display how it would on the game (or use some other kind of Japanese text
viewing program).

This FAQ is for anyone who has a Wonderswan Color and Final Fantasy I for it,
and needs to know what the heck all the names of items, magic, characters, or
monsters are.  I assume you already know the game, so there are very few actual
strategies in this FAQ.  There are already a few at Gamefaqs already made, so
view one of those if you need direction on where to go.
The newest updates will always be at Gamefaqs.

In pretty much all of the lists, the order of what things are in will be:
Japanese Kana that appears onscreen/romanized version/my translation/name in
the US version of FF1 on the NES, if it is different. Enjoy!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

First up are the options at the title screen.

j[Q[-Nyu-ge-mu (New Game) Starts a new game.
[hQ[-Ro-doge-mu (Load Game) Continue off of a saved game (up to 8      
       different files can be saved).
-Saikai (Resume) Load a game that was saved using the
         イ-Chuudan (Interrupt/Quick Save) option.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are starting a New Game, you will arrive at the Character Select screen.
  Choose your four characters out of the six different types:

-Senshi (Warrior) Fighter
V[t-Shi-fu (Thief)
N-Monku (Monk) Bl Belt
܂-Akamajutsushi (Red Mage)
܂-Shiromajutsushi (White Mage)
܂-Kuromajutsushi (Black Mage)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the naming prompt appears, use this chart to pick the name you want (or
just use the English letters).

RtBO-Konfigu (Config)

[h肩-Mo-dokirikae (Mode Select)
J[\-Ka-soru ichikioku (Cursor Memory)
bTW-Messaji sokudo (Message Speed)
EChEJ[-Uindoukara- (Window Color)

[h肩-Mo-dokirikae (Mode Select)

For the Mode Select, you can either play in
IWi[h-Orijinarumo-do (Original Mode) or
GNXg[h-Ekusutoramo-do (Extra Mode)

Original Mode is exactly like the 8 bit version in certain things, while the
Extra Mode adds some updated changes.  The different options are:

I[g^[Qbg-O-tota-getto (Auto Target)  When Auto Target is ON, if two
characters attempt to attack the same monster, and one character kills it, the
other character will attack a different monster.  When Auto Target is OFF, the
second character will attack air, wasting their turn.

B{^_bV-B botandasshu (B Button Dash) When this option is ON, you can
run in towns and dungeons while holding the B button.

ogق-Batoruhojo (Battle Aid)  When this option is ON, several spells
and items that could not be used in battle, now can.  Examples are:
CY-Reizu (Raise)/Life, ACY-Areizu (Arise)/Lif2, Xgi-Sutona
(Stona)/Soft, and the ̂͂-Kin no Hari (Gold Needle)/Soft item.

ogL[wv-Batoruki-herupu (Battle Key Help) At this time, I am not sure
what the difference is when this option is ON or OFF.  Sorry.


J[\-Ka-soru ichikioku (Cursor Memory) You can set the battle
cursor in battle to either be set to 傫-Shoki (Initial) or -Kioku
(Memory-set to the last command chosen).



bTW-Messaji sokudo (Message Speed) Set the speed of the text when
you talk to characters.
1 is the fastest, 4 is the slowest.


EChEJ[-Uindoukara- (Window Color)  Set the color of the background.


Y{^Ă-Y botansettai (Y button menu) From the field screen, if you hit
one of the Y buttons, they will automatically go to a certain menu.

The defaults are:

Y1--Soubi (Equip)
Y2-ACe-Aitemu (Item)
Y3-Same effect as hitting the START button.
Y4-܂ق-Mahou (Magic)

If you dislike those, you can choose between any of the menu commands.

That's it for now, unless I get enough emails about anything else or any
additions/changes. Thank you for reading my FAQ and email with any questions
(akaiscarlet@hotmail.com) or if you just want to talk to someone about any of
the Final Fantasy games, or any other games I have written FAQ's for.
