Please note that missing pages probably contained pictures, or
something else that didn't need to be entered.

Well this was a big one, I must say. But it's done. Hope you folks
enjoy it. There may be grammatical errors in the manual at places
that a spell check won't pick up. I was working on three manuals at
the same time, plus I was in a hurry to get them all done in a short
time period. But they should still be relitively legible.

I'm gonna do something I've been hesitant about; include my email
address for once. Please don't email me with suggestions, but try to
keep it to errors that may pop up in the manuals. I'll enter it at the
bottom on the manual.

Story
`-----.

The world thrived on the power of four particular crystals - Wind,
Earth, Fire, and Water. With the power of Wind, people sailed ships.
With the power of Fire, they began the industrial movement. With
Water, people quenched their thirst, and from Earth, they received
blessings.

One day, the Tycoon King, upon feeling an irregularity in the air
currents, rushed to the Wind Shrine, only to find the Wind Crystal
shattering to pieces right before his eyes. In addition to this
catastrophe, an enormous meteor had fallen to the ground, causing
earthquakes in the surrounding land near Tycoon Castle.

Unbeknownst to them, this event is about to bring four people from
different walks of life together on a common journey. There is Faris,
a pirate who felt the impending disaster of the Wind; Galuf, a
mysterious old soldier who has lost his memory due to the force of the
fallen meteor; Reina, a girl who has left Tycoon Castle in search of
her father; and Bartz, a wandering traveller.

Why did the Crystal shatter? What happened to the missing Tycoon
King? What meaning does the fallen meteor have?

The answers will start to unfold as this grand adventure filled with
new encounters and many mysteries begins...

Saving/Ending
`-------------.

Saving Onto The Memory Card

The player will be able to save in the field or in areas such as
dungeons where save points exist. Select on the Menu Screen.
If the player selects a MEMORY CARD onto which the data will be saved,
the screen will switch to the MEMORY CARD File Screen. From this
screen, the player will be able to choose a MEMORY CARD slot on which
current game data can be saved.

Saving Onto the Memo File
-------------------------
A Memo File save is not the same as a MEMORY CARD save. The Memo File
system will leave one temporary record in the PlayStations memory.

Memo File will be deleted. Data that the player wishes to save
permanently should be stored on the MEMORY CARD. In order to record

Game Over
---------

- Party members become Petrified.
- Party members turn into Zombies.

Once a game is over, it is possible to continue from the last saved
point. During battle, instead of constantly attacking, the payer
should utilize Recovery Magic and other items in order to prevent the
decrease of HP to a critical level. Be aware of other characters' HP
level at all times. If a character is poisoned, becomes petrified,
turns into a Zombie, or gets paralysed, it is crucial that the
character is quickly healed before their HP reaches zero.

Battle
`------.

The FINAL FANTASY V battle system uses an ATB (Active Time Battle)
system in which time flows continuously during battle. With this
feature, the player will have to take advantage of each turn and plan
ahead to avoid giving enemies more time to act. Also, as mentioned
earlier, both Battle Mode and Battle Speed within the Config Screen
may be adjusted to the player's preference (see Config Screen on page
10). Besides normal encounters with random enemies, there are times
when the party will be surprised by a group of enemies, and gets
attacked first. Other times, an enemy attack may come from the rear,
resulting in a surprise attack made against the party's more
vulnerable Back Row.

Once in a battle, the time at which a character can act is signified
by the time gauge located in the lower right of the screen. Once the
gauge fills up for a particular character, the Battle Screen will
appear, listing the available commands. The command listed at the top
of the Battle Screen is , followed by a Job specific command if
a Job is assigned to the character. The third slot is generally taken
up by another Job specific command, though it may also remain empty if
one is not assigned, or if the assigned ability is not a command. The
last slot is occupied by the command.

Fight

enemy. Using the directional button, the player can choose to target
different enemies or allies. Once a target has been chosen, press
the button to execute the command.

selection. When a targeting cursor appears, select the target of the
magic spell with the directional button, and press the button
again to cast. Some magic spells can have multiple targets. To use
this feature, move the targeting cursor to the rear most target in an

selected character currently has equipped. Finally, move the cursor
to the weapon to be replaced, and press the button to complete the
command.

but will also take less damage from enemy attacks.

Row
---
Pressing the directional button to the left when the Battle Screen is
displayed will reveal the command. When this command is
executed with the button, the selected Front and Back Row
characters will switch positions. This command is useful in the
event of a rear or surprise attack, where the weaker Back Row is
exposed.

Escape
------
Although there is no display for this command, the player can remove
the party from a battle situation by simply holding down the L1 and
R1 buttons simultaneously. While this is possible most of the time,
be advised that there are some enemies that the party will not be
able to escape from, or enemies that are difficult to escape from.

End Of Battle
-------------
Upon winning a battle, the character will obtain money (in the form of
GP), Experience Points (EXP), and Ability Points (ABP). The amount of
money or points obtained depends on the number of enemies defeated,
and their type. Money will be necessary when staying in Inns and
buying weapons, items, and magic. Experience Points will be added
automatically and once a certain level of points is reached, the
character's level will increase. According to the job, Ability Points
will automatically be added as well. Once the set number is reached,
the type of Job and the corresponding Ability for that particular
level can be learned.

Swordsmen, while those with the power of the White Mage will gain the
ability to wield powerful White Magic and those with the power of the
Geomancer will be able to control nature at will.

Abilities
`---------.

Ability Definition
------------------
Each Job has a level different from the one a character possesses.
This represents how much experience the player has accumulated with
this particular Job. When the player obtains a certain amount of
Ability Points (ABP), the level will increase.

When Job Level increases, the player will learn various Abilities.
These Abilities are special techniques unique to the Job. Once the
Ability is learned, it will not be lost during a Job change. By
combining them with Abilities from other Jobs, the player will be able
to create extremely versatile characters. On the Menu and Job
Screens, the Current Job Level/Current ABP Value is displayed on the
right side of the Character Level, and thus, the player will be able
to check how many points are necessary for a level increase. (When

Abilities should not be combined randomly. For example, if the
Berserker Level 1 Ability, "Berserk", is attached to a White Mage,
the character will go "Berserk" in battle, and come under computer
control, denying the player any use of the White Mage's Abilities.
Also, attaching a Knight's Level 4 Ability, "Shield", to a Magic
Swordsman who already has the innate ability to "Shield" will have no
extra effect since the two abilities are the same. Thus, the player
should try to think of useful combinations to avoid wasting valuable
Abilities.

Magicite & Espers
`-----------------.

In the beginning of FFVI, only a few characters will be able to use
magic. The ability to use magic is granted by Magicite that can be
found as the story progresses.

Espers live in the land of the unknown, and are beings with tremendous
magical power. When these creatures die, they condense their magical
powers and crystalize. The resulting crystals are known as Magicite.
By equipping Magicite, the characters will be able to learn different
magic spells.

Equipping Magicite
------------------
In order to equip Magicite, select from the commands
in the Menu Screen. Stones that are highlighted can be equipped, and
those which are in darkened font cannot as they have already been
equipped by another member. The numbers designate the amount of MP
that is necessary to summon the Esper, which is the essence of the

darkened font in the Magic Spell List during battle.

`- Page -. 48

Learning Magic
`--------------.

Magic is learned from Espers. Generally, the more powerful the Esper,
the better the spells it can teach. The type of spells an Esper can
teach is related to the abilities of the Esper itself.

Obtain Magic Points
-------------------
Each Esper has access to a number of magic spells with a correspond-
ing number next to them showing the rate at which they can be
learned. As characters fight through battles, they will obtain Magic
Points at the end of battle. These points are multiplied with the
learning rate number to generate the amount of Magic Points earned
toward learning a spell.

If MP Reaches 100%, The Magic Spell Will Be Learned
---------------------------------------------------
Once all the spells have been learned from a particular Esper, it is
recommended that the player equip another Esper to continue the
process.

If an Esper is Switched During the Learning Process
---------------------------------------------------
Even if the Esper which a character has been using to learn magic is
removed and switched to another character, the Magic Points which
have been accumulated to this point will not disappear. The magic
spells which are in the process of being leaned can be checked in the
Magic List and the Esper Magic Screen.

Even With the Same Magic Spell...
---------------------------------
It is possible to learn the same magic spell from different Espers.
However, depending on the Esper, the rate of learning magic may be
different (the multiplier rates will differ). For example, the Esper
on the upper left has listed "Care x5", but the Esper listed below
has "Care x3". If the player receives one Magic Point after battle,
the percentage of added to the Magic Point total will be 5% for the
Esper on top, and 3% for the Esper on the bottom. To maximize the
rate at which magic spells are learned, players should equip Magicite
with the most efficient learning rate.

Obtaining Magic Spells through Equipment & Relics
-------------------------------------------------
Certain items in the game possess the magic power to teach magic
spells to characters. To find out which items have this ability,
examine an item in the Item List by pressing the button. If the
phrase is displayed, then the item in question
has the ability to teach spells in the same manner as Magicite.

Explanations of Espers & Magic

By selecting the command from the Menu Screen, and then
seeking the subcommand or , the effects of magic
spells and Espers will be displayed in the top left window. Bonus
point explanations will also be displayed in this section as well.

connected to which Esper.

Relics
`------.

various special effects. Relics are divided into two groups:

- Those that will change commands
- Those with special effects

will change. The image on the right shows Locke before and after
equipping the "Thief Glove" relic. Locke's battle command will
change from to , allowing him to steal and attack
enemies at the same time. In addition to this, there are other
relics that are known to change commands.

Relics With Special Effects
---------------------------
The majority of relics fall into this category. Some of these relics
have been known to increase character attributes while others provide
resistance to certain kinds of attacks. The attribute change which
occurs when relics are equipped will be displayed in yellow for those
that increase, and will be displayed in darkened fonts for those that
will decrease. There are also some relics that will allow the
characters to hold weapons in both hands and others that will
automatically summon magic in order to defend that characters against
enemy attacks.

Armor With Relic Effects

Some armors grant the same abilities gained from equipping certain
relics. Unfortunately, no weapons have this effect.
