HINTS / STRATEGIES First, here are the usual Yahoo! USA Babel Fish, http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ and Google USA Translate. http://translate.google.com/ Second, some arbitrary blogs and sites, in Japanese, with useful cheats, hints, and strategies. http://www.g-res.com/SuperFami/Ha/HA-SailorMoonAnother.html http://www20.atwiki.jp/urawaza/pages/228.html http://chifish.blog114.fc2.com/blog-category-3.html http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1429640074 http://gf24.web.infoseek.co.jp/sm-main.html http://gf24.web.infoseek.co.jp/sm-kouryaku.html http://jp.wazap.com/game/%E7%BE%8E%E5%B0%91%E5%A5%B3%E6%88%A6%E5%A3%AB%E3%82%BB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3+-Another+Story-/1554/ http://sdf107.fc2web.com/ura/sfc/hi/009.html 5.1 HIDDEN ITEMS - Hikawa Jinja In Juubanchou, at the Hikawa Jinja, Usagi chan stands before the donation box, and press A. Usagi chan rings the bell, claps her hands, and pays respect to the shrine. - Harumi By bus, go to Harumi. Go to the harbour or port, where many containers are. Go behind the container marked "H-20". Search the left side of a container, to get a Sutajio Janpa- (Studio Jumper). The player can sell this at a shop near the Mugen Gakuen, for 30,000 Yen. - Silver Millennium After the Sailor Senshi acquire the Ark (ship, not box), go to Silver Millennium. In Silver Millennium, in Queen Serenity's room, beside Queen Serenity, search behind the two curtains. From the right curtain is a Niji no Ribon (Ribbon of Rainbow). From the left curtain is a Niji no Hanegazari (Plume of Rainbow). Both items are useable by Sailormoon. (IMO, this hint is common sense amongst RPG players. The adventurers always bump into, click, examine, search, or otherwise try to interact with everyone, everything, or everywhere in a screen (which are, IMO from the NPCs' point of view, a nuisance), for any potential hidden event or item; even in, for instance, the... event CG in the adventure games published by elf, such as "Dragon Knight 4" and "[el]".) 5.2 HIDDEN COMMANDS - All Sailor Senshi begin at Lv 16. In the title screen, while holding X, press START to begin the game. When successful, all Sailor Senshi begin at Lv 16. - All Sailor Senshi begin at Lv 99. Connect two controllers to the SFC. Wait for the demo screen to appear. While holding A on the 2P controller, press these on the 1P controller: Up, up, down, down, left, left, right, right, up, up, down, down, left, left, right, right, up, down, left, right, up, down, left, right, B, X, L, R When successful, Sailormoon's voice says "Onegai, Ginsuisho!". In the load screen, choose "Atarashiku hajimeru" to begin a new game. Sailormoon's attributes become: Status: Genki Lv: 99 HP: 999 / 999 EP: 12 / 12 All other Sailor Senshi who join the game later, also begin at Lv 99. 6. COMMENTS (Just Rambling) "Sailormoon haters unite!" I acquired and played this game back in the late '90s, when I was (and is) a Sailormoon-basher, and founder of the Sailormoon Haters Union amongst the English Usenet newsgroups (until '98); and we had mildly more members (yes, the both of us) than the similarly out-numbered, out-gunned, and out-flamed Gundam CCA (Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counter Attack) Quess Paraya Fan Club. (Yes, I liked to live dangerously. How did you know?) This game uses IIRC the early Final Fantasy game engine, with its characteristic noseless SD (super deform) chara designs. I played this game because I could and would, while IMO most Sailormoon fans amongst the newsgroups probably would, but couldn't. As I played it, I probably wrote down hints or maybe a strategy guide about it (an hobby of mine is to write down notes as I play or watch a game), but I lost that text file in one of the hard drive crashes, aeons ago. BTW, I couldn't or didn't complete the game. My last save game was outside the room that the party entered to fight the last battle, or maybe second-last battle, against a boss monster. ISTR the party must include Sailormoon and Sailorchibimoon? After many tries of different Sailor Senshi, formations, and link waza (link techniques), my party just couldn't win. Sailoruranus was the strongest. Sailorjupiter, Sailormars, maybe Sailorneptune, and maybe Sailorsaturn were also strong, IIRC. Sailorpluto was optional; although she had Time Stop, her attacks weren't strong enough. My party tried yomping about and fighting more random monsters to gradually level up a wee bit more, but this was slow, didn't seem to matter against the boss monster, and I gave up. I probably learnt the "Lv 16" and "Lv 99" undocumented features too late, when I was already chapters into the game, and was unwilling to restart from scratch, and to replay the parts that I already played. Anyway. A couple months ago (2009 October), I finally cleared some decade-old bumph (in my room), and dug up some hints for some anime-based games from game mags that I photocopied, eh, collected, about, well, a decade ago. I noticed GameFAQs.com already has some, well, game FAQs for this game, but I decided I might share and type out these hints for fellow anime-based gamers and maniacs. WRT Sailormoon, IIRC, its manga version came out in '91, and its TVA (TV anime) version came out in '92. Although I'm not a Sailormoon fan, or technically I'm an aggressor and anti-fan (who happened to have transliterated the lyrics of some Sailormoon songs from Japanese to Ro-maji, as exercise), I was however impressed that Sailormoon's voice actress, Mitsuishi Kotono, subsequently voiced Misato san (NERV Captain (later Major) Katsuragi Misato) in EVA (Shinseiki Evangelion). Less impressively, Sailoruranus's voice actress, Ogata Megumi, who also voiced Eagle Vision and Princess Emeraude in Rayearth (Mahou Kishi Rayearth), subsequently voiced Shinji kun (Ikari Shinji) in EVA. (FYI, I watched all of the first, original version of TVA EVA, and lost interest in EVA, and other anime or games by Gainax ("Death to Gainax!"), sometime between the first TVA EVA and the first EVA movie. BTW, the '95-'96 TVA season was IMO a dark year. In the anime chara popularity polls done by the anime mags at the end of that year, the two most popular chara, female and male, were both suicidal, if not also homicidal: Ayanami Rei of EVA, and Heero Yuy of GW (Shin Kidou Senki Gundam Wing, not to be confused with the earlier Koko ha Green Wood)...) FYI, another impetus for me to type out these hints is: on Sunday, 6 December 2009, at the Sailormoon DVD Collection hatsubai kinen (on sale memorial) event, for the first time in 12 years, the five Sailor Senshi's voice actresses appeared on stage together: http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20091208-00000019-flix-movi ============================== Don "Tsuru Hiromi Inochi" Chan, voluntary contributor of: Cheat Happens http://www.cheathappens.com/show_user_author.asp?userID=80 GameFAQs http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/146.html?type=1 The Temple of Leda in Ashanti http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/jw!jqK9OXSTAxY5_CNyfkps95VHr.8w/ ICQ UIN: 3522863 ============================== *1 "Sakuretsu!"
