Hm, if someone can figure a way to "dissect" this ROM and get the Japenese text out of it, I can try to make an English translation... although I don't speak a word of Japanese.
I'd probably use a translator, and then reword the text to fit and make sense.

 

Hmm. There's no need for a translation since an English one is expected to come out this Fall. This is just temporary help for those that are stuck or don't know what to do.

 

Does anyone know how to activate the limit breaks?

I've only been playing mission mode, just to try out all the different characters. And I don't want to ruin anything that can be ruined. lol, I'm weird.

When I get low life, there is a little golden 'LIMIT' displayed near my health. I'm sure when you reach 'gold' life you can use limit breaks, no? Does anyone know how?

Also, anyone know the whole grid customization thing? How do you use it?

Thank you.


EDIT: You should correct that double tapping R locks on to the next opponent. Also the Y button can be used with on-screen prompts to use alternative combos.

 

If someone could just post a translation of the menu & options that would be great i dont mind messing about just dont want to erase/overwrite the wrong bit
Im just going through all the tutorial stages at the mo will post if i get stuck or can help

 

Anybody figure out how the grid works yet?
All I've got is the more potions you put in it the more you have in inventory. Same with ether. Also have a new keyblade in there,three level up squares, and a ring/bracelet. Also you put magic in the grid. I have a fusion that takes my three fires and allows me to use 6. I have another fusion that doesn't do anything.

how many hidden characters do we have here?
and
who are these characters

 

The grid is quite simple, even though it takes a while explain.

As you figured out, you can put all kinds of stuff in there. Magic, weapons, accessories, items, everything.

1st, you have the items. Each item panel is a 1-shot panel (example: you put 3 potions into it, use one during a mission, after the mission you only have 2 potions)

Next, weapons. You can only equip one at a time (even though it would be nice to have Roxas dual wield keyblades) and the ones with a link zone (the fusion panels you referred to) can be equipped with Strength, Defense and/or Ability (no idea on what this does. Maybe it has to do with the Y button combos?) panels.

Magic is almost the same as items, except they are 1-shot-per-mission panels (unless you use an Ether). The fusion panel, or Link panel you placed your Fires into multiplies the number of panels inside its Link zone by the number on the panel.

Abilities are usually one space panels that grant your character special commands (Air Recovery, Dodge Roll, Libra a.k.a. Scan).

Level up Panels increase your levels, and get Link panels that increase the number of levels each gives you.

Accessories increase the status levels of your character, and, as of now, I couldn't equip more than one at a time, but I will try again with after messing a little with my grid.

Finally, you get more space on the grid by getting some panels at the end of some missions or buying them at the shop. The same happens with Lv panels.

PS: You can only link panels of the same type (magic can't link with weapon panels)

 

I forgot about that.

The link panels are the ones that, besides the normal panel, have an additional blue outline that you can put panels of the same type on (this outline being the Link zone).

 

Just cast magic then kill the enemies that appear.

 

What do we do on Day 12?
