This FAQ is for anyone who has a Wonderswan Color and Final Fantasy II 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.

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

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.

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

The dafault names for the characters are:

tIj[-Furioni-ru (Frionil)
}A-Maria (Maria)
KC-Gai (Guy)
Ing-Reonharuto (Leonhart)

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

After the little intro and battle, hit the START button.  The menu screen shows
up.

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

ACe-Aitemu (Item Screen)

There's only 2 options in the item screen, they are:

-Tsukau (Use)  Ƃ-Seiton (Organize)

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

܂ق-Mahou (Magic Screen)

Use magic here.  Up to 16 different spells out of 40 (so plan carefully!) can
be held by each of the three main characters.  The option in the bottom-right
corner, with the trash can, S~΂-Gomibaka (Garbage Can), is used to throw
away spells, but they are gone once thrown away.

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

-Soubi (Equip)

The Equip Screen looks like this:

-Soubi (Equip) 傤-Saikyo (Optimum)
ڂ傳-Bougyosaikyo (Defense Optimum)

The Y4 and Y2 buttons go to the previous or next party member, respectively.

*-for the キ-Jukurendo (Skill), the first number after each icon is
the skill level for that weapon, followed by the experience points for it (at
100 experience, the level goes up 1).
The order for each weapon type is:
                             Fist
                             Knife
                             Sword
                             Staff
                             Axe
                             Spear
                             Bow
                             Shield

The Y4 and Y2 buttons go to the previous or next party member, respectively.

If you hit the A button while in the Status screen, a 2nd status window
appears.  This is what Maria looks like on mine at the time of this, with
translations for it.

P       }A-Maria
 i      HP 3789/3789
  c     MP  310/310

-Chikara      ..42 -Seishin  ..99 -Chisei    ..66
傭-Tairyoku ..85 ΂₳-Subayasa ..55 ܂傭-Maryoku ..26

Chikara=Power (Physical attack damage)
Seishin=Soul (White Magic strength)
Chisei=Intelligence (Black Magic strength)
Tairyoku=Vitality (Gain more HP with higher Vitality)
Subayasa=Speed (Higher Speed=faster turn in battle)
Maryoku=Magic Power (Overall magic ability)

Underneath those values is the magic chart.

PA   16-99MP16    z[[ 16- 0MP16
uUh  8- 3MP 8    CY    6-51MP 6
AXs  9- 1MP 9    GXi    8-34MP 8
wCXg  4-13MP 4    e|    1-46MP 1

Pretty much its just a quick and simple way to check how much exp a spell has,
which can be done in the magic menu anyway.  Here's what the numbers and all
mean, broken down.

PA-Kearu (Name)   16 (Spell Level)-99 (Experience of the spell; 100 for    
                   a level up) MP16 (MP cost of the spell, which is            
                always the same as the actual level of the spell)

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

-Tairetsu (Party Position)

Change the order of the party.  Push the A button twice on a character to
change their position from the front row to the back row, or vice versa.

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

Ƃ-Kotoba (Word)

List of the special words that must be said to certain people to proceed
through the game.

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

RtBO-Konfigu (Config)

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.

~j}bv-Minimappu (Mini Map) Two options are available,
           イ-Chikyuugi (Globe) and -Chizu (Map).

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

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).

TEh-Saundo (Sound) Set the sound mode to either
XeI-Sutereo (Stereo) or m-Monoraru (Mono).

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.
You can choose between 傫-Shoki (Default) or JX^-Kasutamu (Custom).

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.


bZ[W-Messejisokudo (Message Speed) Set the speed of the text when
you talk to characters.
1 is the fastest, 4 is the slowest.


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


Ƃ񂹂Ă-Seitonsettei (Arrange setup)

Set up the order of items.  The default order is:

Recovery Items
Attack Items
Weapons
Armor
Special Items

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

イ-Chuudan (Interrupt/Quick Save)

Save the game right at the exact point you are at.  Be aware that it is not a
permanent save.  If this option is selected, you will be sent to the title
screen, where you can choose between the following options:
j[Q[-Nyu-ge-mu (New Game)
[hQ[-Ro-doge-mu (Load Game) or
-Saikai  (Resume)

If you turn the game off at the title screen, simply select the resume option
to continue your game right where you left off.  Once the resume option is
chosen, the quick save is gone.

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

Z[u-Se-bu (Save)

Saves the game onto one of the eight different save files.

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

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.
