you must live up to your promise and
work at daddy's restaurant, the Pia Carrot.
What seems like what's going to be a lame summer of slave labor,
becomes the greatest and most memorable summer of your life. What
makes things interesting are all the cute girls who work at the Pia
Carrot, and those who dine there.
You already know Shouko-chan, a childhood friend of yours and Satomi-
chan, a classmate and the girl you have a crush on already, will
be working with you. Yet, as the summer goes by the interaction
with other girls is intense and you must choose who you want. There
are a total of nine girls Satomi, Shouko, Reika, Yukiko, Sayori, Airi,
Shiho, Kiyomi, and Yukari, to court after.
Some will be easy to win over, others will require much sacrifices, patience,
gentleness, perseverance, and chivalry. Your goal is to to fall in love with a
girl by the end of the summer, feelings must be mutual, and have her
meet you in the park August 28th after you call her.
IV. GAMEPLAY
You control the daily activities of yourself. The basic day is divided
into three parts, the AM, the Afternoon, and After work. During the AM
you can call someone, use an item, or move to an area. During the
afternoon at 1 PM you start work, at 5pm you get a break till 6 PM.
After work, 9 PM, you have meetings, choose your job for the following
week, and can talk to someone.
There are various interactions and possible outcomes depending on where
you go, where you work, what you do, whom you call, etc that make this
game's replay value phenomenal. On your off day there can be more
options available. Generally you can only save before you go to bed,
and after you wake up. After viewing a scene you can view it again at
the special options menu, same with the FMV movies. To clear all of
these you must beat the game with the different uniform, which seems
like a waste of time.

The Cash card has money in it after your father tells you you got 50000 yen
The Fashion Mag can be bought by going to the Train station +1 style
The Can Can books can be found at the comic show
The Waiter game can be found after your first set of dates with either
Shouko or Reika.
The Rabbit game can be found by calling Daisuke 8/9 AM
You eventually get the schedule and Saori's item when the time is right.
Note, if you haven't met a girl yet her name will not appear on the
profiles and call list. For some characters you must get their phone
number before you can call. The places to move and items will be the same,
if an event is not ready, you cannot go there or if you do not have the item
it will not appear. The unused and missing spaces are blank if you haven't
achieved it on your list, just count spaces if you have a problem.
Special Menu
The special menu option shows the picture memories that you have
encountered. If it's blank, you must keep looking. Basically if the
picture is a uniform picture, you have to go through the game three
times to achieve each different uniform. Omake pictures are available
if you attain the 2 Can Can Bunny books and Airi Fan book and view them during
the game. They can be picked up at the comic show, and talking to Daisuke-kun a
lot. There are eight bonus pictures that can be found by scoring high on
the Rabbit game. 5K, 10k, 20K and 30K, it seems impossible to reach
30K. Try to collect only carrots, that way a flood of carrots will
rain down upon you. When there is 15 seconds left if you jump to the top there
is a door bell which makes you immune to bombs. At 5k it is a Big Satomi
Picture, 10K 3 girl picture, 20K same pic as 3 girl but in bathing suits,
30K..??? The Movie Gallery becomes available after you achieve the FMV
sequences.
VI. STATUS METER & JOBS
The status meter measures your character, from top to bottom they are
Style + Waiter job helps here
Kindness + Be a nice guy
Strength + Stockboy job helps here
Academic power + Study hard
Communication skill + Calling and talking
Notoriety - inverse, the lower the better, do bad things, skip work,
Body Energy + sleep gain 3 points per rest
Status Meter Minimum Requirements
During the game you accumulate so many points that you really don't have to
worry about it. Just watch your energy and bad decision point If your energy
becomes zero you ditch work for the day and gain 2 notorious points.
Here are the minimum status meter requirements for each char, Energy excluded.
Same order as the top the final number is notoriety one and it has to be
less than or equal to, all others are greater than or equal to.
Style, Kindness, Strength, Academics, Communication, Notoriety
S K S A C N
Satomi - 7,7,7,7,7,3
Shouko - 0,0,0,0,0,6
Yukiko - 0,7,0,7,0,4
Reika - 9,0,0,0,0,4

Saori - 0,0,0,0,0,4
Yukari - 0,0,0,0,0,4
Airi - unknown
Kiyomi - 0,0,0,8,0,4
Jobs
There are different jobs available that can affect some status points,
and the people you meet.
In order they are
Waiter = increases style fast, interact a lot with both employees and
customers high
Cashier = slowly style and strength, interaction with employees and
customers
Cook = increases energy and strength slowly, employee interaction only
Vegetable cutter = increases energy slowly, employee interaction only
Dishwasher = ? on status, employee interaction only

VII. BASIC TIPS
-Keep your dictionary handy :)
-Every morning, call, or go see the girl you are after.
-If the girl isn't present go sleep or study.
-Every night after work talk to the girl you are after
-If the girl isn't working that day, or doesn't work at the Pia Carrot,
simply go home
-The Save/Load screen displays a little picture of the girl you are
after, if it starts to like Rumi, start over
-Go after one girl at a time, being a playboy will get you nowhere
-Always be polite and compliment the girl
-Chivalry is the key
-However...once you know the girl you can be somewhat vulgar in
expressing your needs :)
-Don't be so horny, it backfires alot,
-Early on avoid phrases with Hotel or Date in it :P
-You must turn down offers for dates and vacations to win with certain
characters
-Sacrificing sex might be a good idea to win with certain characters
and attain the FMV
-Watch your meters, especially the notoriety one (blue one)
-Avoid losing all your health points
-Observe when the girl has a day off, usually those are key days
-Work at the outside jobs when the girl has a day off, she may come by
to say hi
-Save often, keep track of certain key dates.
-Play the game with a different uniform to get all the scenes
-Hold the C button to Fast forward the frames
-Let the credits roll to see the complete ending, you may miss out on a
true happy ending.

IX. INDIVIDUAL ADVANCED TIPS & IMPORTANT CALENDAR DATES
This game can be a real bummer if you lose, by default you end up
buying your little sister birthday gifts if you are not charming enough
to woo one of the ladies. Next to their name is my personal opinion on
the difficulty in having her fall in love with you, and next to that is
my own personal review of the story, same as the movie system from 1 -
4 stars. Between the important key dates you should follow the basic
tips listed. The important calendar dates are mandatory elements for success.
FMV means when the character's beautiful animation sequence will run.

IX. GETTING STARTED & SAMPLE WALKTHROUGH
For those of you who need help getting started here is a step by step
sample walkthrough which will lead you to a first date with Reika. X
means anything you want. 1, 2, or 3 means choice 1-3, when needed to
make a response. I will make complete walkthroughs if they are in
demand, email me hq9@juno.com if you would like to see individual
complete walkthroughs.
Pop in your disk, Press start etc.
Input your name English is the second one on the left, hiragana is on
the top left, katakana top right, and kanji bottom right. Remember,
Japanese use last name first, so input your family name first, then
your first name.
NOTE : Generally Japanese people call you by your
family name or by your first name, depending on your relationship.
Rumi-chan calls you Onii-san (older brother), you call her Miruku, her
nickname, younger girls call you Sempai (senior, elder etc), you call
way older woman Obaa-chan (Granny), and older women you are familiar with you
call Onee-san (older sister). At home your dad is your dad, but at
work he is the Oonaa (Owner) When you meet them you can usually ask
them what they prefer to be called and they usually ask you the same.
Next pick a color of the uniform you like best, I think Satomi looks
the cutest in the pink one ;). Next choose to start either on 7/25 or
do the full intro. Doing the intro gives you the background story and
a few pictures of Shouko and Satomi.
